CNBC Guest alleges: NFLX Cooking the Books

Quote from atticus:

1.20 or so. The 130/150 put spread is 4.00. Both Jan12.

Better still; the 100/200/300 Jan12 fly is $36.



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

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.
 
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?
 
Quote from S2007S:

Was watching that myself as nflx of course was touching historical highs, this stock will eventually collapse, dont think for a second this stock is going to continue and post 100% rallies year over year, when this game ends this stock will be sitting well below $100 a share, every stock has its day and nflx is having theirs right now, reminds me of the dot com days all over again. This stock could easily lose 50% in a month or two when the trend ends.



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.
