How do you mean concern? CCX just does not have an attractive target in Skillsoft. While most people who have worked in a corporation have probably done a Skillsoft course, it's low value courses and was very basic. It's probably been 10 years since I've used the software though, they could have dramatically improved. They also have a strong customer base so are already in the door with many companies. Hard to predict. I think if you are buying that you really have to be in it for the long term, in which case it's hard to know if it's better to just wait till after the merger. CCIV is a different animal and it's either deal and big or no deal and collapse. I rate deal significantly higher myself, but you never know...

Maybe I misread something but what I was looking at seemed to imply there was some sketchiness around taking Skillsoft public with past bankruptcies etc - fingers crossed for something firm from CCIV.

How about Zoom? Has it reach peak during the Covid situation or is it just the beginning?

I think as companies become more and more streamlined with their remote working systems, Zoom will decrease in usage. When systems with a much wider range of uses like Teams, Slack or Google are available I don't see it making sense to retain use of a single purpose one like Zoom. Except when it's small businesses or individuals looking for simple solutions but how often do they have paid accounts.

To add to that, 12 months into COVID they still haven't significantly improved their security, I can't see Zoom retaining/growing users long-term

Hands down Zoom has been the best online video call I've ever used in terms of quality, audio, no lag etc.

But anyone I know who's running Office platform has now rejected Zoom and taken Teams back under their wing. All the schools have firmly divided into either the Google or Microsoft camp. I presume other business will go towards that integration as well.

So I don't see Zoom going anywhere, unless they were bought out by apple.

Zoom is still king I think but I think Teams will chip away at it over time. As someone else mentioned, if an organization has the multi-functional Teams, why keep Zoom too in the long term?

What about cciv ? I'm looking on at it rising every day lately will the lucid merger go ahead is the big question.

Similar to other comments, I don't know where any further growth is going to come from. With Slack, Teams and Google Meet (which our company use) available I don't see why companies would use a another video conferencing system. To me when Covid hit first everyone was jumping on zoom if anything I think they will start to decline.

Personnally, I wouldn't touch zoom with a barge poll investment wise.
113 billion market cap, for what is just a video conferencing platform!

Microsoft teams are just going to crush any growth in zoom's enterprise customers and Google meets/Skype/facebook/instagram (remember Skype

) will for the most part take the average Joe who's working at home but talking to friends.

What zoom do and the way they do it is great but its at most a 25-30 billion market cap to me. Just insanely overvalued. The only thing that might change my opinion on that is if they diversified into another area

It did happen.

Do you think it was the army of redditors sweeping up offers from order books in the millions every day pushing up the market?

RH plus other free brokers sell their order flow, Citadel is main buyer. You think they gonna outsmart Citadel?
HFTs, WSB algos whatever entity you can think of front running your orders. Dark pools. They can see the market moving before it even registers on a ticker.

Big dogs can pull the rug from you at any moment. You not gonna WSB at their own game.

Best thing was to hop on and hop off when you start to get greedy..

I can understand why people are annoyed at the influx disrupting their thread, the obvious thing to happen was for the mods to split it off into a new thread. That didn't happen, rather another thread was started to talk about stock-picks excluding reddit ones. It's not fair to be sniping at people for posting in this thread, the organization of this was rather bad, and that's not anyone's fault.

Good start to the day...

4d pharma finally starting to rise in anticipation of NASDAQ listing.
UWMC up 7% pre-market before their earnings report at end of market today

Both have been in the red for me for a while now!

Q1 is all we have been told so far, I think we are likely to get a date this or next week.

Still have shares in AMC bought at 13.80

It would be nice to recover my losses on these but im new to all this.

I watched some of DFV (the original reddit guy) videos and I have to say I am delighted for him that he has done so well (he has cashed out 13 million). Unlike so many of the YouTube investment folk he seems very genuine and a nice guy.

This is his profile: https://www.youtube.com/c/RoaringKitty

it could go back to 13.80 - but driven by hype only. id work out a exit price ..lookin at premarket its up a little but will be interesting to see has the pump moved on. again looking at some reddit posts some people(if u believe) them have serious exposure to that stock - crazy.

Was probably a bad one to experiment with.

Reddit could jump on it again...wouldn't bet on it. The company also did well on it getting rid of substantial debt. The estimated value stripped of hype is approx $5.50... ballpark.

Based on what I've seen in this thread, I wouldn't count on this place for friendly advice.

There are non crazy investment subs on Reddit, however, like r/stocks or r/investing.
