Adding Mastercard (nyse: MA) to Best Ideas

• Buy $5,000 of Mastercard Incorporated (nyse: MA)

I want to let subscribers know that I added Mastercard Incorporated (nyse: MA) to the Best Ideas Portfolio today. I've been following the stock for a while now, but rmcduff, one of our mFOLIO Masters, just put a journal entry up on his blog that I found compelling. What I really liked about this post is that Randolph was able to explain the conventional wisdom about the stock, and why the conventional wisdom is wrong. I find his arguments much more persuasive than those you typically hear.

The stock has already had a great run since it went public, so I am starting this out as a relatively small position.

btw - Randolph McDuff is a m10 member and mFOLIO Master that has one of the best and longest track records at Marketocracy. His RMG2 model fund has averaged 43% PER YEAR and his larger-cap RMG1 model fund has averaged 28% per year, both for over 7 years! MA is currently his largest position at around 25% of his portfolio.
