SAN DIEGO (CBS.MW) -- On its conference call Thursday, Netflix conceded that its higher-than-expected subscriber cancellation rate in the third quarter "seems to coincide" with the rollout of Blockbuster's competing online DVD rental service. Netflix went on, however, to downplay the significance of Blockbuster as a competitor.



Oh, yeah? In response to my query -- and through a spokesman -- Blockbuster (BBI: news, chart, profile) CEO John Antioco said that Blockbuster has added more subscribers in a half a quarter than Netflix "added in its first year and a half of existence. And we added more net paid subscriptions in the first half a quarter than Netflix added for the entire quarter."

"We are confident," he added, "that we will end the year after only four and half months with more subscribers than Netflix had after its first three and a half years."

Where are the new customers coming from? According to Blockbuster's research, the spokesman says, 70 percent came from Netflix (NFLX: news, chart, profile). Antioco added, again through the spokesman, that "we are determined and convinced we will be the leader in the online rental space, no matter what it takes."

The scalpers will be out selling tickets for this one.

SAN DIEGO (CBS.MW) -- If Thursday's Netflix announcement that it will cut prices and curtail expansion proves nothing else, it's that critics were right: no matter how good a job the company has done building itself from scratch, it's in a lousy business.

Hit me up sometimes BP, I can help ya on stocks if ya like.

I been investing for years, buy and short and I beat the bulls everyday.

Though I lost my ass pretty good when the market tanked a while back but it wasnt that bad.:)

Primarily tech investments, no Pharmacyshit.


Big play is in defense and security companies these days and will most likely continue with kerry to increase.

No Joke when the market openned up again after sept 11 I divested really fast into defense and security companies.

I felt almost guilty investing with the knoledge that I would capitalise on such abad event. But then I thought about it some, what better way to put my money?
