The US$ is still strong and the Euro is inherently weak. However the crash I've been banking on might be on hold until the ECB begins tapering its bond buying program in September and ends it in Dec. Let's just say that continent is in for a shock to kick off the new year.

I end up using prime video more than Netflix now. Netflix is basically just for the Office, and Ozarks whenever it comes back on. I'll watch their original movies now and then... but Prime Video has HBO inside it, I can rent new movies like Redbox, and generally has newer and more studio releases than Netflix.

How does it have HBO inside it?
Maybe the Canadian version doesn't have everything you do in the states.
Other than their original content, which isn't a lot, it seems to mostly be 5+ year old movies and a lot of like softcore porn type old movies.
And isn't redbox that vending machine movie rental thing? I believe that was discontinued here as well -.-
Netflix already has movies like the last jedi and thor ragnarok, so that seems pretty recent to me.

It can connect to HBO/Starz/Showtime/etc so you don't have to switch between all their apps manually, you can rent new movies which you can't do on Netflix, regardless of if redbox was discontinued in Canada. Not hating on Netflix, I just don't use it as much as Amazon video (mostly due to HBO being inside it and new movie rentals).

I don't believe prime video for Canada has this unfortunately, but all this is great to hear as an Amazon shareholder.

Thanks.

lol I just noticed I wrote "country" instead of continent. They def tried to nationalize all the countries in Europe, much like Hitler, but with so many different languages and cultures, it's an inherently impossible task. Plus the flaw of the Euro was always that they never consolidated all the participating countries' debts into one, so when one joined suddenly their national debt became tied to the price action of the euro while their economy was very different and everything became a mess. A good example is Greece. When they joined the euro, their debts suddenly doubled as the euro rose. And their economy is very much tourism based, yet shared the same currency as a country like Germany which is strongly automotive manufacturing-based.

lol at futures.

president fuk face is chitting his pants over oil prices. Hopefully Saudi backstabs and cuts deeper. Canada should join opec and also cut.

Brahs trading options contracts 20+ at a time which exchange are you using? TDameritrade is a fuking joke. $7 flat + 0.75 a contract...so trading 20 contracts is $22 in fees each fuking way. I hadn't really noticed because my trades were usually only a couple contracts each trade, but with RAD and buying 20+ contracts at a time that schit is adding up. What is the best platform for cheaper fees?

Tastyworks. $1 per contract. Max $10. $0 to close. So anything over 11 contracts is only $10 to open and close.

Tastyworks was created by the creator of ThinkorSwim.

Lol I noticed a ton of the gold bulls from 2010-2017 switched over to bitcoin late last year. I wonder how they’re doing.... prob still calling for a crash in the markets and the dollar.

[Dre4]

I was on netflix for the first time in awhile the other day, and its startling how much original content they are pushing out now.

Maybe that will be the catalyst that will increase subs.

But then again, I don't know the quality of all that og content.

And just as a comparison, prime video doesn't even come close to the library size or recent titles that netflix has. Maybe something like Crave is better, but I've never been on it.

So who the fk knows.

Crave is pretty good, has Showtime programs like Billions (which I'm working on right now) and HBO (GoT is in there). Have never used Netflix in Canada. Was never impressed with the selection in US, only watched HIMYM.

Decent close, let's see continuation into september and fresh aths

[RobParks2M]

Biogen looks ripe for a quick short trade. Their drug for Alzheimer's hasn't shown any benefit in their 12 month study. The only positives it has going for it right now is that it hasn't hit the futility conditions to end the study yet. The study does show some correlation "proving" with greater certainty that the beta amyloid plaque hypothesis is in fact what cause the disease. But AGAIN this current drug from biogen does not have any cognitive benefits at the 12 month mark. ZERO. Once someone actually reads the dam studies I think we will see share price bounce lower- and we will probably see it open lower Monday anyway. I'm almost mad I went hiking this morning instead of trading lmao

I bought SQ a few months ago and I'm up 40%+. I plan on holding it for a decade. They're only in 5 countries while Visa is in 200- there's a lot of room to grow. Also, if you look at Visa's gross payments volume growth it averaged around 12% annual growth for a decade while earnings averaged double that and the stock followed suit. Square is averaging 30% GPV growth so 50%+ earnings growth isn't out of the question if they can keep this up. Square's GPV is only $65 billion while Visa's is over $6 trillion- lots of room to expand still.

Sq hodler CREW.

Felt dumb for buying it @ $36... Not anymore lol

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I know last week price action was a bit irrelevant due to 4th of July bank holiday, but next week looks good for some of my larger holdings. SQ, TWTR and NTLA all had strong weekly closes that appear to have a decent base and upward momentum potential.

Kind of a dumb week as I said, but I like how things look RN.

[valueinvestor99]

I'm also long ROKU and SPOT.

I think ROKU will continue to benefit from cord cutting and international expansion (they're only in 15 countries right now). They launched their own channel last year and reported 47% user growth in the latest quarter (up to 20 million users). Now the majority of their revenue is coming from advertising on their platform rather than the hardware they sell (they've become focused on licensing their platform to hardware makers so people don't have to buy an extra device). They are putting up 30%+ revenue growth >> most companies that put up that kind of growth are trading for at least 10x sales. If ROKU were trading at 10x sales next year, that would put the market cap $9.25 billion which is about double its current market cap.

I believe Spotify will benefit from further international expansion (they're in 65 countries while something like Netflix is in 190 countries). They've yet to open up shop in India which has more than a billion people- huge opportunity there. Also, there's great potential if they start making original content like Netflix does except with music. They could have exclusive songs, artists, concerts, ect. Spotify has a stranglehold on the music industry along with Apple- I believe they have a lot of bargaining power and could get away with having exclusive content (essentially becoming their own record label). Lastly, if you look at Netflix, each of their subscribers is worth $1500. BAMTech, a company recently acquired by Disney was valued at $500 per subscriber. I think Spotify's subscribers are probably worth more than BAMTech, but not as much as Netflix yet. Let's say each subscriber is worth $750-$1000 and they currently have 75 million subscribers, that's a $56-$75 billion intrinsic value while its current market cap is only $31 billion. Also, that intrinsic value is going to keep growing as that subscriber base grows (reported 45% subscriber growth in the most recent quarter).

Got in at SQ for 17/30/33/40, by far my biggest gainer overall. Only have around 300 shares though, I want to buy more now but chiiiitttt. Probably going to get another couple hundred shares of RUN and then some ARKK and THEN SQ. Hopefully it's not to the moon by then. Or it is....

is it to late to jump on RUN have been waiting for ctl to go back down to 17 but just keeps going up

It's for sure overbought right now, but you could say the same thing about a lot of stocks. People were saying that about SQ when it was 30... more than doubled since. I just bought another 100 RUN today because I'll be kicking myself if it keeps going up and "I knew I should have bought more". If it stalls or goes down, I have faith it will still go up long term, just might take a few years and I certainly won't need the money anytime soon anyways.

As long as gas prices climb we will have a greater need for solar/alternatives.
