Netflix (NFLX -1.5%) could pass all cable networks and perhaps even a major network this summer in terms of hours watched per month as the streaming service launches Arrested Development just as the traditional network season winds down. The feat is fairly impressive when it's considered that the service is only 28M homes - compared to the +100M penetration of cable networks. Q1 scorecard of viewer hours/month (via BTIG): CBS 3.3B; ABC 2.6B; NBC 2.3B; Fox 1.9B; Disney Channel 1.3B; Netflix 1.2B. [View news story]

A very bullish presentation from Longboard Asset Management helped Tesla (TSLA +7.4%) rally today. Calling Tesla the auto industry version of Apple (others have made that analogy in some form) due to its brand, management, and disruptive impact (among other things), Longboard predicts shares will hit $100 within 18 months and $200 within 5 years. The firm expects Tesla to grab 80% of the global EV market, praises the company's engineering skill, and expects a heavy short interest (44% of the free float is shorted) to help fuel a rally.
