    • bilton: Short interest is over 27% though it is down from over 30%. Still over 80% owned by institutions. Look at vol after announce. Just hopers

    • Josh Krause: Wait for the initial pop. The agreement doesn't come into effect 'til 2016. It's just a headline, the fundamentals are no better now.

    • Josh Krause: Once the details for the Redbox streaming plan are officially announced, the is will be completely forgotten. Shorts away soon enough

    • FortSumter: Why announce a deal that doesn't go into effect for 3-4 years? Doesn't make sense.

    • Josh Krause: Because the headline alone is enough to spook the shorts. NFLX teaming up with DIS? And DIS just bought Lucasarts. Covercovercover

    • realornot: it works for me... They can keep announing things for the next 100 years!

    • Josh Krause: You can read even more and think it will lead to a buyout. The deal isn't even exclusive so AMZN/CSTR could have the same deal in time

    • Josh Krause: It will be hilarious when NFLX announces rentals and digital sales once they lose market share to CSTR/VZ. Fire Hastings.
