Netflix just raised its prices and sold $1.6 billion worth of notes to finance its debt. Meanwhile, it is spending $7 billion to $8 billion every year on content. Can Netflix afford its very expensive original content strategy?

		Yes -- it's continuing to grow its subscribers at an insane rate so it can carry its debt burden easily

		Netflix needs to watch its debts but it is fundamentally in good shape financially

		Netflix is taking a calculated risk; it might work -- but it might not

		Netflix is betting the farm on maintaining gangbuster subscriber growth for the next five years; that's a very risky strategy and unlikely to work

		Netflix is toast; it's yet another startup that is trying to spend its way to world domination, and will end up like the rest eventually

		Huh?? What's Netflix?
