Its .27 dollar per share. If pypl goes to 75, every cent the stock goes up, your call goes up 1 dollar roughly. So in order to break even at expiration, PYPL needs to be at 75.27 ... does it makes sense?

What you can do is sell a few shares that would make u "Realize Loss" of 3k on a yearly basis. You will be able to write this off in taxes for a max of 3k yearly. Admittedly there are not too many options for this as u may not be able to re-coup any of this. Learn from this mistake, take what is left and rebuild your life. If you wish for financial advise to get you back on track I have tips you can use.

I myself am just holding BABA and PYPL for huge losses as well but am holding them for long term.

Since then I have started diversifying new money into Verzion, Coca-Cola, Microsft, VUG for dividends.

The market is pricing it in. Look at NVDA. The stock defies all logic.

Also, your All in Pod fueled Market Apocalypse might not happen.

A lot of things are factored into a stock price. Their current revenue, their future revenue, their future PE, investors like you asking these questions, the macro environment, your microenvironment and all else.

REITS are down. Stocks in general are down, Banks are imploding, and several companies are already dying off.

For example, $CVNA. Dogshit tech company. Dogshit service. You could say that they're suffering ecause of interest rates. But there's also a component of the market saying - maybe they're technology lead is worthless. One could be the same argument for Open-door. Maybe even $PYPL. Here's what's different though - all these companies have customers and they generate revenue and have customers. So they have some inherent value if they can protect their customers and catch up on the (insert next big thing here) game.

Business is about people too. And AI, while insanely useful is not going to make generational brand recognition die out.

Also, I have a feeling that OpenAI is going to start charging a lot more for ChatGPT access.

$70 share is the same price it was in 2017. The company hasn't shown earnings growth in 6 years? Pypl is a $100+ stock that has been ridiculously beat down and will recover in the next 2-3 years after the inflation/recession story is over.

You’re saying PYPL has not innovated, but that doesn’t mean it will fail. Unless you are saying it’s fundamentals are falling due to a noticeable failure on the company’s part and not due to the current stock market volatility? If so, you could start with those points as to why one should stay away from PYPL for a long term investment.

Ya and there’s good examples of behemoths achieving what you are saying, such as apple and msft.

But there’s bad ones who have squandered and regressed, like an IBM, intel or boeing, GE, etc. dumping a ton of a retirement nest egg into pypl would be a disaster imo.

OP made the error of comparing V/MA as if they are in the same sector as SQ/PYPL. They arent in the same part of the Transaction Cycle. Dont think this thread if meant to be a basic DD on credit card processing. But will just say V/MA, JPM/BAC/WFC, and SQ/PYPL are all in different parts of the cycle. Bringing up V/MA is like saying dont buy V/MA buy JPM instead when they not the same at all.

No offense, but pypl is far from a speculative company. They have been free cash flow positive every year since 2012.

The company was founded in 1998. This company is actually too conservative for a lot of speculators looking to "gamble."

I’m not sure what to make of the recent fraud allegations connected to SQ (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/24/report-alleges-cash-app-fraud.html), but the company isn’t profitable currently anyway so I’m not putting money behind it.

PYPL is profitable and the balance sheet & cash flow look fine, so if I had to choose between the two I would invest there.

But all things considered I would still look at Visa or Mastercard and might focus there if I wanted to get into the payment processing space. I guess the decision depends on your goals; V & MA are obviously well-established blue chip stocks, while PYPL and especially SQ appear more risky (and potentially more rewarding).

While it is true that VOO, AAPL, MSFT, and GOOG are all strong and established companies in their respective industries, dismissing PYPL and SQ as risky investments solely because they are in the FinTech space may not be entirely accurate. Both PYPL and SQ have demonstrated significant growth and have strong potential for future growth in the rapidly evolving digital payment industry.

Investing in established companies such as AAPL, MSFT, and GOOG may be a safer option, but it does not guarantee higher returns.

Don’t gamble on either of them. I would rather pick VOO. If you want to gamble on stock, pick something a little safer like AAPL/MSFT/GOOG. Sure they aren’t in the FinTech space, but they’re hell lot more worth investing in than PYPL/SQ lol.

In some cases - wash it. This carries some risk as the price may go up, but if you can sell, wait 30 days, and re-buy, you're in the same boat you were in, but now you have a yummy capital loss in your pocket come tax time.

Obviously risky, but I did it with PYPL in Feb/March, Had bought in around $200 and it was down to $75. I sold it all, waited 30+ days, re bought at $75. In it for the long, and I get the capital loss.

I share your same very strong bullish sentiment in regard to $PYPL. It may never be able to get back to the $300 territory of the crazy 2021 hype, but I realistically like to give it a target price in the $200 range within a few years…

I’m probably oversimplifying but hasn’t their sales growth rate been shrinking pretty dramatically, bringing their P/E down with it?

Also PYPL’s P/E is showing as 35 in TD Ameritrade, compared to say 31 for Visa. (How does adjusted P/E work?) Both established and profitable companies but with pretty saturated markets, not some huge potential market share to further grow into. And still at high multiples compared to most actual value stocks.

I do like them doing share buybacks now, and I think they have a decent moat with just how established they are, but not sure it’s really a screaming value as much as appropriately priced for a good but slowing company.

First of all Netflix isn’t down 70% 😂. It’s not even 50% but what are facts amongst friends, right? 🤡

Second you may have noticed most firms are down, many are down far more than NFLX and PYPL. TSLA is down 50% and was down more than 70%. Should I draw some absurd fallacious conclusions about TSLA? PYPL is down because it should be going into an economic slowdown.

The outrage over PYPL’s “charging for misinformation” was late last year I believe and PYPL peaked at 86 AFTER the antiwoke crowd boycotted it LMAO.

Meta is another example. It was hated and boycotted and it’s bounced back.

For the record the left’s boycotting firm’s seems just as ineffective to me - I’m not making a political point, rather a financial one.

My main strategy is to wait for a fundamentally strong company to suffer a devastating crash. Then, while IV is extremely high, and much higher than historical volatility, establish a ladder structure of Short Put Spread plays on it, not all on the same day. This means to start with a single Short Put Spread using very OTM striking prices. Then, wait to see whether the underlying will drop meaningfully further. (That could take days to weeks.) During each meaningful drop, add a Short Put Spread with a lower set of striking prices and a higher quantity. Proceed slowly, since the underlying is highly likely to surprise you and move far lower than you expect.

Pay attention to when the next CPI, employment situation, FOMC interest rate announcement, and earnings will be released. The third is followed half an hour later by The JPow's press conference. Try to take advantage of any further stress put on the underlying as the result of these macroeconomic events by continuing to build the ladder structure. As you do so, use different expiration dates. Also, be mindful not to use too large of an overall size on the same underlying, because this creates concentration risk in market conditions where you should seek to distribute risk across many different underlyings that are as uncorrelated as possible, and across time.

Despite this type of structure, you can still lose individual plays within it, or every single one. There are no guarantees, and nothing can protect you from a Black Swan event, or any other event that creates systemic risk. This is the tradeoff that you need to be willing to accept if you use a Short Put Spread trade structure rather than trying to swing trade shares, where time would be on your side if you pick a fundamentally strong and not extremely overvalued stock.

The keys to succeeding with this type of design are to build in a massive margin of safety, avoid concentration risk, and exit immediately if any of the positions within the superstructure ever go into the red by 33%. You should calculate exactly what that would be. This will help to prevent you from using too large of a position size, either individually or in the entirety of the superstructure.

What type of underlying is conducive to this type of design? I've used MDT, PYPL, SCHW, UNH, VZ, and ZION. Be careful about highly volatile underlyings, usually unprofitable and greatly overvalued companies with a beta value much greater than one. Use expiration dates between three and ten weeks out. Plan to hold to expiration unless you make a very quick gain, say 50% of the theoretical maximum, in a fraction of the total expected duration. Evaluate every trade based on implied CAGR.

It's also important to be aware of two other things. First, you need to be patient to enter. Wait for the right opportunity, after there's a devastating crash. Don't try to trade out of boredom. There needs to be a clear, non-bankruptcy-threatening trigger, a trigger that scares everyone and induces a crash, but can be recovered from. Second, you need to be aware of the market conditions and what to roughly expect in the future, based on the stock market's history.

What does this mean? It means that when the Fed raises interest rates this rapidly and for this long, a cascade of events are expected to happen. First, housing, e.g. new housing starts or mortgage loan originations, will decline. Second, new orders will decline. Third, corporate earnings will crash. Finally, unemployment will rise. Based on how the stock market has behaved historically, we would expect it to bottom during the (North American) summer in 2024. Note that historically, the market has put in a bottom after the Fed has stopped raising interest rates in a rate hiking cycle.

How does this help you with a trade, such as I've described? It's one more thing to consider, because it tells you that the overall market will drop, even though the timing is difficult to pin down. It's a protracted process. This should make you cautious about becoming aggressive, and emphasize the need to truly build in a substantial margin of safety into every single play within the superstructure. Many of these will be challenged. Prepare for that.

If, after all of this, you create a bunch of superstructures like this, win most, and lose one, or part of one, during the course of a year, you might only break even. If so, you'll probably be doing much better than most people. This is because market conditions in the phase of the business cycle that we're in are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility (that's especially violent near the bottom, which you only know afterward) and sudden relief rallies with powerful, but short-lived relief rallies that kill explicitly bearish bets.

No matter what you do in market conditions like these, it will be very difficult to tilt the odds in your favor, which is why it's important to wait very patiently for the highest probability setups and, even then, use a small position size and expect to occasionally get burned. Without orderly trends, such as we see in a bull market, it's very difficult for any trading method to work consistently.

There are other, more complicated types of strategies, such as the calendar spread, that you can try, but these require careful data collection and statistical analysis. They can work pretty reliably, but identifying the right parameters to use takes a lot of work. It's not something that can be determined through a process of intuition.

I remember a video on YouTube where someone from TastyTrade casually mentioned a conversation that he had had with a Wall Street trader who was at the end of his career and looking back on it. That fellow said that in all of his decades trading, the only time that he had ever managed to make any money was during bull markets. This was a profound statement, because it expresses what we all know from experience: market conditions like this delete money, no matter what you do. In these conditions, it's not about making money, but preserving it, and the truth is that most people would be far better off by not trying to trade at all for the next year.

I'll leave you with one final thought. Most people, when asked for a strategy, will either attack you ("Why should a successful trader share his strategy with the public?") or go silent. We all read posts where someone shows how much they've made or lost on a daily basis over the course of a calendar month, or other posts that claim that "I made $10k in January!" The implication is supposed to be that they have a secret, or personal talent, that's denied the rest of us. No. There are no secret strategies. Most talent takes the form of exiting any trade going against you very quickly, to minimize a loss. It's really about fundamental analysis (to show you how vulnerable a company might be to a decline in its share price when put under pressure) and descriptive statistics to try to reveal exploitable patterns, coupled with aggressive risk management, and an understanding of macroeconomics. Is this enough? No. Institutions lose loads of money, too.

The moral of the story is to be suspicious of others' claims, insist on seeing a year of data—not one month—and know when to hold 'em (in a bull market) and when to fold 'em. Many people will be fooled and trapped by relief rallies. I hope that you won't be one of them. The fact that so many people are so angry and vicious here bespeaks the very obvious fact that pretty much everyone is losing money, as the number of trades grows large, and that's exactly what we would expect in market conditions like this.

I wish you the best.

I think the bearish side is saying that stuff because it wasnt that long ago you had stocks like cyber security stocks such as CRWD, S, NET or fintech stocks like SOFI, PYPL, SQ, UPST, and other high fliers crash 30-70%. So they think NVDA will crash again.

With all except WAL I am using a 10-20% uptrend strategy. I got in near 52 week lows and wait for a bounce up to exit.

WAL I admit I screwed up my entry point and now am waiting for an uptrend before exiting. Haven't lost anything on it, but haven't gained either.

So what happens if the regional banks stock charts turn into what happened to SOFI, PYPL, and SQ in 2022? Is it one of those situations you hope for a rally to swing trade and dump their shares. Or are people really buying stuff like FRC, WAL, etc as long term holds?

With myself i'm looking at V, MA, and AXP as long term holds over the regional banks.

To get an indication. If pypl were to drop to $70, he can squeeze about $700-$800 per 100 shares. Um, if he held it all $200, he would make way more on the PCW vs. the covered call.

Most advanced traders just own stocks and use this on apple or tesla(works really good) . There's a balance covered calls are good to, or being greedy by adding a short strangle.

I won't really go into this as there's a lot of Theo price , intrinsic, more work to implement. It's too bad most don't own shares here!

I am actually reserving other fund to buy something else when the market crash that’s why I am holding onto cash. Yeah I basically learned the hard way and yes I agree with you. Sometime it’s better to take L and reallocate the fund. If I didn’t have some extra cash then I would’ve definitely sell Pypl for L. Luckily I have some extra so it’s not a big of deal assuming if this shit doesn’t go down any further.

I got to the point of realizing I’m not making anything by holding the stock …so it’s best for capital appreciation to sell for a loss to offset other options gains and reallocate those funds to make more $$. It’s been great to have a lot of cash in my account and I’ve been more bold with CSPs ….done really well this year. If you’d sold 100 shares, you could’ve bought 200 shares of SCHW when it dipped and been up a lot. I did buy and sold puts on SCHW and TEAM just made a lot of $$ on those puts.

I made a note in my trading journal to not hold onto bags for so long. Better to sell and reallocate. Painful at first but better in the long run. Not all trades will be winners and prepare for black swans. Pypl had a white swan period and I should have gotten out faster.

I’ve done several short strangles so know what those are.

You have a good opportunity to DCA, and get extra premuim. If your account will allow you, you can sell a call at 85 and sell a put at 65. It will be a short strangle and will bring more premium in.

You are protected if pypl goes above 85, and I would put an alert on the stock at $69 strike as it broken your support.

Write adding another 100 shares, or time to roll since pypl broke support for 30 dte on your alert.

Keep the compounding going by being consistent! later on your journey, you may want to learn PCW and other ways to protect your business so you're not losing in the capital gains department.

It's been a wild ride, but I'm glad I persevered. This took hundreds of trades starting late October 2022. Sorry mods, but I'm not posting my 1099 or hundreds of pictures for each trade. Hopefully a sampling of the trades is enough.

Pretty much all luck (timing). Most of the gains were when everything was going up between November 2022 and January 2023. There was a cash infusion of $100k in October, so the gains were really 70% or thereabouts (I didn’t claw back from $1k to $71k). More like $100k to $170k. It really takes money to make money. The $100k was withdrawn a couple weeks ago to go towards a home, so today’s +$9k was a legitimate 14% gain.

Biggest windfalls were:

$24k on $OUST, traded in Nov ‘22 and March ‘23.

$17k on $LAZR, bought 35k shares under $4 in Jan ’23, sold the next day. Missed out on up to $217k of gains if I held on longer and sold at the March peak.

$9k on $BARK, somehow, traded in Nov ’22.

$6k on $PYPL, traded Dec ’22 to Jan ’23.

$4.5k on $TEAM, traded in Dec ’22.

$3k on $FSR, traded in Nov ’22.

The other $7k-ish came from hundreds of tiny scalp trades on the Qs ($100 option scalps), SPY, ETFs, ARKK stocks, & large caps. Some losses along the way to cancel out some gains.

I almost slipped up at the beginning of March, I had accumulated 4k shares and 50 call options for $SQQQ purchased on March 3rd around $37. The intention was to scalp an unholy market pump. The market kept pumping, so I averaged down and I didn’t close out the position that day because I didn’t want to accept a $2k loss fighting the pump. That weekend I was kicking myself because I knew come Monday I’d probably be down $3k-$5k more. I watched in disbelief as those positions lost $12k in 3 hours on March 6th and when the market finally started selling off, I got close to breaking even, and chickened out of the positions. Then banks started collapsing later that week and I missed out on $30k of gains. Makes money seem so fickle, doesn’t it? At least I preserved the capital for another day.

Anyways, have a great day. I'm off to celebrate this weird feeling of having a green "All" page on Robinhood.

I'm down 50% on pypl. Is there a stock I can trade for pypl that has the same level of safety AND massive upside potential? Like tsla when it was at 100?

Dan might just capitalize on this perfect storm. Banks in trouble and one of his big competitors (SQ) in big trouble. Yolo on PYPL or what?

$SQ reports earnings after the bell. Total job openings are down -50% YoY, following others in the fintech space like $PYPL (-63% YoY) and Stripe (-86% YoY). Adyen is the one of the few bucking the trend with total job openings down just -13% YoY. https://t.co/dn7BW8Pq9r
