HD

Mr_Saturn1

I don’t even think it’ll be one less subscription. Instead of the tiered service now that is SD, HD, UHD, it’ll be a tiered service where X gets you the basic Netflix content package and you’ll need to pay extra for the HBO package or some bullshit like that.

Living-Stomach-2079

this will likely be a big stock win for Netflix for sure. But as a consumer what does it mean? If they bring GOT to Netflix and INCREASE the shows while keeping that HBO quality of the show, i will happly pay the incoming mark up. The stock would soar. Or do they keep it as 2 separate brands? I'm not paying 200++ a year for HD HBO because I love 1 or 2 shows.

What’s illegal about licensing content from its creators? And, you’re combining inflation-adjusted historical prices with non-adjusted current prices. If you want to compare fairly, you either compare nominal-to-nominal or inflation-adjusted-to-inflation-adjusted. Mixing them will always exaggerate the “price jump” no matter what service you’re looking at. Also, the 2013 “HD/4K” tier isn’t comparable to today’s Premium plan. The modern Premium tier includes more simultaneous streams, more supported devices, true 4K/HDR, Dolby Atmos, downloads, and a much larger content library than Netflix had in 2013. So even the underlying product has materially changed, not just the price. Netflix is still an extremely fair value proposition, they’ve invested heavily into functionality and content library since inception as well, so the very tame (relative to competitors) and transparent increase in their pricing model comes with additional value add to the customers.

If we are strictly talking about potential for 2026 then I like PANW, AMZN, NKE, PG, HD, and BA. All are well off ATHs, have good cash flow, and are solid (non speculative) companies. May not be sexy picks like your AI trades but I’m in on these 6 for next year.

CaptainDarkstar42

Oh please, it's making an illegal copy of an existing product. I'm not losing sleep over that. You made me curious to see what Netflix's price has been over the years. The first plan was $7.99 in 2011, which according to the CPI inflation calculator is about $11.78 now. While it is true that the lowest cost Netflix subscription is now $7.99, that is $7.99 with ads. That plan also doesn't include a LOT of programming for "licensing" reasons. If you want to stream in HD, you originally had to pay $9.99 in 2013, or $14.09 in today's money. That plan is now $17.99, a 27% jump in cost. God forbid you wanted the 4K plan, which started at $11.99 in 2013, which would be $16.91 in today's money. But, now that plan costs $24.99 or a ridiculous 47% jump in price. Internet speeds and bandwidth keep increasing which makes it cheaper to send higher bandwidth content. So no, Netflix's prices have risen quite a lot for the standard and premium plans. Like I said elsewhere, I am fine purchasing a digital copy of a movie or show that would be mine forever to own, the same way with physical media. I'm tired of paying for moronic subscriptions where these companies continue to squeeze out any money they can from us.

Hornyscotsdude profile picture Hornyscotsdude 4 years ago Best way to view jap porn is to download, edit into individual scenes and save onto USB stick. Then plug usb into the back of your HD TV, sit back and enjoy the show! (Best to have a box of hankies standing by!)

penultimateinsight

CPI is horseshit. When everyone had a big tube TV they paid $200-$300. Then flat screens came starting at $4,000 going all the way to $15,000. Of course those went way down and show a "decrease" in the price of TVs. At some point the original flat screens could be gotten for $1,000 while HD and LED backlights became flagship at the high end price range. The same cycle repeats and 4K today is $1,000-$2,000. According to CPI TV's have gotten 99% cheaper from 1990-2025. This measures price changes but not cost of living. No one wants a tube today. Same thing for smartphones. You could buy the original iPhone for $399. That was a truly revolutionary technology on the cutting edge. Today iPhone 17 which is barely an improvement is $799 at the starting price. But CPI says smartphones from 2019-2025. If they tracked it earlier I bet it would show an even steeper "decline" in price.

Bro I've got dudes coming up to me for the last 5 years at my Lowes and HD

ReversePettlngZoo

I was in a Lowe's and HD on Friday & Saturday. There were employees every where, coming up to me, on more than one occasion, asking to help me. That is a total 180 from every other experience I've had in both places my whole life. You usually have to hunt to find any employee, in any department, if you need help.

Yes BYD has home-field advantage in China, with many more customers than the US and Europe. But also BYD combines all their different types of cars into sales so while they are feeding Tesla overall in electric vehicle vehicles, it’s not as wide of a margin as it seems on paper. they’d outsell Tesla in the US if not for anticompetitive markets” doesn’t make sense. BYD doesn’t even want to sell in the US, they’ve said publicly they have no plans to enter because the margins here are terrible and the political climate is hostile to all Chinese automakers, not Tesla specific. As for “transportation is an awful business,” that’s true… for legacy automakers who operate at 2–5% margins and rely on dealers, incentives, and massive fixed-cost structures. Tesla’s margins, even after price cuts, are still higher than Ford, GM, Stellantis, BMW, and Mercedes on a per-vehicle basis. So no, Tesla isn’t Toyota 1995, but it’s not circling the drain with the ICE giants either. Waymo comparison is another category error. Waymo operates in limited geofenced ODDs with HD maps curated down to the centimeter. That’s not a mass-market, globally scalable system, it’s a great demo for constrained areas. Tesla’s entire FSD/robotaxi bet is the opposite approach (vision-based generalizable autonomy). You can say it won’t work, but comparing it to Waymo’s mapped sandbox doesn’t prove failure. And the “sales falling because of Elon’s antics in civilized countries” is an oversimplification You can dislike Tesla or Elon without rewriting the entire industry to fit the vibe. The Tesla model Y is the number one selling collector vehicle in Europe and the Tesla model three is number 2 LMAO.

Fair points, but in the end they're two routes to the same intended result. Like blu ray v HD DVD. One of them is going to wind up preferred, Nvidia is definitely more plug and play as of now.

Home Depot shares because the Lemmings “support the current thing” is just giving HD free advertising 🤣 

battery923

for a true CSP you are right they would need 32K to cover max loss, but the margin requirement for that short put will be much less than 32K, depending on the ticker of course Ironically 5 years later the price of HD is around the same area, selling a PUT at 325 right now only requires around 5.3K for the margin requirement. and dont forget the margin requirement amount goes up and the trade moves against you

Barlored

HD really should stand against ICE. The people being deported are the ones using their products. Sorry DIY dads, you don't move inventory like the amigos. PUTS

modder9

Stop trying to save your HD puts by preventing house fires.

JayArlington

This is the least compelling argument. We have had consistently greater capability from compute storage and networking and yet we kept building smaller transistors and faster data transmission. Consumers started wanting “more things” (HD hentai porn vids on their phone).

cryptopolymath

MCD, CMG, HD, DIS all show consumer sentiment is at an all time low. WMT is up but that could be a sign high earners are looking for cost savings.

Exited HD completely with my profits, will get back in if it goes down to a price I like. For MSTR, what would force Saylor to sell the company's BTC?

I’m retired and building a few additions on my house. I’m more of a vibes builder though so I’m in Lowe’s and HD every other day getting shit I forgot or didn’t realize I would need. All hours of the day, traffic at Lowe’s and HD has seemed steady. Material costs don’t really matter to me. Even so, I haven’t noticed anything common that’s egregiously expensive.

Saying the internet was complete in 2008 is BS. Networks and infrastructure have evolved with the demand. Security for instance back then you couldn't do banking etc. on the internet or HD video streaming. The internet was never intended as a consumer product, it came from the military / universities where it was supposed to be peer to peer, not potential billions of people where some may have bad interests. Security standards and internet protocols have had to evolve continuously. It will never be finished, it changes with our needs, and so too it is now changing with our demand for AI. AI can work through the infrastructure that we already have, our vast knowledge network that is the internet. AI is already useful in many sectors, but it's still a cost/yield calculation, yes. Not every prompt needs the same amount of compute. So maybe you get some hallucinations if you ask a simple prompt with too little context and ambiguous phrasing. Learn how to use it properly. It's not perfect but it can greatly enhance productivity. AGI or ASI is unattainable but the demand for AI is very much there. It is not complete nor is it unusable, there are myriad applications already and there will be more as the technology matures and everyone learns its caveats and how to use it most effectively. The hyperscalers are very profitable. Ofcourse you have to sow before you can reap the rewards, they have to build the infrastructure so they can start charging for the services. Look at Azure subscriptions.

Sweet greens target demo is 18-35. Exactly the same as chipotle, and that demo is currently being hit the hardest by rising inflation that is felt in real life but not quite accurately depicted in the data yet. Evidence is seen in the Q3 13Fs that dropped last week. DASH was dumped. In addition, TGT sales and forecasts for the holidays are down. HD lowered guidance. The most damning evidence comes from MCD’s most recent earnings- they straight up said low income diners are expected to spend less next year. All of the evidence is screaming bearish, but you believe in overpriced kale salad? This is the easiest short of your life if you want it to be

user365735

Yeah but Costco is killing earnings right? I'm not up to date but they posted their best month yet when, September or Oct and it's still dropping. So we have HD and target say sales are going to drop, but didn't kohls have a kick ass quarter and say sales are going up? I anit keeping up with everything but target is in trouble period so they will throw everything out there to make it look not like them period, so fuck them saying Christmas isn't going to be good. It probably will be for Amazon, Walmart, Best buy and kohls. Fuck HD, they just had a massive run during COVID-19, blow earnings like crazy for 1.5 years right? Do you expect maybe that will pull back now because less people need to upgrade their house? 

Chitown2655

But why is it so heavily shorted? The future looks very bright. I just can’t understand how people can still be short. New bipartisan legislation in Congress is looking to improve payments from Medicare to cover HD better, esp. when there is a new product that can benefit patients. They will get the indication for TPN. They would not have bought Melinta if they didn’t believe the Rizzayo trial would be successful. Other antifungals are already being used prophylactically. Every AM I am fearful to look at where the price is. If it is up, I know within an hour to an hour and a half, it will be even or in the red!!! So frustrating.

External_Anteater730

Harley Davidson. The younger generation doesn't have much care for motorcycles, and the ones that would actually buy one buy Hondas that are actually zippy, fast, and mechanically reliable. The Harley Davidson pushrod tech was a mainstay for decades- Everytime HD tried to move away from the design boomers got pissed and they switched back. The mentality to stagnate got worse when Reagan bailed them out when they couldn't compete against Honda in the 80s. As Boomers die, HD will die with them. Good riddance.

It happened to multiple stocks my son owns, GOOG and HD are just a couple. The number of shares owned doubled and the return percentage went crazy today. He was excited about being up a bunch today which confused the hell out of me after what the market has been doing and I did some digging into his statements.

OpeDefinitely

ouch that's super shitty. I try to go to local hardware stores when I can, but sometimes the only options are big box home improvement stores. Menards has a great selection of random things that I find myself needing, but that often aren't even stocked by HD & Lowes. It's kind of like how Meijer often stocks things that aren't stocked by Walmart or Target.

Then_Past_4646

I disagree, the local building supply shop and lumber yards are busy as hell. This is a matter of customers simply not shopping at HD any longer, due to price-quality-lack of service, including myself. I only shop at HD on weekends when I have no other options open.

When this subreddit was making history a few yrs back, it was the daily discussion in the break room of a Home Depot store in Edmonton, Alberta. I was half-serious about trying to get co-workers who were shareholders to come into the casino of options, and regarded degenerates. While people laughed, nobody wanted to even remotely investigate any options opportunity with HD. I dunno if I coulda made bread on that - I am highly regarded. In fact, I am literally autistic.

Also agree with another poster that Lowe’s is superior in store layout and the app is much better. I only go to HD if it’s closer to other errands I’m running

Not surprising to me, as I have two each HD and Lowes within 5 miles of my home. The HD have not been busy and I was actually surprised to see people stocking shelves and organizing things - this never happens at the two HD. The Lowe's however been busier - I expect them to beat the numbers.

FalseZookeepergame15

HD is a nice bell weather. If consumers are spending on home improvement projects then that's a sign of consumer spending. If Homeowners are cutting back then they're saving their money. On top of that with HD cutting their guidance they don't see a good outlook ahead.

LumpyGuys

There’s also a growing boycott movement - similar to what happened with Target. HD owner is super right wing and is politically active. Not sure but that might be a contributing factor

CaseyLouLou2

What this person said is wrong. High deductible plans with an HSA are always a better choice because the premiums are lower. The out of pocket max is the same. Yes the deductible is higher but in a bad year or over several bad years you have saved on premiums which can now go towards the deductible. Worst case scenario the out of pocket max is the same for both plans. But the premiums are still less for the HD HSA plan. If you can afford to let the HSA grow tax free until retirement that’s better but if you desperately need the money then pay the bills. You should definitely dispute those bills - the hospital can help you file an appeal. There are often billing errors and UHC is known for denying claims in the hopes that people won’t bother disputing them.
