Cathie Wood Bets BIG on SQ & PYPL Stocks Disrupting Banks

01/31/22 • 17 min

💰 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.

Can META Beat ARK Invest? This Metaverse ETF Changes Everything

The Roundhill Ball META ETF is filled with some of the best stocks to buy now, even if the Metaverse takes many years to get here. It's filled with stocks like NVDA (Nvidia Stock), Meta Platforms (FB stock, soon to be MVRS), Unity Software (U stock), but also companies like Sea Limited (SE stock), Microsoft (MSFT), Square (SQ), and Paypal. Yet, this thematic fund is much different than ARKW, the ARK Invest fund themed around advanced internet applications and actively managed by Cathie Wood. Can the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF really compete with the legendary ARK Invest?
