From: JakeStraw | 4/26/2019 7:59:02 AM | | | | PayPal to invest $500 million in Uber cnbc.com A financial services component is important to Uber as it works to expand into a “superapp” of logistics and transportation services.
Superapps are applications where customers go for a range of services, such as transportation, shopping and payments. Such companies can be much more lucrative than those that offer just one core business or service. |

To: John Hayman who wrote (132) | 6/4/2020 1:08:43 PM | From: Green Receipt | | | yeah it was short lived. My guess is a developer messed up and it took them about 30 - 40 minutes to correct the problem.
The issue is, if one has a big public market and with hacking so rampant, one should test software before going live in production.
What caught my attention was when I went to login, it wasn't what I expected to see. Which made me then go back and examine all sorts of stuff to make sure I wasn't about to lose my user/password to a hacker.
Once I figured out the mistake was just making mexico the default connection page I realized Paypal was the one with the problem. Not a hacker per se or so i thought. |

From: Green Receipt | 8/23/2020 10:11:56 PM | | | | I have no holding in PayPal at the moment.
I was researching it this weekend to consider for a buy and found out about WireCard.
I've never heard of Wirecard but apparently Wirecard is now closed because 2 billion euros are missing? then the article goes on to say that the missing money was never there.
I probably got that wrong. But what I was wondering is why did a news report get issued somewhat recently that talked about PayPal buying (potentially) some of the assets of wirecard?
a little further digging suggests paypal possibly had some deals with wirecard a post and a bunch of posts
apparently the wirecard issue goes further back
whats your current feel on the buy worthiness of paypal and where does wirecard fit into the equation? |

To: Green Receipt who wrote (135) | 8/24/2020 9:13:55 AM | From: John Hayman | | | PayPal is expanding, and I assume they would be looking to get some assets cheap. It's possible, but I don't have any info that I could say for certain.
PayPal is my first investment into financial stocks, over a year ago. . It has been a great investment for me so far.
Not much action on this board. If you get any info about this subject I would be happy to hear what you have found. Good luck. John |
