re MA, V -
>>how low do you think it can go?<< If this comes to pass, maybe 50% lower. A ~90% haircut of revenues in the main growth business is very material.

I do think that this proposal is very draconian but I think something material is going to stock. MA and V have been overplaying the power of their oligopoly too much to juixce earnings - instead of passing on some of the cost savings due to technology evolution, which enables cheaper transactions, to their customers, they raised prices instead.

I think they overdone it and there is a significant chance that they are facing substantial pushback.
