Hey Saleem,

Given the way this new XBox is looking from MSFT, I wonder if they are considering a purchase of NFLX at all? It seems a perfect fit really.

Hi Stocktrader,

NFLX could be a good fit with MSFT.

Hey Saleem,

I looked at the way out-of-the-money calls (300s) and they're really expensive due to the recent volatility. If NFLX decides to do a secondary, I might be a buyer.

Hey Saleem,

Oh interesting. I looked at August and they were $6.50. You shave off that extra month and it saves a lot.

I think the timing part is tough because MSFT's Xbox isn't slated for release until later this year, so even a well-constructed thesis on this faces timing issues. Some kind of dip to just buy the stock is definitely more attractive.
