News Breaks February 15, 2013 08:23 EDT NFLX Netflix: From DVD's by mail to streaming video and original content, WSJ reports How did Netflix move from a DVD-by-mail service to using streaming video and original content to become major TV's most unlikely adversary? When online video exploded, CEO Reed Hastings invested heavily in online streaming, reports the Wall Street Journal. In 2011, he bungled a play to split the company into two services—Netflix for streaming, Qwikster for DVDs—losing 800,000 subscribers and nearly $12B in market value. Yet, the company developed the industry's best hardware-neutral streaming platform and fended off challenges from others. Hastings is now betting that when all content streams to your TV and devices, users will abandon their cable services and Netflix will be just another on-demand channel. Netflix does have some advantages, including an established online user base; perhaps the industry's best interface; a robust Netflix Just for Kids service; and an unparalleled recommendation algorithm based on more than six billion customer ratings.Reference Link News For NFLX From The Last 14 Days Check below for free stories on NFLX the last two weeks.

It would appear that traders are intent on moving the shares back toward the $250 area. That area in the prior two-years was important support and then resistance. When the shares broke below that level in August 2011, it presaged a steep decline in share price. Retaking that level and holding it therefore might encourage more bullishness for higher price. A failure to do so could potentially derail the current trend higher. 10:31 EDT NFLX Netflix volatility at one year low as shares at 21-month high Subscribe for More Information 10:13 EDT NFLX Netflix loved by consumers in survey, says BTIG Subscribe for More Information 09:43 EDT NFLX Active equity option families trading on open Subscribe for More Information 09:01 EDT NFLX Netflix EPS could reach $10+, says RBC Capital Subscribe for More Information 07:26 EDT NFLX Netflix ready for battle in Canada, Globe and Mail reports Netflix may have won the initial battle for online viewers in Canada, but CEO Reed Hastings says it must now survive an onslaught from the country’s traditional TV companies, reports the Globe and Mail.
