Got $1,000? Here Are 3 Stocks to Consider Buying Right Now

With the stock market at all-time highs, investors need to take the long view now more than ever. Shares of Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM), Square (NYSE: SQ), and CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) have certainly had an amazing year, but I believe the opportunity for each of these companies will make even today's prices look cheap years from now. The advantages that have shone through during the pandemic should lead to outperformance long after the coronavirus is in the rearview mirror.

Zoom shares are up almost 500% in 2020. The company has been the biggest beneficiary of the COVID-19 pandemic, with sales growing 355% year over year in the second fiscal quarter (which ended on July 31) and 367% in the third fiscal quarter (which ended on Oct. 31). If you're thinking that this amazing growth was built on virtual wine tastings and grandparents dropping in on birthday parties, the numbers tell a different story. For instance, the number of customers with 10 or more employees is up 485% year over year. These are small businesses that are likely to stick with the service in the future as they grow.
