TheStreet's Jim Cramer says to trade in your MasterCard shares for Visa
ahead of the planned share buyback. Home Depot is a buy in 2014 as home
prices increase, and a deal between Discovery Communications and Scripps
Networks could create value for both companies in the long run.

MASTERCARD | Stock of the Day - 11/27/13 | The Motley Fool
Payment giant MasterCard (NYSE: MA) has entered the shipping arena. The
company just announced a new program it's calling "Free Shipping by
Mastercard," which offers free shipping to MasterCard customers -- but
there are a lot of conditions.
MasterCard customers can get free two-day shipping under the free subscription model if:
• They pay with a MasterCard (OK, this point is obvious).
• They purchase their items from partnered companies, a short list that presently includes Macy's, Kohl's, Wal-Mart, QVC, and Best Buy.
• They make their purchases through MasterCard's portal site.
• They pay for the two-day shipping up front (they're reimbursed up to $20 per order by MasterCard later).
For a $69 year-long subscription, the retailer pool expands to 30 more participants.
Motley Fool analyst Jason Moser observes that MasterCard is trying to play the trend of free shipping, which has become a feature many consumers expect thanks in part to Amazon.com's Prime membership. However, Jason's skeptical of MasterCard's free shipping program, given how convoluted the process is, especially in comparison to the seamless experience Amazon provides.
