Why Netflix Will Continue To Dominate & Confound Bears

"One of my investment choices over the past decade that proved me wrong in my thesis was shorting Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) in 2001. I just couldn't reconcile myself with the notion that selling a bunch of different products on the Internet could be very lucrative in the long run because what they were selling were products already being sold everywhere by numerous competitors. Sure, most of their competitors were "brick and mortar" stores but my logic..." (continued - Click Here)

What I Would Do with Netflix if I Were Facebook and Just Acquired Them

"People LOVE to watch movies together. When I look back over my decades past, through various life stages, among the common memories I remember with pleasure are the "movie nights" with old friends.

I know I'm not unique in that regard. I suspect there are tens of millions around the country, just like me who have moved far enough away from the old home town to make those get-togethers with old friends implausible.

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has done a masterful job of re-creating..."  (continued - Click Here)

Netflix Positioned for Subscriber Boom with Social Media Integration

"...the most commonly shared items on social media are news columns and blogs.  There are millions of those on the Internet and tens of thousands of sources from which they are offered. Millions of these articles converge through Facebook.  However, with online film distribution there are only a handful of platforms on which to view these films and they all charge money in various manners for valued films. Unlike with news distribution, which struggles to extract a few dollars from readers, most movie watchers have no reservation about paying and are accustomed to doing so. Netflix is the standard for bringing..." (Continued)

The Spread Between Too Public and Barely Public

Somewhere is a line between excessive hyping of a stock and what is appropriate to informing potential investors about the future investment prospects of a company.

Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT), which on Tuesday, Nov. 20 released news of solid revenue growth and blew away the Street's earnings consensus, is an example of a company on the extreme end of the under-hyped spectrum.

The chart below demonstrates how the stock went... (continued) http://beta.fool.com/thurston3/2012/11/26/line-between-barely-public-and-too-public/17065/

Time to Short Sell Your Employer?

We have all heard the stories about employees making fortunes through company stock participation. Tales of millionaires traversing the isles of Home Depot in their orange aprons make participating in company stock an enticing option. It suggests you don't have to make it to the board room to be rewarded for your service. It may be tempting to take advantage of such incentives, but whether it is prudent depends... (continued) 

The Most Bizarre Performance in Vice Presidential History: Ryan Wins

31 minutes into the debate and one thing is clear - Joe Biden’s behavior will appeal to the obnoxious who are already in his corner – but any decent person watching the circus environment of his creation - will recognize the absolutely sophomoric behavior for what it is.

Biden had his first strike against himself when he walked out on the stage with his face pulled so tight you could bounce a quarter off of it.  At first I asked my wife what Barbara Walters was doing on the stage. 

Biden’s non-stop, fake laughter was bizarre and painful to watch.  He is a caricature of a used car salesman.  I say caricature because it really is unfair to compare those hard working people to this buffoon.

EVERY SINGLE TIME that Paul Ryan began to make a cogent point, the shrill shill on the stage posing as a moderator interrupted “gentlemen, we have to move on”.  Biden was enabled in giving uninterrupted filibusters when he was asked a question.  Biden was uninterrupted because he was on the stage with an actual gentleman.  I cannot recall one time that Paul Ryan was allowed to make a single uninterrupted point when directly asked a question by the moderator.  It began to look obvious that there was collusion between her and the Obama administration.  We know that is the Chicago way and we know that the Obama press colludes as we have heard first hand on recorded conversations between poseurs from competing news agencies.

If this were the founding era, I highly doubt that Joe Biden would have ever made it to the station of US Senator.  Biden would have likely been mortally wounded or in prison as a result of the many duals in which he would have no doubt participated given his indefatigable pomposity.  This man would not last a day among gentlemen in an era where assaults against integrity were settled on the field of honor. 

To advise this individual against such juvenile behavior would be to cast a pearl before swine.  It is clear Joe Biden is not -nor has he ever been- a genteel man.  In the end, this was a clear victory for Paul Ryan because he maintained his composure, he was earnest and despite Biden being twice his age – Ryan was clearly the only serious adult on the stage.

Biden certainly fancies himself a thespian and he has NAILED the personality of one fictional movie character from a blockbuster film who immediately came to mind 5 minutes into the circus.  Watch and you will know who Biden was studying in preparation for this debate:
Now please parson me as I feel I must take a shower after subjecting myself to the grotesque performance to which we were all subjected.

Only a "Fringe Kook" WOULD Buy these Olabor Numbers

To the shock of very few, the Labor Department came out with some help for Barack Obama today.  (Not that the numbers are good but the degree of the move is dubious.)  Knowing how adroit Obama and his 3rd world administration are at using federal agencies to usurp power, they probably had these employment numbers planned as their "ace in the hole" long before the Wednesday night debate.   If Obama had performed competently in the debate, I have little doubt the numbers would have been calculated differently.

What fool wouldn't believe that this administration WOULD NOT cook the books to maintain power to finish their mission of destroying this nation?  Seriously.  Hey, what ever happened to that billion dollars of investor money Obama buddy Jon Corzine "misplaced"?  I doubt we'll ever know because the "JUSTICE" DEPARTMENT deemed the question of whether Corzine plundered the missing BILLION as irrelevant and decided not to pursue (former Goldman Sachs partner) Corzine.  No, federal O-agencies like Justice and the Labor Department are impenetrable to partisanship.

• Of course they manufactured the numbers. They lie about everything else. They sell arms to drug cartels. They apologize to terrorists who murder our ambassadors and blame it on our freedoms.


NOT to believe this administration had this data massaged would be akin to being a "kook" who is prone to conspiracy theory. Soviet style tactics are the norm for this cabal, although the kind of allegiance this would-be dictator elicits from the media in this country is enough to make even Vladimir Putin envious.
