Wow. Netflix Pulled Off the Amazing Value-Vanishing Trick.

So I've been following Netflix stock lately, just out of curiosity. It's been trying out this online DVD rental thing...

Anyway. It was doing really well lately. i was kicking myself for selling it a while back. Today, however. Wow. I don't even know what to say. It dropped 7.5%.



But a trading pro never gets duped by peaks and valleys. In fact, now that I think about it, this is nothin'. Just a wee dip. Gets the weaklings out of the system. In fact, it's probably a good time for me to buy back in...

I think the Blockbuster(what a name!) threat to Netflix is exaggerated. Blockbuster has a history of failed changes in their business model (they famously went into business with Enron near the end of that story). I see no reason to believe that their past inability to creatively evolve in the slowly dying store-based video rental business will not continue. Short-term though expect some volatility in Netflix's stock.
