Cathie Wood Bets BIG on SQ & PYPL Stocks Disrupting Banks

January 31, 2022 • Alex • Season 1 • Episode 41

💰 Cathie Wood is betting big on Square and Paypal disrupting traditional banks. That’s why ARK Invest holds Square stock (SQ) in ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF. But why does ARK Invest only have a small position in Paypal (PYPL stock) and why only in one fund? Are these stocks much more different than investors think? Let’s compare both stocks to legacy banks and then each other to see if either are among the best stocks to buy now.
