Investors Miss This Key Fact About Netflix

Oh, how quickly fortunes can change in the great game of investing. Take Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX  ) , which is already up more than 90% year to date.

Multiple catalysts have forced the stock higher. The latest include a $500 million capital raise to refinance existing debt and purchase new content and news that the U.S. Postal Service is thinking of ending Saturday delivery. Both moves could save Netflix millions.

But is it enough? Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) recently convinced PBS to sell it exclusive streaming rights for the popular show "Downton Abbey."�Sony (NYSE: SNE  ) , meanwhile, decided to stick with streaming its feature films through Starz rather than switch to Netflix.
