Blockbuster has been the subject of recent hype surrounding their Total Access offering. The recent stock price increases are nothing more than hopes of a turnaround that have not materialized into profits. They have a significant cost disadvantage...

Debt is the grimm reaper to BBI, not NFLX. Cash flow has turned positive recently--enough to service debt and reduce the threat of failure. The success of recent promotions has clearly demonstrated that having actual store locations is important to...

This has been a magical Underperform call for me in quite a while. In the prototype alpha of this application started in the fall of 2004, I went short BBI because I truly believed that Netflix could and would eat its lunch. Fast forward almost two y...

It's simply time to stop hating this company. Keyes is a visionary, and I feel certain that he will give people a reason to come to the stores. He also has shown through 7/11 that he can develop flexible business models that work in each region. ...
