The CEO just gave his shareholders a gift

I like things that go "boom." Sonic or otherwise, that means I tend to gravitate towards defense and aerospace stocks.

What happened

Shares of videoconferencing star Zoom Video Communications ( NASDAQ:ZM) closed 10% higher after a busy trading day Tuesday.

So what

Why are investors taking this as good news? Well, at the least, it seems the CEO and his wife didn't sell the shares. Judging from recent experience, that would probably have been taken as bad news. Rather, the Journal reports that the transfers were "gifts ... from two trusts for which Mr. Yuan and his wife are co-trustees."

Now what

And that sounds rather innocuous. Perhaps more important than the actual share transfer is what appears to have happened to the shares themselves upon their transfer to owners other than the Yuans.

Perhaps no company benefited more from these social restrictions than Zoom, whose video services have become the preferred tool for video calls.

Now what

There's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economic recovery, which means that Zoom's stock could continue to respond to coronavirus and vaccine-related news. Zoom investors should consider the long-term prospects of the company and try not to react to the daily stream of news.
