Advisors' Opinion:- [By Chris Neiger]
The last concern, but certainly not least, is Coinstar's (NASDAQ: OUTR ) Redbox. The company recently launched Redbox Instant with Verizon, an online video monthly subscription service. Right now, Redbox only offers movies, which gives Netflix the upper hand. But Netflix investors shouldn't ignore this move into online streaming. If anything, they should be concerned that another company moved from a physical DVD company into an online streaming service -- just like Netflix has. Coinstar's Redbox isn't likely to take down Netflix anytime soon, but the fact that there is yet another online video-streaming option for consumers should worry investors at least a little.
