  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  $PYPL: Acquisition hopes dashed; retail investors debate "value trap" vs. "undeserved sell-off." Review of the previous trading session: PYPL plunged 12.7% last Friday, ranking among the worst performers on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Capital that had flowed in based on acquisition rumors during the previous quarter exited en masse; discussions on X shifted from "how much would Stripe pay?" to "what is PayPal actually worth as a standalone business?" (Source: Reuters) Key Event: Stripe and Advent reportedly abandoned plans to acquire PayPal; the prior offer was around $60.50 per share (implying a valuation of ~$53 billion), but negotiations collapsed due to disagreements over pricing, financing, and regulatory issues. Bullish Views: PayPal’s valuation is already significantly lower than that of most payment industry peers; Venmo, Checkout, and its crypto business still hold value for potential spin-offs. The new CEO is driving business restructuring and cost controls, meaning future earnings recovery need not rely solely on acquisitions. The current valuation may still attract interest from other private equity firms or payment companies. Bearish Views: The recent rally was driven primarily by M&A premiums; following the deal's collapse, the stock must be repriced based on fundamentals. PayPal’s branded checkout market share continues to be squeezed by competitors like Apple Pay and Shop Pay. Without a rebound in revenue growth, the low valuation could persist; one cannot assume a market bottom simply because the stock has fallen sharply. Trading Strategy: Avoid trying to catch a rebound immediately after the initial sharp drop; first, observe whether the price stabilizes in the $52–$54 range. A recovery above $57–$58 is required to confirm that panic selling has been absorbed; until then, it is better to watch from the sidelines rather than taking a heavy position in hopes of another buyer emerging.

  @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  @Realnaz_ @JKeagz enterprise pivot to v3 and epaa membership alongside mastercard and paypal happened 24 days ago. that is real partnership traction and a product direction change toward bigger customers. but price is down 25% over 7 days and 19% over 30 days on 15m mcap. developments are not translating to buying pressure yet.

  @stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  NOTHING HAPPENED AT PAYPAL $PYPL ON FRIDAY. THE STOCK STILL FELL 12.7%: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.71% from Thursday's $61.47 close. Short answer: a group that wanted to buy PayPal said never mind, and the price everyone had been paying walked out with them. Picture a trading card at recess. A kid offers you a big stack for yours. You say no, not enough. Now the whole table talks about your card as if it is worth that stack, and a few say even more, figuring the offer will get bigger. Then the kid shrugs and goes to lunch. Same card. Same picture on it. The number people say out loud goes back down. That is Friday, exactly. In mid-July two privately held companies - Stripe, which handles payments for online businesses, and Advent International, an investment firm that buys whole companies - offered $60.50 a share for all of PayPal, about $53B. The board said too low. Talks ran into August over a bigger number. Friday, Bloomberg reported the two had quit. Watch the price in between. On July 14, before anyone knew, the shares closed at $47.37. Thursday they closed at $61.47 - 97 cents ABOVE the $60.50 actually on the table. People were paying more than the buyers had offered, betting the offer would rise. Friday that bet came off, on 36.3M shares against about 12.1M on an ordinary day, roughly three times normal. Here is how big $7.81 is. PayPal expects to earn about $5.38 a share this year, once some one-off items are stripped out. The price fell by more than a full year of expected profit in one day, over a decision nobody at PayPal made. The business did not budge. Its July 28 report, for the three months ended June 30: net revenue - the money coming in the door - $8.68B, +5%; payments crossing its systems $486.4B, +10%; free cash flow, the cash left after running the business and buying its equipment, $1.78B. It bought back $6.0B of its own stock over the past year and pays $0.14 a share, next landing September 25. The Quality-Value Len5 is watching this one, eleventh on that list. That Len5 wants a strong business you are not overpaying for. Strong is the easy half: 439 million accounts and a payments network nobody rebuilds overnight. Friday made the other half cheaper, at roughly 10 times what PayPal says it will earn this year. What would firm it up is profit growing again - transaction profit, what PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it, rose 1% last quarter while the payments themselves rose 10%. That gap is the real argument, and no buyer was ever going to settle it. For a curious grown-up, that 1% is the line to follow at the next report, not the deal headlines. Friday took nothing away from PayPal. It took away somebody else's willingness to pay for it. Not investment advice.

  In our portfolio, PayPal fell 12.7% on Friday to $53.66 after Advent and Stripe walked away. The board had rejected their $60.50 a share as too low. The shares are now 11.3% below the offer it turned down. Generac fell 6.8%.
