    I personally now download or stream videos from Amazon and Apple. I used to have a Netflix account. I guess based on how I like both Amazon and Apple, and their ever increasingly popularity and ease of use, now everywhere with the iPad and Fire. I really do not think that Netflix stand any chance at all. Netflix is better to sell its parts of the company or the entire company to other investors who may still be interested in as it still carries some value amid the dwindling amount of subscribers. For Green Mountain, I still have to wait for the cloud to clear above this company stock. Now, there are three things of my concern: 1, its accounting practice 2, its patent to be expired soon 3, worldwide economy as it is in consumer product category, where coffee beans can come down in prices again like it did in 08-09. Rather than playing a casino bet, I would wait patiently for the cloud to clear first.
