Excellent post Chris. Netflix owning the current streaming market is a fait accompli- an accomplished fact. The current streaming market in the US is not much greater than the existing Netflix market. It's a done deal. As seen in their previous stumble the market is theirs to lose. The $1 price increase would seem to be a bit tentative but understandable considering the aborted streaming/dvd business division split. Going forward some type of live stream, sports or news, would take them to the next level.

1st. You make a very good point about the "Big crop." Vs. "Little Company" and for the most part I agree with you however, I won't over look the fact that Netflix is increasing their new member prices and if Amazon waits long enough more of the market share could fall off an if Amazon gets off their butt and catches it they can be a competitor but that's long term speaking in the short term it's not happening anytime soon. 2nd I think to make an accurate speculation on a stock you are either talking long term or short term in this case if it is as you say "Big Guy" Vs. "Little Guy" I would definitely take NFLX for the long haul
