Thread: I don't always short stocks, but when I do...

I make sure they have a dark and cloudy future like Netflix and Pandora.

Apple Internet Radio Rumors Have Gotten Pandora Investors Really Worried

I'm not saying I don't like either company. In fact I love both. For 7.99 I can get all the streaming movies I want and for free I

can customize my own radio station, but lets face it, both these companies are one-trick ponies and are going to get bitched

slapped by who else - Amazon, Apple, Google?, and Verizon's RedBox Instant (which looks pretty sweet btw

https://www.redboxinstant.com/rbgatekeeper/ )


All these competitors have revenue coming from other places. Take away pandora's radio and netflix's movies and you have an empty shell.

I think its time i start playing with someone else's money. It would really suck to hear that these companies go under but new and improved are always the future.

lmao.. please tell me you're kidding? What price did you short at?

Not short just yet. I'll probably wait to see how things play out at the beginning of next year

I have been long on Netflix for over a year and will hold that position. They have an excellent chance of being aquired.
People have been saying short them since the 3rd quarter of 2011. They have all been wrong...particularly on Friday when I realized a 13% gain from the hype.

I do not own P, so won't comment on it.

I think Netflix has so much potential as an innovator, but also as a company that may be acquired. Absolutely ridiculous to short it now.
In regards to Pandora, I don't see Apple Radio posing ANY kind of threat to it. Pandora is established, widely used and unlikely to surrender to Apple simply because Apple does it.

Don't short NFLX... You'd have to be a complete moron to do so.

I don't know about P, don't know much about their financials and I personally don't use their product.

LOL

Some of your threads make it appear like you're a very new trader... I think you need to be careful with what you post, I know it's not your responsibility but many new members might take your word and make some unfavorable investment decisions.

LOL

Anyone who takes investment advice from someone on a forum probably deserves to lose their money anyway.

What's your argument against shorting it? It's down like 75% off its high.

So far no one has really address the issue that I brought up about nflx and P only having one source of revenue. And Apple has more brand loyalty than any company I have ever seen and the bankroll to match. There is no reason that Apple and others couldn't drive Nflx lower in the future..
