When Netflix reports earnings this week investors shouldagain be prepared for volatility, which could prove to be an opportunity, saysSerge Berger.

Historically, Netflix stock has been very volatile afterearnings reports. Last quarter, shares dropped 25% when investors weredisappointed by lower-than-expected subscriber growth.

Serge Berger, also known as The Steady Trader, says all eyeswill once again be on subscriber growth, when the results come out on January20 after market close. 

Another factor to look out for is how well Netflix hasexpanded into Western Europe, where the Internet streaming service was madeavailable in six new countries and any further plans for expansion.

If there is good news from Netflix and the past is anythingto go by, shares may rise as they did on last year’s first quarter results,when the stock soared 16% on better-than-expected earnings.
