What are the other big names from the top 5 that led to 53%? The most common names I remember are ASML, NVO, LULU, PYPL, and GOOGL. Only Google really made sense to me. Unless you’re using a specific thread where lots of infrequent users commented (like me) so higher performing stocks were overweighted as a result? Like I never see PLTR mentioned in that sub except negatively or ironically as a “degenerate stock”.
For the benefit of others reading your reply, in the TLH example, $3000 of the $3500 loss could be used to lower one’s ordinary income in 2025. The remaining $500 loss can be carried forward to use in future years. I’m primarily a buy and hold investor. I rarely sell, but at the end of the year if I see that I have some capital gains, I’ll employ TLH to negate those gains with the end result being a net $3k loss. Though long term gains are taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income for me, due to liquidating an inherited IRA, I need to control the size of my MAGI. I can always sell some shares of PYPL. :-(
trust. PYPL rocket inc.
Ah, sorry. I actually think PYPL is very undervalued right now.
I feel like PYPL is more insulated for two reasons. First, it has more business than Klarna. Second, Klarna carries all the risk of debt. But PayPal does not. The merchant does. PayPal gets a bigger slice of the purchase fee whereas Klarna gets commission for making the purchase possible.
PYPL for me. Not stupid expensive, they're transitioning to becoming more lean and focusing on directed advertising using their purchase data
I'm putting $500 on all but the 5 I don't already own (RKLB, MRNA, RDW, PYPL, RDDT) and KRKNF because my brokerage app said I have to call them to buy shares. I'll hold until Christmas 2026
There’s only one thing I know for sure. And that is that PYPL won’t be listed by anyone here 😂
SOFI was a great call when it was trading in the $7 range & everyone was dogging it. However, now I just don’t see it busting out of this $25-$30 slot. PYPL is probably a decent bet over the next 2yrs. While I don’t see it ever reaching its highs again, it’s in a good $58-$61 range for acquiring shares at a discount (they’re also doing a ton of buybacks). I see it trading back in the $80-$90 range in 2026.
PYPL. New management, cutting other bs, integrating ads and AI shopping. Me slightly bullish
It’s still trading very expensively for a company that is losing top line YoY. There may be something of a rebound here but I think if you are just looking for a move to make there are better momentum plays (space/energy) and better rebound plays as well (metals/AI and where I am personally, VITL and PYPL.
I sold PYPL to add more TSLA and AMD.
Sold PYPL - they don’t seem to be going anywhere. And: as a consumer, their product still sucks. Sold PVH - no moat (while i.e. TPR doing real well: pricing power). Hanging on to everything else (very diversified, large portfolio). NVDA, AMD, MU - still a keeper. Underlying trends still going on, strong execution, good financials. Only reason I sell is those companies that have no moat or execution issues. Still debating over ADBE (their financial trend looks good - the lackluster performance this year I think is attributed to AI scare if they are able to hold up. I believe they should be, human creativity can’t be replaced by AI)
Wouldn´t it be great to bet on PYPL now and win it all back?
Lost all my money during 2021 buying options thinking PYPL was going to bounce back, but nope. Also, FUCK PYPL.
I still think about when I was weighing my options for investing $5k back in 2023. Was trying to decide between PYPL and PLTR. Thank god lol

Thanks Morgan Stanley for downgrading PYPL. My GTC leap order finally filled and I’m officially loaded up now. Literally can’t go tits up 😵💫
PYPL at around 72$... holding because I think it will go up... someday...
PYPL is a great undervalued stock at this price. If you bought it years ago it was massively overvalued. I think that PayPal will be one of the best performing stocks in 2026-2027 based on valuation
Yeah ... based on that, I held on to stupid PYPL for God knows how long. Damn thing is a dead stock even though they are still excited about the company. There is a lot to valuation. I know the basic plot. PE, PEG, forward PE, the moat etc. But on this sub, someone explained why PLTR is trading so rich. I am not sure I would have figured it out myself. I will give it a thought and will try to put more effort into it. That's the only way out.
Financials and technicals in both companies. VITL is showing rapid, rapid growth and is solidly profitable while catering the the top of the K shape economy. At the bottom of 2 year lows while in much better shape then earlier arrivals at this price. PYPL is buying back over 10% of the outstanding shares per year at this price and paying a 1% dividend while priced for no growth. Still showing some growth in top line and increasing margin. They have a couple of initiatives (ads/stablecoin/bank charter) that could add more growth. If any of these initiatives work and PYPL gets repriced to 16x earnings or something the stock will be up 50-100% in 6 quarters. I understand it’s been a huge dog and people don’t like it but at these prices I think upside is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than downside
Every day that PYPL is down I buy a couple more LEAPS for Jan 28 and I’m starting to get seriously over leveraged. Really gonna need this VITL shit to work out and get to my price targets so I can gtfo and de-risk. Playing these games at what could be a local top for the markets is dumb and scary 😰
Morgan Stanley cutting PYPL's price target to $51 from $74 is bullish AF
Believe it or not, after the major sell off on lowered EOY guidance, VITL still strong and PYPL an absolute defensive juggernaut
Ranked from least to most concerned about whether/when it'll get back there. Most of these aren't too bad, and most of them are fairly small positions, but I'll play along. AMD $205 NVDA $205 CLF ~$15.50 TLRY ~$20 [post-split, i.e. $2 before] PYPL ~$120 BB ~$8 CGC ~$15
PYPL at $201 a share (luckily not many shares)
PYPL VS AFRM , pair trade they said. fml
Sell PayPal, keep Pfizer. You are getting paid a pretty good dividend yield waiting for $PFE to turn around. Plus if we have more US interest rates cuts, some risk averse investors will be bidding up the big dividend stocks. $PYPL doesn't pay a dividend and I fail to see a catalyst for a turnaround.
Even with the recent announcement I'd hold PFE and offload PYPL, PFE has pays fat dividends and is a better defensive option especially to offset your gains which I imagine are tech heavy
If PYPL sides with the seller after I escalate a dispute, I’ll short them to the core of the earth.
If the market falls 30% PYPL will still be in the 50s

Internet/mobile service is only a short term decline, not a long term one. People aren't going to stopping using the internet or cellular data. Over the long term, there is a lot of earnings growth potential. Debt is a moderate concern, but their leverage is not that significant. > CAG and GIS being food companies are bound to trade cheap. Historically, consumer staples traded at very high multiples due to their resilience during recessions. KO trades at 23x pe, PEP at 29x, hershey at 32x PE. GIS and CAG are cheap because they have faced some challenges the past couple years. >PYPL is a value stock but gets overlooked by V and MA. I think the concern is competition in the digital payments space, whereas V and MA still survive even if digital payments take off because people use credit cards to make digital payments
CMCSA and VZ have huge debt and are in declining industries. CAG and GIS being food companies are bound to trade cheap. PYPL is a value stock but gets overlooked by V and MA.

Sick results. I use the same strat as well. What do you think of PYPL?
You are crying about my ‘pumping’ scheme PYPL is a fantastic stock. It’s a defensive stock with significantly more upside than down.
Who's crying? I'm commenting on stocks you've repeatedly mentioned you weirdo. PYPL is a terrible stock. Wall St hates it and there's no catalyst to change that.
Buddy I’m a random redditor I have no following and no influence. Me saying the stocks I’m in isn’t doing anything. The people buying VITL eggs aren’t really worried about bad economy. They’re buying $10 eggs. PYPL is a fantastic stock at these prices. They are buying back 10% of the company each year plus a 1% dividend and having smal but reasonable growth. I don’t think anyone is claiming they are heading back to 300 but they are definitely heading back to 90 and their downside is imo extremely limited. Cry elsewhere
You really pump those stocks hard on this sub. VITL as a small cap is...fine. Gotta wonder how mega expensive butter & eggs will do in a bad economy. PYPL is a trash stock. Utter trash. People preaching a rebound is coming any year now and it just does fk all.
Broad market bull market trade + pmcc for income: NVDA MSFT Moaty compounder bought at reasonable price: NFLX, PG. Cheap turnaround story but takes time to play out: PYPL, NVO
Look at the strength of VITL today. PYPL green also. Both coming off the lows I'm going to print in the next few weeks unless indexes totally shit the bed.
look at the strength of VITL today. PYPL green too. they both coming off the lows I'm gonna print over the next few weeks
I’m dollar cost averaging into PYPL right now. 2026 is gonna be 🔥
VITL gonna get me close and PYPL gonna make me a millionaire
PYPL is a classic value trap. Looks cheap at 10 forward PE, growing revenue and net income. But they have no account growth and declining transactions per account. Since network effects are so important for a payments company they're just setting themselves up for disruption and competitors to take their customers.

48.4% VITL split 56% shares and 44% 20 and 22.5c for 4/17/26 33.6% PYPL split 63.5% shares and 36.5% 30-35c for Jan 27 and Jan 28 7.6% SMCI (boy i should have sold this a few times) 4.2% ROOT (dont know why I'm in this, was selling puts for high premium and got clobbered. Kept a few shares. rest is negligible split between EDIT/DOLE/SPY/BYDDY I think I should sell my DOLE at this price and stick it into PYPL calls. I want the whole account split between those 2. I'd also prefer to have a more call heavy split on those as well but it is what it is
PYPL is going to be my biggest winner next year.
There are stocks trading at rather cheap levels right now, because the entire market is trading based on momentum and hype right now. People are selling off boring stocks to harvest tax losses and piling into AI stocks. There is opportunity in buying boring stocks. CMCSA- 6-7x forward earnings, compared to 15x historically. While they face some stagnation due to competition in the broadband space, that's still potential 15% returns just for keeping earnings steady. PYPL, GIS, KHC, CAG, VZ are all in a roughly 10-12x forward PE range. Then you got REITs like AMH/INVH trading at 20-30% below the value of the homes they own minus their debts.
I just loaded up more PYPL shares today so get ready for another leg down soon.
Hi. I do the purchase of PYPL $60 March calls. Thank you. Bye.
I made a bunch of money diamond banding CMCT for a year and selling at the top the day before it collapsed. The. I shoved it all into WHLR and made even more. Now I've got tons of cash and started diversifying into... IEP PYPL WEN MNTS DDD
I'd keep $PFE. Sell $NKE and $PYPL. Every investor has stocks or ETF's they have lost money on. Cutting your losses early over holding just to prove to yourself you were right is the difference b/w making or losing money. You should always set a maximum loss amount you are willing to take before buying any stock or ETF before you buy. Or max diversification so much that any position is so small that you really don't care.

Continue to sell puts and swing trade in beaten down names using leverage. Right now we are all in VITL and PYPL. Hoping to get out of VITL at 40 and 44 and if PYPL is still in the low 60s slam it all in there
I pick individual stocks. No ETF's. I'm up 25% in 22 months of long holding my stocks. I do add on dips. I've also trimmed some stocks, and they approach (what I think) is resistance. I bought stocks near all-time lows. I looked at ROKU and thought, "wow. that's low." In truth, most of my gain comes from RDDT and buying on dips. I never second guess my choices, but I think they were all very undervalued, when I bought. I've lost money on both DECK and PYPL, but I am certain they will go up/rebound. I might be delusional, but I don't have any doubt. I see their drops as a buying opportunity. I just sold half my VFC (when it crossed $19), because I'm uncertain it will go higher.
ADBE, CRM, PYPL, SAP calls bought yesterday 🫠😋
If $PYPL somehow manages to make a comeback I will draw a heart, put it in an envelope, and send it to the ceo. Yes, I’m looking at the regard who said it was a good play…
$FISV what the hell is that have never heard of that. Damn $PYPL must be getting absolutely carried by Venmo because is 60b cap and I have not used it some to buy a fileserve subscription in 2013 that they still are trying to renew my subscription.

Is $AMZN on the path to the $GOOGL move where it goes up 30-40% next few weeks... or is it a dud like PAINPAL $PYPL
PYPL just need to give up. ACHR will hopefully go to $0
