@CurryorNothing @tembelvitesi @tlaubers We've been at it before, but nobody is paying for GB here. And they're only just about to get started launching internationally. $FOUR holders on here has to be amongst the whiniest, sensitive bagholders I can recall. They hate the stock the more it goes down.

To $FOUR credit, they've already been buying back lots of stock and recently killed the Up-C structure (which are terrible) https://t.co/0kRHGBybWV https://t.co/BBTKz873dC

The only industries where obvious capital allocation lingo is useful is leasing / banking / insurance. It's much more nebulous in operating businesses that do real things. $AER ceo saying the cheapest commercial jets are on the NYSE under the ticker AER is easy to understand. As math is pencilling out cost of new orders vs buying back stock. $FOUR competes in the real world. Leasing/banking products are fungible. Much harder biz to forecast. Cap allocation is still important, but a lot harder.

$FOUR Wrote about this one recently… seems like an interesting roll-up with a story that’s getting less complex (former Up-C structure) https://t.co/CV5VPUekSL https://t.co/llyNFPKqsD

Not saying I told you so, but I did tell you this shitco was a better shitco than $FISV (ignore my posts about $FOUR, that's just a temporary 'mark to market'/'ya, so that's just your opinion man, it really ties the portfolio together'

Is it correct that Adyen hasn't developed their own A2A payment option? (think I heard on some expert call). And now $FOUR owns Global Blue and soon an A2A biz which is attractive for big ticket purchases/luxury goods?

Someone really going to need to explain how Stripe buying $PYPL is also bullish for $XYZ? Venmo now gets unlimited funding, a direct consumer facing application for the biggest player in payments, and the optionality of their checkout/pos business if they want to scale and invest aggressively their for that (like pushing their stable coin initiative that would be well received by retailers). Would think the correct framework for this deal is it is net negative the entire payment space as a new entrant has new pathways to compete and disrupt ($TOST, $STNE $FOUR etc included)
