which, general difficulty in the transaction. thankfully we have numbers where we can really see this. we do not get straight out numbers from netflix but we get a lot of data about where the subscribers are and where they are adding them, in streaming and non-streaming, the dvd business. international versus domestic. thes look at some of numbers right now. subscriber numbers, you thought they 3 million subscribers worldwide. and that is a good thing. 59.2 million subscribers worldwide. that was a little more than they added in the previous quarter. we look at the percentage growth rate, something that is important to track. x percent of users worldwide. this business is all about growing the maximum possible size. international growth for the company and investors. that had nothing to do with the
12:53 pm
credit card change that only happened domestically. scarlet: that is a really good point. netflix missed on domestic subscribers but beat on international subscribers. the subscriber base is a lot bigger. does that indicate they put a bigger premium on domestic subscribers rather than international subscribers? cory: let's look at the excuse of the new credit card. took lacepermit that october 1, merchants that did echips could be held responsible for fraud. if you look at the growth rates of u.s. streaming subscribers for netflix, it almost calls into question the exclusiveness. of the u.s.ion market. that is a problem for netflix. how big can the market be? the overall 6%, yes.
12:54 pm
and the u.s. it starts to look like the business is saturated. ,f this were a one-time thing what about last quarter? two .2%. what this suggests is netflix is about as big as it is going to be in the u.s., and that is worrisome because of the growth internationally. the price of the content, all of the content to have over 10 billion renewed last quarter. they did not even tell us yet about the minimum guaranteed payments due on the content. they buried that number and do not put it in the quarterly press releases. we have to wait for the sec filing to find out the minimum amount of payment. this is a company spending a vast fortune in marketing. marketing determines how many subscribers they are going to have. competing with amazon, hulu, , cnn? whohbo, vice

going back to the bond market and equities market. i'm not saying analysts would be unhappy because of an come,riting move soon to but worth noting they have to continue to go to the market to announce a new bond offering and borrow even more money to keep the business afloat next year. cory johnson joining us from san francisco. don't forget, there was also a price increase for netflix. is also interesting, if you want to get the look at the chips part of the business, look at netflix next week. they would have the same issue. coming up next hour, new york fed president bill dudley says there is a clear strategy, but what is unclear is what is at stake for the u.s. economy. ♪

at the end, it does not move the oil price. alix: there's no actual quota. there's a suggestion. iran wants to make up all of the lost revenue and saudi arabia continues to pump, so why would anyone cut back? you would literally be giving money to u.s. producers. why would anyone want that to happen? it's not the opec supply we want to watch. it is u.s., it is russia, it is everywhere else. much more coming up. we will continue the commodities discussion because banks are becoming more cautious in lending money to energy companies. harmthis cause long-term to the industry or does it help
