PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL-Q)

Horrible experience owning it, and hasn't looked at fundamentals lately. Facing competition from so many angles. Good business, but not great. Valuation kind of attractive, but it's in the "too hard" pile.

Their quarter disappointed. Watch their analysts' meeting and five-year plan. The new CEO is doing a good job.

It reports Tuesday. The new CEO is returning PYPL to solid growth. Once dominant, PYPL sank to the buy-now, pay-later companies, but seems to be returning.

A fine CEO. Buy some shares now, and if it declines before February, buy more.

He likes this company and chart. The 4-year chart shows a base, then break out. One of the best tech charts, because it's not overdone. The company is making strides in getting its business into different venues.

Buying value in technology is often a misstep, but this one came through. Has resurrected growth in a few areas. Venmo has helped. Had a nice move, so he took his $$ off the table.

He called up a five year chart to look at the bigger picture pattern. He likes the cup formation with a trend down and then trending up but not aggressively. The lows and highs are getting higher. It is not overbought. There are enough fundamentals that the stock could do well.

Is executing really well. More upside to come.

A year ago, the stock was very out of favour and losing market share. But they have restructured to impress the market. In recent days has taken some profits. It still has growth constraints.

The new CEO is making big, strategic deals behind the scenes. He expects something with the Near-Field communication chip. Pay with Venmo is a plus. This continues to make 52-week highs that nobody is paying attention to. He's sticking with it.

It was a pioneer in its field but there is lots of competition now - it is not in a propriatory space. Asia has good opportunities for this sector but PayPal is too expensive for Asia.

Owns shares, and expecting further growth. New management team will lead the company into better times. Competition from Apple not a concern, but believes technology is still relevant.
