Default Blockbuster

Do you guys think Blockbuster would be a good shorting opportunity? With Blockbuster taking away their late fees and now tring to compete with netflix it would make sense that profits are going to evporate.

I think the management is making poor decisions. I think management thinks they can just strong arm Netflix out of business. First buy removing late fees which is Netflix main appeal. When that didn't hurt Netflix enough they went to directly competing with them. When two businesses get in a price war they both hurt.
