This Stock Could Double by the End of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In China, Spain, Italy, and across the world, we've seen how quickly and easily medical systems can be swamped by big surges in novel coronavirus cases.

In most places here in the United States, healthcare systems have borne up pretty well, though at times, they've been under punishing pressure.

Officials have had to scramble to keep up with demand for care. Among other things, we've seen hotels in New York City pressed into service as hospitals and dormitories for healthcare providers. In Baltimore, the downtown convention center has become a hospital and testing center. In Bayou Segnette State Park, south of New Orleans, even recreational cabins were used as makeshift isolation wards.

That's just some of the improvisation that's had to take place across virtually the entire country.

Technological and medial improvisation has been a recurring theme in some of our talks about the national COVID-19 response.

So today, I want to tell you about a company working to ease the need for such drastic measures. It's not working on a breakthrough vaccine or therapy, or on a lifesaving machine – though its work, in my view, is every bit as important to the fight.

Rather, this company is working on a more, shall we say, basic, foundational approach. And it has a "secret weapon" that can not only help us beat the disease, but has applications and growth potential far beyond healthcare.

The "Zoom of Healthcare" May Be the Greatest Company You Haven't Heard Of

Virtually everyone has heard of Zoom Video Communications Inc. – the came-out-of-nowhere winner of the coronavirus pandemic.

With its work-from-anywhere software, Zoom has changed the way we look at our jobs.

And that promises to change the American workplace and the U.S. economy moving forward.

Well, there's also another innovator out there – a tech firm that promises to have a bigger-and-longer-lasting impact on a different sector – the $1.7 trillion U.S. healthcare market.

This company – which I'm referring to as the "Zoom of Healthcare" – could be one of the biggest winners of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But many investors have never even heard of it. So today, our Bill Patalon sat down with tech expert Michael Robinson to talk about just how big this is for investors...

The Best Tech Stock to Buy as Demand for E-Sports Soars

Almost 60 million students who typically attend elementary, middle, and high school are home right now – and might be until September. Add in college students, and that number grows to 80 million.

That's a quarter of the entire U.S. population who previously had somewhere to go all day now doing… nothing.

And there's one obvious spot they'll turn to: gaming.

And while there are dozens of big-name tech stocks in the space, this is the best one to buy today.

Should I Buy Zoom Stock Now?

On Thursday (April 2), legendary short-seller Jim Chanos warned that investors should be wary of "coronavirus stocks" that are temporarily surging due to a large volume of "stay at home" users engaging their services.

Perhaps there is no bigger example than Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM).

Naturally, the explosion in use has many people wondering if they should buy zoom stock now.

The answer has absolutely nothing to do with Jim Chanos, its explosion in demand, or the recent headlines about Zoom bombing and hacking across the country.
