In this video, I will be talking about the rumored Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) acquisition of Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU), as well as the pros and cons of such a move for shareholders of both companies. 

Netflix is going into the advertising business and Roku has a growing ads business. 
The two companies know each other very well since Roku was spun off over a decade ago. 
The deal might hurt Roku’s Switzerland status when it comes to streaming. 
The trading window for Roku employees has closed abruptly, which might indicate that these are more than just rumors. 
As a Roku shareholder, this deal makes more sense for Netflix, especially with Roku’s stock price down 80% and it willing to offer an ad-supported tier to its subscribers.
