Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Absolutely. Was thinking this.
Netflix is nearing my content to cost limit.

Less content worth watching and ever rising prices.

I'm happy to pay up to 30 a month for all services. But quality is just going down all the time. Very very few things sustain quality across multiple series now. And there are only a couple of good shows per platform per year now.
If you look at stats.. piracy has been going back up in the last 2-3 years. And the way things currently are… I can see it going up to record levels again. I for one only pay for Spotify ;)
 
Need the market to crash like 20-30% to have another good bull run. Dont think anything will happen until the crash happens.
time can be a correction as well as price. Jan will be more pressure then now

RR nearing 50 day average. good pullback as it hits old volume, its been sideways months relatively

aaz merger or takeover offer values it cheaply as they have a backlog of material to cash out at gold all time highs, with good prospects
 

Would make a nice portfolio of films/series for netflix that they wouldn't have to license to stream and that they were previously in competition with for subscribers

Warner Bros owns franchises including Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, and the streaming service HBO Max.
 
Seems a massive deal, 72b.

Break it down and it's 48m extra customers paying $150 for the next 10 years pays for it.

They have around 300m customers atm.
 
Analysts now saying netflix is a buy. But they still need go get it approved in the US and EU and take out a massive loan to actually buy it.

If they keep releasing flops (like Witcher, which really hurt their stock) things will get much worse.

Approval will be interesting Trump/Ellison link looked like making PSKY favourites. Daddy Ellison will need to get his cheque book out, again. The Shari redstone scam PARA takeover was scummy so hope Netflix get it.

If they do - it looks like Netflix and maybe Disney may be the only streaming players in town.

As for Witcher having any bearing on stock - no! (actually liked the first series)

If everyone had choice of paying for one streaming service - think most would choose Netflix
 
Anyone use the Share Lending feature on T212?

I'm struggling to understand the risk of it, I doubt lending my amount of shares will allow for a significant short against the stocks I hold, if people were going to short the stock my price would be screwed regardless of share lending or not?

They say it's all backed by US collateral up to 102% of value of shares.

I think it's risky, people borrow them and don't return them.

They saw a lot of subscription cancellations, which is what caused a drop.

You guys can mock (I know you love it)

But multiple stocks I've bought in last 2 weeks are up 20-30 percent.
Are any down?

BBAI
LUNR
RKLB
UEC
Meta x3+

These guys had big falls. And I remember seeing BBAI was actually profitable last qtr?

Only one down is micron.

Micron is now up 15 percent from my buy point.
I bought Warner brothers immediately after the buy out news.
Also doing well.

The time to buy Netflix or warner would have been before the acquisition announcement, no?
Not Netflix. The buyer often drops.
I bought as Warner had barely moved with the news. I thought, well, it's. Probably not going to drop.
And then the hostile takeover stuff with paramount. I thought there was a slim chance iflt could get valued higher.

But yes. Usually these things are immediate and you can't react.

I need to s why it's jumped today


Edit.
Just looked.
Ah, that's exactly what has happened.
Paramount has made a 108bln bid now.

Quick newbie question folks.

I'm looking at buying some shares in a Canadian company, and on the T212 platform the company is listed under TSX or NYSE. I'm in the UK.

Logic says buy them on TSX, because it will be a simple FX charge for converting from GBP to Canadian dollars when I buy, and an FX charge for converting from Canadian dollars when I sell.

Would there be any benefit of buying them on the NYSE that I don't know about?

All my current shares are in the LSE.

Thanks :)

FX strength? GBP is stronger against the dollar atm. So you might get a few more shares than GBP/CAD
