They'll figure out the appropriate balance. As long as they can make more money raising prices, than they lose from lost subscribers, it will bode well for $NFLX's price.

#Netflix is the real threat. $NFLX

Very impressive. I'm always been bullish on #Netflix. $NFLX

I always had the sense you thought #Netflix was a bubble that would eventually burst? $NFLX

Damn, I gotta sell my Netflix shares! Bye bye $NFLX

Seeing the cold, hard numbers has really opened my eyes and completely changed my opinion on $NFLX.

Good comment thread. Yes, #Netflix has much to offer and a rabidly loyal customer base. But the financials can't be ignored either. And unlike TV networks, they can't make up additional revenue in advertising without alienating the very customers whose loyalty the company relies on to survive.

I believe the solution is to take a page from #Disney's book and focus more on licensing. Sure Disney made billions of people paying to see it's lovable princesses, and other cartoon characters, not to mention the Star Wars franchise. But they've many more billions off the licensing of these characters.

Netflix has come up with some really top tier original content for both adults and kids. Not to mention brought over some cancelled shows which already had cult followings. They should leverage these character with licensing opportunities and bring a much needed additional revenue stream. $NFLX $DIS

Not just persevere, but excel and obliterate the competition. Don't forget that many said #Netflix's days were finished when #Walmart, #Blockbuster and others tried to compete with them. Which of those other companies are still standing? Only one! $NFLX

I think #Netflix is the clear leader in the streaming space and even the major competitors like the #Amazon powerhouse with it's edge in compatible hardware or extra benefits (like Prime shipping) or companies like #Sony with it's vast libraries of videos can't compete.

Netflix has the largest offering, the most critically acclaimed original content, the best tech and the most loyal fanbase. While the companies financials could be better, the fact that they've been able to take it's first mover advantage and persevere despite the intense competition shouldn't be so quickly dismissed.

Unlike most products they can continue to raise prices and I and many others would continue to pay. $NFLX $AMZN $SNE
