    • gdwigan: Good point. They're really positioning for a big fight. How long it lasts is another question. I just can't see NFLX out flanking them.

    • realornot: NFLX is already on its right flank. too busy focusing on fire... Now they need water!

    • gdwigan: margins are slim for both though on streaming.

    • Josh Krause: Streaming profit margin of 8% is high compared to AMZN's other business sectors. Of course NFLX is lying about their 8% streaming margins.

    • realornot: AMZN is playing with fire. Last CTL was pumping fire and neglecting the rest of the business.

    • Josh Krause: They are not counting their R&D and SGA expenses in their Domestic streaming expenses. They are carried elsewhere and would make streaming

    • Josh Krause: unprofitable even at 22 million members if factored into the expenses on a percentage of revenue basis. No marketing for DVD = all SGA for

    • Josh Krause: streaming both domestic and international. R&D for DVD? Doubtful, those would be more heavily weighted to Streaming as well.
