  I am tired of modern life for another reason. Every product needs a PhD just to be able to use it. It is impossible to turn on the TV at a friend's place. On a Tesla, you don't know how to open the glove compartment or turn on the wipers, or blow the air in your face. Netflix keeps telling me that this device - my TV- is not authorized. I have to go through hoops to get it reinstalled. One time I had to call customer support. Fortunately Netflix still has real human beings who are helpful. There is no way to reach a real person on X. I have wasted several thousand dollars to boost my posts but it just ate my money. The XAI that monitors my posts found something wrong with my post, I don't know what. When I sent a DM to Ad services, it never responds. I have sent the complain a dozen times. The XAI reads not only the posts but also the DMs. When XAI doesn't understand a post, it simply ignores it. There is no way on X to reach a real human being. If XAI is cheating me, it is the cost of living with modern AI technology. The ring in my wife's phone becomes almost inaudible. She sets it up to full volume but it keeps coming back to lowest volume. So, she asked me to find out the problem. I haven't been able to solve the problem. I tried to de-install an App, and it would keep on reinstalling it. On PayPal, I cannot turn off notifications of parcels from USPS. In an Airbnb I could not turn on the A/C. It had so many things in the menu. It would keep going back and forth in the menu but not show me the temperature controls. Even powering on and off did not work. In another Airbnb in New Zealand, I could not use the oven because I could not set the temperature. It kept turning off. In a hotel I could not set the time on the alarm clock. The list is limitless. And I am not a computer illeraterate person. You might think I am a dumb person. I am the inventor of Ethernet switch which is widely used in AI data centers, My company I founded turned an investment of $25 million into $10 billion. I have a dozen patents. If I am having so much problem with modern technology, I can imagine how much problem others might be facing.

  @bubblegum711971 The PayPal algorithm will look for keywords like 'commission' or 'artwork' because they're trying to crack down on people using the app for NSFW commissions So long as you make it look like the payments are all for regular stuff, you should be safe

  @gy_sup @kianamosser Yeah I think so too, personally I haven’t had any issue using a PayPal business account as an individual for earning like $100 here and there. But it seems like a lot of the people getting their accounts shut down are making a lot more and it gets flagged as “suspicious” 😔

  @notanotherquant After the last earnings session it had a gap down of 18% and after this earning, it gapped up 15%. Diificult to predict earnings for Paypal.

  @ScotRail Hi Chloe, thanks for replying quickly. I've came out the app, closed it fully and gone back in and it's now showing Google Pay and PayPal. I realise now it was missing the ticket delivery option too so I think that was the main cause of the problem.

  @pnkplasticfangs honestly that's fair, I think the issue is the fact that paypal generally is harder to use for international users because of that fact, in my experience a lot of ppl internationally just have the convenience of getting money immediately and in high amounts in conversion so+

  @abalu_uthman All these bitten down stocks could pull greatest surprised, including Meta though. I learnt a big lesson from INTEL stock. When US govt put in money, it skyrocketed. Now see what PayPal is doing now with few days. Another stock I focused on now is NIKE. Watch.

  Since the start of this month, PayPal always conveniently glitches when I try to finish an order. I’ll be thinking the payment didn’t go through and click confirm again, only to find out later that I was double and triple charged. Then they’ll take FOREVER to fix it. @AskPayPal

  A ton of companies reported this morning. Let’s get into it: Coca-Cola $KO is up 6% after probably the cleanest beat and raise of the morning. Organic revenue +6%, volumes +5%, margins expanded to 35.6%, and guidance went up across organic growth, EPS and free cash flow. PayPal $PYPL is up 4% after beating on revenue and EPS, with payment volume growing nearly 10%. But it still has a profitability problem. Operating margins contracted 248 bps and active accounts declined slightly. Boeing $BA missed EPS badly but is up 3% because cash flow is finally moving in the right direction. $631M of FCF versus negative $200M last year, deliveries increased to 171, debt declined and backlog reached a record $715B. Then you have the companies where the headline numbers looked good but the details did not. UPS $UPS beat EPS and raised full-year guidance, yet the stock is down 7%. Package volume fell 3.6%, fuel expense jumped 60%, and domestic cost per piece increased 8%. Centene $CNC beat EPS by more than 2x and raised guidance, but is down 11%. The stock had already rallied 45% this year, so a lot of the recovery was clearly priced in. S&P Global $SPGI grew revenue 10%, with Ratings up 14%, but fell 5% as the Mobility spin-off created uncertainty around the new earnings base. Corning $GLW was another strong one. Sales +17%, Optical Communications +32%, and Q3 guidance implies 28% EPS growth. Hubbell also raised guidance as grid modernization and data-center spending continue to drive demand. Investors are rewarding clean guidance upgrades, margin expansion and cash conversion. They are punishing weaker volumes, rising costs and any uncertainty around what the earnings base actually looks like from here.

  CHARTILLECT (@chartillect) reported 26 minutes ago

  Every headline this morning: "PayPal raises full-year guidance." Here's what's underneath it. Payment volume +10%
Net revenue +5%
Transaction margin dollars +1%
Non-GAAP EPS −1%
GAAP EPS −3% Now the part nobody runs. Diluted shares went 977M → 882M — down 9.7%. Apply that to a 1% EPS decline and the actual profit pool fell about 11%. PayPal raised guidance to ~$5.38. EPS is a fraction. They spent $6.0B in twelve months retiring 111 million shares — shrinking the denominator. GAAP guidance still says down. To be fair, two things genuinely improved: transactions per account rose 3% to 60.0 after falling last quarter, and free cash flow doubled to $1.8B. Branded checkout, in their words, "has further stabilized." But volume grew ten times faster than the gross profit it produced. That's the business. $PYPL $V $MA

  Midge Purce’s early goal was the difference, but Gotham FC’s defense was the story. The Bats shut down Bay FC for a 1-0 victory at PayPal Park, extending their unbeaten run to five matches while recording their league-leading 10th clean sheet of the season.

  After PayPal, Elon Musk could have started another internet company. He says it would have been easy. The internet already had plenty of talented founders and plenty of capital. In his view, one more internet company would not make him especially useful. So he moved toward the two problems he thought could have a bigger effect on the world: sustainable energy and space exploration. It is a brutal filter for choosing what to work on. Forget which market looks easiest. Ask where your effort could make a difference that would otherwise be missing.

  PayPal beats. Raises. Executes. Stock still down. That’s not a fundamentals problem… that’s a trust problem. Who’s still buying $PYPL here?
