$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ needs to add more advanced camera filters and options, and meeting controls functionality. There’s no annotate function like WebEx, and we all look much more drab (worse video quality and call quality with camera on) than $Zoom Communications (ZM.US)$ and WebEx. It’s a great platform for integration of office, chat and sharepoint, but the features and functionalities of Zoom (both at a large corporate level) for actual video calls and even WebEx are better.

I would do your own research and make sure you develop an investment strategy that suits your needs. For me I have bought into a lot of dividend growth and tech.
My tech holdings are: $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ $EPAM Systems (EPAM.US)$ $Endava (DAVA.US)$ $MercadoLibre (MELI.US)$ $Sea (SE.US)$ $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$
But the catch is I didn’t buy these all recently, like Msft I bought at $190. Dava and epam were more recent, same with meli and se on the recent tech crash. I have decent cashflow tho to deploy money. I can deploy about 4K a month into the market after expenses, not including my dividends from stocks.
My dividend stocks are: $Lockheed Martin (LMT.US)$ $Northrop Grumman (NOC.US)$ $Agree Realty Corp (ADC.US)$ $VICI Properties (VICI.US)$ $Stag Industrial Inc (STAG.US)$ $BRP Inc (DOOO.US)$
Some were bought last year some I averaged into this year. Make sure you do your own due diligence tho bcuz a crash could very well be on the horizon and nothing will be safe if the overall markets plummet. I don’t try to time the market, so I keep some cash on hand and consistently buy. That’s just me tho, some ppl can’t handle looking at heavy losses and have weak hands (used to be me years ago when I first started at 18-19, now 28)

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ We are all going to be fine as soon as JPow and Dr. Science (the artist formerly known as Fauci) can train the virus to eat excess debt and clean up that Fed balance sheet in no time.

$Ford Motor (F.US)$ Why, would Ford Co. or the Ford family merge or buy $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ at $ 50 or $60 billion ??? It makes no financial sense !!!
Why , would Ford or Ford family want to merge or buy Tesla. Ford dose not need Tesla !!!
In fact, in my opinion. Ford should sell or spin off Arrgo. Ford can always buy what it need. Ford has already received cash from V wagon. It would be like a large Co. selling off its large office building & lesioning it back. Giving it immediate capital (not that Ford needs it).

$Disney (DIS.US)$ names Susan E. Arnold, a 14-year veteran of the board, as chairman, effective Dec. 31, succeeding Bob Iger, who has led the board since 2012.
"Having most recently served as independent lead director, Susan is the perfect choice for chairman of the board, and I am confident the company is well-positioned for continued success under her guidance and leadership," Iger said in a statement.
The transition marks the an end to Iger's leadership at the media and entertainment company, where he was CEO for 15 years, overseeing the company's acquisitions of Pixar in 2006, Marvel in 2009, Lucasfilm in 2012, and 21st Century Fox in 2019.
Bob Chapek became Disney's seventh CEO in 2020.

$Grab Holdings (GRAB.US)$ I expected Grab's mobility segment to recover to figures between Q1 and Q2, given that COVID19 cases are stabilizing in SEA. However, this minor recovery isn't enough to justify its current $52bn valuation, where its valuation implies an expectation of 35% CAGR on top of a fully recovered pre-pandemic mobility segment over the five years. On top of that, the removal of the $10 NAV floor post-merger and the high inflationary and high risk of tapering/rate hikes economic environment adds to investors' downside risk. Therefore, we chose the conservative alternative to take profits at this price level and only leave profits on the table to capture potential spike on announcements related to its merger.

$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ Fidelity Investments is launching a Spot Bitcoin ETF in Canada, as the U.S. based firm is not waiting around for the Securities Exchange Commission to approve a decision in the United States.
Fidelity's ETF is called the $FIDELITY ADVANTAGE BITCOIN ETF UNIT SER L CAD (FBTC.CA)$, and it will directly obtain physical Bitcoin. Meaning the fund will buy actual Bitcoin rather than acquire it through a derivative instrument.
Fidelity's move just adds more fuel to the fire as one of America's largest asset managers with over $4T AUM is forced to create a product in Canada to meet their client's demands. At the same time, regulators in its own country still weigh their options on whether or not to approve a Spot Bitcoin ETF.
The new fund will also be actively managed.
Bitcoin price action: -1.4% on Tuesday and +98.1% year-to-date.
Canada is not the only country that has approved a Spot Bitcoin exchange traded fund. Recently Singapore joined the list as it now offers investors exposure to a Spot Bitcoin ETF.

$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ There’s a Long term capital gains tax of 7% for income over $1M starting Jan1, 2022 so he is clearing his plate ahead of time to avoid paying this tax. Expect more executives in WA state to do this in 2021.

$Ford Motor (F.US)$ Valuation on Ford is still cheap, I love the product lineup, and speed in which they are moving in EVs. Plant shut downs due to chip shortages have been very quiet this month and Ford is number one in USA sales for 2 consecutive months for the first time in over 20 years. Will November make it 3 months in a row? I think it will.
I would love to know Ford's restrictions on unloading their Rivian shares so we all need to pray that the EV bubble continues until Ford can unload their shares. I do not think Ford's stock is reflecting the Rivian windfall for Ford.

My question is Will $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ and similar companies have maintenance networks like $Ford Motor (F.US)$ and $General Motors (GM.US)$? Where will owners get repairs?
