UPGRADE TO OUTPERFORM!!!!!!
Analyst Actions: Western Union Upgraded to Outperform at Macquarie, PT at $20; Shares Rise 3% Pre Bell
BY Midnight Trader
— 8:56 AM ET 12/18/2013
08:56 AM EST, 12/18/2013 (MT Newswires) -- The Western Union Company (WU) has been upgraded by analysts at Macquarie to Outperform from Neutral.
The price target has been set at $20 a share.
In pre-market trade, shares of WU are up 2.61% to $16.90, and move within a 52-week frame of $13.18 - $19.50.
Price: 16.90, Change: +0.43, Percent Change: +2.61

Would love to get some chatter going from fellow investors.

I increased my position a few days ago @ $16.68 & $16.39.
When we got the pop yesterday I sold 750 sh late in the day @ $16.89. Now I'm holding 1,500 sh.

Hey anyone out there who might read this. I'm totally shocked that a company as huge as WU has had so little interest on this board.

I bought into WU on the 3rd qtr ER. Hold 770 shares @ an avg of $16.95
I think WU is oversold right now and could break $18 in a month.

I'd like to hear feedback from anybody out there. GLTA

Western Union Continues to Expand: Money Transfers Can Now Be Sent From Around the World to Myanmar

Jan 14, 2013 08:00:02 (ET)


ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan 14, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Western Union Company , a leader in global payment services, today launched Western Union Money Transfer(R) services at six banks in Myanmar, for the first time allowing Myanmarese and residents to receive international money remittances from more than 200 countries and territories in minutes.

In addition to the six banks, Kanbawza Bank, the largest private bank in Myanmar with over 90 locations nation-wide, has signed with Western Union.

A combined network of more than 150 locations representing Co-operative Bank, First Private Bank, Myanma Apex Bank, Myanmar Livestock and Fisheries Development Bank, Myanmar Oriental Bank and United Amara Bank are now connected to Western Union's global network of over 500,000 Agent locations.

Kanbawza's agreement will further expand the Western Union Agent Network to nearly 250 locations in the coming month. Western Union is the first global money transfer operator to sign seven banks after sanctions were eased last year.

"We welcome our first six Bank Agents into the Western Union family. Together, we are delighted to move money into Myanmar, allowing its people to access remittances with speed, reliability and convenience," said Drina Yue, Managing Director and Senior Vice President, Western Union, Asia Pacific.

"In connecting Myanmar with great swiftness, we have furthered our company vision of serving the under-served. For this, we thank the Myanmar government, regulators and our Bank Agents for showing great foresight in facilitating rapid service activation much needed by mostly Myanmar's citizens living and working across the globe," she said.

"International money transfer is an essential service for Myanmarese overseas and their families; it is a vital link to send money for regular financial support, education, medical, gifting on special occasions and other purposes," she said.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

This is becoming my least favorite stock...
We need to see a little forward movement and HOLD IT for a day or 2. Otherwise this one could be removed quickly from my portfolio.

I like to see the CEO out criss crossing the globe reaching out for new prospects but at some point someone has to notice and not sell off any little rallies...

Still excited for now..but growing weary ever day that this is a 13 $ BOW WOW!!!!


GLTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 6 mo target of 16.00 and 1 yr target of 18.00.

Look forward to a very strong economy on 2013 unless the feds screw it all up.

She going to be a screamer going into Q2.

GL and holding tight here.

Getting close to my strike price of $14.00!

Stock only for now.

If you don't mind me asking, are you playing call options or buying stock outright? I'm holding Dec. 22 $14 calls. Getting interesting...

Nice close today. WU could get jiggy with that gap to fill and fiscal cliff talks...

More dips today more WU in my portfolio.

WOW!!!!

can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Couldn't stop buying on those nice dips Friday. Look forward to some more on Monday if they so choose.

This is a sweetheart at these prices.

GLTA!!!!!

Someone liked it.. Up 2%.
I watched a video yesterday and the CEO said the fundamentals of the business are on fire. This is a true global cash play. Yes the US has some head winds but they are working on those. The other 2/3 of the world are expanding the business very nicely. I shall hang around for a while.

Also one other article I read indicated the US would pick up since 30% of the people in the US have NO checking account and the only way to transfer money is with WU. LOL I like that too!!!!!

Buy on dips here!!!!

GLTA!

FORM 8K SUMMARY FOR WESTERN UNION CO.

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/121211/wu8-k.html

How will the news today and the coming ex divi date play out in your opinion? Been watching since low $12's for a bounce that hasn't happened yet

This one is just way to interesting to pass up under 13.00
I am coming on board.
GLTM

LOL

WU now 93% institutionally owned. Anyone else enjoying the ride back up?

I could see a Buffett type investor move in here to WU at these prices. This prepaid card deal is HUGE!

Nice news today. Prepaid WU cards at Family Dollar. Also, touched $13.38 pre-market. Get ready!

Perhaps. Ive been doing some initial due diligence here first time and not comfortable with an opinion either way. Appreciate the input though.

They will be back for dividend execution date 12/13/12. The 25% dividend hike plus half a billion additional share buyback program will be MAJOR support for WU. I'm adding more cheap call options here... Election volitilaty could be fun!

See also 91% institutionally owned

When funds dump, they just dump. Will bounce!

Stalking WU. Looking really cheap for some reason. Have to do some DD and get to the bottom of why the market is pricing this so cheap.

Dec. 22nd $14.00 WU calls at a dime! WEEEEEEEEE!!!

Just BUY THE FRICKIN' DIP!!!

Great article. When they say "buy the dip", this is what they mean!

Picked up some Dec. 22nd $14.00 calls at a stinkin' dime. Almost NO risk imo with declared dividend execution date of 12/13/12. Throw in a half a billion dollar share buyback program and another $200 million or so buyback that expires on Dec. 31st, 2012 and election volitility and this baby has some MAJOR upside. RSI at 10.99 = NO BRAINER!!! WU OVERSOLD!

Should You Buy This Company After the Drop?
http://beta.fool.com/insidermonkey/2012/11/02/should-you-buy-western-union-after-drop/15650/?logvisit=y&published=2012-11-02&source=eptcnnlnk0000001

Does anyone see where this may bottom out at? Everytime I think of taking a position it keeps dropping.

That's what I'm thinking.

Bounce play?
