  1. Only an idiot would short this stock.
    NFLX is going to bust through 300 next.

  2. I agree. Cook the book or not, NFLX is now at 246 - 247. The NFLX shorts are getting their balls squeezed.

  3. lol 7% jump on android news and short covering.

    100 p/e, lets go! :D 250 is a key level though.

  4. Explain the 100/200/300 Jan12 fly please. Thanks! I know basic option stuff, but am unfamiliar with a lot of spread terminology.

  5. There are call, put and combination flies. They are all equivalent.

    Long 1 300P
    Short 2 200P
    Long 1 100p

    Best-case is the center strike.

  6. Thanks. So selling the 200p's partially finances the purchase of the 300p and 100p. You make money if the price drops towards 200, but the 100p protects you should the price really plummet?

    And the stock did eventually collapse just as I said it would, thought it would have taken longer to happen but it did collapse, here is just another example how everyone thinks that high flying stocks can keep going up forever and that there is no such thing as down. Well again all those who were thinking this were proven wrong once again, fools as always.

    Next in line is PCLN!

    And dont come on here and say its not, I will just start laughing!

    PCLN trading above $530! When the day comes this stock as well will be sitting under $100 a share!

    I was thinking there is one thing to prevent NFLX slide:

    We all have their service embedded in our devices. Apple TV, Roku, many TV models, and most dvd players come with Netflix preinstalled. If you want streaming on your tv it's netflix first, apple maybe (if you bought an apple TV) or cable tv box. Since Cable has only new movies, it's really Netflix or nothing for streaming. I think that they will maintain their marketshare but may not make the kind of money they were making before. But there really isn't another player in town, for now so they will maintain their "monopoly"

    If this stock is $70 I think it's a good buy because then you aren't really buying any growth expecations.
