Comments on: Why Is Reed Hastings Selling So Much Netflix Stock? http://paidcontent.org/2011/11/01/419-why-is-reed-hastings-selling-so-much-netflix-stock/ The economics of digital content Tue, 21 May 2013 15:19:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Kaffenated http://paidcontent.org/2011/11/01/419-why-is-reed-hastings-selling-so-much-netflix-stock/#comment-85981 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:54:18 +0000 http://paidcontent.wp.gostage.it/2011/11/01/419-why-is-reed-hastings-selling-so-much-netflix-stock/#comment-85981 I counted Hastings out once upon a time, it was a grievous error on my part – I don’t count him out until he’s six feet under or no longer in control of the company. I truly respect that man for what he has accomplished. He is a competitor, smart, and I suspect he will win more than lose in the future.

As far as what this means – I think you’ll have more luck with tea leaves. It is just a personal choice for personal reasons – most all executives are aware that their trades are being watched, I don’t think this means anything at all.

I’m supposed to feel bad that the banks are losing money on Netflix stock when they do SO much worse than what Reed Hastings is supposedly doing?!

If the schedule selling were to suddenly have stopped that would surely violate the point.

I don’t think there would be a Netflix without him.
