NFLX: long term outlook?


Yes, Netflix has some interesting new stuff going on. In the long term, can Netflix withstand Blockbuster?



Would this be a solid long-term buy, or just a trade?

I say its just a trade. The face of media is set to change with the advent of the digital distribution of music and video. What do you think of AAPL's media-for-rent product?

This biggest problem for this company is user turnover, they spend most of their advertizing dollars on maintaining their current level of users. Any company suffering this problem isnt a good long term play in my mind.

There may be more important competitors for NFLX to worry about beyond BBI, but with BBI looking to take on a dog like circut city I think they are only helping NFLX

Baris I think you are living in a dream world with the GOOG for AAPL play. But who knows MSFT for YHOO didn't seem all that likly 6 months ago

The question is can both withstand digtal cabel. Why use blockbuster or netflix when you can rent from cable of verizon on demand. That you should be asking yourself.
