⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Monitor NFLX for technical support levels and earnings catalysts. Insider selling alone shouldn't trigger panic selling, but consider reducing exposure if stock breaks key support or if broader tech sector weakens. Wait for additional context on Hastings' selling rationale before making major portfolio decisions.
