Stocks Of The Month: NFLX, BIDU

I've been watching this stock for literally hundreds of dollars, but there is still room to grow.

Netflix (NFLX)

Positives:
Huge revenue growth this year (50%), estimated next quarter (52%) and next year (34%).
Good ROA (24%), outstanding ROE (89%).
Relatively small market cap ($14B) vs. competitors DirecTV ($37B), Comcast ($66B), Amazon ($85B).
International expansion underway.

Negatives:
P/E of 78, forward P/E of 40.
Likely some form of "bandwidth usage tax" forthcoming.


The only stock I can see that has better growth and profitability metrics is Baidu (BIDU), whose fundamentals have been covered previously. I have added some more this month, and will continue to accumulate.

Here's my current portfolio. As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
