You don't think it would go to like 60 or higher with all that talk on bitcoin-able?LOOSEWHEEL wrote: ↑ Glad I exercised my February expiration SQ 40 calls. Still holding Mar/Jun/Jul 40/42/45 calls.
Once SQ become bitcoinable, it should be able to handle bitcash/ether/ripple/etc. without much more effort.
Dorsey and his guys have been working on this for a while and they could be the first harvesting.

I do think it will go higher....hence why I have a position in it. Not sure why it's somewhat tied to the 'value' of bitcoin et.al. They simply have a method of processing the currency. It's not like the company suffers if the US$ moves one way or another. The value of whatever currency it processes is really irrelevant IMO. Having the ability to process additional currencies just makes it more valuable and therefore more attractive.

From CNBC:
Gary Cohn plans to resign as Trump's top economic advisor: New York Times
Was so close to getting bear etf today but went out for coffee, DOH!!
More details:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/06/gary-co ... times.html
White House chief economic advisor Gary Cohn is out of President Donald Trump's administration.
The former Goldman Sachs president and free trade advocate departs after the president announced he would impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Cohn clashed with Trump's protectionist advisors on the issue. At a meeting with steel and aluminum executives Thursday where Trump announced the move, Cohn argued against it, warning about price increases for steel and aluminum products, according to a person in the room.
Market watchers saw Cohn's potential departure as a bad omen for the White House's economic policy. He helped to shepherd massive tax cuts, the Trump administration's only major legislative achievement, which the president signed into law in December.
Cohn also faced pressure to step down following Trump's defiant response to violence at a white nationalist rally in August. In an FT interview published that month, Cohn said he faced pressure both to leave Trump's White House and to stay in it. He even drafted a resignation letter, according to The New York Times.
The economic advisor told the FT that the White House "must do better" following Trump's widely criticized response to violence at the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The interview may not have helped his case with the president.
The president's chaotic Trump Tower press conference in which Trump appeared to equate torch-bearing white nationalists with the protesters who demonstrated against them also fueled the possibility of Cohn, who is Jewish, resigning. "Not all" the people participating in the rally were bad, the president told reporters three days after a counterprotester was killed in a car ramming, allegedly by a suspected white supremacist.
"Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the K.K.K.," Cohn told the FT. "I believe this administration can and must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning these groups and do everything we can to heal the deep divisions that exist in our communities."
Cohn was Goldman's no. 2 executive when Trump named him as his top economic advisor. Trump offered the former Goldman Sachs president the key economic post on Dec. 9, despite bashing the firm during the 2016 campaign. Cohn also had been seen as a possible chairman of the Federal Reserve.

I know you are down on the banks and as you've mentioned you don't like the volatility of share prices that comes with Trump, but can you explain how what Trump says impacts the business model of large, well entrenched banks?
Buy right, hold tight. Keep calm and go long.
