Apple’s Move Into Content Creation Could Devastate Netflix And Amazon

Summary

Apple is reported to be recruiting executives to head up a content creation effort.

Apple will probably fund outside production companies to create Apple exclusive content as Netflix does.

This original content is expected to appear in a streaming video service for iTunes and Apple’s various devices. http://seekingalpha.com/article/3482136-apples-move-content-creation-devastate-netflix-amazon

重創 Netflix，問題不大；重創 Amazon? 不可能。

今年 6 月身價二百億美金的天王投資人 Carl Icahn 出清手上 Netflix 股票套現十億美金時，我就說過「Netflix是個不錯的視頻平台，我也是忠實用戶。但它的 China story 一點都不靠譜，目前21倍的股價淨值比、以及一直往200倍在衝的本益比，絲毫不具備合理性。再加上，Netflix距離構築一個完整、客戶不易離開的生態系，還遠得很…」（補充：目前 NFLX 的 P/E 已經破 250 倍了）請參https://www.facebook.com/790294164/posts/10153450172144165

Netflix 所提供的服務，滿足了人們日常生活裡的一小部分需求；但其可替代性，很高。

Amazon 呢?

當然，Apple 有二千億美元的現金部位還有一大部分停泊在美國境外，挪一部分買授權或製作獨家內容毫不費力。像我之前提到Netflix 用十億美金鎖了 Epix 兩年獨家內容這招，Apple 更是玩得起，再結合 Apple TV 搞軟硬補貼同時配合全球電信商去推相關收視資費方案，也挺合理。但是，這樣最多也只能戳破 Netflix 的泡沫吧? 我的預測是，這對 Amazon 股價之影響，連 5% 都沒有，要怎麼重創?

The Medical Care Act - Missing The Point, Causing Disputes

2015-05-25

Taiwan’s National Health Insurance is already the envy of the world. But the worsening relationships between doctors and patients and the shortage of doctors in major departments has also been the biggest threats. 台灣健保已是舉世稱羨之制度，但是，醫病關係之惡化、以及內外婦兒急五大科的醫師荒，也是目前台灣的重大隱憂。冰凍三尺非一日之寒，化三尺之凍亦非旦夕之功。然而，一個根本搞不清楚方向的跛腳政府，卻為了曲意討好選民，推了「醫療糾紛處理及醫療事故補償法」（簡稱「醫糾法」），我們相信為其核心的強制調解的作法，等同頭痛醫腳，只會帶來催生糾紛、深化醫病對立之效果。其實，回歸本質思考，這個影響社會安定至鉅、卻又莫衷一是的難題並非無解。我們非常市儈地認為，必須以「財源」之規劃作為核心，才不會治絲益棼。謹在此拋磚引玉，提出三個解決問題的思考方向（如下A, B, C三點），就教於各界。但在提出之前，必須先表明我們的五項認知基礎：…
