PYPL shorts. Honey scam.
Nah man, you're missing the bigger picture. [PayPal's TPV just hit $417B with 11% YoY growth](https://beyondspx.com/article/paypal-holdings-inc-pypl-a-payments-powerhouse-navigating-the-evolving-fintech-landscape) and they're still expanding. Sure, sentiment swings happen, but PYPL's got that fat $9.08B cash pile and they're [buying back $6B in shares](https://beyondspx.com/article/paypal-holdings-inc-pypl-a-payments-powerhouse-navigating-the-evolving-fintech-landscape) this year. The competition FUD is overblown too. [Even with Apple Pay and Cash App breathing down their neck](https://finance.yahoo.com/m/ddac376e-2820-3e2b-828b-354645613597/paypal-is-skyrocketing%2C-but.html), they're still growing transactions 8% YoY. That network effect is real - merchants can't afford to not use PayPal. Their forward P/E is only 19.9x with double-digit growth. This isn't some speculative play - it's a cash-printing fintech giant that's just getting started. Waiting for a dip is how you miss the real moves. 🚀
Lots. JPM, V, MA, CRM,AMD, BA, PYPL, BRK.B, AMD. 5% max in any stock is my goal, and I try and keep industries balanced.
Still holding PYPL. Will sell at 100. Rebuy at 70.
FOUR, TOST, SQ, PYPL all gave great returns and he goes with the worst pick. Highly regarded
The funny thing about this is that during the correction last week, PYPL dropped from $92 (billion) to $85 (billion) on nothing company-specific, just the market selloff tantrum that came after the Fed rate cut.
Even split between PYPL and SQ. SOFI but other financial stocks should do well also. Even split between OKLO and SMR
I saw this online yesterday and was actually more surprised that people didn't realize that's what it was doing. I assumed people knew it was inserting itself as the affiliate. There is no money in providing coupons after all, but there is money in affiliates. And as they become the last affiliate, they get the credit for little work. Is it right? No. Is it the way affiliate tracking works in general? Yes. I think the people who use plugins like Honey probably don't care how it does it for the most part, they save money and that's what matters most to them. So, while this is news in some circles I could see it having little impact on $PYPL too much. Now the advertising opportunities might hurt as influencers are less likely to promote it.
Do you think that PYPL can pull another +40% in 2025?
$4B seemed very excessive for it when they bought it in 2019. Still not interested in owning PYPL but they will probably blame prior management, apologize, work something out and move on. I'll guess that process will also likely result in Honey being shut down.
I own about 16K in PYPL at 63 a share I will freak the fuck out if it tanks
Watched the video about the Honey/Paypal scam... calls on PYPL.
Anyone seen $PYPL. Not sure if it's news, but it seems like bearish. wdyt going short on it? Especially since tthe news is over the weekend and theres a chance for it to blow up. Basically PayPals Honey has been scamming people for years. [Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk&t)
PYPL and ENPH got me bad. I learned to focus on the ones that are good to me and ignore the ones that hurt me. I think the way some stocks move just fit me better. Focus on the good. Ignore the bad. I believe in you.
I see a PYPL hitting $90 again by end of week
It’s funny how here everyone calls Tesla a bubble, but in 2021, everyone here was bullish on the most obvious bubbles of the last decade (PTON, PYPL, SQ, ZM, etc.), just as they were horribly bearish on Meta at its absolute bottom. I’m not a Tesla investor, and I don’t have an opinion on its current price, but Reddit’s stock sentiment is notoriously unreliable.
I’m outperforming SPY. My average on PYPL was in the $50s, and my average on INTC is very low. I also made good money buying the dip on SPOT and META. As a value investor, I base my stock valuations on reality rather than gambling on companies running glorified Ponzi schemes with extra steps. If you’re going to cite someone as being knowledgeable or meaningful, at least link better timestamps next time, rather than throwing a tantrum when someone calls you out.
LMAO majority of your portfolio is PYPL and INTC, thats all i needed to see. Have fun underperforming.

What do you think about PYPL now?
https://preview.redd.it/nlpytvrzcb7e1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a45c14a7176b5ef6e39650a00eb2633b26188682 I'm up roughly $1.3m since Feb 2024. VKTX, MDGL, ROKU, PYPL, DOCU, SHAK, Z, VFC, the photo is a couple of days old. I don't look at my balance every day.
Sell half of FVRR and half of PYPL. You don't want to see a winner turn into a loser, ever. Set your stop loss on the remaining halves to your break even point. By selling half, you'll be giving yourself mental capital. Either it goes up and you think "thank god I held onto half" or it does down and you think "thank god I sold half". And those halves are financing the risk of your remaining shares, granted you set the breakeven stop loss. You mention you're "new to trading" in the comments. Trading can be different from investing. There are a lot of styles to choose from in either path, but the most important aspect every successful trader and investor have in common is risk management. Learn everything you can about risk management, early on in your trading career, and you'll be holding onto the profits you see here and most importantly, you'll never blow up your account. Don't let anybody tell you that holding a big fat loss is a good thing.
Yea I cut my AMD position in half this week. Was tired of seeing it the only red stock in my port. And it had one of the higher initial investments. Threw some of that capital at PYPL and GOOGL.
Yep! I have a separate account where I do this. Buy leaps of undervalued companies. This year I brought TWLO, GOOG, PYPL, SQ, AMZN, META and bunch of others companies. they all went up except INTC and few others. I am at 33k now and started with 8k from early this year. I sell CC on them and make some extra $$ on the side. This is also called as PMCC.
Was just responding to the sending money internationally bit. PYPL is instant and safer. BTC isn’t the answer to THAT specific problem.
And PYPL has a $90B marketcap because that is a useful service. However PYPL also has a CEO, which could be risk. They could dilute shareholders. Bitcoin has none of those risks. But I won't act like it has no risks. Mainly Microstrategy buying tons of BTC. And some blockchains can do transactions instantly (Hedera, Ripple, Stellar). I just used the 10 minute figure because that is Bitcoin's block time.
I send money to the Eastern hemisphere instantly with PYPL…
PYPL bags are getting lighter 
There are many retail stocks (or otherwise) that fall into this category, trading below their previous all time highs. One just needs to do their own DD and develop a thesis and prediction if these companies can execute to deserve their previous all time highs (PYPL, NKE, LULU, SQ, heck dare I say it even AMD)
What’s with PYPL getting mentioned with crypto…🤔 I was buying for Venmo, Zettle and Pay with PayPal, could be another boost?
PYPL 
ROKU, SHAK, Z, VKTX. maybe PYPL. I just cashed out of DOCU, after a big profit.
AFRM and PYPL. Buy now and pay later will be huge.
It takes all of 10 minutes of looking to find that it’s not just “ Low Quality companies “ that are not overvalued lol. METAs forward PE is 28. GOOG is 20. PYPL trading at +134% of its IPO price. Russell 2000 compared with the rest of the market has some serious catching up to do. Also just because a stock is at an ATH doesn’t mean it’s a bad investment.
INTC is the new PYPL 
PYPL. I'm down like $10k from the 2021 high but they got a new CEO and stock is heading in the right direction.
For options IV way too high. SQ PYPL HOOD are much better imo and not entirely dependent on 🌽
Last night i was checking SQ / PYPL how many bitcoin they own. So i think their earning going be good since bitcoin jumped from 60k to 96K since October.
Why the fuck are my PYPL bags so light suddenly? I just hit a $90 price alert I set so long ago I forgot it was there

PYPL trading over its 2023 yearly high of 88.63
I know you don't like TA but this is what you use to analyze the trend, which seems pretty bullish at the moment: PYPL broke above previous resistance today with high volume, which means many people think it's cheap now. Also, it has been bouncing on the 20SMA for months which gives you an indication when to sell - once it goes below it, means people don't think it's worth buying as much anymore.
Looks like I exited DAKT a bit too early at $14-15, now it's at $18.5 after a great earnings! The industry seemed a bit too risky for me so I wanted to just take the gains I had. I was also unsure how tariffs would affect it. It is a US manufacturer but a lot of electronic components come from abroad, especially China. I had similar fears about Ubiquiti (though they are even more exposed to tariffs) which is why I recently sold out, in addition to the multiple going crazy. I'm really debating selling off PYPL for a 50% gain... It was a value play, and I'm reluctant to treat it like a growth one.
PYPL acting like SQQQ
Although PYPL is selling near its 52 week highs, it’s still a fraction of where it was in 2021. I think I’ve lost 50%+ on paper. I do own shares in V, MA, JPM, and AMP - they’ve done well in recent years and continue to do so. With Trump taking office - perhaps you should invest in MCD and KO. just kidding, though I’ve owned them for the several years.
SOFI is the only other digital bank play that has a bank charter. This allows it to do tons more than other FinTech (PYPL, SQ, HOOD). You should look into a long position.
So mine counts as both; proud that I called it and ashamed I didn’t act on it cuz I was broke at the time and uneducated. In early 2017 I was building new pc and started reading really in dept reviews of Ryzen cpus (AMD) and their multi core processing was beating Intels and no one in the industry was really hyping AMD yet except the hardware nerds. I told my buddy to buy AMD stock cuz they are gonna beat Intel in 2 years. And told my uncle, he worked for Intel, that AMD was gonna take them out. Joking obvi. Now looking back, i wish I had. Actual buys?? PLTR cost basis is $7. I only own 1k shares so nothing big. PYPL cost bases was $180 got it down to $110 slowly but it’s taking a while. I’m not rich so it’s a slow game for me.
I actually did pretty decent on O. Bought in around $50 and sold around $61. Collected dividends for about 9-10 months too. I also bought calls on it when it was trading at $50 and had 200-250% gains. I’d say SQ or PYPL were my worst. I bought in 2021 before they dropped and was down like 70%. Luckily I didnt put too much money in. Ended up selling for a loss to offset some of my gains in other stocks. Also did pretty well in AAPL. Everyone was talking shit on it on here when it was trading at $180 so I bought in and sold at $230. Currently my best purchase has been not a stock but ETH. Once again everyone was talking shit on it at $2400-$2500 so I loaded up. Even managed to snag some at $2200. I’m up a solid amount on that right now.
Current portfolio: I'm up 76% on DNN, a uranium mining operation in Saskatchewan. I'm down 51% on ILPT, an industrial REIT that bought a much, much larger company, closed the deal, THEN started looking around for financing. This as interest rates blew up. Worst all-time were buying North Atlantic Drilling, Ltd (a Seadrill spinoff) just as oil prices fell and trying to swing trade 10 PYPL for 280 because the "analysts" said it would go to 310. Those lessons were worth every penny: Don't drill for oil in the sub-arctic belt and don't buy huge, ubiquitous companies that don't pay a dividend.
Amazing. Its a terrible short candidate. Valued much lower than the general market, still growing, buying back 3% of the company this year. PYPL is in a very fairly valued zone atm. I am looking for a short term exit.
Sir it madam. Buy $PYPL while it's under $100. Wait for Black Friday / Holiday Shopping statistics. Wait for PayPal Ad update. Wait for Q3 2025 Earnings Report. You will be pleased. Paper trade it for fun if you wish. Good luck.
PYPL doing Shrek things again. 
Very well written. Not sure if $PYPL will ever go back to 43 PE but 25 multiples will make me a happy stockholder. Ad business can make it happen.
To be fair PYPL is up 40% YTD. Trending upward.
$PYPL is growing single digits. The market is much more competitive than it was 3 years ago. These days there are Square, Adyen, Stripe, Apple Pay etc. competing for market share. When it was trading it $50-$60, $PYPL was great value. That price was implying no growth at all so the margin of safety was decent. Now we are at $86 and naturally people start to FOMO in as it is the nature of stocks (For funsies you should go back what people were saying when the stock was hovering around $55. A bunch of bagholders from the $250+ times whining about this "trash" stock.) Anyway, I think today the stock is kinda fairly valued with a bunch of optionalities (PYUSD, one-click checkout, ...) that may or may not be priced in yet. Certainly, someone doing a better analysis (not qualitative talk but cashflow projects) would be cool.
oh yeah biggest intraday gain i had on PYPL lol

PYPL to $100+ before Friday. 
Seriously, wtf is PYPL doing? 🌝💹
I’ve been keeping a very close eye on it as a crypto target. MSTR, MARA, RIOT, CLSK and even COIN have drastically ran. But PYPL is due. It’s so due. It’s massively undervalued as well.
Those PYPL $100+ calls look tempting and I don’t know why. Idk what PYPL is doing right now, but I think it’s gonna be the next target for coin heads. A lot of coins are now transferrable on PayPal now, maybe it’s the next big company to go to the andromeda galaxy. 🌌
Why is PYPL going full ogre mode right now??? 
That fat green Shrek cock at the end of PYPL. What was that all about? 
I would run January '25 calls when PYPL drops below the 8-day EMA and starts coming back up. It's too late to play the $90 pocket, but $95 and $100 are still open.
> What made you sell early as I see the stock up from usually flat all the time? Do you anticipate bad earnings for JWN tomorrow? The stock moved a lot, so I secured gains. Playing earnings directionally is dangerous. > What’s ur PYPL position? December '24 expiration, $85 call, looking for the gamma pocket to complete at $90. There are further pockets at $95 and $100, presenting the opportunity to roll into January '25 calls if the strike is reached before the end of the month.
What made you sell early as I see the stocks up from usually flat all the time? Do you anticipate bad earnings for JWN tomorrow? What’s ur PYPL position?
Agree with the competition but they haven't made dent in PYPL cash flow and revenue growth. Will see. I'm still in it.
Those numbers are based on today's stock price. Not to mention PYPL is a cash flow growth engine 14% CAGR in last 5 years. [https://www.alphaspread.com/security/nasdaq/pypl/financials/cash-flow-statement/free-cash-flow](https://www.alphaspread.com/security/nasdaq/pypl/financials/cash-flow-statement/free-cash-flow)
