Whitney Tilson of hedge fund T2 Partners just commented on Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings' rare move today to address his short thesis on the stock.
In a comment to StreetInsider.com, Mr. Tilson said:
"I'm glad Reed Hastings took the time to reply to some of the issues we raised. He made a number of good points and helped us -- and other investors -- understand him and his company better.
I think a friendly, respectful debate like this is healthy and wish there was more of it."
Earlier we received comments from another Netflix short seller, Manuel Asensio. Mr. Asensio told us he found the Hastings letter "extremely irregular and disrespectful."
