NeuLion – next Netflix, for live sports?A few days ago, the Globe & Mail (newspaper based in Canada) published an analysis of NeuLion using the provocative title above. It was comprehensive enough for me to obtain a small position at 0.72. It closed at 1.07 today on the Toronto Stock Exchange. I would be interested in different opinions on this sector and company.
Thanks.

FYI: NeuLion HQ is a town over from where I live. Charles Wang, founder of Computer Associates, is Chairman of the Board and his wife is President of the company.
It’s a great local small/big company.
If you scroll down on this link, it gives you a good idea of their TV Sports presence.

This looks good. Strong margins, ties to major sports outlets, growing revenue and just beginning to show positive earnings. Netflix doesn’t want to do sports. Only thing I don’t see is any deals with Internet properties like facebook or Yahoo.
