Yeah… I’m still not sure how things will shake out. I often think Elon just likes to stir the pot (which he def has in this case) but I’m not sure he ever pulls off control.

I think he’s smarter than anyone at Twitter and is 10 steps ahead of every single one of them. He’s the bully in a Monopoly game that I’m rooting for. 😂

He definitely thinks he’s smarter than anyone at twitter.

His cars are built like crap and now he's going to fix Twitter... sure

Wow… Netflix tanking 25% after hours.

It started tanking right at 4pm before they even released the earnings. It was like some people knew it was going to be really bad and dumped.

And I just looked at its multi-year chart and it has dropped down to pre-COVID levels. That’s quite a fall.

That's how it should be.

6 month chart is extreme. Just imagine someone bragging about their NFLX investment doing so well at Thanksgiving has now lost 60% of that position 6 months later.

And Netflix is talking about adding ads as a “solution”!? I don’t think that will work out too well. They need better content. Particularly movies. HBOMax and even Showtime (with the A24 stuff) seem to have better content.

Did anyone follow me into WOOF at the end of March? Not sure if I posted that one here.

finfangfan · 04-20-2022, 08:53 AM

NFLX has now dropped a third of its value this morning.

k13 · 04-20-2022, 09:00 AM

-35% now.

Beautiful.

I don’t know how they dig themselves out of this hole now. Content-wise they have really fallen far now that there is so much competition in the streaming space.

JMarchand1981 · 04-20-2022, 11:49 AM

We opened in nflx at $221.

I would bet they sold calls against the position. IV pretty high right now, probably not a bad move to be honest.

We have to trade against the market to beat the index funds. It’s a swing trade and josh is correct. We opened options positions for insurance and for an income stream.

My team is absolutely thrashing Pershing. Obviously to a lesser scale but it sounds like I need to do something nice for my people.

finfangfan · 04-21-2022, 08:11 AM

It appears not every streaming service is struggling. HBOMax is probably the best one in terms of overall content at the moment.

China threatening war with the US - anyone considering a sell off?
