After a long-awaited couple of weeks, this week on InvestED, Phil and Danielle are digging into the big investing question mark: Netflix. On the surface, the technology and entertainment company seems to be doing well, however, there’s one big elephant in the room: it doesn’t have free cash flow.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean Netflix isn’t a good investment opportunity. Join Phil and Danielle this week as they dig into how to understand a complicated company like Netflix and how to decide if it’s the right investment for your portfolio and long-term success.
