Sorry Apple Inc. (AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Bears, There Are Too Many Reasons To Be Bullish

On April 22, Netflix announced quarterly results that blew the street away. The stock moved 25% higher based on 3 million new subscribers in the quarter. Netflix has recovered impressively from their rate-hike fiasco that angered both shareholders and investors. So what is Netflix doing right? For starters, the company has revolutionized entertainment by creating original popular content with a “watch what you want, when you want” philosophy. Keeping with their already proven model of offering top-notch content, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) has secured exclusive content with Disney in a deal valued at around $500 million a year.

The momentum for Netflix will continue for years, as the company is likely to continue producing high-quality original content, spreading across various genres. Plus, Netflix will be streaming a brand new season of Arrested Development, which according to many of my friends is reason enough to join the service.

Conclusion

The technology sector is crowded with many large cap companies that each offer the possibility of long term returns. I believe that the companies that I have selected will continue to be major players in their individual segments and will reward shareholders with consistent returns.  Generally speaking, it is wise to invest in companies whose products you enjoy.  My iPhone is a great tool I use for both business and personal use and I can’t wait for a new version.  I can’t go a day without watching some TV shows on Netflix.  Granted, Windows 8 is not spectacular but Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has finally done something right if investors are buying.
