10/ Customers Cont'd:
On the contrary, current customers may be seeing a decrease in demand for their products due to COVID-19. This may be prohibiting their subscription expansion with $PD. Playing a role in the lower-than-expected revenue guidance and consolidation of price?

12/ TA:
For what its worth, here was my lame tech. analysis:
When I bought:
- 14-day RSI was 50
- 50-day MA recently crossed the 200-day MA w/ massive volume.
OH, and an entry price of $29.21 was enticing because it's about the price of a round of golf! I can spare a few rds.

13/ I'll be keeping up with $PD and looking to add more in the near future. My current position is very small, only ~2% of my portfolio. $PD seems like an undervalued tech business.
