netflix is all grown up now. >> amazing the tesla story, it's inyebl how similar that is. in the bear case for netflix has been exactly that. netflix might be going from a subscription story to a cash flow and earnings story, which i think is fascinating, something i don't think anybody would have thought. it's interesting some of the ancillary names. roku got an upare great. that stock made an all-time high today. it's interesting to see how disney trades on the back of this and to an extent, how fubo trades on the back of this we talked to rich greenfield how do you trade netflix on the back of this it's amazing we say it all the time read hastings, one of the most underrated, in my opinion, ceos in the country 575, i think 38 or so was the prior all-time high in september. that's your bogey. given this quarter, the stock should be through that level watch tomorrow see how it trades. my sense is it's going to trade five or six times. that's your line in the sand i would be inclined to take some money off the table heef >> when i read the shareholder letter, it struck me as to how confident management must be in its ability to gen

netflix didn't do as much not to take away from the business of netflix, but it seems as though disney's stolen a lot of the headlines. >> well, and they absolutely did and they did because of the fact that they went right after netflix with the streaming and we talked about this years ago we talked about, wow what a great acquisition it would have been for disney to buy netflix. it never happened and they finally did do what everyone was expecting them do over time and how are they going to get through the competitive area and they have the content in the world and how will they get in the streaming world? they did, and they absolutely skyrocketed and the timing could not have been better because of the fact that everyone had to stay at home and now when you look forward at disney there are positives that you can point to for netflix, and when you look at disney, you can say what about this what about when they start to be able to re-open when they start to open up for the business segments of disney and that's why i think we talk about disney disney steals all of the headlines and netflix, by the way, has done an outstanding job of doing exactly what they should be doing which is focusing on the future and their fu

netflix still on fire. paid subscribers increasing 23% year-over-year in the last quarter of the year. global demand, the big driver. we will speak to someone who thinks that netflix needs to keep digging in. could netflixdd gaming or could audio even be the way? the chair of the federal communications commission steps down on the day of the inauguration. he took a controversial stance on net neutrality and leaves his successor with some thorny issues. he joins us for his exit interview. and, with president-elect biden poised to take office, what regulation awaits tech giants under a new administration? and, with the potential for more violence, what security measures are being taken at the capital and around the country? tech earnings kicking off after a favorable report after the close. we saw markets getting a boost from tech gains and small caps. walk us through the day. >> let's kick it off with netflix. you are seeing those shares surge in the post-market. beating not only wall street estimates but even their own goals. shows like "brigerton" and "the queen's gambit" behind those moves. today, we did see the stocks index close at a record high. qualcomm, the leader in that index, also hitting a re

netflix is in that mix. there is almost number who owns the others and not netflix i am sure there will be gives and takes in the years as it goes on. u.s. saturate is a risk and all the rest of it but netflixecessarily surrendering market share. years ago, we all know this, the challenge is to become hbo before hbo becomes us. i think that's kind of what happen, they got there first in terms of where the customer base was going before, now hbo is becoming involved. >>> let's go to alec sherman has has analysis on what is crossing the table and what might be coming later from netflix. >> thanks, wilf. i think the important thing to look at is netflix is saying that it is going to be cash flow positive for every year after 2021 and now excepts to be break even cash flow for 2021 it's also saying it will not need outside financing moving forward. so the bear case against netflix for years now has been that the overwhelming costs of original content will simply be too expensive. this seems the fly in the face of that. netflix basically says, look, we are going to be able to generate enough cash from our operations to self fund net application has borrowed $15 billion in the last ten years, sin

netflix. >> sure. so just briefly on netflix, if you figure seven months into a pandemic, i thought, you know, if you haven't already subscribed, signed up for netflixll, 8.5 million people, which is really incredible. you have to think that is going to slow because i'll say the same thing a quarter later. at this point, if you haven't signed up for netflix, who are those people going to be? but as gary said, if they don't have to borrow to keep things going, that's a really good sign. and they also said buyback. they're considering buybacks again, they haven't done it since 2011. and, you know, netflix is one of those great big, popular tech stocks that doesn't have controversy right now like the platform companies, even google and apple people are debating what their role in civil society ought to be. that's not the case with netflix. it's entertainment, everybody loves it. as for the stock market, you know, my biggest concern, connell, is that we are, what, if you forget about that big dip we saw in march because, obviously, that was dramatic, but we're right back on that same path that we have really been on for 11 years. and stock valuations no

netflix is. rich: not titles. this is just movies. i think this is part of the goal for netflix and 2021 is to establish itself as the world's largest movie studio. just a few years ago, netflixas not in the movie business, now we are talking about netflix being literally the biggest studio in terms of production dollars in the entire world. markable. emily: how are they doing it? are they just putting so much more money behind us or finding so many more projects than even disney plus? richard: i think disney is starting to get it. went to get into the streaming business, you start to realize this is a huge opportunity. when you look at the revenues of netflix anything about the subscriber base already up to 200 million subscribers, charging $15 per month. but globally 11 or $12 per month on a global basis. the scale of a revenue profit of a subscription business, it versus traditional movie business. you hoped and prayed that it works. you hope that he gets a dvd. you market it again. that business is so much worse than the subscription business. disney just announced last month that they are doubling their content spans for direct to consumer. i think our top 2021 predictio

netflix certainly found more room to run. that is positive in terms of investors. the other positive take away from netflix is the reason it surged as much as 13% is it is becoming clear netflix longer having to rely on debt to grow. the free cash flow numbers looking more positive. netflix saying they will be very close to sustainably having a positive free cash flow going forward. they think 2021 is going to break even. this is a big issue analysts had with netflix. now they are considering buybacks for the first time. manus: yeah, we like that. dani filled us in with the higher level for justification of watching and being a netflix subscriber. the queens gambit -- how long did it take you to watch the two of them and which did you prefer? on the spot. annmarie: queens gambit a little bit longer. bridgerton, i binged in like two days.

netflix told us they are quote very close to being sustainbly free cash flow. the company will break even in 2021 and everyone was freaking out about netflix and content and competitors was sharpening fives and netflix enough content while paying down debt and maybe buying back stock. you might not want to chase this one after today's move netflix remains the top dog in the streaming and i got to tell you it's absolutely worth buying i like this continually. i wouldn't put it in fang if i didn't like it i came up with fang. but i'm very modest and you only get to hear about it like every other segment. i like disney, too their streaming service is taking off but this point the stock is more reopening play how about the arm's dealer like roku or the trade desk roku is the preferred way to stream to be built into more and more tvs, the stock is on a tear a 30% gain in the past 12 trading days two weeks ago the company reported prelip naminary data a the stock pulled back in response and turned around and hasn't looked back since because the analyst fall all over themselves to raise the target feels like a live auction. i got that and that. i used to auction for a living i kind of liked it yesterday jp

netflix named the top internet pick over at bmo they made google their top faang pick for 2021, jon, was netflix you have one going netflix top pick for the internet. you have one now saying not anymore and now google is the best play. what do you think? >> well, i love netflix, as you know and i took a look and preshan and patricia pulled up for us, and netflix made an 11% correction very, very quickly. it went from 545 down to 485 that 11% correction, i think, gave people another chance to get back in. they are 28% of streaming. nothing wrong with disney. i'm not saying there's anything wrong. they've had great growth moving up to 6%, but that stock has moved up 50%, scott, just in the last eight weeks so disney, even though the runway looks great ahead of them, that's, i think, more priced in whereas netflix after that correction of 11% looks a little more tasty to me. as far as google, no i'm not onboard with them about google i'd still rather hold netflix than google at these price peps. >> we're showing you shares of petco, and it has just opened for a trade, up better than 50%. court, so as you look at petco, let's

netflix and us that can say. that two are global, us, netflix and disney are the only three.act that other people got very used to loving streaming services but they're probably asking and we know they are, the same question i ask. you know, what should i watch now? and when people go to discovery plus, they're going to see all the characters they love, all the brands they love and it's a very easy from a creation perspective. the great thing for us and disney did this very well too, we're not just a list of great shows. not only are we just great characters and great brands but easy to curate people know our characters and brands we think when you put that together with the fact that we're one of only three global companies and with great direct marketing companies helping us, consumer direct marketing companies, that we can be very, very big and that's our bet >> david -- >> we put a lot of resources behind it. we'll be reporting out our numbers. and then we'll be projecting out how big big really is. >> well, we look forward to seeing just how big big really is and hope yo

netflix, people are watching more netflix. there were great offerings that came out.paid attention and looked around, there was more than the obvious zoom, peloton stay-at-home stories. emily: ok, so amazon. will you be continuing to ride that wave this year? they had a fairly high-profile failure closing down their venture with jp morgan and berkshire hathaway. andrew: the company still has so much runway to go. that is no doubt. the only thing that can hurt them is them or the government, actually. so why not? there is a long way to go and maybe someday they will split the stock and we will get an extra 10% that day. maybe. amazon is one that i am comfortable with. emily: so let's talk about where you will be placing your bets for this year and what kind of a year you think it will be. what do you have your money on? andrew: i am pretty balanced right now. i am probably more short exposure. more in the last few weeks then the last few months just because you see the complete saturation of the names. without specific names, i will give facts. some will be zeros. not

netflix and a strong position in of content. it's something like over four years you have to spend watching netflix non—stop before you finish watching netflixact they film a lot of the contact in advance because of their structure releasing a whole series at once and the amount and quality of content they haveis and quality of content they have is really what drives their low subscriber churn. they have the lowest churn in the market because of the fact that the content is so strong. do you think these subscribers will stay? this is the question every streaming service will be starting to ask. in the world gets back to normal and people spend less time at home? this is the worry — spend less time at home? this is the worry for _ spend less time at home? this is the worry for the _ spend less time at home? try 3 is the worry for the whole market. in the past 12 months we've seen a lot of swapping between services and where people used to be much more loyal to one service, we are seeing the move over because of one type of hero content or because of a free subscription offer and as soon as that is finished, they switch onto the next thing. th
