I'm more worried about MY welfare in the ressesion that WILL come. If the new president can't fix it we have a problem. And unfortunately instead instead blaming the one caused (Bush) they will blame the one that was currently in office.

Nothing, but 21Q saw the word recession and wanted to look smart by dropping a Bush reference. I just hope Netflix is able to continue doing what their doing. I like their service, both the rent and streaming.

I think this is an interesting move on Netflix's part especially since their current stock price is 25.89 as of today's close, which is about $10.00 above their 52 week low. This is gonna cost 'em quite a bit no?

I am a fan and user of netflix. I used to go to blockbuster all the time but I never picked up on their online service.
I do like the competition, I believe it helps the prices stay lower and offers superior customer service.

Netflix was soo busy trying too keep blockbuster at bay they forgot to pay attention to apple's charge for their market share i guess thats wat shareholders are really worried about.
