I've been doing a bit more thinking lately about putting some long-term money into Netflix stocks.
Looking at some of the leading tech companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon: they've got a couple of traits in common. They absolutely dominate their space, the leadership is well liked and respected, and for the most part the public image is phenomenal.
I think Netflix might have the right formula.
Yes their international expansion is a bit meh but I well on its way, and yes they do have a ton of competition.
Would you invest or would you not? Their current valuation is $51 billion. -9.41% in the last year, but up 1097% over the last 5 years.

Netflix had a great thing going with physical disc rental. Streaming licensing works completely differently and the terms favor the copyright holders.
Copyright holders don't need Netflix so they hold all of the power in streaming pricing negotiations.
Also note that their biggest competitor, Amazon, is happy to offer streaming at break-even pricing. Amazon as a whole doesn't need margins, they certainly don't need margins for a side product like streaming. Its hard to sell something at a profit when someone else is selling it at cost.
Terrible way to invest your money.
But once you start sports like NFL and NBA. These guys would do exclusive deals. That would work if Netflix gets them. YouTube and Twitter are up before.
Long story short, Netflix is good right kow because of its original content. It has to keep that up and innovate.
