    “But I haven't added more shares because I think it's it hasn't dropped enough in a sense that it's not that undervalued. I would I would love it to drop a lot more to get more undervalued before I add more Visa and Mastercard because I already have quite a big position.”

    Adam Khoo had just called the recent drop in Visa and Mastercard, following talk of a 10% cap on credit card interest, a great opportunity to add more shares.

    “But all kidding aside, Visa and Mastercard, they don't just move money. I mean, there are many ways to move money, right?

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Adam Khoo's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is MA's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-11-06. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
