Zoom's stock has been on a ride since the pandemic

Entering March of 2020, $ZM was trading at $113 and would rise to $270 by August of 2020 and $560 during that October.

Fast forward to now, Zoom's share price is down 31% over the last year and trading under $270
$ZM was once trading at a steep valuation, but now that its price has cooled off, Zoom makes for an intriguing opportunity to invest in a state-of-the-art company with pessimism being priced in by Mr. Market

Zoom's core thesis remains intact

Zoom is on pace to become the default communication platform for enterprises and workplace collaboration

Zoom's founder and CEO Eric Yuan is a former WebEx and was influential in writing developing the platform, but would go on to start Zoom
Yuan didn't see "a happy customer" towards the end of his time at WebEx which led him to start Zoom

Yuan, a visionary, left the company to build a revolutionary product in Zoom. Zoom's turned into the flag bearer of unified communication platforms
$ZM Growth Drivers:
1. Zoom Phone
2. Zoom Rooms and HaaS* Business
3. The OnZoom Marketplace
4. Zoom Apps
5. AR and VR collaboration tools

Facebook Horizons Workrooms is an intriguing collaboration 👀 $FB $META
Zoom's valuation is now attractive

Based on our L.A. Stevens Valuation Model, $ZM is expected to generate 19% annual returns over the next 10 years

It’s feeling like a day to have a day!

@Marqeta can’t wait to see what you have to say today! $MQ Image
Key points from today:

- Marqeta’s a part of the 4 party model (The 4.5th Network)
- “Marqeta is the system of record for its customers’ transactions”
- $MQ generates the message at the POS that’s the same across the world
- Marqeta converts that message sends it to its customer
- $MQ allows companies to become the issuer processor
- “Marqeta brought this to the world and today we process a very small amount of payments”
- Typical issuer processors do a lot more and are usually on-premise solutions rather than Marqeta’s platform which is cloud-based

Keith Rabois came up with the idea for $OPEN in 2003, later to be started in 2013

“Peter [Thiel] said to start a company in residential real estate… Well, it’s the largest asset class in the world that’s been completely unaffected by technology”

Opendoor wanted to prove that they could actually price homes

If they couldn't accurately price homes, the business model would fail, hence why Zillow failed. $Z $ZG

83% of homes are more like commodities, so why can’t they be priced like commodities?

They proved this in 2003 and proved that it could operate this business, even during the financial crisis the model in 2008

#BNPL is disrupting the consumer credit ecosystem

In this thread, I'll break down how $afrm is able to offer a payment mechanism that is aligned with consumers and merchants best interests, rather than the predatory nature of banks which depend on fees and friction
The BNPL market could be worth $4 trillion by 2030

56% of US consumers are considering using BNPL solutions this holiday season

There are over 1 billion credit card transactions every day, yet the card networks/ payment processors haven't seen much innovation in the past 30 yrs
The premise behind "The Power of Pay" is that payments are highly accessible and configurable, and these trends are only increasing as payments become digitized

However, the current banking system is not aligned with the best interest of merchants and consumers
