Hi John,

I know a lot of folks share your views. I think Greenberg has written about NFLX a lot in his column on Marketwatch.

I have not done much homework on NFLX. But from a purely trading perspective, looking at the chart, I would not want to be short right now.

139.142.147.218

I think there's a good chance NFLX will make a run for the upper BB rail ($13.32) soon.

Besides, I like short positions where there is as little short interest as possible. With NFLX, the risk of a short squeeze causing a horrendous drawdown in a short position is just far too great for my liking. Also, big short interest stocks tend to attract mo-mo traders if the float is small enough, because they know if they can walk the stock up and squeeze the shorts enough they can sometimes really get a pop out of the stock.

John,

This story about online movie rental competition heating up around Netflix is very likely why its stock price is experiencing some weakness of late.

I think this news release agrees with your post.
