Calling All Squids. Time to turn green.
Let's get this party started...
Awesome Earnings!!! Booyah!!! Squidalicious...
Revenues: $7.48 Billion
Earnings: $3.19
Additions: 4.4 Million
No doubt NFLX should post some decent numbers this afternoon. My biggest concern is that 6 out of 7 Quarters, the stock dropped the next day.
Sure hope we can break that trend and enjoy a great after hours pop which can carry thru end of week.
Time to shine NFLX...
Wow, that sure is very impressive.
I never realized how involved Apple is.
Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now. We're On The Move...
Rockets are fueled and ready for count down on Tuesday afternoon.
Fire 'em up NFLX!!!
Fantastic 4 day run. Up $197+
The 'Beast' is looking good heading into Earnings.
Keep it rolling AMZN...
New MacBook with M1 Chips looks impressive.
Just in time for the Holiday's and should add to current Quarter Revenues.
Oh, for sure. Champagne will be flowing on Tuesday.
Let's go NFLX!!!
Great day MRNA. Keep the rally going.
Looking good NFLX. Open and Close at same price.
Sure hope we get rewarded on Tuesday, 10/19 with some fantastic numbers.
Go NFLX!!!
Fears about Supply Chains and Chips.
TTCF still struggling around $18 range.
At this point we will be lucky to hit $25 by year-end.
Come on TTCF get out of this funk and start climbing north.
Looking forward to good news on Thursday.
Booster shots, here we come. Followed by Full Approval.
Way to go MRNA. Keep the pipeline coming.
Netflix Stock Price Targets Rise Ahead Of Earnings.
Analysts who cover streaming giant Netflix are lifting price targets, encouraged in part by the reception of "Squid Game."
Netflix reports 3rd Quarter Earnings on Tuesday 10/19.
Hey budgetthis - good to see you. Hope all is well.
Wow, we sure took a beating in September.
Looks like October could be a decent month for us. We are up $130 in past 3 days, so hopefully we can keep it going. So tired of this $3,100 - $3,500 range we've been in for a year now. Here's hoping the 'Beast' can rally back to a decent level by end of year.
Not sure how the Holiday Season is going to be especially with all the container ships waiting 10 days too offload in California, then the containers wait to be transported via rail or truck. Sure hope Amazon has their warehouses loaded up and have no shortages for the Holidays.
Let's go AMZN...
PRU sure has been on a great run lately.
We just hit a new 52 week high.
Way to go PRU - Keep the rally going...
NFLX rewards us with another All Time High today.
They started selling Squid Game merchandise on their Web Site which will add more $$$$ to Revenues on top of all the new 4th Quarter subscriptions.
Sure looks good heading into final months of the year.
Keep it rolling NFLX...
That sure would be a good Xmas or even an early 2022 Present.
4th Quarter slate of movies looks fantastic and could get us over $700 by Year-End.
Go NFLX!!!
Another great day in Amazon Land.
Hopefully we can keep the rally going.
Feels good to hit an all time high today.
South Korean movie 'Squid Game' sure is giving NFLX a great rally to kick off the 4th Quarter.
Plus they have a lot of good movies and series in the pipeline for this current Quarter.
4th Quarter sure is going to be a winner for us,
Go NFLX!!!
AMZN rallying back after recent bloodbath.
Looking good today.
Let's keep it going.
NFLX looking good today. Great rally back.
Go NFLX!!!
Rally continues for NFLX.
Reaching towards a 52 week high ($619).
At this rate we could be above that level by Friday.
Let 'Er Rip NFLX...
Netflix Picks Up Night School Studio.
Netflix Picks Up Night School Studio With an Obvious First Project in Mind
The game developer will most likely start working on a "Stranger Things" title right away.
Sep 30, 2021 at 9:04AM
Key Points
This is Netflix’s first buyout in the video gaming sector.
The purchase price is unknown but most likely below $50 million.
The two companies have worked together before, and Night School should hit the ground running.
Motley Fool Issues Rare “All In” Buy Alert
Media-streaming veteran Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has gone shopping again. The company didn't buy a content portfolio this time. It wasn't even a movie production set. Netflix wants to develop original content for its budding video gaming service, too, so this week's buyout involves a smallish video game producer named Night School Studio.
I think I know what the new Netflix subsidiary will be working on right away. Beyond that, let's think about how Netflix's buyout strategy is helping the company achieve its business goals.
What is Netflix buying?
Night School Studios is a fairly small but well-respected game developer. Founded by a former Telltale Studio developer, the company with 30 names on its payroll posted revenue of $5 million last year. Those figures are mere rounding errors in the far larger Netflix business, which employs more than 9,400 people and generated $25 billion of top-line sales in 2020.
The developer has four games to its name but is best known for its first title, the acclaimed supernatural thriller Oxenfree. The buyout is not expected to change Night School's plans to release a sequel to Oxenfree in 2022.
Moreover, the studio already has experience working with Netflix. In 2018, when Telltale Games landed the license to develop a video game based on Netflix hit Stranger Things, that studio brought in Night School to help with that project. The game never made it to store shelves as Telltale went out of business later that year.
This buyout looks like an effort to kick-start a new Stranger Things game. Oxenfree has been described as a video game version of some "spooky '80s teen movie," and Night School should already have the foundation of a workable Stranger Things title ready to go. This partnership is right in Night School's wheelhouse.
What did Night School cost?
The press materials didn't mention the size of Netflix's first video game investment, but it was probably another relative rounding error.
The company is not in the habit of spending billions of dollars on splashy buyouts. Instead, Netflix prefers to funnel a few million dollars into each buyout. The big spending comes later when the acquired talent is put to work on developing actual content.
The New Mexico production facility ABQ Studios was another $30 million up-front investment. The Millarworld deal was reportedly a $30 million investment and the StoryBots buyout should be in the same ballpark. Millarworld's and StoryBots' sales and employee counts were also similar to Night School's figures. According to the back of my napkin, these converging data points suggest that this acquisition might be worth something like $30 million to $50 million.
But the company has spent more than $200 million on shooting films and series at ABQ Studios, with a firm commitment to add at least another $1 billion to that budget over the next couple of years. The first Millarworld series, Jupiter's Legacy, also had a $200 million production budget.
I'm not saying that Netflix will hand a $200 million cash budget to Night School's Stranger Things development, but that game should certainly see much beefier funding than Oxenfree. And that's just the start of a permanent relationship, which could give Netflix's fledgling game service some quality content in a hurry.
That's a smart and safe Netflix investment
Netflix has a long history of developing popular and well-loved content for the small screen. However, it remains to be seen whether that impressive track record will translate into comparable success for the upcoming gaming service, which will start out as a free add-on for subscribers to the video-streaming platform.
Night School is a low-risk investment with a solid creative history of its own and presumably a modest price tag. At the same time, the potential upside could be immense if this humble buyout helps Netflix become a major player in the video game industry in the long run. I love low-risk, high-reward investments even if the prospective payoff isn't guaranteed, and I can't wait to see how Netflix puts its first game development team to work.

September sure blew away our great rally back towards $3,550.
Can't wait to close out the 3rd Quarter tomorrow and hopefully look forward to a decent 4th Quarter and Holiday Season.
Let's go Amazon...
September sure has been a bummer.
Can't wait to close out the 3rd Quarter tomorrow and hopefully look forward to a decent 4th Quarter and Holiday Season.

Night School Studio purchase giving NFLX a great rally today.
Great way to close out the 3rd Quarter.

Wow, DKNG sure getting slammed since Entain news.
At this rate we will be lucky to finish the year between $65 - $70 range, provided the Markets turn around in the 4th Quarter.
By the way, Congrats on the Foxwoods deal going into effect on 9/30.
Let's go DKNG...
Decent Earnings.
Earnings: Smaller adjusted loss of ($0.06) vs. ($0.07) estimated.
Revenues: $175 million vs. $164 estimated
Would be nice but will never happen by 10/26.
Realistically max. of $54 is more in line only if FDA and CDC fully explain who is eligible for Booster Shots and if they get vaccine approval for 5 - 11 years old.
Good day Am. Ex. Heading back to $170.
Nice rally back after Friday and Monday sell off.
Let's go NVDA!!!
AMZN rising from the ashes after Monday's sell off.
Keep it rolling and claw back Monday's losses which was way oversold and not warranted.
Go AMZN...
Let's go MRNA... Pushing back towards $450.
NFLX is ROCKIN' Today.
Coming on strong after DIS announced they are expecting lower Subscription Numbers for 4th Quarter.
Go NFLX!!!
Let's see how Tesla looks after 22 years. Got a long way to go.

DKNG makes $20 Billion Stock & Cash offer for Entain
Great news if it's agreed to.
Too Funny.
Suckers born every day...
My upper limit for buying was $280.00.
Good news for the Dividend.
Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.62 per share, reflecting a 6 cent or 11% increase over the previous quarter's dividend.
Luke warm news on the Buyback. We are approaching a 52 week high, thus they could have lowered the Buyback and put a bigger increase into the Dividend or use the $$$ to go on a shopping spree to buy up a few companies that might improve their Azure Cloud Business.
The board of directors also approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $60 billion in share repurchases. The new share repurchase program, which has no expiration date, may be terminated at any time.
Very impressive numbers over past 20 years.
Hopefully today's announcements will help propel us forward for the next 20 years. Should be interesting to see what they have to offer us this month.
