Western Union & Akimbo Card Opportunities?

Digital money transfer is in Vogue:

http://download.cnet.com/Akimbo-Card-Mobile/3000-2057_4-76717655.html

Akimbo/FiCentive dot com, mentions MasterCard and Akimbo (5) load and reloadable money transfer companion cards.

Smart Card and iRemotePay-Pass money transfers, can provided military-grade secure records, when money moves A-B, in-between and through the ACH.

WU and shareholders, might want to keep-an-eye-on PYDS and Akimbo, after PYDS acquires Singular Payments.

SD: Perform your own due diligence, before taking a calculated risk a.k.a. gamble on a microcap Payment Data Service solution. I own PYDS stock. The company caters to the non-banked Hispanic masses and others. Load & reloadable FiCentive Cards are FDIC Bank connected, as well as bank-independent....

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!!!!

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!!!!

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!
