    How Venmo Will Boost PayPal's Growth

    By Money Morning News Team, Money Morning - July 9, 2019

    PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) is having a great run. At the start of this year, PayPal’s stock was trading around $85, and it climbed to $118 per share on June 20. That’s roughly a 35% increase. Over that same period of time, the S&P 500 only gained 4%.

    The stock has stalled recently with the announcement that COO Bill Ready is stepping down at the end of the year.

    Although, Ready will help PayPal transition into new leadership. Plus, with expanding e-commerce, PayPal’s stock should continue to climb.

Today Is Our Last Chance to Capture All of PayPal's Upside

By William Patalon III, Executive Editor, Money Morning - July 8, 2015

paypal stock spin-off

In June 2012, in the Private Briefing report "Two Years From Now, You'll Wish You'd Bought This Stock," resident tech expert Michael Robinson recommended eBay as a profit play that was poised for a nice run.

Michael was right on the money.

eBay shares have zoomed more than 50% since then.

It's time for us to look at this stock anew and pounce on one of the year's biggest opportunities...

How to Profit from Massive Spin-Offs with Just One Play

By Michael A. Robinson, Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI - October 23, 2014

Investing in Silver

I love corporate spin-offs - and you should, too.

With spin-offs, companies unlock hidden values in their operations and pass them on to shareholders - offering low risks and high probabilities of market-beating profits.

And the past month or so has produced a bonanza.

First, eBay Inc. said it is spinning off its very successful PayPal digital payments firm. Then, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced that it plans to divide itself in half.

And most recently, security software maker Symantec Corp. joined in and said it's splitting in two.

Overall, spin-offs are estimated to be worth $1.6 trillion so far this year.

Here's the hitch...

Carl Icahn-eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) Fight Keeps Getting Nastier

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - March 10, 2014

Since January Carl Icahn has been trying to force eBay to spin off its PayPal payment service unit by claiming that the failings of eBay management have shortchanged shareholders. But yesterday Icahn took his war of words to a

whole new level...

Two Years From Now, You'll Wish You Bought eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY)

By William Patalon III, Executive Editor, Money Morning - June 11, 2012

You probably know this longstanding Internet company as an e-commerce pioneer - but most likely view it as one whose high-growth years are in the past.

But tech guru Michael A. Robinson sees this company as the tech sector's top possible turnaround play - a transformation he says that will turn it into a mobile-commerce stock that every investor will want to own.

I'm talking about Internet auctioneer eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY).

Michael is a recent addition to the Money Map Press team - which means I can now access his insights for Private Briefing. He's an author and former journalist (like me) who's built himself into one of the top tech experts and futurists in the field.

That's not hyperbole. His Radical Technology Profits advisory service celebrated its one-month anniversary last week and he just closed out his first trade with a 132.9% gain.

The fact that he notched an options-magnitude profit on a stock ... in only a month ... is impressive enough - but to do so against such a lousy market backdrop makes this a pretty remarkable trade.

I've been spending a lot of time with Michael of late, just chatting to get to know him a bit more and to get some ideas for all of you. Earlier this week, he made a comment that so intrigued me that it became a conversation unto itself.

Let me share some of that conversation so that you can see how this guy thinks.

We were talking about tech-stock profit opportunities when Michael told me: "You know, Bill, I wouldn't count eBay out as a big-cap turnaround play. The company generates enormous amounts of cash ... something like $1.3 billion in free-cash flow (FCF) ... and it has some $3.8 billion in cash on hand with a 19% return on equity."

At the very least, Michael said that eBay shares represent "a more stable, long-term approach to the market."

But there's also an intriguing potential catalyst at work here.

"While most investors would view this as a somewhat unexciting company, the fact is that eBay has strong growth in Europe because of the downturn there.

"Furthermore, it just launched PayPal as a point-of-sale (POS) alternative," Michael told me. "Just a small fraction of the POS market could be worth several hundred million three years from today. eBay is working with VeriFone Systems Inc. (NYSE: PAY) on this, uniting eBay withthe world's largest maker of credit-card terminals."

So what makes eBay a "turnaround" candidate?
