Respects them, but the fintech space is crowded. To him, this will end with margin squeezes. Venmo, for splitting the tab, is a great opportunity. Be careful. It's high priced with not a lot of earnings to support it.

Has yet to make any money. They are a disruptor. We're inching toward an era where there will be pressure on the likes of Visa. But Square has a very high built-in premium assuming success. So he sold Visa, but wouldn't buy Square until things settle down.

Fintech is growing, sure, and Square is a disruptor. Great business model, but its stock price has gotten ahead of itself, trading at 7x revenues--very expensive, with prospects of few or no earnings. There's a lot of good news built into their price.

At 60-70 times earnings, this is not a great investment. He would step away. He likes the company, but now is not the time to buy. Stay away look at Visa or Mastercard.

High beta. He's traded it before. Sideways move during last year, and so is the 200-day moving average. Prefers the larger names in this space like Visa, Mastercard. Square focuses on the small merchants, who are more sensitive to the macro economic environment, especially at this stage of the cycle.

The amount of online payment, and convenience, this is a good play. They will continue to build out their infrastructure and will make for a good longterm hold. Starting to see Square all over the place in the U.S. and probably will start seeing more in Canada.

Owns a partial position and sold a third last because it neared his price target of $82.50 and he could sell more at this level again. It's a great payment stock, a disruptor. You could buy this in the low-$60's on a pullback.

More of a trading stock. Beta of 1.7. Sideways and up and down since beginning of the year. Aging global economy will affect the smaller companies first, so he prefers Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

It is the fastest growing large cap he can find in the states. It is like SHOP-T, targeting the same sort of customers. Square is the point of sale device. If you missed SHOP-T, you can now go for SQ-N. It is trading at 8 times trailing revenues. (Analysts’ price target is $81.19)

In the Fintech side. Organic growth remains strong at 53% y/y. They have this great sort of subscription based revenue with the instant deposit, cash card, etc. They have a price target of $97. A little more expensive with a PEG ratio 2.6. (Analysts’ price target is $82.21)

Price target of $82. PEG ratio of 2.6 isn't cheap, but it enjoys tailwinds to support growth. Their organic revenue growth is 53% year over year. They are a leader.

Bull put spread Took a big hit last year, but the company is still growing with lots of potential. Sell a September $75 put option. You'll get $10.25. It's $75 now. If SQ is below that, then you have to buy it. If SQ collapses, worst-case you put it to somebody else's $60; you pay $4.30 and your out of pocket cost is $5.90/share. Options are expensive on SQ now because it's about to release earnings.
