- For what? - Kill Hunting Oct 15, 19:12 11
  - made me look - so they exceeded eps estimates but not revenue. what likely creamed them was missing their subscriber forecasts both - b. Oct 15, 19:22
  - Because there is always a class action filed when there is a big dip. Then the class lawyers basically greenmail the company into settling. n m - ralph wiggum Oct 15, 19:15 9
    - So it's a relatively useless claim that's easier to pay to go away? -- nm - Kill Hunting Oct 15, 19:17
    - greenmail? -- nm - David, "The Concise One" Oct 15, 19:16 7
      - You're not expecting some poison pill to be running around the building, am I right? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 15, 19:21
      - "we control all these shares! do what we say or we'll do annoying things!" -- nm - mafic Oct 15, 19:21
      - Actually, that's technically not the right term for this. Greenmail when an aggressor buys a big block in a target company and then basically forces - ralph wiggum Oct 15, 19:20 3
        
        but same principle, really. -- nm - mafic Oct 15, 19:22
        
        (But it's analogous in that it's forcing a company to pay $ to make an annoying pest go away.) nm - ralph wiggum Oct 15, 19:22 1
        
        I wonder how much money is spent on all of these kinds of folks - this stuff, various trolls. -- nm - b. Oct 15, 19:25
      - I hadn't heard it before, but I love this term. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 19:18
But they're getting Friends! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 19:02
they're located very close to faux-meat co. perhaps they should combine efforts. -- nm - b. Oct 15, 18:58
On the heels of a poll that revealed that 49% of millennials subscribe to Netflix. -- nm - David, "The Concise One" Oct 15, 18:56
They reported earnings and subscriber numbers disappointed. Still, that's *a lot* -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 18:55 12
- I think I might try to rustle up a few shares. That's a huge haircut. -- nm - Kill Hunting Oct 15, 18:58 7
  - Oh wow. I just looked at price per share. That is out of my wheelhouse - Bacon Oct 15, 19:01 5
    - try this instead -- (link) - mafic Oct 15, 19:06 3
      - Holy shit. -- nm - Bacon Oct 15, 19:10 2
        
        haha, they have B shares too -- (link) - ty97 Oct 15, 19:13 1
        
        Oh yeah. I have those in my watch list. Still more than I can afford. I am debating on Halliburton - Bacon Oct 15, 19:15
    - But it's 25% less now! -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 19:05
  - Will be interesting to see it really opens down that much tomorrow or it trims the losses in pre-market -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 19:00
- In this market it doesn't surprise me. Intel beat estimates and I still lost money today. At one point down 6% on beating earnings! -- nm - Bacon Oct 15, 18:58 3
  - Well NFLX is also a growth stock trading (before the drop after hours) with a P/E of 134 - ty97 Oct 15, 18:59 2
    - (that's trailing P/E. Forward P/E was 69) -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 19:00 1
      - Netflix is having some major headwinds. Competition, and getting squeezed by the studios. HBO just announced they are going to offer online only - Bacon Oct 15, 19:13
wow -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 18:54
