Last year, the popular video streaming network, Netflix, has tripled their stock price, earning the title of the best performing stock. This is something like an Oscar for the stock market. On Tuesday, the stock closed at 221.60, as The Atlantic reported. The stock price of the shares coming from Netflix is incredibly high compared to other prices in the same industry.
Right now, Netflix will pass though a rough period, because they will have to renegociate the contracts the company has with other suppliers and partners, they will move to a Web-based streaming content and they will face the new competitor in this market, which is Amazon, who announced that this company will offer their own video streaming service. But Netflix has twice as many users as Amazon Prime. The difference between those two services is that the ones coming from Netflix are more expensive. It is a period where we have to wait to see if Netflix is going to extend their stock market performance, or on the contrary to let the online retailer take control.
At the stock markets, the shares of Netflix are shortened NFLX. Amazon Prime is estimated to have 10 million users. The service cost their users 79 dollars and it arrives in two days shipping. This means that the service will be available in two days, because you don’t get anything that you have to download or install into your computer, unless you need some software to be able to see the video streaming, case in which yes, you do have to install some programs.
Amazon Instant Video is a new service which will present the Amazon Prime users online video streaming options coming from over 5000 television shows, which will be offered for free. The customers will be able to see the streamings on Windows computer, Mac or other devices which has an Internet connection. The article I read on The Atlantic does not specify if the Linux computers are supported, but most likely that they are.
The Netflix network has four times more customers that the items stored in their online library. Whether you want to see a show which is live right now or you want to see a show which was broadcasted yesterday, when you were not at home, you can do that only by accessing Netflix. The address where you can find this site is: netflix.com. You benefit of TV shows, movies, entertainment, music, theater, whatever you want at only 7.99 dollars per month. It is a good price considering the offer. And if you are not convinced, you can try the service for one month for free. This is available unfortunately only in the United States. Other services may include to pay 2 dollars per month to get some speciffic DVDs on your mail. By the way, make sure that you backup the messages you get from your partners, because you can have problems like Gmail had yesterday. You can cancel the service anytime, you don’t have to pay an yearly fee and then use the service if you don’t want. There can be situations in which you have to move or you find another way to spent your free time, instead of watching the TV and so on. So, the cancelling option is pretty good. You pay the money that are required for a month and then the next month, you pay again, if you want to benefit of this service one more month and so on. You are not obliged by the system to watch the TV, simply because you have paid a subscription and now you don’t want to take it back.
