Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

It's the Motley Fool Money Radio Show. I'm Chris Hill joining me this week.

Senior Analyst Jason Moser and Ron Gross. Good to see you.

As always, gentlemen. Howdy. You're doing, Chris.

We've got the latest headlines from Wall Street. Bestselling author Aaron Meyer is our guest

and as always, we've got a couple of stocks on our radar.

But we begin with another all-time high from Netflix. The streaming video giant added

8.5 million global subscribers in the fourth quarter. That is 2 million more than Wall Street

was expecting. Shares of Netflix up 15% this week, Ron, and hitting a new high.

Hello, Queens Gambit, which I loved, by the way. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Definitely exceeded expectations. But interestingly, that 8.5 million subscribers are in line

with what we saw in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2019, which means things are probably

returning more to back to normal versus what we saw happen in the early stages of the pandemic

where they saw a flood of new subscribers come in because we all had really nothing to do

but stream and watch TV. So management is kind of tempering expectations.

They said investors should expect just 6 million subscriber additions in the first quarter

as it continues to adjust to that pull forward of subscribers earlier in 2020.

And I think I should note, there's nothing wrong with pull forward.

Sometimes when we discuss pull forward, we talk about it in terms of a negative.

But getting money earlier than you expect to get money can be a wonderful thing, especially if you have

a sticky business like Netflix with high retention rates.
