☆ The secret to a Netflix movie's success? Don't promote it.
  + stars: | 2024-09-19 | by ( Jason Guerrasio | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
When Netflix released a rundown of its most-watched movies and TV shows for the first half of the year on Thursday, its TV rankings offered few surprises. (Netflix bases the data on hours viewed for every title — original and licensed — that was watched for over 50,000 hours.) That robust landing page has allowed Netflix to eschew spending tens of millions of dollars promoting many of its original films. AdvertisementOf course, that's not the strategy for every single Netflix Original. Here's another example of Netflix's strategy in action.

☆ A millennial couple who moved from Colorado to Massachusetts explains why it's much more expensive — and why they don't regret it
  + stars: | 2024-09-19 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
They were lucky enough to lock in a 2.79% mortgage rate when they bought it — the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is over 5% today. However, one non-financial factor began to lure the couple away from Colorado: family. Due to Massachussets' "higher cost of living," Nicole said the move has had a significant impact on their finances. For these people, buying a new home could mean taking on a significantly higher mortgage rate and monthly mortgage payment than they previously had. Lastly, while they live closer to family, Nicole said this hasn't saved them money on childcare.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday reviewed stocks that have historically performed well just after the Federal Reserve embarks on a cutting cycle and chose his favorites. Using data compiled by CNBC Pro, Cramer discussed the top 10 stocks with the median best performance during three months after an initial cut over the past 40 years.
