PYPL has been pretty solid for me. AMD is the one giving me issues.
, I think it’s time to get my money invested. What do you think about these? They are all covered call ETFs in CAN$ on the TSE - some are leveraged 25%. I made this list yesterday and updated it today. Almost every ETF went up overnight. See ( ) If I had bought yesterday I would be up over $700 for the day. I am anxious to get my money in. Do you have time to look them over and give me feedback? I notice that I went over my $60 K balance. I’d be happy to have $40K or $50 K invested and $10 or $20 K for dry powder.

Crazy how PYPL never recovered
PYPL It has been a hated stock for years while they been buying back $5 billion in share buybacks per year. Been slowly buying shares. At current stock price, PYPL would be buying back 7% of the total shares over the next 4 quarters.
Cash RCAT meh SMCI love it but looking to get out at 60 CRSP (looking to divest) PYPL just holding FSLR just sold most of it Just sold out of SOFI All others are very small allocations
With ROKU, I'm currently at break even, after 16 months of holding it. It's within 1 dollar of where I bought it (over several days, back in Feb 2024). I'm up some on PYPL and some on Z. But I'm down on VKTX and DECK. I knew I bought DECK way too high. I bought VFC. It went up 75%. I decided not to sell any. It cratered back to where I bought it. That's why I sold my SHAK.
How many times have you been value trapped? PYPL and TGT investor too?
$UNH, $AMD, $ASML, $PYPL, $NKE are all in my long term portfolio… I need to take some time to read a bit more and research on some of the companies surrounding AI infrastructure outside of the obvious MAG7 ones doing so already but I feel like you won’t be able to go wrong if you vet AI infrastructure & companies that hold a position in the process of bringing AI market - not the actual models themselves since all the good ones are private / require accredited investors status. If you want an easy answer and don’t want to do any work, I’d honestly just recommend following someone like Joseph Carlson from YouTube. … ***shakes head hard*** “whoa sorry boss! you were talking about risky options trades right? After all this is WSB…”
PYPL buying opportunity 👀🤔
PYPL is probably the better stable coin play they already have a well established payment system and their own stable coin, not financial advise.
Today I sold my positions in AMD/PYPL/SBUX/MA. Not because any thesis broke recently (other than Starbucks), but because I stopped putting in time to keep up with earnings reports and couldn't really justify holding on to them. And wanted a simpler portfolio. AMD/MA were +60% gains on remaining proceeds, PYPL was a 25%, and SBUX was basically flat. SBUX was the one with the biggest fail in thesis though. Bad earnings, risk of China exposure, tariffs, (and apparently they are planning on selling off their China holdings (allegedly)--not exactly a vote of confidence in a big chunk of their business). The new CEO thinks they just need some cultural change like using real ceramic mugs or making it more like a 'cafe.' But the real issue is they can no longer keep raising prices and eventually consumers will simply make coffee at home or buy caffeinated beverages in bulk. For what it is worth, I love Starbucks coffee but I just buy the beans at the grocery store. Would never throw away $7 for a cup of coffee from the actual store (or whatever it costs these days). Overall the Becky stock narrative has fallen flat recently. Whether that's Starbucks, Lululemon, Ulta, Target, ... This week I did add to my Google position though (and index funds).

wtf just happened to PYPL?
How tf is stable coin nuking my V and PYPL port smh
Sorry if my comment came off as a putdown. I'm actually in a long running put selling campaign on PYPL that's back in the money a bit (I'm at the $72.50 strike expiring this Friday) so I'm watching the stock on a daily basis. I don't mind the stock breaking down a bit as I'm happy to keep my campaign going and collect more net premium over time. The stock can be a great income generator for put sellers. That said, before I enter a new put selling trade on a stock - let alone buying an out of the money call like you've done - I want to see clear signs that the stock is done moving lower, and Friday's big down day on the day of your post didn't qualify. Hope the trade works out for you. The stock's decline last Friday was stopped at the 50-day ema, and it may be finding support in the low $70s so those are positives. But you'll need it to trade up to/above $80 by expiration? I'm guessing you paid around $4.50 for the call position?
I bought an $AAPL macbook air m2 on $META marketplace recently. I used $PYPL's Venmo to pay for it. I drove my $F truck to buy it, and stopped for lunch at $CMG and washed it down with a triple mocha frappuchino from $SBUX. I filled up gas at $XOM. What a beautiful day
PYPL is about to bounce? Did you see the big red candle on Friday?
Its to allow for others to buy at a lower price. Its a sale, bag up V/MC/PYPL instantly. Small % to AMEX too.
My vote will go with PYPL as more "more volatile" and chance of winning is good. Run with money when you see profit.
PYPL dipped hard, but with e-commerce and digital payments still booming, a rebound isn’t impossible. Just gotta be patient and watch for signs of life.
PYPL would it ever recovered? Man it’s trading at 1/3 from pandemic ATH lol
Your gut may be correct, but except for PYPL these are basically dead trades IMO. Two months and a few days for SNAP and NVDA to each go up 50%? Yeah right, if they come close to that you'll get a last chance saloon window to sell that you'll regret not taking. As for PYPL that's criminal to not bank profits on, at least clear your cost basis and ride the free money. *Strongly regarded trades 6.5/10*
Circle wants to be the Coinbasr for stablecoins, the jury is still out on whether stablecoins take off, I personally doubt it but the reason it took off is because it does have something a bit special/different. Chime on the other hand is going against much better and more established players (SOFI, PYPL, AFRM, XYZ, etc.) and it doesn't have any special moat to take on those big guys. Having said that, anything is possible in this environment as there seems to be a concerted effort to jump into new IPOs before lockup and before options and drive the stock up; if you know when to get in and out, you can make a pretty penny. Most everyone though will not.
my MSFT calls are fighting my ADBE calls which are fighting my PYPL calls which are fighting my CRWD puts
Stocks such as PYPL TGT and NKE are dogs. In strong bull markets like we are in now, the "beaten down" stocks do not outperform. It's the stocks close to all-time highs that you want to own in these kinds of markets. NFLX, PLTR, HOOD, CRWV ... the list goes on and on. Just because your "undervalued" dog stocks aren't on fire does not mean we are not in a bull market. But, feel free to try to time the market. I'll just keep holding the "stocks that are just rising continuously." That's what investing is all about.
I just don't really agree with the market valuations and am willing to sacrifice the gains to have cash and enjoy myself now, probably spend a lot of it then start adding to my stock positions if their prices start making sense .. still looking for deals out there, BAH, CHWY, ERIC, PYPL, and RYCEY are a handful that have done super good for me last couple years, I like stuff like that but the magnificent 7 and nasdaq just seem way overbought and I'm not risking 20-40% drawdown at the risk of losing out on even bigger gains, I'd rather spend my money on my life than try and chase the market up and potentially lose hard earned funds but I still put some towards like broad based funds and bonds and stuff for retirement I've taken a lot of profit and don't feel like allocating extra funds to equities when cash is still around 4% and I'm looking at never being able to afford owning a home right now lol sorry for the rant you got me talking to myself
PYPL before they start their ad business? All that consumer data is probably a gold mine they're sitting at. Risky move tho because it's highly speculative atm.
PYPL and crcl has a lot of potential overlaps. stable coin platform and paypal can litterally be the same thing. I wouldn’t drop it if you have it.
PYPL don’t even get me started…. I am fking holding this shit reach over 108 lol
$PYPL tried to catch a falling knife in 2022. Figured everyone uses Venmo or some form of PayPal, but will likely never get above $100 ever again
Help me understand the similarities between BBBY, a failed home goods store, PYPL, one of the million mobile payment apps, and UNH, the largest health insurance company in the US and #3 on the Fortune 500.
PYPL. Not sure if it’s ever going back to the pandemic high
PYPL/BBBY isn't a multi hundred billion dollar company. UNH is in the too big to fail category. It'll get a bailout or it'll buy its way out of its lawsuit...slap on the wrist, business as usual. That's how things go at this size
Not all stocks recover. See for example, my PYPL bags and what happened to BBBY a while back.
I think PYPL is also my worst. I can’t remember my cost basis offhand, but I think I’m down 65% or so. I’m still holding my shares too.
PYPL
!banbet PYPL 80 18d
I totally get it, feel the very same way about PYPL and I'm in a similar situation. I bought into SOFI early and DCA down when it was in the 6's and 7's. I think SOFI will be a $20+ stock once the macro changes a but your guess may be as good as mine
Out of all those stocks RKLB is my highest conviction. PYPL probably should have been number #5 or replaced with LUNR \^\^ I still have conviction PYPL will be a good stock in the long term but the street seems to hate it
Long UNH, GRND, PYPL, GAMB Short SPY, NN, MFH There, I gave you the ticket to becoming rich.
Happens every time. PYPL and CAKE both bit me in the ass
I experimented with a small account a while back and forgot about it. I invested in the following stocks; AMD, AMZN, BA, COIN, PLTR, PYPL. I logged in today and saw I'm up 143%. I had no specific assessment when I first invested in these, I just saw an opportunity and took it. I'm considering selling everything and invest it into a mutual fund. |TICKER|QUANTITY|BOUGHT @|CURRENT|P/L %| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| || |AMD|2|$98.37|$228.64|16.21%| |AMZN|2|$171.95|$410.96|19.50%| |BA|1|$124.83|$204.39|63.73%| |COIN|2|$67.24|$530.26|294.33%| |PLTR|15|$8.35|$1876.97|1399.30%| |PYPL|7|$88.75|$506.65|\-18.44%| My questions are as follows; Would you sell for a mutual fund? Which mutual fund? Should I keep holding these stocks instead?
PYPL came to mind because it's my heavy bag. It's an apples to hammers comparison, true. I still think UNH has room to drill by 2026 due to the seasonal nature of health ins sign ups. The CEO got murked in December when everyone was locked in to their plan for the year already. Open enrollment 2025 is around Nov. There's still months to go where after all this negative press, employers HR depts say "actually let's not offer UNH" and then employees at open enrollment say "fuck UNH I'm picking the other one."
Take it from a PYPL bag holder - just because a stock halves, does not mean it's ever coming back up.
PYPL up a casual 17% this month. My forever goat 🥵
Hold the ones that you think can bounce back, average down if you really believe in the company, and sell the ones that you don't believe in. From your names, I would hold ON, UNH, and UPS. I would hold ON long-term, and look for an exit for UNH and UPS when their stock recovers to a better price. I'd sell PINS and PYPL. I don't know INMD, but I would probably just hold it and let it ride since it's basically a micro-cap lottery ticket.
"Thoughts on Block inc short and long term?" No interest in fintech. There isn't a real moat with these companies, the growth story isn't very compelling and you have these companies that are very sensitive to the consumer cooling off at all. If someone sees these companies when they're technically oversold and wants to play for a bounce, fine but I haven't and still don't get seeing these as compelling long-term growth stories. Fintech was a compelling growth story seveal years ago, imo that's over - if PYPL looks cheap it's cheap for a reason; it's a maturing company and the growth story of the past is (unless something changes, which so far no) over.
A PYPL holder. Yay!
PYPL 120c is probably the most brain dead play I can think of so it should print
Having a set number is pretty arbitrary. If you watch them all the time, why not have as many as you feel are really great? At the moment I have 15, and every one of them makes me go "this is gonna get better every year for a bunch of years." I get in and out of things, which you might not be interested in, understandably. But sometimes that can determine if makes more sense to add something or take something out. For example last week I took profits on PLTR and CRWD and immediately rotated that into my existing AMZN, GOOGL, PYPL, and SOFI positions to average down.
ROKU, PYPL, SHAK, Z, MTN, IHG. I don't use IHG, MTN, or SHAK every day.
None of these have gone up over the past 3 years ROKU PYPL Z DOCU VFC GOOS MTN These are all near all-time lows. The stock market is like Chicago: There are a few centralized posh, upscale neighborhoods, but those are surrounded by low-income, dangerous neighborhoods. If you walk away from big tech stocks in any direction, you'll find depressed stocks all around.
When the markets are somewhat rational and a mad king doesn’t pump and dump with insider trading, I was making bank doing SOFI PYPL and CAVA. I used a lot of technical analysis AND instead of stock I did leaps. Made a return of 670%. Now in this system will lose you money. Right now it’s a casino do NOT bank on this.
I do have some calls AAPL 210 5/9 SQQQ 30.50 and 31 5/9 VIX 27 5/9 APLD 4 1/15/2027 APLD 6 9/19 PYPL 80/85 6/20 The only puts I have are: SPY 555 5/5 MSTR 360/357.50 5/9 MSTR 370/365 5/9 TSLA 235/230 5/9 If I have more calls than puts I am bol right?
PYPL in shambles 
People on here really want to like this and PYPL and I still don't see it. IMO, fintech isn't that compelling - it doesn't really have a moat, not that much of a growth story (cash app "Cash App Monthly Transacting Actives" flat for the last 5 quarters) and they're consumer sensitive so you get this combination of growth that's not interesting (XYZ *somewhat* better than PYPL, but still not great) and something that's also a shitty place to be the moment the consumer starts to erode (see XYZ's guidance yesterday.)
lol def not PYPL. Visa. Fintech dead dude.
PYPL is one of the worst sticks I have ever seen. It just goes down.
Wasn't PYPL trading at 50 times earnings for years? Easy sell back then.
Finally sold all of my PayPal ($PYPL) after YEARS of holding on as a former employee who acquired shares through the employee stock purchasing program (ESPP) and granted RSUs. Not happy with the price I sold at, but it’s frankly a dogshit company with every single one of their products declining in revenue, market share, etc. Alex Chriss has been CEO for two years now, and not enough has improved.
Looks like the missed puts on SOFI and PYPL might actually still come in
Don't you just love to get a privacy/ToS update email on a service you haven't used in years. PYPL
*Why PYPL why you haveta fuck my calls?*
PYPL is a dying dinosaur, stagnant growth and rudderless. So much for "shocking the world" Mr. Chriss
PYPL beats but still goes down 
PYPL trading today like it got split personality or something...I'm green, no I'm red, wait back to green lol
PYPL dumping on earnings as per
C'mon PYPL show the world how it's done
*No matter how hard I try I can never be totally sure my anos is secured pre-market. SPOT how could you? I trusted you! My calls in shambles. My anos is under brutal attack. The ghey bears got me.* *PYPL you're my only hope of recovery. Please don't hurt me.* 
Knew a guy that used his service. Made some money but stopped because 1) Jaffee sells OTM puts in a small basket of companies, which work fine most of the time but then you get wiped out on a strong downward move 2) because you are taking in tiny premiums for large risk, it’s tempting to put on even more risk just to break even after Jaffee’s large subscription fee. This guy stopped his subscription on the service just in time — right before the massive 2022 tech route. Jaffee and his followers ended up losing huge amounts of money on PYPL. As PAYL tanked, Jaffee’s response was to sell dozens of calls against the position. Just absolute madness. If there was a V-shaped recovery he would have been screwed. Think Jaffee does a different strategy now with bear put debit spreads funded by multiple OTM puts. No idea how that’s performing nowadays, but I’ve found that the bear put spreads take so long to mature and they don’t provide much of a hedge.
*They're gonna fuck my PYPL calls aren't they?* 
*I now fear my PYPL calls might suffer the same fate as my NXP calls.* 
Short KO and long PYPL for earnings tomorrow. I'm sure i fucked it up. But not so sure . . .
Mine is similar. I have AMD, GOOGL, NVDA and PYPL. Had AMD since the 90s. Cash if stocks get lower.
I'm loaded to the teeth on PYPL shares. Loaded 50 calls as well that expire Friday. I'm probably fucked.
Common sense says PYPL and SOFI puts are the play because of consumer confidence heading into the shitter, but they're too beaten up already, any hint of good news in a normal market may send them flying...
UPS, PYPL earnings tomorrow morning Dropshippers are ded 
PYPL current price is $65, are you high?
Affirm Holdings (AFRM) is probably the most popular, with PayPal (PYPL) being one of the largest.
