Are you sure that Visa bought MasterCard? Everything that I have seen still shows that Visa and MasterCard are separate. Even the fact that they are each planning on separate IPO's.

"Apparently looking to match rival MasterCard, Visa has installed a new board of directors that many observers say may lead to an eventual public stocking offering."
