PayPal

I really don't know of a worse stock in my portfolio than $PYPL (+3.57%) . What's going on again, that the thing is down 6%. So this pipe-digger will be thrown out at the end of the year. I don't know how long I've been invested in this boondoggle, but returns are a foreign concept for them.

I am still betting on the announced share buyback program. 15 billion is to be invested here over the next few years, which corresponds to around 20% of all shares

Why don't you throw them away right now?

Because I always do the tax offsetting in Q4.

Apart from the stock, do you use Paypal? Over the years, I've had consistently annoying user experiences with PayPal: Money frozen on returns or FF transfers. Customer service is difficult to reach, and there are still heaps of Paypal scams on sales portals.

Better to realize the losses, there are better stocks.

@Bullnbear I even use PayPal extensively. I even think that with the new checkout there is hardly anything better on the internet. So that's my opinion. And although my user experience is good, the share is a disaster...

When Paypal sleeps at night it dreams of being Revolut or something...

I did it a year ago. At a loss. I do not regret this decision. In my view, this company is not worth investing in.

I can only recommend that you hold the shares. I've been in e-commerce for 20 years and we market several online stores with annual sales of over € 1 million per store.

Our customers pay with Paypal for around 61% of all orders. The dominance of payment providers is unsurpassed. Paypal is the most frequently used payment method - about every 2.5 orders are made with it.

In addition to existing merchant integration, regulatory experience and millions of active users in Europe, PayPal has a clear competitive advantage in the new "stablecoin market"... a strategic lever that will not only open up new revenue streams for the company, but also significantly strengthen the long-term growth potential of PayPal shares.

I'm more of a paysign fan. Not only when I pay online, but the stock is great as well. PayPal sucks.

I have massive problems with the new payment method for offline payments. It simply doesn't work despite having a full bank account and credit on my paypal account. Paypal customer service can't help me either and say it's their own security settings that they can't change. Means I have to be lucky to be allowed to make a payment with my money.

This is so ridiculous and for me it's just a warning of how bad Paypal is because every Apple Pay payment works perfectly no matter which card I use.

I have also switched my payments from card to PayPal. It works perfectly for me.

I have them too and unfortunately I am still at -45%. The share is not much fun. I keep thinking back and forth about whether to sell it or wait. However, you also have to think about the opportunity costs. The remaining money would certainly have been better invested in the MSCI World (or other stocks) even during the (long) waiting period.
