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.
Pershing Square hasn’t beaten the S&P over the last five years, though the long-run record is genuinely good. I like Ackman as a person. I enjoy listening to Ackman and that’s about where it ends for me.
