  OK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something. $PYPL $MRNA

  PAYPAL GETS HAMMERED $PYPL is down around 13% after Stripe and Advent International walked away from their $53 BILLION takeover bid. The offer was roughly $60.50 per share, backed by around $50B in bank financing — a deal that could have ranked among the largest leveraged buyouts ever. PayPal reportedly viewed the bid as too low. The market was betting Stripe & Advent would come back with a higher offer. They didn’t. Now the takeover premium is gone — and PayPal is left to prove that its turnaround is worth more than $53B on its own. The market just delivered its verdict. 📉

  THE BUYERS LEFT. PAYPAL $PYPL FELL WITH THE SALE PRICE: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.7% today. Two groups who said they might buy the whole company walked away, and the extra price that bet was carrying disappeared in one day. THE LEMONADE STAND You run a lemonade stand. A bigger lemonade company and a rich grown-up tell everyone they will buy the WHOLE stand. They name a price: $60.50 for each piece. Other kids start paying $61 for a piece, because a sale at $60.50 is already on the table and maybe someone pays more. Then the buyers say never mind. Nobody puts a new offer down. A piece is now worth what kids will pay for the lemonade itself, not for a sale that is not happening. That is today. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED On July 15, Reuters reported that Stripe, a privately held payments company, and Advent International, a firm that buys whole companies, had offered $60.50 a share - about $53B for all of PayPal. The stock went $47.37 to $55.52 that day: +$8.15 / +17.2%, on 91.0M shares. Thursday it closed at $61.47, still a little above the bid. Thursday night Bloomberg reported, citing people it did not name, that Stripe and Advent had dropped the pursuit. PayPal, Stripe, and Advent each declined to comment. The Wall Street Journal had already reported that PayPal's board found $60.50 too low. Friday opened at $53.74, touched $52.62, and settled at $53.66. That is -$7.81 / -12.7% on 36.0M shares against Thursday's 9.2M, about four times that day's volume. The S&P 500, the 500-company average most retirement accounts track, closed at 7,711.76, -19.23 pts / -0.25%. One canceled sale is loud. The average is not. A share is still above the $47.37 it fetched the day before anyone mentioned a bid. The extra for the sale left. The stand did not. WHAT THE STAND ACTUALLY SOLD PayPal runs the checkout button on websites, plus Venmo and Braintree. San Jose. Enrique Lores is chief executive. The last report, July 28, covering the three months ended June 30: - Total payment volume - the dollars that moved through its buttons: $486.4B, +10%. - Sales, money coming in the door: $8.68B, +5%. - Transaction margin dollars - the money it keeps after the cost of moving a payment: $3.9B, +1%. - Profit per share, the profit split across every share in existence: $1.25 on the strict count, -3%; $1.38 with some items set aside, -1%. Volume grew ten times faster than the cash kept. That is the lemonade, and it was true before anyone named $60.50. WHERE IT SITS PayPal is 40th of 48 on the Quality-Value Len5, the style that hunts a durable business at a fair price. The fair-price half is loud at about 10 times the last year of profit - ten dollars of share price for each dollar earned. The durable half is that July 28 gap: 10% more dollars moving, 1% more cash kept. It also bought back $1.5B of its own stock in that quarter, about 33 million shares, which raises every remaining owner's slice. The gap closing would firm the read. Another quarter of volume outrunning the cash-kept line by that much would break it. A 12.7% drop after an unsigned offer dies is the opposite of a breakout on the company's own news. WHAT A CURIOUS GROWN-UP CAN WATCH Whether PayPal, Stripe, or Advent puts the walk-away in their own words - none of the three has - and whether the next quarter's cash-kept line grows any closer to that 10% volume pace. Not investment advice.

  @MinxGenie I usually buy on fleabay wether new or used items. Unlike Amazon they use PayPal and I have never been let down by them even if attempted scams. The only bad thing is EVRi being involved in sending stuff. They have discovered a hole in the universe between Nottingham and here!

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal Same thing happened to us. Double and triple charges for transactions that were processed for subscription renewal through Braintree on Aug 27th. I have been in touch with support. They acknowledged the issue, and responded that the investigation and recovery planning is going.

  @mattlovesjenni i only hate them when they intercept your normal login and try to apply one every goddamn time you try to login. e.g. paypal & microsoft, leave me tf alone, i login with password and that's all I want to do.

  @BigMacAttack41 I used them with my business account for my blog. First in parallel to stripe. stripe works smoothly. with PayPal, I had issues, until it was so annoying that I ditched them.

  @AskPayPal Great! So yet another option gone. You don’t offer *any* support options online. No email, no chat. You refuse to take payments, you add on £35 to my credit card and won’t say why. Even your bot is broken.

This after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh admitted the need for rate hikes if inflation doesn't cool soon. Company new stock in PayPal fell sharply as Stripe and Advent walked away from a $50 billion buyout deal. The chipmaker Marvel Technology was down.

  93% of people chasing passive income in 2026 will make less than $200 total. Not because the opportunities don't exist. Because they're being sold a fantasy instead of a system. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody in this space wants to say out loud: Passive income is not passive at the start. Ever. Every YouTuber, every course seller, every 'laptop lifestyle' account is showing you month 36 of their journey. Not month one. Not the 14-hour days, the failed products, the $0 PayPal dashboards they stared at for six straight months. The 2026 version of this conversation is even more dangerous. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry so much that everyone is flooding the same channels simultaneously. Digital products. Faceless YouTube. Print on demand. Notion templates. The market isn't dead, but it is deafeningly loud. So what actually works right now? The people winning are not finding secret niches. They are building small, boring, systematic operations in overlooked corners of existing platforms. One person I know nets $4,100 a month selling licensed music loops to content creators. Another clears $2,800 monthly licensing Excel templates to small accounting firms. Neither of them went viral. Neither has a personal brand. They solved a specific problem for a specific person and automated the delivery. That is the real definition of passive income. Solve once. Deliver forever. The side hustle culture of 2026 is obsessed with the aesthetic of freedom. The people actually achieving it are obsessed with the mechanics of it. There is a massive difference between those two groups.
