![]() So those are a couple of things that they're going to be doing to tackle the issues here, according to Netflix.īut I do want to point out, while some of this is undoubtedly Netflix-specific, it's not only Netflix-specific. They're talking about- after resisting it for years, and years, and years- perhaps offering an ad-supported offering at a lower price point than their main offering. First of all, he talked about perhaps being more selective with quality programming at the same time that they're going to pull back on spending on programming a little bit. JULIE HYMAN: Well, at the same time, the company is talking about concrete steps it's going to take, right. But Julie, what bothers me, and why I believe we saw, what, nine downgrades on Wall Street here of Netflix, where were these guys beforehand- nonetheless, this sounded like a flailing company on the earnings call, and that really bothers me, because that is not the tone that Netflix and Hastings have set over the past decade. So clearly, you have Reed Hastings out here trying to rally the troops. But internally, we're really geared up and this is like our moment to shine. I know it's disappointing for investors and it is for sure. I do want to highlight this comment from Reed Hastings, the co-CEO of Netflix saying, quote, "What we got to do is take it up a notch. We'll be talking about it throughout the show. But I have many feels on this quarter from Netflix. JULIE HYMAN: I mean, if you look at the fact that the total subscribers are around 222 million and an additional 100 million are sharing passwords, that is an astoundingly high number.īRIAN SOZZI: And they also talked about increased competition. 100 million households, it says, could be using shared passwords. Secondly, password-sharing is one of the other big villains.Īnd this is something that the company hasn't really cared about in the past- that password-sharing. ![]() First of all, it said the pandemic sort of masked underlying slowing growth that it might be having because of the huge pandemic boost. Because the company blamed several things for this missing subscriber growth. And the stock drop that we're seeing this morning could be the biggest single-day drop for the shares in a decade on that percentage basis. JULIE HYMAN: This was a very big miss, obviously. They did miss, and they also warned on the second quarter. And if they missed, we see what we're having here. We gave people out there three things they need to know, and we highlighted the subscriber number- 2 and 1/2 million. Because we teed this up earlier in the week on this show. BRIAN SOZZI: I'll take the other side of it.

The use of rubber bands or elastic reflector surfaces is to allow for the usual expansion of a rubber balloon as it attains great height with the resulting low atmospheric pressure." The points of the reflector surfaces are joined by rubber bands, as by spot vulcanization. ![]() A typical balloon will be about six (6) feet in diameter, although a such smaller or larger one may be used. The seal may be a separate piece as illustrated, or may include the intake port. I prefer to seal the balloon after the reflector unit is secured in position. The unit does not cut off the balloon into isolated sections and accordingly it may be filled with gas through a single port. The elasticity of the supports and/or the reflector unit itself provides for the usual expansion of the ascending balloon. The device being collapsible can be packed into small space. As will be understood, the balloon is made of electrically non-conducting material. With prior devices such readings could not be obtained because these heights were not attained by the balloon and unit or at least not while it remained in recording range. e., at elevations of from 30,000 to 40,000 yards, heretofore unobtainable, may be recorded by use of the present invention. In the former case, the weight of a rain-soaked or ladened reflector adds to the drag of separate units and in the latter case the protection to the reflector afforded by the balloon multiplies its life several times.

Days Sales of Inventoryĭays sales inventory provides you with a more specific look at your inventory as opposed to a yearly overview. It also suggests that the sale of your goods is low and your company sells less than they buy, which greatly affects profit margins. Low inventory turnover is a sign of overbuying and therefore overspending on food and ingredients that are not being sold. On the other hand, if your inventory turnover is low it suggests the opposite. Therefore, it suggests that you are not wasting money on overbuying food that is ultimately going to get thrown away. If your inventory turnover is high, it means that you are selling things at a rate that aligns with what you are buying. Usually, it is better to have a high inventory turnover as opposed to a low inventory turnover because a high inventory turnover highlights success in multiple areas of your business. For bars and restaurants, you generally want your inventory turnover ratio to fall anywhere between 4 and 8 to make sure your business is performing well in the wider landscape of the food and beverage industry. What is a good inventory turnover ratio?Īn ideal inventory turnover ratio depends on the industry that you are in. If you can get your inventory turnover ratio to a good number, and adjust your stock levels, you will be able to save money and resources in the process. This ratio is extremely helpful for businesses as wasting inventory and stock is essentially like throwing money out the window. For example, if your inventory turnover is very low, you are buying too much stock and not getting rid of it fast enough. On top of this, it lets you know if your inventory management is in line with what it should be in order to maximize your profits. Indeed, your inventory turnover tells you how much and how often you are selling things in your restaurant or bar. Inventory turnover can tell you a lot of different things about your restaurant and can give you insights about where your financials are going right and wrong, making it an important ratio to calculate.Ī company’s inventory turnover is actually a good indicator of how well the business is doing and how efficient it is. For example, if in a 365-day period you sold 2 Million $ worth of goods, and your average inventory price was 200,000 $, here is how you should calculate the inventory turnover: To calculate inventory turnover you have to divide the costs of goods sold (COGS), by the average inventory value for the given time period. Inventory turnover = Net sales/Average inventory at selling price When you have this information, you can input your numbers into the inventory turnover formula. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be able to calculate stock turnover, you need to know the cost of goods sold (COGS) in the period of time that you are calculating for as well as the average cost of your inventory for that same time. In order to accurately calculate inventory turnover, there is a simple formula that you can use. This means that there is a demand for what your company is selling. When calculating inventory turnover ratio, you should be hoping to see a high number as it will indicate that your business is doing well and your inventory is sold quickly in any given time period. It also gives you insight into your purchasing habits and whether you are over or under buying your inventory. A high inventory turnover means you are selling things at a quick rate. Inventory turnover refers to how often a restaurant sells and has to restock their inventory. ![]() I hate to say it but yes the tow hooks your looking at have functionality but.they are more looks than anything for us.

Living in a snowy place has its perks winter is a beautiful, beautiful season. But what else am I supposed to do? Walk to work? The tires just spin and spin and spin, not going anywhere. Even after carving a path for myself to the road using an emergency shovel, my tires still BARELY got enough traction to haul myself out. I got pretty badly stuck just last week doing that. This makes parking in downtown areas very nearly impossible, and if you DO manage to park, it's only because you've wedged yourself into a big mound of snow. It doesn't get picked up for a solid week or two unless it melts right away. When the city plows come through the first few times, they generally just shove all the snow to the side of the road. Who knows where you'll end up maybe hitting another car or in a big patch of snow. Sometimes when you're going up a hill, if you aren't going fast enough and it's snowy/icy enough, you can just stop going up altogether and start sliding back down. Sometimes even tow trucks can't pull you out, so it's not uncommon to see big construction equipment like backhoes pulling people out of ruts and ditches. If you slide into a ditch, you may as well give up immediately: there's just no way you'll ever get out. They may slide off the road and into a big patch of snow, which is generally impossible to get out of without a lot of digging and some kitty litter. Eventually they have to press harder on their brakes, and at that point they start sliding. Even cars with chains on their tires can have issues.ĭespite living here, there are still lots of people who don't brake early enough. Your tires have absolutely zero traction in powder snow. It happens most often while snowing or just after it's snowed, while the snow is still all powdery and fresh.
