BUY ON WEAKNESS
It passes the Rule of 40: Revenue growth rate + EBITDA margin. If the sum is greater than 40, the company passes. This means, the company can get away with rapid revenue growth and no profitability, or slower revenue growth and high profitability--two ways to win.
He likes this on price-to-sales, has real earnings and has a crypto kicker, but this has gone from a positive to a negative, at least for now.

BUY
An overlooked reopening play Tey just announced they'll open their own bank--gigantic news which he expects will excite the analysts. He expects a restaurant renaissance because rents are now low; also, people will be dining in rather than taking out. Square bought a lot of Bitcoin at $10,000 (Bitcoin is now around $50K). He's pro-Bitcoin. Smart managers at Square. The Square app makes it easy to buy cryotos.

Was a past pick of his and has since shot up. We're heading to a cashless society. Paypal, Square and Visa are all fine in this space. Yes, this can continue to grow, but some growth is already in the price. SQ isn't crazy expensive, but still high. Buy on pullback. Also, Bitcoin's rally helps Square.
Technology
DON'T BUY
Fintech is an interesting area. A good company, but the price is discounting things far into the future, priced for perfection. So, he's very leery of this, fintech and the wider "innovation" space. He recalls the dotcom bubble 20 years ago--we're not there yet, but there are whiffs of it.
Technology
DON'T BUY
A very attractive sector with secular growth. People are moving away from cash. Visa would be a better choice. There are better opportunities out there since the stock has run up so much.
Technology
DON'T BUY
They have made a very big impression through their cash-app. It gives users the ability to transact smaller amounts. No one wants to touch cash during COVID which has helped them do well. The POS side of the business has not done as well, but the stock has still done well. A great deal of the benefit of the future is already priced in. Many of the fintech stocks are a little over-valued.

It has been hot during Covid. Their peer-to-peer payments app is arguably better than PayPal's. It's up 185% in the last 6 months and is now pricey. If the stock pulls back after it reports in 2 weeks, buy some.
