Visa and MasterCard Stock
Visa and Mastercard stocks have been up quite a lot. I admit that I have miss the boat. However, I am not taking any risk on non-dividend paying stock even Mastercard has a very small dividend yield.
One way to play using ETF is the "First Trust IPOX 100 Index ETF" (FPX). The ETF tracks an index of top 100 IPOs. The fund allows you to play IPOs without volatile movements because it only adds the new IPO on their seventh trading day in the market.
Another ETF is (IYF) which is the iShares Dow Jones US Financial Sector which Visa could be next to join into the index.

Investing in Water ETF
I watched a news previously and did some research on invest in companies that sanitized Water. The article can be read at SeekingAlpha.
I personally like PHO (US) - POWERSHARES WATER RES PTF. It pays a dividend of 14 cents per year. I personally do not own any of the Water ETF (enclosure). Take a look at these Water ETFs. The author states that Water ETF is a great long term hold in the next few decades.
