I looked at two articles today that convinced me to buy Netflix.

Which points out that price-wise, it's a decent entry point here. And this, which dangles the possibility of BBI going out of business but then defends Blockbuster as having 3 years to turn things around.

My feeling is in this recession, one thing that consumers are still spending money on is entertainment. Movies are still a big business, even though less and less people are going to the theatres. Netflix has figured out how to capitalize on this over time. They have I believe zero debt. And they've grown their earnings, even in this climate. It's a winner.
And once Blockbuster seems certain to go out of business, NFLX should shoot up.
