Alright, I might come to regret dropping this, but I think $SHOP is a screaming short going into earnings. $FB says on their call that IDFA hit ecom the hardest. Shopify merchants rely heavily on Facebook for lead gens. Shopify is only down 3% since facebook reported.

The fact that $V puts up 60% operating margins on $20 billion+ in revenue is still mind blowing. As is the fact that they require almost no growth capex and maintain an incredible moat. Quality isn’t everything in investing, but it’s often hard to imagine a better business.
