PYPL

Pinball_and_Proust

ROKU, PYPL, SHAK, Z, MTN, IHG. I don't use IHG, MTN, or SHAK every day.

Pinball_and_Proust

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.

PYPL in shambles 

dvdmovie1

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.)

salty0waldo

lol def not PYPL. Visa. Fintech dead dude.

salty0waldo

PYPL is one of the worst sticks I have ever seen. It just goes down.

xampf2

Wasn't PYPL trading at 50 times earnings for years? Easy sell back then.

CrimsonBrit

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.

hiipposaurusrex

Looks like the missed puts on SOFI and PYPL might actually still come in

*Why PYPL why you haveta fuck my calls?*

Fucking PYPL

cbusoh66

PYPL is a dying dinosaur, stagnant growth and rudderless. So much for "shocking the world" Mr. Chriss

LaPulgaAtomica87

PYPL beats but still goes down 

salty0waldo

PYPL trading today like it got split personality or something...I'm green, no I'm red, wait back to green lol

Southern_Daisy

Wtf PYPL turned green

scwt

PYPL “pumped” from -4% to -1.8%

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.* 

filthywaffles

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.

Ready2gambleboomer

*They're gonna fuck my PYPL calls aren't they?* 

Ready2gambleboomer

*I now fear my PYPL calls might suffer the same fate as my NXP calls.* 

Expensive_Agency_902

Short KO and long PYPL for earnings tomorrow. I'm sure i fucked it up. But not so sure . . .

Beneficial-Ferret479

Mine is similar. I have AMD, GOOGL, NVDA and PYPL. Had AMD since the 90s. Cash if stocks get lower.

PYPL

well_acktually

I'm loaded to the teeth on PYPL shares. Loaded 50 calls as well that expire Friday. I'm probably fucked.

cbusoh66

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...

AncientAckman

UPS, PYPL earnings tomorrow morning Dropshippers are ded 

averysmallbeing

PYPL current price is $65, are you high? 

BigDaddyBain

Affirm Holdings (AFRM) is probably the most popular, with PayPal (PYPL) being one of the largest.

Fellow bols and bers, tell me why PYPL isn't a buy here

well_acktually

Shit feels rigged. Been watching OI and volume in PYPL as my largest position and Monday and Tuesday thousands of calls were bought that would imply a 5%-10% swing just this week alone even though earnings is next week. People also bought a few K for that too, implying 10%+ swing as well. Haven't seen this type of volume since I have been watching it.

transient_eternity

All the changes in the market have caused me to look at some of my old watch lists from the covid fueled meme stock craze. Been kinda fun. So many turds people a few years ago thought were amazing buying opportunities and you couldn't go five damn minutes without people talking about them. Guys remember CRSR? BB? FSLY? Yeah they're all penny stocks lmao. PYPL and U also dumpstered from IPO. Simpler times, emphasis on simple.

Southern_Daisy

PYPL 😎

Lazuli9

I should have known i am better suited to index ETFs when i bought in my IRA at the start of February: GOOGL at $203 (now $151) PYPL at $79 (now $61) LUNR at $18.20 (now $7.50) NVDA at $119 (now $101) And my US Avantis Value funds are down 13%, 16%, 18% lol At least my 10 Colgate shares are up 10% 

Left_Jellyfish3816

Forgot to mention PYPL. People believe it’s a value trap, but over long term periods the market will value it properly given its extraordinary stable growth over years now.

Southern_Daisy

How do regards here feel about PYPL

Usykgoat62

I have a long term vision with no plans to sell anything. Buying and holding only. Here’s my portfolio: BB: -28.32% PYPL: -9.63% AMZN: -8.86% PEP: -7.17% LYFT: -4.56% INTC: -3.11% F: -1.77% UBER: +3.55% VZ: +3.98% AXP: +6.14% TKO: +102% Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and critiques!

Xzlk

Is TGT or PYPL the bigger value trap?

BruinBound22

And at least we'd know to buy PYPL

Southern_Daisy

Why is PYPL so low 🤔

FromZeroToLegend

Long APP and PYPL, short quantum easy

MoonrakerRocket

They really throwing the PYPL baby out with the bath water eh?

darling_desire

I love your assumption that I am just investing willy nilly without researching the companies I am investing in. Second, I am not sure if you took a look at my portfolio and the avg buys. Most of the buys were made last year. So when you say all the stocks were bought at overvalued, I am not sure what you mean. Most were overvalued before the recent crash. Some still are. But i haven't bought them at the overvalued prices. Yes, WBA and NIOs business and balance sheet is horrible and these 2 are my mistake betting on the management to turn around their business and were bought at overvalued prices. Those are the smallest parts of my investing. I am a long-term investor. My horizon is at least 10 to 15 years. So I don't think selling GOOG, PYPL, or META is something I agree with. But thanks for your opinion.

Competitive-Meet-511

You're almost 100% in US tech. That is, you have 100% exposure to one country on earth and 0% to 194 others. You are 100% in a massively overvalued market and 0% in companies with competitive valuations. You are 100% in companies that are extremely vulnerable to geopolitical events and recessions and 0% in companies that fare well in that environment. You are 100% in established companies that may well be past their prime and 0% in new opportunities. The other person is right - there's no inherent reason to sell at a loss unless your thesis has changed. It's just that this should never have been your portfolio in the first place unless you have an insane level of confidence in US Tech. Also, it's highly questionable how you can possibly be optimistic about all of these companies or even know much about them - I'm willing to bet anything you don't have a strong understanding of most of them. I would do a few things: 1. Figure out which companies you actually understand and are confident in. 2. Find two BM ETFs: one Europe, one Int'l, and at bare minimum stick 25% (but realistically more) into those even if you're utterly confident that the US will reach new heights in the very near future. 3. Consider selling anything you bought because you saw it on wallstreetbets or on YouTube, which is what a lot of this looks like, or at least thoroughly research the company. 4. It's tempting to keep what's in the red, but it has no bearing on future performance. Hold or don't, but be aware of your own bias and understand that there is zero relationship between a stock being down and future performance. Sometimes they come back, other times they're red for a reason and don't come back, or if they do your money is still better put elsewhere. My PERSONAL sell list, and this is pure opinion because there are arguments either way, would definitely include: GOOG, TSLA, PYPL, META, and SOFI. I would personally consider keeping JPM, NIO, and AMD. Again, this is personal opinion, take it as such. I would also go way more than 25% int'l, but one can make a reasonable argument for anywhere between 25% and 100% non-US, so my previous rec was conservative because if in doubt it's better to stay closer to the status quo.

I’ve been playing overnight puts since last Wednesday, been keeping enough to buy the next 1dte put which I grab right at close, and the profit goes towards buying shares of NVDA, GOOGL, AAPL, and PYPL while they’re on sale. I don’t care if these shares dip another 20%, I’m used to losing 100% on 0dtes so locking in the gains with shares seems like the best course of action for me

GRDT_Benjamin

PYPL

Ignacio_ape

PYPL is seriously undervalued or a value trap. Willing to risk it in the 50s

Signal_Trade

Why PYPL?

568Byourself

I personally wouldn’t. My personal strategy right now is 1dte spy puts, use proceeds to buy the next one, and use the profits to buy these discounted blue chip stocks like NVDA, GOOGL, and PYPL. Going to buy some AAPL next week too. It doesn’t matter if it dips 5-20% more from where it’s at now, I’m just gonna keep DCA with the profit from my SPY puts as long as that strat keeps working. Eventually I’ll look back and be happy I was able to get NVDA in the 90s.

SPDY1284

While I bought PYPL yesterday, this is REALLY early. I don't see a way for Trump to walk this back any time soon... Congress will need to force his hand and that will take weeks to get the support and then act on it.

WetLumpyDough

PYPL, XOM, maybe SNAP, S, LOGI, SMCI if it keeps falling, and some degenerate shares of ETNB to keep scalping

SPDY1284

I bought heavy $PYPL this morning. Already in the green and holding so far while SPY crashes. I think good companies with great valuations are holding up fine...

SPDY1284

A lot of heroes around here yesterday telling you to buy the dip day one... crickets today. NOW we have fear... today is more like a day you could start to DCA or buy some quality names. I bought PYPL today.

moldyjellybean

sold everything end of December, took my gains. Writing was on the wall, offset by garbage like PYPL. Missed some gains up to mid Jan It’s been a joke market forever CVNA run by a guy who was running some of the biggest financial scams 30+ years ago in the savings and loans crisis is some how running an honest company. My friends said they dumped cars to CVNA that had oil leaks, need timing belt changes, needed new tires, brakes, alignment hadn’t had an oil change in year etc. CVNA overpaid them vs car max, any dealer by 33 to 50% gave them a check didn’t look over the car and left in 2 min. SMCI lying about numbers and fraud enough to get removed from the stock market years ago, lying about numbers again, an actual top 5 accounting firm quits on them, they hire an internal investigation and on the deadline to get delisted from the stock market their report says they didn’t fix anything and is still listed. Nikola makes up a non working car, scams investors and gets off free. C3AI a company with no AI with pumping for 2 years. This market is de Lu lu still think it could fall another 50%

samy_samyeer

Hold cash for a while until there is clarity in policies, Than invest in Value companies PYPL, PFE, GOOGL, AMZN, DELL, etc

Xzlk

$XYZ and $PYPL options are so fucking cheap relative to buying the stock. Literally do not buy the stock right now. Just buy calls in the money.

_hiddenscout

PYPL was like TGT to me, where I don't think they are terrible investments. You can do a a lot worse in terms of where you are putting capital to work. I just don't see them beating the market or taking on the risk premium of owning them compared to owning an index.

salty0waldo

Show me a more hated stock than PYPL. You can't lol.

pioneerSXN990IN

$70 PYPL calls?

dvdmovie1

If the deal goes through ($11.45/sh cash I believe + up to $3 in some manner of rights offering that will depend on how much the buyer gets out of selling VillageMD assets), WBA will no longer be public. PYPL is in a lot of people's portfolios on here and still not really seeing the appeal: yes, it's cheap but it's cheap because it's a maturing story (TPV growth down over the last 6 quarters, etc.) If they can manage to reboot the growth story, that's something else but it's fintech: what can you really do that hasn't already been done and if there is something that you can do that hasn't already been done, there's nothing keeping a dozsen other players from doing their own version. Plus, Apple Pay as continual competition. IMO, a bit too much in mag 7/mega cap tech names and could use at least a little bit further diversification. In terms of NIO, I don't particularly like the EV theme but I'm always surprised more people don't talk about BYD, who just announced 5 minute charging. It's one of the very few auto names that have actually done well in recent years. BYD has a foreign ordinary share class (although some brokers charge absurd fees for trading in foreign ordinaries - symbol ends in F) and an ADR in the US.

well_acktually

PYPL is at 69.69 so obviously going all in.

SDirickson

Look at [https://optionstrat.com/build/covered-call/PYPL/PYPLx100,-.PYPL250417C105](https://optionstrat.com/build/covered-call/PYPL/PYPLx100,-.PYPL250417C105) It's difficult to make anything via CCs when the underlying is so far below your basis.

PennyStonkingtonIII

I made good money last summer on my few contracts. I bought NKE and PYPL. I also bought HPE which was a loser but I made around 300% all combined. Mostly I just buy shares though.

NY10

That’s what happened with my PYPL. The garbagest of all… I ain’t doing nothing with it now

dvdmovie1

If something goes down a lot it may be on sale but definitely not necessarily. Take the example of RIVN. It went public at a 100B valuation before it ever sold a car and traded - at least initially - higher than that. It was an absurd valuation at the peak of a bubble, but it raised a lot of money - I don't know where the company would be today if it hadn't. That said, when that stock lost half from the peak it still wasn't cheap/on sale. It should never have been where it was in the first place. The stock is now down 91% and certainly at a more realistic place than it was, but it's still losing money. So, something down say 25% is not necessarily a sale in/of itself. You still have to look at valuation, business/industry fundamentals/outlook, etc. Not only RIVN but there's a lot from 2020/21 that never should have gotten remotely near where it got to and if you bought down 50% thinking it was a sale it wasn't. ROKU, TDOC, ZM, PYPL, etc. PYPL is an example of a growth stock down partly because of a bubble, but also because you have a growth stock that has slowed and matured, so you had the combo of post-bubble + re-rating from growth stock to more of a value. That can change back if they manage to restart their growth story but it hasn't happened so far. A lot of the above are kind of extreme examples around what was a bubble, but in any market you still have to really explore fundamentals before determining that something is actually on sale (or at the very least reasonable enough to start a position.)

Straight_Turnip7056

Not a believer in their storylines. From the list, PYPL, Apollo, TGT and BLDR, I could go for.

MitchCurry

Why PYPL and why not any of the others?

NoMorning5015

I just left PYPL because it had been trading sideways for so long, in the digital payments space I kinda think affirm might be a better buy than klarna? I'm not an IPO guy tho so that may color my thinking.

dirtytwinky69

PYPL is trash.

jusjones314

I thought I could do a similar thing but I always "find" new moves that look worth the risk. Last week it was PYPL puts on Monday for like .56 that went to 3.25 by Wednesday, but then I thought you know what seems like a good idea? TGT ITM calendar strangles. Didn't go as planned due to me being an idiot. And then I thought well if TGT tanked then surely ROSS... Right? No... Not right. Then I saw that ASTS and VOD teamed up to do satellite shit and 10C for Jan 2027 were ONLY .91... It's like TWO YEARS AWAY... Of course VOD will be worth at least 40 by then, right??? So why not??? It's a bargain at this price... And then I was like well SMCI just had earnings and shit... Of course 0DTE puts on Friday will pay... They did... But then I was like well CCL IV is super high right now... A 0DTE put play here seems logical... It was not 😂😂😂 And I don't even have ADHD.

drew-gen-x

Not very well. Peeps were BTD on $WBD and $PYPL .

tulcis9

PYPL short squeeze!

Wallahi-broski

I promised myself that I would be holding 20% cash till the selloff ends, but I just spent it all on ASML, PYPL and BKNG.

vickeecool92

Lol. But seriously you need to buy PYPL before the next earnings call. We are building something that will push our stock upwards even in a falling market and increase the revenue multifold.

Ok_Cry7572

$PYPL hit $69.69 on Friday $TTD hit $69.69 on Friday These names are so beaten up here… Gotta feel it’s time for a 4.20% bounce this week at least…

Schwimmbo

My portfolio of AMD, MU, NVDA, PYPL, SoFi, RKLB and SMCI has been doing great since this earnings season. Went from being up around 20% or so to down 5% in a matter of a few weeks. Perhaps this "diversification" concept may hold some value after all.

Character_Tax_7255

PYPL hits 5.5-month low

lipmanz

V rev growth 10% PE 35 PYPL rev growth 7% PE 15

salty0waldo

lol PYPL, just lol. It goes down no matter what. No matter what. Beat it drops below a market cap of 20 B, no one wants to even touch this let alone own it.

MacnCheeseMan88

Just a simple P/E. Growth is low, buybacks are cool but why do you think it should be valued much higher than it is? I dont care too much what its 'peers' are trading at. If theyre growing much faster or have better margins or are simply wildly overvalued (see your PLTR complaint) thats them. PYPL at 17 PE seems very fair to me.

Cynooo

I should not have bought the PYPL "dip"

Alwaysnthered

PYPL forward PE is around 13 as well.

Uisce-beatha

PYPL, TTD, it would be really awesome if y'all did something in the next couple hours or week for that matter.

Uisce-beatha

Really thought PYPL was going to make a decent move today if we had a V. It's just going in a straight line

Uisce-beatha

Do I want SPY to keep dumping or TTD and PYPL to pump? So conflicted

Alright, one of my "buy options on dip" monitors hit.. PYPL. Time to buy calls.

ComprehensiveKiwi489

Any thoughts on PYPL? They've definitely been underperforming the rest of the stocks in my portfolio.

trickyvinny

I've been burned by PYPL with super high PE, and if you were holding SHOP few years ago you probably got burned too. It's a neat company but it ain't cheap.

Wise-Faithlessness71

NIKE, AMD - about 15% each META, AMZN, KSPI - about 9% each PYPL, FUBO - about 4% each EL - ~2.8% ELF - ~2.5% SOFI, TESLA - 0% I hope I understood your question right. These numbers indicate the weight of each position on my portfolio. I have already shared their returns with you. Are they just for the length of time you actually held them? I didn't get it at all. If so, how much time for each, because it matters, right? Obviously, I held them 1-4 months. How long will I hold them? Until it makes sense to sell them. This is the only exit strategy. It's anywhere 1-20 years. It might be important mention that I won't be all in all outing. Avg in, avg out. I really did not understand the last paragraph with the question, but I hope I answered some of them.

ClandestineGK

You're catching some flack for this but last quarter they crushed it! My only concern is the stock has been basically sideways since then with little support and PYPL was weak. I hope this works out for you.
