1/ Current landscape: A safely-proven Covid-19 vaccine is not likely until 2021. Vaccinating the world will take more than a year. Some 40% may not get vaccinated. Covid is here to stay, and will likely keep mutating.

Best-performing stocks this year include those with rising sales *per* customer; growing usage-based revenue on top of that; and recurring contracts. Square ($SQ)(in Motley Fool Pro), Twilio ($TWLO)(in Partnership Port), Trade Desk ($TTD)(in Options). Trifecta! :)
