Thinking like an investor: for every loser there is a winner

I wonder if Western Union stock is going to jump up.

It is probably a better play than PayPal.  PayPal's business is bigger than Western Union and is not likely to see as big of a revenue bump as a percentage.  Besides, PayPal has much internet euphoria already baked into the price.

An investor is somebody who, after getting a haircut, thinks "How can I get on the other side of the transaction?"
