Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4318088, member: 1414"] My best recent purchase was CIVI. My best purchase of the last year, and the one stock that has held up for me through this downturn is SWCH. Switch is a colocation provider, with some incredibly sophisticated data centers. Equinix is the leader in that space, but Switch is possibly more cutting edge. Equinix is organized as a REIT. Discussed this with others, and it's a longer term view, but if you've watched old TV or Mrs. Maisel, you recall switchboards in the basements of business. Then it became copper wire, now wireless. Our data shows that by 2030 most enterprises want to be out of the business of on premise IT. They want it to be like phone service is now. Some compliance related issues make that impossible for some data/industries. But there is going to be growth in these massive colo facilities. Secondarily, Edge computing will require small distributed data centers spread widely. We are seeing that as well. So, while things are pretty awful at the moment, with no clear relief in sight, the long term fundamentals for exciting change and transformation remain strong. [/QUOTE]
