If I was 40-years younger I’d consider buying lots of airline stocks like my aunt & uncle did during the 1930’s... By the time they retired in the 1950’s they were zillionaires and lived their lives off of their dividends until they died in the 1980’s when they were in their 90’s...

How can they make money? Sounds like a good short ]

[However, Zoom’s product development team is based “largely” in China, and it operates research and development centers in that country, according to the company’s most recent annual report. ]

From my perspective Zoom is a notch above its competitors. But I’m always involved as a participant, not an organizer. Folks tell me that they like the functionality of Microsoft Teams when they organize and run a meeting.
