Zoom was on a tear for 3+ months. At current stock $, its value is 44B+ Is it worth that much, and is it going to stand up to its next challenge - Ring's video conferencing app.
Now Ring based on the rest of it is at 22B, IMHO its going to beat zoom in the race to 100b for sure, and they're both going to get there near the end of pandemic. And neither is going to drop with end of pandemic, the simple fact is, the pandemic has done so much to clean up the environment and traffic and roads …
Zoom/Ring/Google/skype will be cheaper than a parking spot in down town, let alone an office space, it will be greener than a tesla even if we used hydro power to make electricity, it will be cheaper than building more roads and bridges and over passes and traffic lights even if we got politicians out of the way. I don't think I am ever going into an office on a regular basis ever again. I am ring or zoom or blue jeans or whatever anywhere.
Gas is $1.40 in my hood. Was $2 2 weeks ago. Its headed for $1 I'll bet.
I think we'll be watching more Netflix, drinking more and cooking more and networking more. Hours and $$$ spent commuting and parking will be replaced with those.
Cool.
