COMMENT
Believes is very innovative company, and Jack Dorsey is very competent.
Hard to know future of the company. In the right space, yet highly valued.
Higher valuations and competitive marketplaces not congruent for very long.
If there is a market pullback, could be hard on the companies stock.

TOP PICK
Likes it more than PYPL. Ecosystem by offering services to merchants and consumers, and they're closing the loop. Being used as a one-stop shop. This is a perfect example of how fintech is disruptive. With so many features being rolled out, hard to grasp where the total addressable market is. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $296.19)

WEAK BUY
SQ vs. PYPL Since 2018, they've been taking turns at leading. So one is not technically better than the other. For SQ, it's expensive at 135x earnings for a 35% growth rate. Price to sales is 6.2x, also not cheap. PYPL is 10x price to sales, and 48x PE for 20% long-term growth rate. PYPL seems cheaper and is a bit more conservative, safer. SQ has a bit more of a growth rate, but you're paying for that.

BUY
Buy now, pay later trend. Likes the space, as the business model is very strong. SQ bought Afterpay in Australia. He prefers this to AFRM.

TOP PICK
Great fintech company. Great growth prospects. Main disruptor to the banking sector, reinforced by purchase of Afterpay. Potential to become one of the largest financial companies in the world. Start a position around $260, and add at 240 and 220. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $304.39)

DON'T BUY
A great, innovative company. JPMorgan's CEO admits that they got outwitted by the smaller Square. Their cash app is growing like gangbusters. His issue with the stock and others are its extreme valuation. There's so much liquidity in the system that money is taking big risks on good ideas, but trading now at 8-9x revenues. Much of the future success is already built into the current stock price.
