Visa to Undertake Assessment of Stake in Monitise

market clearly didn't like something this company did, or didn't as the cse may be

Visa Inc. to assess investment stake in Monitise

Visa only has a 5.5% stake anyway. They have been reducing for quite a while.

Yes it does seem extreme - still made a bit of a mess in one of my accounts though!

I don't think it is the % visa reduction in moni that is the worry - it is the fact visa and likely others are developing their own in house capability which means moni will lose business probably across the board - would expect more red

coming back maybe this is why?
