Netflix Competitors Can Only Play Catch-Up

Simply said-they are playing catch up. Its like the Apple/Microsoft chase. Being a "me too" kind of company never works out, originality will prevail. With Netflix, not only were they trailblazers in this industry but they perfected the model. And as consumer spending decrease, more and more people will turn to NetFlix as a cheap home entertainment alternative. NFLX has growing market share and their sentiment is becoming more bullish (www.predictwallstreet....). I think investors are starting to see NFLX as a good buying opportunity and a company that keeps getting positive press.

Two Growth Stocks for a Dismal Economy

I really believe NetFlix has so much more potential in this economy. Not only is the mail-in rental service is easy and cheap, but now with the introduction of streaming videos (which is free with a regular subscription) they are making home entertainment even more affordable and easy. As families began to tighten their spending more, NetFlix's subscribers are gonna grow. They just need to see another quarter of profitable growth and keep their sentiment high (www.predictwallstreet....) as its been steadily rising in the past week.

Amazon's Kindle Is No iPod

The Kindle will never be an iPod ever. The price of it alone is enough of a deterrent. And to the first comment, I would never read my textbooks on this thing. While textbooks are expensive, I take comfort in knowing that at the end of every quarter I will recover more than half that money back by selling them back. You can't do that with an electronic book. Not to mention there is something about having the physical book that I could never give up. Sentiment was actually extremely bearish at the beginning of this week, quickly ticked up and is now back on it's way down (www.predictwallstreet....). The Kindle alone is not enough to help AMZN from diminishing consumer spending.

Five Industries That Can Thrive in a Recession

NFLX is great. Home entertainment, especially movies, have so much potential in our economic situation. Netflix figured out how to capitalize on this better than a long standing pro (BBI) in movie rentals. I think we may see their market share grow and definitely their customer base. The price may be down today, but sentiment is becoming extremely bullish (www.predictwallstreet....) as investors are realizing the potential in this industry and company.

Is Amazon's Kindle Outpacing Early iPod Sales?

I've never even seen a Kindle in real life, who is buying these?

On the Heels of eBay's Slide, What News Will Amazon's Earnings Bring?

Amazon for the win. Consumer spending may be stabilizing, but EBAY already looks like there taking the brunt of this. There the top online retailer, they are doing something right and they just need to continue this into 09. Investors are feeling optimistic about AMZN (www.predictwallstreet....) and I think after estimates come out this will shoot up more.

Running Strong Again: The Four Horsemen of Technology

Well, I still think RIMM is a good buy. They beat earnings estimates, they have a good hold of market share, they continue to release new products (they did in 08, lets hope they do this year) and investors seem optimistic about this company and are becoming extremely bullish (www.predictwallstreet....) on Research in Motion.

Trade Apple Like a Fool

Haha, Apple perma-bulls. It does seem that despite all other indicators the majority of people remain bullish on Apple no matter what. Checking sentiment here (www.predictwallstreet....) though it actually looks that sentiment is extremely bearish even though sentiment for the rest of the market is slightly more optimistic today, although not much.

Why I'm Selling Apple and Google Today - and Holding Amazon

Even if Steve is only one guy, the past has shown he can singlehandedly shake the stock. But I agree-Apple is a company that must go on with or without him so while the stock may temporarily be effected by sick Steve rumors, it has to eventually bounce back in the long run.
