What Should You Do With Netflix Inc. Now?
After the market closed on Monday, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) reported “disappointing” results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018, and its stock reacted by falling as much as 14% in the hours following the release. One thing that I think is very important to point out is that subscriber growth is the most scrutinized metric in Netflix’s earnings reports, and Wall Street cares more about the sequential growth (quarter-over-quarter) than the year-over-year growth.

FAANG and the Fed: Trump's Rate Hike Concern Could Add to Tech Performance
President Donald Trump's admission that he's "not thrilled" with the Federal Reserve's signalling on rate hikes could support the ongoing strength of so-called FAANG complex, which has been responsible for more than 80% of the S%P 500's year-to-date gains, as the country's biggest tech stocks race to become the trillion dollar company. The larger impact of the President's remarks, and the rare public intervention on central bank policy from the White House, might be seen in the so-called FAANG stocks, which can be sensitive to interest rate increases if they result in slowing consumer purchases of products such as Apple Inc. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, however, notes that "until investors fear the Fed there is little fear of FAANG stocks", given the fact that myriad central bank and government-led stimulus programs, including near-zero interest rates and billions in tax cuts, have only lifted 9 of the 45 MSCI country equity indices into higher year-to-date gains than can be found through risk-fee 3-month Treasury bills.
