Which public companies will do well in the near future post-Covid world?


From an investment perspective, I have been investing passively in index funds. But I think the time is ripe for stock selection, or investing in particular companies.

From the top of my head, I'll go for the obvious companies and industries:

- Amazon

- remote work infrastructure: Zoom, Atlassian, Slack

- pharmaceutical companies and biotech: No specific company suggestion here but the ones that will develop effective COVID-19 vaccines or other types of medication will be tremendously successful. The problem here is to guess the ones that'll do so.

I liked the way wallstreetbets graphed flowers.com to deaths.

Unemployment, suicides, increased medical issues, gambling, covid rehab, opioids.

Look at stocks during the last Depression for ideas.
