Right, gather round, fellow telly addicts and accidental investors. If you've spent the last five years binge-watching Netflix instead of watching your portfolio, here's the plot twist: the streaming giant's stock chart has been doing more drama than every series combined. One minute you're crying into your popcorn during a 75% crash, the next you're doing a victory lap around the living room because it's tripled.

If your investment strategy throughout all this was "refresh the app and whimper," congratulations — you're in the same club as the rest of us. Membership is free, snacks are self-supplied.
Nobody knows, and anyone claiming otherwise is either a hedge fund manager or lying. What the past five years prove is that Netflix stock
