could do without netflix. but for some reason netflix can't do without china any reason for this? well, i would argue that netflix strategically is releasing certain chinese films just as they are doing indian turkish because they realized that their global audience includes people from across the asper. we have chinese americans, right? we have many people, you know, from china in the region than america and other countries. right. so i'm sure they would be interested in watching chinese films on netflix platform. so you said the way netflix means chinese content. china does not necessarily need american content, it would seem at this point. ok, so from a film producer from directors perspective, when they go into country, whether it's china or any other country, how much control is that film giving over to the government? how much controls those governments ask of films that come within their borders as in this case at china saying if you come over to us, how much control would they be given? yeah, we'll try

>> there's a graveyard full of netflix short sellers. i think you have to be really careful betting against this one. we always hear about slowing user growth, about limited monetization what you've seen is they've had pricing power and they're coming up with a huge slate of new content. so while i wouldn't go putting on a huge position here, our trading range is about 545 to 607. it's in a bullish formation and there's significant option protection on this name. i think it can go higher as people take off that protection and see some of the fundamental drivers continue to be positive. >> grasso, is the context of the markets in terms of what is in vogue sector-wise -- does that matter to the story, or is this an individual story in your view in other words, do we have to believe that we're in a sort of slower growth environment which favors -- tends to favor big cap tech in order to believe that netflix goes higher? >> i think -- i think it's an individual story, but i think the macro does help the low rate environment is going to help

julia, back to you. >> thanks, rahel. >>> netflix shares on the move falling more than 1% coming offthe first ever fan event on saturday giving users a look at over 70 new series and films to come the next guest says while the event was jam packed with clips and teasers to keep fans excited, there were notably very few new announcements. with us now is bank of america nat shindler, thanks for joining us, i guess my question to you is why do you think it is so important to netflix to do something like that, like that big of an event it hosted on saturday to connect with fans? >> thank you for having me i think that this event was important for netflix just to highlight the difference between it and other services that are out there. the amount of content that netflix has is really unparalleled and with other services highlighting new content such as disney, showing off marvel content that really isn't going to be around for months to even years, netflix has to highlight, this is a huge amount of content that they're showing, that probably, with the vast majority, it is coming in the n

the only hedge that netflix has is that what's really replacing linear tv isn't netflix or disney plus's the streaming bundle and the survey increasingly shows consumers want to buy two and three subscription services and they'll certainly be one of those. >> mark, what a week, and such a busy time and always good to be with you, thanks talking netflix today. markets trading the flat line this morning s&p is a touch screen, but literally by 0.01% as we try to hold break even levels next week will be busy we'll have micron and maybe key votes in congress and code where we'll hope to hear from elon musk sarand, s and lisa suh. >> yes, we were talking about supply versus demand questions and with the iphone and think, with the ps5 and the xbox, julia, amd is very much a player in that. >> we'll get a lot more next week from code, carl >> let's get to the half >> all right, carl thanks so much welcome to "the halftime report." front and center this hour and whether the stunning comeback means stocks will take a fourth quarter jump we'll debate that with our investment committee today and w

question of where does netflix need to be investing now? to help them compete and how important are games? you've also invested in game companies. so tell us what you see as netflix's key growth feature >> i think the common thread between both entertainment is incredible engagement. so, hours, you know, hours watched per day for the average netflix customer and in video games it's often it can be several hours. i would say and i know there's lots of focus on this show and else where about the streaming wars and this answer might be disappointing but consistent with what they argue the competition is not, for netflix is not around streaming services to some extent they're replacing linear alternatives. there is a big viewing ship. the chal slenge and the opportunities continue to develop engaging shows, deep movies, et cetera. ted shared at the conference, obviously, some of the viewing of the monstrous titles and the beauty of the internet is you can provide what used to be thought as a niche show or a niche documentary which used to be se

the one thing that netflix -- it's undeniable is that this is probably the biggest thing that netflix bridget and her maybe ever. -- since bridgerton and maybe ever. it speaks to netflix is global reach. that's one advantage that it has on almost all of its competitors. emily: other top netflix shows, what is it that makes squid game which most people are going to be watching with subtitles, what makes it so compelling? a south korean survival drama. >> one thing i noticed having studied the online video world, what it does effectively is it opens with this parable, this discussion of what the squid game is and what creates the stakes is explained early. the steps, you are building the character arc of this one guy. it ends with a surprise cliffhanger that makes you want to watch more more. good old-fashioned action show. it combined something like the hunger games which is one of the most popular franchises of the last 20 years with one of the biggest forces and global entertainment. emily: did netflix expect squid game to be this big of a hit? >> no. it's kind of remarkable, their b

netflix is now like the grandfather! they used i years? netflix is now like the grandfather!but not anymore! every year there is a new streamer out there, the hbo max, the disney plus, they are out there and doing really well and attracting top talent. so there is so much competition out there. that is great for many who are creators, the actors, directors, they have more outlets to get their work seen. also of course it makes it a little bit difficult for the box office of course because many people still want people to go out to the theatres and see these films and now it is really tough to get people to leave their house, particularly in the midst of a pandemic, to go out and see a movie when they can watch a great one in they can watch a great one in the comfort of their own home. just briefly, you mentioned it was a big tent and a great start to the event but described how it is different still, there are people there but not quite the business as usual yet, but not quite the business as usualyet, is but not quite the business as usual yet, is that?— usualyet, is that? n

i'll stay with netflix, though in terms of the not going big into gaming, i think that's smart. they're dipping their together into something to see how it works out. reed hastings, to me, i've said it a hundred times, the most underrated ceo in the country. i think they report on october 19th i think they could surprise everybody. >> pete? >> i am no pro in that world at all, but i think ea and activision but i appreciate what michael was saying its about eyeballs, and you were asking tim a question earlier. it made me think, you were talking about what would you buy if things went to the south? i would say i would like to answer that. you know, disney, i've been against disney for a long time, it was way overpriced. i think based on that, near the 170 level, i think this is a name if the s&p goes toward 4100, i think that name will go a lot lower, and the multiple suddenly looks like something more acceptable. they jumped into streaming, they were late getting there, but once they got there, they have absolutely excused i think that's what netflix will do with gaming >>> comin
