I’ve been pounding my fists on the table for over 18 months now…and I think CRWD is just hitting their stride!   Largest holding after todays 15% surge by far…and planning to hold it all!
Cheers!

DOCU – accelerating growth.   Added to position today during normal hours and I am adding after hours.   It is my 3rd largest holding after CRWD and NET at around 14% of the portfolio.   Up 7% AH.   CRWD and DOCU are far more than making up for ZM disappointment.   Call in 30 minutes and will post earnings shortly.

Earnings Call additional Highlights:CEO: We have a clear path to $5-10B Revenue based on current trajectory and offerings
Will be awhile before Non-signature part of the business will have a meaningful impact for a business like ours that has surpassed $1b and is approaching $2b
Highest rate of billings growth in history!!
Huge TAM, big accelerant with Covid, have built a massive growth in sales capacity“We anticipate that our growth will be much higher after Covid than pre-covid, but probably NOT as high as during covid.” – paraphrased from CEO Lot of growth will be seen through sales partnering they’ve been doing.

NET, NET…nothing not to like here!  Very solid company, solid fundamentals, great earnings and strong balance sheet…I am continuing to add to this company as a core position and it is my 3rd largest holding now.   This one will continue to execute and grow for quite a few years to come…with or without Covid.

User comment: 
That makes sense. It’s hard to see, other than general market buoyancy, what will take zoom above current levels given Monday’s reaction to their results
