Hype doesn’t matter.Earnings matter.PayPal’s operations have produced like $6B past year. They spent around $0.75B on capex same period. That’s what a compounding machine looks like. The business produces much more cash than it needs ($0.75 in…$6 out).$PayPal(PYPL)$ I think it’s an incredibly efficient business. Easy buy at the right price.**Stock based comp is pretty horrendous - costs them around $1-$2B/year right now.Don’t sell because you think it’s dead. It’s generating tons of cash and the market can only miss that for so long.Hold for a few years and give your brain a rest. If you can’t do that, do yourself a favor and move to ETFs.

I live in Singapore for more than 15 years. i prefer to take normal taxi, instead of grab. Grab is too expensive nowadays and is not competitive at all when compared to normal taxi like Comfort or Transcab. I will always book a taxi when possible. Many of my friends share the same feeling. we don't think the Grab car business is sustainable, if they keep using the same strategy. I miss those old days when there is 50,000 normal taxis and i can easily get one even at very west of Singapore (e.g. NTU, Tuas) by calling taxi booking number. $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ I think this stock may move below 3 again. Cash burn is very high. Also there is rumor of acquiring Goto which could be disastrous. This is just my own opinion though.And I wish there was some

ZIM Integrated: Last Dividend Paid, Now What
SummaryZIM paid the last major dividend of this cycle on April 3 with an ex-dividend date of April 4.The container shipping market remains under massive pressure, with index rates still falling.ZIM stock trades above $17, but the company faces years of losses pressuring the stock due to the lack of dividend payouts ahead.Daniel WrightOn April 3, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services $ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.(ZIM)$ paid a large dividend to shareholders.

Airbnb: I Am Still Not Convinced
SummaryAirbnb investors suffered a hammering in early May due to over-optimism.I had cautioned investors in February that a massive slowdown could be approaching. Perhaps, these investors probably thought management was "sandbagging."Reality is often harsher than it seems, but when reality hits, it's better to accept that ABNB is still priced at a steep premium.Growth investors looking for higher upside have likely left for the AI hype train, leaving Airbnb "diamond hands" to support the stock.courtneykAirbnb, Inc. $Airbnb, Inc.(ABNB)$ stock has struggled for momentum since its initial attempt to bottom out following last month's short report floundered after the market assessed its weak forward guidance in early May.As such, ABNB investors will n

CrowdStrike: Healthy Business Despite Macro Headwinds
SummaryShares of CrowdStrike declined in after-hours trading yesterday, despite the company beating expectations and increasing the full-year guidance.The decline is potentially driven by ARR concerns or the stock simply running ahead of itself into earnings.I believe ARR concerns are unfounded, and that CrowdStrike is well-positioned to deliver strong growth in the following quarters and years.Companies like Snowflake and Cloudflare recently reported underwhelming results, and their share prices are recovering regardless. We could see the same scenario unfold with CrowdStrike, and more so since the results were comparatively stronger.francescoch/iStock via Getty ImagesShares of CrowdStrike $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ took a hit right out o

1929 Stock Market & Today
The story of 1929 - $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2306(NQmain)$ The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that lasted from 1929 to the late 1930s. There were several factors that contributed to the trigger of the Great Depression, but the key trigger is often attributed to the stock market crash of 1929.In the 1920s, there was a period of economic growth and prosperity in the United States, also known as the "Roaring Twenties." During this time, people invested heavily in the stock market, and the prices of stocks rose rapidly. However, in September and October of 1929, the stock market began to decline, and on October 24, 1929, known as "Black Thursday," panic selling began, causing the stock market to crash.The stock market

Alibaba: High Risk-High Reward
I am heavily invested in Faraday $Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.(FFIE)$, but I'm a realist. I give it an 80% chance of being here one year from now, at a share price of $10 to $25. And a 20% chance of being under a dollar or out of business one year from now. I'm going with the odds and taking the gamble, buying more every week, because where else can you get a share of stock in a company with so much promise - and technological know-how - for 35 cents?
