Netflix, Amazon Battle to Become Year’s Hottest Stock

CNBC: Netflix’s “Jessica Jones” and Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle” debuted on the same day last month and are battling it out to be the most popular TV series of 2015. The Internet companies that produced the shows are in a simultaneous battle to be the best-performing large-cap U.S. stock of the year. Netflix has surged nearly 160 percent this year, and Amazon has jumped 115 percent, the only two members of the S&P 500 to double in value.
