I would choose the stock Netflix. Netflix is a streaming service, which provide content to the audiences which consists of award winning tv shows, movies which can be viewed as per the convenience of the audience and also provides an ad free experience.
Yes, i would like to invest in Netflix. Although the growth in the revenue of Netfliix has not been very impressive over the past 5 years, but this stock has massively benefited due to the Covid-19 situation. As people are under lockdown and in their houses, they are viewing Netflix shows more than ever before. This is a massive turning point for this stock. International subscriptions has been a large part of it's revenue growth. As of now i would like to invest in this stock only for a short term, to benefit from this current situation. As for the long term, a lot of productions has been halted due to to the Corona virus pandemic. So, a negative free cash flow can be projected for the future years, as Netflix has been supporting a lot of projects , till the Government stimulus kicks in. If higher number of orginal content is marketed by Netflix ,a positive trend can be expected from this stock. So, as of now i would invest in this stock for the short term.
