Netflix (NFLX) has fallen about 35% over the past year, while the S&P 500 returned about 17%. The complaint is simple.

Netflix has shed more than a third of its value over the past year, yet a billionaire who once lost $400 million betting on this exact stock just bought back in, and the reasoning behind his conviction is harder to dismiss than you might expect.
