<<just reliving an epic moment…of shorting an absolute top>> Nice call. Are you still short? <<my thesis this company was so over rated , overvalued hype , with content that was cr@p>> Completely disagree with this assessment. Regardless of what you or I think about the quality of Netflix’s streaming content, the reality is that more than 20 million subscribers pay $7.99 per month for it. And as the number of internet-connected devices increases, the demand for Netflix content should increase. My guess – Netflix ends 2012 with more than 25 million domestic streaming subscribers. Importantly, this is a scale business and very few companies will be willing/able to spend the $1 billion+ per year on content acquisition required to effectively compete with Netflix.
