Here’s my way of thinking about this, and how I think Netflix is as well. In the age of UGC, AI slop, TikTok, short form content, the way you differentiate yourself is with strong IP. And strong IP is extremely difficult to spin up. Much of the world’s strongest media IP is 20-50+ years old. No amount of money can replicate the DC Universe. You need money, but you also need brilliance and time. If you try to compete with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram on content that they can produce, you’re going to lose. But if they have Kai Cenat China trip and you have a new Christopher Nolan Batman movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio (making this all up), you can compete. You have differentiated product that is based on strong IP. Then, as you mentioned, the IP benefit for other forms of media. Netflix has started releasing these “Netflix houses” in malls, which desperately need strong IP. Gaming is another big one that benefits hugely from IP. I think Netflix can target people who are not traditionally gamers with very casual, interactive, story based games. The way Netflix differentiates themselves in the era of UGC is maximum quality and legendary IP. And that’s exactly what WBD provides.

I am more than a little concerned that people in an investing sub lack basic economic understanding so I am just going to post response direct from a professional economist on the effects of a UST sell off back when China was threatening to do this: TEXT BELOW: I'll give you a 5min answer as I'm in a meeting. Hopefully someone else can expand. The idea is called 'sterilization' and China is 'unsertilizing' or 'floating' these bonds. But first we need to hit another basic economic principle: the UST printing a bond has exactly the same impact as printing cash. Think about it this way, in a 0% interest rate environment, a $100 bill is identical to a UST zero-coupon bond with X maturity. With me so far? If we add in an interest rate, the UST issuing (say) a 1yr UST zero with $100 maturity and an implied rate of (say) 3% is identical to the UST printing a purely hypothetical '$97 bill' today. Still with me? Lastly, we also know that any complex UST bond can be synthetically replicated with structured zero coupon bonds (and if necessary synthetic rate/inflation swaps). In plain english, you can buy a whole series of UST zeros that exactly replicate a UST bond that (say) pays $X every 6mo for 10yrs and then $Y at maturity, and you can do this for every UST security. In its simplest form, this whole market is called the Treasury STRIPS market, and its the 'mechanical link' that ties together floating USTs and 'to be issued' USTs. Think of it as a 'check' that makes sure that there are no arbitrages. (Side note: exploiting these small pricing differences between existing USTs, their synthetic counterparts, and 'on the run' USTs was the strategy that Long Term Capital Management was using....for a while.) So: printing bonds is the exact same as printing cash. I don't have the time to fully explain this now, but the 'moment of inflation' (eg, the exact timing of when the inflation occurs from printing cash v bonds is identical too.) Theres a TON of myth around people saying 'we have to print a ton of cash to pay off the deficit which will trigger inflation.' This is wrong - if you print to pay off a bond, there is no inflation impact b/c you experienced the inflation the moment the bond entered the economy. I used to use Monopoly to teach this to junior bankers back in the day. Now sterilization: a $100 bill 'impacts' the US economy to the extent that it is IN in the economy and transferring value between parties. This should be fairly intuitive. If you went to the UST in Washington DC, got your hands on a brand new $100 bill, and then spent it - that $100bill will contribute to the economy and have a micro, micro impact on the broader US economy. HOWEVER, if you take that $100 bill, and buried it in your back yard, it will never contribute to the economy - it has been 'sterilized'. Because we know that UST=$100bill, you could also take an off the run UST and bury it, it will be 'sterilized.' Now to China. For the past ~20 years, China has been the biggest foreign buyer of USTs (and Japan and Germany/Europe). They do this b/c they are trying to keep their currency cheap compared to the USD, but CHina is (by far) the biggest buyer. In plain english, we have been flooding the world with USTs and as a result, the USD should be a lot weaker than it is now. But a weak dollar is very bad for countries that import into the US. So those countries exposed to a weak USD, have been buying and sterilizing USTs for 20 years. This is the root of the US's claims that China is a currency manipulator - China has been buying USTs by the trillions - and 'sterilizing' them - to keep their currency cheap relative to the USD. Same with the Yen and to a far lesser degree the euro. But we have good relations with Japan/Europe, so we don't call them currency manipulators. Now China is threatening to reverse that by floating a chunk of their USTs. The impact will be to weaken the USD relative to other currencies.....which honestly isn't that big of a deal in my opinion. Just say for sake of argument that the USD weakens by 20% over the next year: oil will be ~$10/bbl more expensive, US imports will be a little more expensive and exports will be a little more valuable - but the trade gap won't move a ton as a % of GDP. It does have the impact of exacerbating the tariffs, which is a net 'bad'. Additionally, we could see a trickle through of somewhat higher inflation in the US, but an additional 2% to 3% inflation would probably be a good thing as long as its spread widely across the whole economy (eg, not just concentrated in, say, energy and housing). In econ terms, its 'pro-cyclical velocity', whcih we need right now. But in total, I don't know too many people that are really freaked out about it on Wall St - its an interesting talking point, but not a 'holy shit' thing. People are bracing for it the same way you'd brace for a ~100bps Fed rate cut (eg, just be ready for a weaker dollar), but the Fed can basically just raise/hold rates if it becomes an issue. If China were to really float all of their USTs and the yuan, it would devastate their economy b/c they would effectively price themselves out of the global economy. This was longer than 5min..... ME AGAIN: Those bonds getting sold go to other bondholders who still need to hold them to maturity. The inflation happened when the bonds were issued. If other countries stop buying NEW treasury issues then we experience inflation but not by selling them off.

Between this, and the cost to acquire a whole country in the year of our lord 2026, we’re looking at the US Dollar losing half of its value by 50% since 2016. The spending coming out of DC is out of control and it’s getting worse. Now the world is dumping our currency. America is in serious trouble.

I will bet that many of your companies do business in the US and EU so be selective if you plan on rebalancing based on our mutual dislike and ignorance of the current Administration in DC.

Thereisnospoon64

Part of the issue/problem is how physically large the US is. People from red states haven’t seen any gestapo yet. I live in Los Angeles and as much marching and demonstrating that I do I always wonder if it’d be more effective if all of us were able to fly to DC or Miami and march directly in front of the clown

Yeah the beautification of DC is definitely a topic for the World Economic Forum.

jarchack

It would be too difficult for me to procure and store physical gold and silver, so I went with a couple of ETFs that backed by actual bullion. SLV and GLD have the most liquidity but there are some ETFs that have a lower expense ratios. I also carry some platinum and have stock in a company that does mostly precious metal royalties instead of handling the actual metal. Just on a hunch I started buying PM's earlier last year because I figured that the US dollar was going to be encountering some volatility because of tariffs and other nonsense out of DC.

David_Browie

I was just talking to two friends of mine this weekend in their 30s (a psychiatrist in NYC and a public policy guy in DC) and both said they had never used ChatGPT nor had any desire to. My brother in law (21 in WI) said the same thing.  I would love to see numbers, because I understand that anecdotally this is inescapable but at the same time I don’t really know many people in my personal life who use it routinely.

Do you really believe that in a war with canada, they'd ever make it DC? They barely have an army. They'd be occupied and under U.S control in a single day, if the U.S didn't care about casualties because it was a national security risk north atlantic carrier strike groups/cruise missile salvos would have every canadian city looking like gaza in 24 hours. Their only hope would be if the U.K or France stepped in with a nuclear deterrent on their behalf. That's it. It's not 1812, the U.S has invested in military power almost to the exclusion of everything else, and Canada has basically no army because they have always trusted their defense to the United States in the postwar period.

Yeah, Netflix will benefit enormously from owning franchises like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and DC Comics.

It’s not hard if push really comes to shove. General strike. If not that, imagine 100,000 people decide to occupy DC for days on end. It will take hard work from the people, but at the end of the day, that is where the power lies

The "Russian Threat" is coming from Washington DC. Honestly, Russia is no threat to Greenland, especially not now. Half their navy is at the bottom of the Black Sea and the rest is rusting and barely afloat. Russia couldn't take or hold Greenland against NATO even if it wanted to.

Sick0h

Jerome Powell on who’s smarter: Him or DC’s Mango. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of the Federal Reserve seal. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want,” Powell said.

OrganizationNo6074

At least 12 jurors (out of 16-23) who are randomly selected from the District of Columbia must vote to indict Powell for intentionally misrepresenting to Congress the costs of the renovation. First problem: it is reasonable to assume that most DC citizens aren't sympathetic to Trump or his political appointees to DOJ. Second problem: mere mistatement of facts by Powell is not an offense. The offense requires intent to mislead. It also requires that the misrepresentation be material. This political gambit is almost certain to fail.

Melting the Greenland ice sheet raises global sea level 24 feet submerging every major coastal city in the world, NYC, SF, LA, DC, Florida, etc

mcchicken_deathgrip

Exactly. OP is correct about the larger macro picture with critical minerals but wrong about Greenland. And also wrong about which companies to buy, minus UUUU and MP. The administration has made it clear over and over again that the bottleneck they want to resolve at basically any cost is midstream processing. This means companies that are building out refining plants that sell finished inputs to end stream users. Not mining explorers, developers, or even producers unless they are already producing a mineral or ree that is extremely supply constrained and operate the only site the west has access to. They made this clear in their section 232 memo last week, they made it clear at recent G7 meetings, and they made it clear in multiple conferences in DC recently. Also OP is too focused on uranium when it's one of the only REEs that does currently have significant existing domestic processing supply chains. Not to mention uranium has extremely steady and slow moving demand due to the fact that the only end stream users are utility companies who take up an extremely predictable amount of supply and secure contracts years out in advance. And new nuclear plants take over a decade to build, so forecasting is much more predictable. This is pretty different from other critical minerals who sell to industry which is much more volatile and completely dependent on China for supply.

SteelyLan

Ahh, that doesn’t work in Danish context. Washington distinguish itself from the rest of the nation by being the capital of power. In Denmark (smaller population than W.DC) Copenhagen is the capital in terms of size and power.

Civil war, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, mass shootings, presidential assassinations, MLK, earthquakes, hurricanes, wild fires, Washington DC burning in 1814, red scare…. So many horrible things have happened. I’m sorry, this is not one of them. The US will not size Greenland by force. Republicans don’t support it. He’s trying to make a deal happen. Is it stupid? Probably, does he say a lot of shit? Yes. But the world spins on, nobody is dead or injured, and the markets will dip and then recover.

If Donald got Greenland, he would probably try to melt the ice sheet with heat generating data centers and to access the land, which would raise global sea level 24 feet submerging most coastal American and European cities including all of NYC, Florida, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, etc

Hell, DC is right there. And has multiple times wanted to be a real state. The thing is all of these places are overwhelmingly democrat and would destroy the GOP ever winning anything ever again.

The competition is disney. original content production, merchandise, experiential, gaming. Disney airtime exceeds Netflix when accounting for the full scope: - streaming via disney+, hulu, espn+ - disney's linear networks (ABC, espn etc) And has a HUGE experiential and merch advantage. The WB deal would help close that gap somewhat through theme park development or continued licensing of DC & HP. Amazon is also potentially competition but original entertainment is such a tiny portion of what they do - and their investment in IPs (and logistics/cloud leadership) indicates they may be more focused on gaming than attractions. I see people mentioning YouTube but that includes a ton of free content and a live tv service that netflix isnt attempting to provide beyond sports acquisitions. Theres competition for time (and increasingly video podcasts) but thats niche stuff, YouTube is winning on cost and quantity but doesnt own the content. I like Netflix over the next 3-5 years. I definitely like amazon over a lifetime though. Netflix has a lead in what you watch on your TV. Amazon has a stranglehold on global logistics.

DressingOnTheClyde

That's not the point. For example - look at just DC. The rights to all those characters for movies tv but also video games, merchandise, theme park ride licensing...

Going off the CEO's comments prior to the election in 2024 the administration is not a factor in this business. It was Biden's administration that first declared Fluorspar a critical mineral and, well Trump's admin isn't into stopping anything positive on US soil. There are no ecological issues to be addressed now or in the future, there are no wildlife issues and the process reuses water an infinite number of floatation cycles (less evaporation). So no matter what happens in Washington there's nothing foreseeable that would take Ares out at the knees. Even if the Govt didn't reap the contract when it is done there's an enormous market for this stuff. All the Govt contract does is prove that there's a market. Ares literally cannot dig it out fast enough. And then there are the rare earth minerals identified in the ore. Noon yet knows how that will impact the mine and revenue, they are trying to work that out now. Again though, that's not someting that any DC administration is going to run interference on.

How does that make sense? Explain to me how Intel was turning a profit overall prior to IFS being spun out? Because those profit numbers also included DC and client chips alongside what they spent on their fab. It wasn’t as if they spun out IFS and suddenly their DC/Client chip sales fell off a cliff. Like implying they were somehow “haemorrhaging” money in their fabs beforehand IFS ignores that they were still profitable compared to when IFS was spun out and they started preparing for servicing external customers. The reason IFS has operated with a loss since its creation is because they were operating on an internal model. Their fabs were never designed with external customers in mind Now with IFS, they want to make chips for other companies. So they need to expand fab capacity, create new PDK’s that are easily usable by clients, create support teams to help clients create designs etc. That costs money, that’s why they only stayed reporting a loss as an entire company since IFS was split out. They’re also buying the newer High-NA EUV machines from ASML, meanwhile TSMC is still using their older machines for the time being whilst they evaluate High-NA EUV. Hence Intel’s losses look worse than them. So the losses aren’t because Intel can’t make money, but because the R&D, and under utilised capacity in order to set the company up for external customers are hitting the P&L during the fab build out in places like Arizona, Oregon, and Ireland.

The numbers quoted are for residential, commercial, and high-rise. In DC you're not allowed to do high-rise construction in some areas and so all the govt buildings you see are relatively short and wide. I'm sure that greatly increases the cost per square foot. Also if you see the way govt buildings in DC are built they tend to be quite different than commercial buildings because they are expected to keep a certain aesthetic and of course have all sorts of additional things for security. I'm sure if the really wanted to be as minimalistic as possible they could knock a decent chunk off the price of renovations, but these buildings are as much symbolic as they are functional and so I suppose using a fraction of the overall budget to have these symbols of stability and power are deemed worth it by Congress. Here's one pic of the interior and just looking at it you can understand why the costs are so high. https://www.alamy.com/the-atrium-of-the-marriner-s-eccles-federal-reserve-board-building-monday-feb-5-2018-in-washington-ap-photoandrew-harnik-image512650687.html

Two 1930’s built structures that have never been fully remodeled require such extensive renovations as: “Construction on the Marriner S. Eccles Federal Reserve Board Building and the adjacent Federal Reserve East Building involves adding new office space, removing asbestos and lead, and replacing antiquated mechanical systems.” The pre WW II buildings also have to be updated to meet 2001 security regulations. Not only that but the buildings are in the monument core of DC which required oversight by multiple boards. Some of those regulations restrict building height which means they often resort to building underground which is also part of construction. “Parts of the job call for deep excavation. Expanding the Fed’s campus involves converting a parking garage underneath the Eccles Building into additional office space. A five-story addition on the north side of the Fed’s East Building also boasts four extra floors below ground. Below the south lawn of the East Building, a 318-space parking garage is being added.” This is an incredible project done during a time of incredible inflationary pressures for the construction world. The complications of the project can not be understated. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-12/why-the-federal-reserve-s-renovation-costs-2-5-billion

SPACmanJones

Been in $tmc and $tmcww for like 1.5 years. Holding til at least $20 or $0. This guys correct about it being a great binary play. The 700% is baseless though. Based on the NPV of their claims it'd trade more in like $25-30 range if they get their license. Probably trade a under that. But it's also a new technology, new market, hype with critical minerals and national security. Also if prices of manganese, nickel, copper, and cobalt rise that changes the valuation of their claims. So it might trade higher. Company has ties to Trump, Musk, and big time oil execs. CEO was in DC a lot a few months ago but things have been quiet lately. Also potential to be one of the next companies the U.S. takes a stake in.

I think you are conflating two different proposals. First was the edict issued by the Government in DC that interest rates be capped at 10% by next Tuesday. The Second is proposed legislation, called The Credit Card Competition Act, which will require banks to "enable at least two unaffiliated card networks (including one outside Visa/Mastercard)" for transactions. The intent is to lower swipe fees. A direct attack on the business model of V/MC.

The man's sticking to the data while everyone's screaming at him to print money or crash the economy for political points. Independent Fed = stable markets. It's not complicated. Also 'He's looking at me trading. Judging me. Congratulating me.' is absolutely sending me.

KahlVados

In the event that Trump tars-and-feathers Powell and runs him through the streets of DC, the market will open -0.3% due to the unusual circumstance, but then investors will conclude that it is quite interesting what's going on and bid it up slowly to 0.2% by the end of the session.

>Under Sleepy Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats, the average American Household’s monthly Utility bills went up MASSIVELY — over 30%! I never want Americans to pay higher Electricity bills because of Data Centers. Therefore, my Administration is working with major American Technology Companies to secure their commitment to the American People, and we will have much to announce in the coming weeks. First up is Microsoft, who my team has been working with, and which will make major changes beginning this week to ensure that Americans don’t “pick up the tab” for their POWER consumption, in the form of paying higher Utility bills. We are the “HOTTEST” Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must “pay their own way.” Thank you, and congratulations to Microsoft.

Hell yeah. What I said wasn’t a slight on you, just that the comments are worthless. AI companies are tough to determine value on right now. Most have ran 100% already, dipped 50%, now back close to ATH’s. It takes a lot of research to find a stock you’re comfortable with putting money on. My favorite DC stock is NBIS. If you’d like to research them they have several great subsidiaries (Avride, Toloka, Clickhouse) to secure low interest financing. Several contracts with hyperscalers totaling about $25B to help with infrastructure buildout. Their leadership has experience in scaling a company. The SP has already appreciated a lot recently so it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth a purchase at these prices. I’m not recommending either way. But my recommendation with any of these DC stocks is to keep it less than 5% of your total portfolio as they’re risky and could potentially go to zero. Or go to the moon, who knows. Good luck brother

Isn't the Burj like more than one tower too? Well for the sake of argument, let's eliminate that. Why is the interior of a basement of an office building in DC most almost 1.5x as the entire Dallas cowboy stadium and facilities? including the largest screen ever and a moving grass field? It's easy to forget the cost of money when discussing government spending (both sides equally guilty of this for decades btw) but seriously WTF is happening in the basement of that fed building?! The other question I have, apparently the fed isn't funding by taxes (at least not directly) but from the interest rates. Isn't that a conflict of interest? Why would they ever want to reduce the rate if they would dramatically lower their income?

WingedScapula420

At this point, I just wish a meteor would hit DC so we could just do a full reset

AdministrativeCable3

Mostly because the buildings are old, so extra care needs to be used. But also because the Fed still needs office space while this is happening and that it's more expensive to build in Washington, DC compared to Dubai because they don't have slaves. This is also combined with how they found more Asbestos than expected and the water table was higher than it should have been.

Is it out of bounds to ask why an office building in DC needs 2.5 Billion for a light renovation? I wrote in a different thread too. The burj khalifa was under 2 billion, so was the cowboys stadium! I don't get it.

Again, even **Democrat politicians** in DC won't go as far as to accuse Trump of being a "pedophile," because they know it's a completely spurious, baseless, slanderous accusation to make. You deranged Trump-haters on Reddit are so freaking STUPID, it's unbelievable.

If the WB happens the HBO/DC/Harry Potter/GOT etc etc are an infinite source material for content…and also gaming licensing rights with those too. The live sports thing is also I think coming around in the future. I think they are a cash cow unless leadership sours.

Im Canadian, and we need nuclear submarines off the eastern seaboard ready to vaporize DC and Manhattan the second the rapist in chief sends the army north. Maybe we can just take some Chinese and Russian nukes and speed up the whole process.

But the thing is I don't think the Democrats are that incompetent. Like if there was a smoking gun in the files, they'd have used it. They tried to nail Trump for everything under the sun in New York, Georgia, DC, & Florida but decided not to use a smoking gun in the Epstein files? For me, that coupled with Trump's actions, mean the files don't implicate Trump, or we have to discuss the far worse ramifications of both parties colluding or being incompetent. And as I stated, I don't think the political parties on both sides are incompetent.

They are going to need an absolutely perfect earnings report to stay at this price. If it’s not perfect, it will drop more in my opinion. I’m worried about the debt they are going to take on with the Warner bros deal. And the real possibility the DOJ may try and block it which would cost Netflix a breakup fee of $5.8 billion. Access to game of thrones, DC, and Harry Potter will be nice and help with subscriptions for sure but Netflix’s debt will jump from $15b to $75b if the WBs deal goes through. I’m a buyer if it drops below $80.

What about Cyber jobs? I keep hearing that there are a ton of them in the DC Metro area? Would that be a better option?
