  On $MELI Most investors see a stock down 30% and think of an opportunity. With MELI, it's more complicated than that. MELI is a buy at the right price, but we think there’s still some downside to go. This is genuinely one of the best businesses in the world. It's Amazon, PayPal, UPS, and Goldman Sachs for 650 million people, most of whom are yet to shop online. E-commerce penetration in Latin America sits at 12%. China is at ~35%. The average American makes 41 online purchases per year. The average Latin American makes just 7. The runway is generational. The fintech flywheel is extraordinary. 83M monthly active users. $19.9B in assets under management. The Mercado Pago credit card is the most used on the platform in Brazil, accounting for 50% of transactions, which occur off-app at supermarkets and gas stations. That is a primary banking relationship for people who have never had one. There are 300 million underbanked people in Latin America. MELI is their first bank. The ad business grew 73% YoY in Q1 2026, 4x the regional industry rate, at near-zero marginal cost, built on 27 years of first-party data no rival can replicate. Q1 2026 revenue was $8.85B, up 49% YoY, the fastest growth rate in almost four years. GMV reached $19B, up 42%. Fintech TPV hit $87.2B, up 50%. On the surface, extraordinary. But look underneath. EPS came in at $8.23, missing consensus forecasts by roughly 7%, the fourth consecutive earnings miss. Operating income fell 20% YoY to $611M, with margins compressing to 6.9%. Net income dropped 15.6% to $417M despite revenue growing 49%. The credit book has grown to $14.6B, up 87% YoY, and no matter what anyone says, growing a loan book this fast is not prudent. Plus, the loans business has lower-quality earnings. The pattern is consistent. Revenue accelerates. Profits disappoint. Management guides for more investment ahead. The 30% drawdown has priced in some of the bad news. Not all of it. Margin recovery remains a 2027 story at the earliest. Great company. The price is still not right. We’ll try and buy once the market capitulates (remember the market sold off Google to 18x earnings last year!).

  @FrankF639800 So currently the main way people are getting money in is through Crypto transfers or PayPal. Some are able to accept money to their banks but as far as I know many of their accounts have been shut down or are inaccessible. Once the organizer of the fundraiser page receives the money, they usually send it to the person in Gaza’s crypto PayPal or bank account, then that person goes to a middleman who they transfer those funds and then get cash usually for a % commission. It is inconvenient for them but unfortunately they have to survive. Hope that makes sense

  November 2024 was the moment most people missed. Perplexity shipped Buy with Pro. Real purchases. Inside a chat. PayPal handling the money. Over 5,000 merchants connected. No fanfare. No headlines. But that was the first time a customer bought a product without ever opening a browser, visiting a store, or clicking an ad. I knew right then the funnel was broken.

  The Assembly (@InTheAssembly) reported 30 minutes ago

  NEW TRADE ALERT: Michael Burry opened a full position in MercadoLibre at $1634. MELI is the Amazon and the PayPal of Latin America combined. 49% revenue growth last quarter. 28 consecutive quarters of 30%+ growth, a record unmatched by any public company in history. Yet the stock is down 36% from its June 2025 high because of short-term margin pressure and competition from Shopee. Translation: the market is punishing MELI for spending aggressively to dominate a 650 million person market. Burry doesn't chase momentum. He buys companies the market has temporarily mispriced. That is exactly what MELI looks like at $1,631. Median analyst price target is $2,500, implying over 50% upside. This is not a quick trade though, it’s a 3 to 5 year compounder. Every time he makes a move, we will break it down here. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the alert, this is VERY important. If you don’t follow us, you might regret it.

  Which lawsuit do you want to know about first? 1. PayPal for public debanking and life destruction? 2. Ebby Halliday for 5 yr monetize defamation in DFW? 3. AUSA Scott Free Gmail Fabrication in DC? 4. Writ of Error in DC from J6? LMK.

  @Dr_Crossroads @KrisPatel99 I know you left PayPal but like for 10 billion more you get a company without debt issues generating 6 bil in fcf buying 15% of the market cap a year. Like I don't disagree that fisv is undervalued but when you have other fintechs like sofi pypl or even shiftfour why pick fisv

  @AskPayPal I lost access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive verification codes and cannot log in. The support pages also require login. I cannot call support right now. Can you help me verify my identity another way or escalate my account recovery?

  @Collette001 @john322226 Create PayPal Open @paga account and connect your PayPal through paga But your first payment you'll have to fill and confirm. If you didn't get it right. That's where you'll have issue.

  AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reported 34 minutes ago

  PayPal is pushing a turnaround plan, but its latest earnings beat didn’t win over investors. Revenue rose 4% to $8.7 billion in Q4 2025, slightly below forecasts, and branded checkout growth slowed to 1%. The miss sent shares down over 20%, and CEO Alex Chriss stepped down effective March 1, with HP’s Enrique Lopez taking over. Management also cut its full-year outlook to flat or low single-digit growth, citing weak demand in travel, crypto, and gaming. - World Business News.

  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

  @eleliayub I had an issue with them about 25 years ago and still can't ever get a PayPal account working. They want to call a number to verify my account I had on file in 2002.

  @a_street_sign @Tony_Baloney69 It was multiple different websites/apps though. Steam, paypal, etsy etc. Superrrrr strange to not even get a single alert from any of them about a login attempt or code request. 2FA isn't something I deal with a whole lot for what I do so maybe I'm just too uneducated on how it all works lol.
