There is a reason "the motley fool" service STILL talks about nailing Amazon early on. Its because they haven't duplicated that "success". The greatest investors in history....Joel Greenblat, Warren Buffet, Benjamin Graham. They were all value investors. None of them laid their claim to predicting 10 baggers....probably because no one in history has done it consistently. Find stalwarts that the market is down on for no good reason that pay nice dividends. Buy and hold them until the market goes the other way. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I totally agree. That's why I like and own the most of Paypal of the above. Here is a good analysis on Paypal. He's done a bunch of 'em.

I tend to avoid quacks and people trying to sell you soemthing. I do buy the narrative on paypal though because the fundamentals are so good.

I don't do options and day trade or anything like that. Frankly Paypal is a hedge on Square for me since I can't buy Stripe and can't legally hedge against Square directly.
