<> 
<> With the economic downturn, rising unemployment, decline in house prices, and limited ability for consumers to continue using their homes as an ATM; credit card debt is poised to be the next disaster in the financial sector with bearish outlooks for credit lenders Capital One (COF), Discover (DFS), and American Express (AXP). Credit card processors such as Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) have also declined with the overall market, but are leveraged to the volume of transactions with debit and credit cards rather than...

Discover Card is being hurt by the weak consumer and credit crunch just like all the other financials. Unfortunately for it, it lacks the same brand strength of V, MA, and AXP.

Discover Financial Services has been gaining market share, most recently though its purchase of Diners Club. They are also sueing Visa and MC for blocking their marketshare.

Discover Financial: Quite Solid Results, All Things Considered
<>I have a long Discover Financial (DFS) position married against a short Capital One (COF) position; but in this day and age such hedging strategies are moot points. Every stock in a sector goes up (or more rarely nowadays, down) as based on HFT algorithms. Differentiating between companies within a sector is moot as all go in the same direction.
