Netflix gets diversified with TiVo
How do you get movies even faster than the quick mail order Netflix service? If you subcribe to Netflix and also subcribe to TiVo you will be able to download them soon. You'll be able to pick from the huge Netflix movie library and then download them onto your TiVo box. This is obviously a good thing for both companies as it will broaden there music library and should reduce cost of service for Netflix in its new expanded market.
While Netflix has been flourishing even under the pressure of new mail order movie subscription services big and small Netflix has managed to continue its growth pattern while TiVo has been unable to lock in customers as they choose cable operator and other hard drive systems similar to TiVo TV unit. From Newsweek

Netflix big expectations
Netflix says by 2006 it expects 5% of all US household to be Netflix subscribers.

Netflix still here
(15.84) Well off its high of 39.77 1 year ago Netflix still defies doubters. It goes to show when your job right even the small guy has a chance, over 2 million subcribers later the big boys are chasing the small guy still. On the tough side remember Netflix is a one horse cart and when your one horse stumbles... While there is plenty of room for Netflix to grow volatility will be a part of the Netflix stock as competitors take larger stabs at its only core business and customer jump on and off the ship as the public consumer does.

Netflix sell-off
Well a sell off of the insider trading kind. Then again Netflix marketshare opportunity is still vast and margins still run well. The stock has made quite a run so insider selling would eventually be expected.

The future of Netflix doesn't include just more subscribers but in time Netflix knows the future will involve new formats including video on demand (something which Disney has already taken note of.)

10.16.03 - (51.94) Netflix subscribtion base continues to soar and so do the profits, up 3 times over. Netflix jumped in next day trading 15% intraday. Video rentals is a multi billion dollar business and Netflix has only a sliver 3% of the marketshare. I still still like Netflix in the short term for good growth opportunities with plenty of marketshare available in a still new online video market with room for all players... for the time being.

07.23.03 - Has its first profitable quarter since its IPO offering of $3.3 million on $63.2 million in revenues vs last quarter loss of $13.1 on $36 million in revenues (NFLX). This fledgling online home video rental company has broken 1 million subcribers. Challengers include Walmart online and Blockbuster video online services.
