MasterCard (NYSE:MA) ($95 per share) is basically a royalty on global consumer spending. Regardless of near-term economic growth rates, MasterCard is likely to be able to produce 10-15% annual earnings per share growth over the next several years. Its stock price is also near our appraised value, but if earnings grow at 10-15% per year, they will double in 5-7 years. Even if the P/E paid by investors shrinks a bit, our total return should be very attractive.
