Mastercard Incorporated (MA): 'This Is Your Chance' To Buy, Says Jim Cramer
Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) is one of the . Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), like its larger peer Visa, has faced a roller-coaster ride on the stock market this year. The firm's shares have gained 4% year-to-date as it navigates through one selloff after another. Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA)'s shares sank by 12% in April after Liberation Day tariffs created worries about economic stability in America. Then, after it slowly regained the lost ground, the stock tumbled by 9.6% in June after the Senate passed legislation related to stablecoins and created worries about market share loss. Here is what Cramer said: 'We've gotta keep going on this. . .Mastercard. Because a lot of our viewers think that these companies are really at risk. I actually think this is your chance to buy them. They're always at risk and they always win.' A woman using a payment terminal at the checkout of a store showing payment products and solutions. Earlier the year, Cramer advised viewers to consider fintech bottoms when evaluating Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA): 'Watch fintech. Fintech bottoms before actual fin. Fintech is like the best place to be, you know Mastercard is a travel, travel related company. I would watch that. I would watch Visa. Another travel related company. Because those have been part of the cohort. If they can overcome travel and the Affirms of the world can overcome the buy-now-pay-later, you're gonna see a rally. You will see a rally.'

Humanoid Robots Play Soccer Poorly in Chinese Exhibition Match
They looked like tipsy 7-year-olds stumbling about the soccer pitch. But the game that unfolded at an industrial zone in Beijing was a breakthrough for humanoid robots and the artificial intelligence that powered them through a 5-3 match on Saturday. Clad in black and purple jerseys with individual player numbers, diminutive humanoids faced off for two 10-minute halves, their movements controlled not by gesticulating coaches on the sidelines but by built-in algorithms.

Major names with minor beginnings
Christina Jelski What's in a name? I found myself pondering this age-old question during a media dinner hosted by Minor Hotels earlier this month, while listening to Marion Walsh-Hedouin, the group's global communications director, share details about the Bangkok-based company's early days. That included background on the group's name, which had always struck me as an odd fit for a fast-growing hospitality empire that now spans more than 560 properties across 58 countries. And in an industry where names like Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria convey luxury and refinement, "Minor" seems understated by comparison. Minor Hotels' roots can be traced to 1967, when American-born entrepreneur William Heinecke founded Minor Holdings. That name wasn't born out of focus groups, a shrewd business plan or a prestigious family surname. Instead, the name came about simply because Heinecke was 17 at the time, so he was literally a minor when he started his business. Despite choosing branding that essentially advertised his inexperience, Heinecke managed to build a substantial portfolio over nearly six decades, expanding the Minor Hotels fold with brands like Anantara, Avani, NH Hotels, NH Collection and Tivoli. The origin story got me thinking about other hotel brands with names of similarly unconventional origins. Take Richard Branson's Virgin Group, for example. When Branson and business partner Nik Powell founded the brand as a mail-order record company in 1970, they landed on the name Virgin "because they were entirely new to business," according to the company's website. Like Heinecke, they had no experience -- as well as no shame about making that fact known. But from that humble beginning, Virgin has evolved into a billion-dollar empire spanning airlines, space ventures, hotels and many other industries. Naivete, it seems, can be an underrated asset in the hospitality industry. But sometimes, the universe intervenes to save founders from their own worst naming instincts. Consider Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, whose founder, Isadore Sharp, originally wanted to call his hotel chain Thunderbird Inn. It would have been a fitting title for the company's first location, a modest "motor hotel" in downtown Toronto that opened in 1961. But as fate would have it, that name was already taken. So, a relative suggested the "Four Seasons." While Minor and Virgin embraced their inexperience, Four Seasons stumbled into a brand that has come to be synonymous with sophistication, with Sharp declaring that "there was no vision, there was no grand dream" in those early days, according to the company. The luxury hospitality brand, however, hasn't forgotten its roots. The name Thunderbird currently graces the employee cafeteria at Four Seasons' Toronto headquarters, a reminder of what might have been. Can you imagine a parallel universe where well-heeled travelers check into the Thunderbird Beverly Hills, or a newlyweds rave about their honeymoon at the Thunderbird George V Paris? It doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Four Seasons, does it? These companies were all able to flourish and become leaders in the industry despite their somewhat humble stories of branding based on youth, inexperience and happy accidents. It may go against conventional corporate wisdom these days, but perhaps the most powerful brand story may be admitting you didn't really have one to begin with.
