Defending the Living Room from Apple

Defending the Living Room from Apple | MIT Technology Review: "One comment of his in particular during his LBJ talk is attracting a lot of note. One would think that the natural competition for a new console would be the legacy players in the console business. Not so, says Newell:

The question is can we make enough progress in the PC space to establish ourselves there, and also figure out better ways of addressing mobile before Apple takes over the living room?” . . . ."

Vindication may soon be here. Or will it? I've written several times about why I think Netflix is overvalued. If you want to say that I'm wrong and don't know what I'm talking about because the stock has continued to surge, go ahead. But I'm Tom Petty. I won't back down. Netflix is trading at 160 times 2013 earnings estimates. That is not sustainable.

But any investor looking to buy Netflix now, thinking that it's nothing but clear skies ahead, should look closely at this next series of charts. . . . "
