What ETFs are you guys in long-term? All I've got are the ARKs and VOO.
SMH, VTI, QQQ, QQQJ

TAN, MSOS, ARKK, ARKW, ARKG all went bust but I'm in it for the long haul, only concern I have is ARKG - that's a volatile industry so no telling if their picks are actually dead or just dead now

Looking for clov and ttcf to carry me in the meantime while SOS gets right. Once they get earnings out the stock should start hitting its actual value :patrice:

I don't see why it wouldn't

I guess technically it doesn't even have to still be around as "Square".

It just has to be successful for long enough that another company would eventually like to purchase/merge with it and a long term stock-holder would still benefit from said sale/merger.

They have an enterprise value of about $114 billion. Who's gonna be looking to buy them at this point?

I feel what you're saying.

I mostly meant if in 15 to 20 years their "worth" has dropped, but a more successful company at the time still sees value in them at their core level.

Square is a pioneer of fintech and big enough to be the company that buys challengers. It’s not going anywhere

The reason I was posting this Square question is because I might leave RobinHood for short-term trading, and use something else for long-term investing. Can I purchase Square in my ROTH IRA portfolio?

SPY is 100% over 7 years ago
DJIA up 100% over same time period. Up 13k since last March. Think about that.

Very open and generalized question, but...Do y'all think that the company Square will be around for the next 25 years?
Yerp SQ a leader into the next era. One would assume, sans any massive enron style catastrophe, that Square would be 10-15x in 25 years.
