On CAPS, 16% of the 928 members who have rated Comcast believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Star CashMachine33, who is ranked in the top 5% of our community, and TalibKweli.

Two weeks ago, CashMachine33 summed up Comcast in completely bearish terms: "Customer service is terrible. Website is lousy. Not an innovative company."

In a pitch from the same day, TalibKweli echoes that negative sentiment:

With the advent of YouTube, Hulu, and (the biggest blow) networks offering full streaming episodes online, the waning cable business has begun its downward spiral. Specifically, NBC commands the fewest primetime viewers among the Big 4 broadcast networks. Furthermore, the Winter Olympics are projected to generate [a 9 figure] loss, a figure guaranteed to affect Comcast's bottom line next quarter
