I forgot how many shares outstanding PYPL has. It still has a market cap of over $40 billion. It's going to be a fun ride to 0.
I got a giant fucking helping of unrealized losses today. I rolled my 27Jan 55C’s out to 27Dec 55C’s. My April and Jan 65C’s are written off and being left for dead. Nothing to do now but try to ignore the PYPL lines for the next year.
Yea it was stupid but the position also fucked me man PYPL misses on earnings which should essentially be their best quarter announces new ceo without no warnings lost 90 percent on options with 200 days till expiration
I have MSFT but it couldve been worse like holding PYPL NVO ADBE
Important to note that stop-loss orders only protect you when the market is open during working hours. So PYPL tanking 17% overnight would not have protected those who had stop-loss in the low 50s. Stop-loss is great and I recommend people use that option. But important to understand it.
In what world would you buy PYPL calls?
Top posts are hilarious. "This sub's favorite stocks got absolutely hammered..." "How do I sue this sub?" "Be careful out there, everyone. I had 8 shares of $PYPL in my car and someone broke in and left 600 more"
B/c PayPal revenue & earnings have been falling YOY since 2022 and they are spending their remaining revenues poorly. If they are just going to burn thru their declining cashflows then at least return that cash to investors as dividends instead of buying back more of their overpriced stock. It's called a value trap where you are chasing bad money with new good money. **PayPal has spent $21.5 billion in buybacks since 2022, and the stock price is still flat!** PayPal [$PYPL](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PYPL/) is a very intriguing case in which we can assess why huge amounts of money used for buybacks do not always work. Indeed, PayPal has spent $21.5 billion in the last 4 years, counting what is being spent for that purpose in 2025, and yet the stock price has been almost flat in all that period.
AXON, PYPL, CRM, NOW, INTU, and NFLX. Sold a round lot of PLTR to buy LEAPS on all these. I should take a few months break from checking the market now, opening up the treasure box in April.
Well the main issue with that is the fact that PYPL still makes money. Elon has never liked companies like that.
I have to be honest. I thought PYPL would go up
sorry bro thats my bad, you see what happen was i went long on PYPL when it hit its support level, the same support level thats been there for the last 2 years, and thats when the stock totally tanked. My fault. Luckily I only bought 50 shares. https://preview.redd.it/pleslwq8ldhg1.png?width=3632&format=png&auto=webp&s=7cff310f515e6f864b6e081ce95bea37894d7099
PYPL’s most turned into a puddle.
Today, I bought some PYPL on the 20% pullback. Tonight, I listened to an analysis on their earnings and after I heard the anticipated decline in Q1, I sold it for a little profit.
You know what I hate... PYPL is kind of approaching "why the fuck not" territory. Bad thoughts. Go away.
I wish I'd known Nancy sold her PYPL bags last month.
Just in: Elon Musk offers to buy $PYPL at $420.69 a share, to show that he was the ultimate winner of the paypal mafia
The dead cat via PYPL is gonna bounce about an inch of the ground huh
I was gonna say it’s okay, PYPL will come back sooner or later. Then realized it’s options. GG
You're 17, you have car payments, and you got PYPL options? In any case, it's a good time to experience some life lessons. You'll be OK.
So you're telling me PYPL is not a buy at $42 ?
For earnings there are massive put walls around $70 and lower, massive multi-leg puts. I just followed the whales to be honest, I saw the same pattern with PYPL and folks arguing “oh it’s so beaten up how it can even go down more “ and we saw what happened. Obviously I’m not comparing PYPL with Uber but these massive walls of puts sometimes dictate a lot of pressure on the earnings post movement. Got just 3 78 puts for March, will sell immediately if it dips, if it goes against me that’s it, I will take the L. I think it’s a strong company with very low P/E but momentum is negative right now
I don't think your strategy is working. Consider buying sector or country focused ETFs. If you must buy individual companies consider placing stop loss orders. I bought PYPL today and immediately placed a stop loss order at $39/share. If it falls I will take a small loss and move on.
So many stocks are slaughtered, it’s wild. SNOW, SHOP, AMD, NVO, PYPL Wild.

I got puts - Saw so many whales on the puts side. I did the same on PYPL and it worked, so tried again
> they must be feasting today over at valueinvesting, with their great picks NVO and PYPL Typical redditor wouldn't know how to value a stock if their life savings depended on it. Guess that means stocks never go on discount and rebound eventually. That never happens either.
I bought PYPL back in 2022 and it’s been killing me ever since

I may have lost $5k today but at least im not holding PYPL or NVO 🤣🤣
I actually feel so bad for PYPL holders lol. Like, this piece of shit company has every god damn opportunity there is to be an absolute powerhouse in finance because they're already global, known by pretty much everyone and have more than enough cash to dump into something that can grow massively. But nah, just increase fees on people every year and do absolutely fucking nothing else to grow.
Some of you have PYPL in their port and it shows.
Anyone buying PYPL calls?
Look at the stocks they've been shilling on that sub. PYPL NVO ADBE DUOL etc, and now we're in earnings season
There's gotta be some degenerate on r/ValueInvesting who yolo'd into PYPL, got destroyed, and then decided surely the pharm industry should be ok, yolo'd into NVO, and lost 50% of their port in a single day.
lol ADBE NVO PYPL NVO NFLX Forget inverse WSB just inverse ValueInvesting
oh cmon now, nvo hasn't performed nearly as terribly as PYPL
Jeez, was PYPL named in the Epstein files or something.
To anyone who has had their money in RDDT, PYPL, NVO or ADBE they have like 3 lost decades worth of losses
There's gotta be a lot of retards on r/ValueInvesting who yolo'd into PYPG (2x PYPL) thinking there's no way it could go lower and blew half their port in a single day.
Imagine buying PYPL shares like a boomer at $300 because options are too risky
Half of r/ValueInvesting got wiped out this week for how hard they shilled PYPL NVO ADBE.
I will do you one better. I bought PYPL just hours ago of their earnings. It's not been a day yet and I am down 20%.
PYPL is getting delisted at this rate
Which dip would you buy: UNH, NVO, PYPL, MSFT
#PYPL Green EOD, I MEAN END OF YEAR, I mean END OF DECADE

Will you people stop buying stocks that peaked a decade ago That goes for all you PYPL retards too
PYPL has 14 billion in cash. Someone could buy it for 40 billion and effectively pay 26 billion for it
I REALLY want to buy PYPL but will wait until Thursday
PYPL was already down 25% from the Summer high by the time she sold.
Who knew the entire market would react so poorly to PYPL earnings. Everything is just drilling
11 years of PYPL gains. Gone. Reduced to Atoms. https://preview.redd.it/sljjiu09obhg1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=90a623d2a5bbe1f9573951fccddc33c221e39366

Some of these people are invested in NVO, RDDT and PYPL
if you bought and held PYPL since inception(2015) you would be up 10%!
Borrow money from paypal to buy PYPL puts. Can’t go tits up
I absolutely despise PYPL and pray for their demise. I ordered two vases about 2 years ago for my wife and 1 never arrived and the other came broken with literally no padding — I know, wtf. They denied my dispute. If I could summon a slow death for ANY company it wouldn’t be Marlboro, OnlyFans, none of those bad-for-you companies, no. It’d be PayPal and I hope they get nuked in fact -- their whole HQ and customer service support team in India.
wow both PYPL and NVO got slaughtered today. We need a wellness check for r/ValueInvesting
Tough situation when you're getting a margin call on $PYPL, the only way to satisfy it is with a PayPal transfer, but they've locked you out of your account due to a system glitch.
I mainly buy big tech (within US), wanted to diversify and get more experience with value investing in case of rotation. Fortunately, position in PYPL that I started yesterday is tiny and I’m still up big overall today.
Lmao r/stocks and r/ValueInvesting talked nonstop about PYPL and NVO being steals and look at that, both are tanking HARD
Yep, it's ok to sit back and watch too. Another example: Netflix is down 30% from it's high from 6 months ago. Why is it down? Because people are uncertain if merging with Warner at that price ($83b) is worth it. This could represent a good entry point as well. Like you said, is it a real problem or just noise? The market doesn't like it obviously. But looking more closely at negative stories represent (to me) the best chance as retail investors. I buy and hold. And just for full disclosure, I don't currently own PYPL or NFLX. But I'm paying attention.
Between PYPL, ADBE, and NVO, this is like 9/11 for value investors
If instead of wasting time gambling on this sub, you spent time reading value investing sub, now you’d be holding PYPL bags
Last month, Rep. Nancy Pelosi disclosed a sale of up to $500,000 worth of PayPal stock. Today, $PYPL is down 20%
I may be yugely regarded buuuuuuut PYPL earnings wasn’t that bad and it’s still an easy buy 🤷♂️ this is exactly what capitulation looks like
That's right. I don't know anybody who is 100% right on their entry point and thesis for all their positions. PayPal is a low % on his portfolio for the same thing. But he was right about AMD, META, PLTR... The moral of history is that his track record is good but not perfect. You gotta assess the risk reward ratio and see how you want to build your portfolio. Disclosure: I never agree on his PYPL buy neither NKE still but I also see the bull case that was built around those stocks. Disclosure 2: I'm down on some stocks as well. I'm getting hammered on CRM, DUOL & MSFT today, but they are all combined around 11% of my total portfolio with MSFT being 5%. I would love to buy SAAS at these prices, but so far, I like the exposure I have for the risk reward ratio on that industry (never double down just because they are down)
I pay attention to negative headlines more than positive as sometimes there's an emotional overreaction and can represent a decent entry. I did this when Steve Jobs died with AAPL. (Emotional drop in price). I remember when Netflix announced they were going to focus solely on streaming and stop mailing DVDs (CRAZY drop in price). I didn't have money at the time to buy, but if I did. Anyways, it's easier to zag whenever everyone's zigging, IMO. Just right now, for example, I perked up about the PYPL 20% drop. I'm not sure I'll take a position, but there really isn't a huge story other than they slightly missed predictions.
PYPL "long term shareholders" wish they were in your NVO instead today.
PYPL your suppose to keep drilling you cuck
ORLC META NFLX HOOD MSFT PYPL NVO Which stock is next? 😂
Look at the monthly chart for PYPL. It’s a giant middle finger to value investors
Puts *generally* have a higher premium than calls. In this case, PYPL puts are cheaper. If you look at the March 6th $42 options, you’ll see that puts are selling for $1.86 and calls are selling for $2.04. That gives puts a breakeven of 40.14, $1.99 from the current price, and calls a breakeven of $44.04, $1.91 from the current price.
a few PYPL ATM call leaps? idk
PYPL also had Musk fingerprints all over it, and look where it is now. TSLA is just polar opposite
Closed Today: Took profits on PYPL puts, and ATI • BALL calls Opened Today: - Calls: FLEX • NVO • SIMO • VVV - Puts: CDW • GEHC • SWKS *Disclaimer: This is not investment advice despite the fact I look good in a vest.*
The Pal is heading into GoPro levels of likiness. Remember those days fellas? I do (as a holder of PYPL) with my **bag** of Pepperidge Farms Cookies.
PYPL put me in a world of hurt today. Bought more leap calls.
u/RedOPants >then why did you buy PYPL?? Huh? LMAO. I didn't retard. I've been saying for years they're shedding users and losing market share. That topline and bottom line #'s masked weakness. That it's a value trap. I got banned from places like r/stocks for shitting on it. I'm using this to show retard bers why good companies can't be analyzed using simple metrics.
Where are those who said PYPL wasn't a good investment, huh? Here, all of us.
