3 Stocks to Hold for the Next 20 Years
Twenty years ago, it would have been difficult to work from home, as only 4% of Americans had high-speed internet, and Windows-based Wi-Fi wasn't available until 2001. Today, knowledge workers with a Wi-Fi-connected laptop can be productive from just about anywhere. Even employers are starting to realize the benefits of working remotely, such as improved productivity and employee retention.
Whether workplaces will be totally virtual by 2040 or employers will just be more accepting of remote arrangements, this trend is here to stay and these three companies -- Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM), Slack Technologies (NYSE: WORK), and Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) -- stand to benefit.
It was the year 2011, and Cisco Engineering Vice President Eric Yuan was tired of hearing customers complain about Cisco's WebEx video conferencing software. He worked to try to fix the issues, but eventually gave up on his in-house efforts. He left the company to build a superior video conference solution from scratch, and Zoom was born.
