Today Netflix aka “blood bag” announced they are getting into the CDN business, competing with the likes of AKAM and LLNW. On the surface, it makes sense because NFLX is one of the main users of bandwidth on the internet, yet the stock is lower.
Odd no?
Didn’t NFLX just do a fucking PIPE offering, raising money in a desperate attempt at staying in business? The CDN business is very capital intensive. I feel this investment can and will bankrupt the company, eventually, as they are not paying attention to the vampire behind them.
When it comes to content, no one beats iTunes. It’s only a matter of time before Apple buries NFLX for good, just like they buried RIMM, NOK, Sony etc. Eventually, Apple will bury Samsung too, when they release their Apple tv. After the tv is launched, app developers will make REAL games for it, effectively impaling the fucking X-box and Playstation.
We live in a world filled with vampires. Nothing is created, just transferred. The money in Spanish and Italian banks aren’t vanishing. On the contrary, they are being sucked into the vaults of Germany, Japan and the United States.
It’s never a high probability trade to bet against vampires; they have big teeth and move quickly with super-human abilities. Goldman Sachs, love them or hate them, has successfully been sucking the life out of their competitors for decades. Sure, the stock is down and morale is low. But they will come back, just like Apple and the United Steaks of America.
Other vampires include WMT, COST, XOM and GOOG. Am I forgetting any?

AMZN is a true vamp. Well done.
This supersized vampire has killed off more prey than anyone else. $AMZN
WFM sucks hipster lifeblood and is a buy today. No position.

I remember a time when Dr. Fly once possessed vampire esque characteristics on stocktwits. Since then they have lined their halls with the stench of garlic.
they turned G rated
$MCD for sure
MON is a vampire if there ever was one.

Would iBC Blogger Network be considered a vampire blog-incubator ?

$FB reverse vampire
I’m not sure WMT is a vampire …
… but, it’s swing pivot HIGH on 5/31 was $66.66 !!!
That number is a little too earily similar to another all to familiar number !
Just sayin’ …
.
… or, even eerily similar too !

I begining to like “ZeroHedge Fly®”
At the D10 conference, Ari Emanuel seemed pretty adamant that the entertainment industry wouldn’t make the same mistake and give in to Apple. He believes the music industry made a huge mistake and was never the same because they gave in to the 99 cent model.
NKE
Yes.
$ISRG is one. So is $CRM. You could make a case for $KO. And $FB certainly should be a vamp together with it’s cousing $TWIT
ISRG pioneered and produce state of the art medical robots; they create, not suck blood.
You’re not even close. $KO, yes. Others no fucking way.
Although it has hit hard times lately, you can’t forget $GE. They are involved in everything and been a member of the DJIA since Adam took a bite from that damn apple.

Although it claims to love competition. It is very fond of patenting technologies from third world countries that it had no hand or capital in developing. Just planes full of patent attorneys traveling the world.
Public employee unions
I like that.

Although it was finally skewered with a wooden stake.

Up by 2.42 % going into the close.
And that’s how it’s done.

I’m up a whole $150 today. Fucking meatgrinder. Back to cash awaiting the next catastrophe.

For Real?
Every bank in the world.
AAPL is not open. That will be their downfall.
Don’t get me wrong, I own 3 macs but I wouldn’t bet on them in the content race.
AAPL may have been first but their closed ecosystem will bite them in the ass.
But just think about the millions of iFanBoys that think the iPhone 3.5″ screen is state of the art.
(Typed on a 5.3″ Note).
Agreed.
Apple is a hardware company so it is vulnerable to cheaper competition. Android on a Samsung is as good as an iphone at half the price.
AppleTV will never be huge.
ITunes is their real strength but that is a natural market for Facebook to get into, and I think FB would be a strong competitor,
Google, Amazon. Facebook and Apple are all making fortunes off internet traffic, but Apple seems the most vulnerable.
Vampires are not real – are fiction – a myth. Go about your business and do not fear myths.
