You can copy Bill Ackman and buy Netflix. Knowing why you did is the hard part.
Netflix case is interesting. The scariest competitor is the one that does not need to make money. Amazon can run video at a loss forever because it is really a Prime retention tool with a content budget attached. On the other hand there is Youtube.
