Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Criteo SA as long as the price is correct and the indicators that I describe in my book The Confident Investor are favorable. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I am removing Criteo from my Watch List as there are better companies for me to invest in.

If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor. You can review the best companies that I have found (and I probably invest my own money in most of these companies) in my Watch List.

Netflix Inc. [stckqut]NFLX[/stckqut] reported disappointing U.S. subscriber growth for the third quarter, as net profit declined on higher costs for content and expansion.

The streaming-video provider added 880,000 domestic subscribers, below the 1.15 million subscribers it projected in July and a slowdown from the addition of 980,000 customers in the year-earlier quarter. Overseas, the company signed up more users than it expected, adding 2.74 million subscribers compared with a forecast of 2.4 million.

Netflix attributed the downshift in the U.S., in part, to involuntary service cancellations tied to the company’s inability to process payments from subscribers whose credit and debit cards were changed to chip-based technology.

U.S. banks are replacing hundreds of millions of credit cards and debit cards with new plastic that has a computer chip as well as a traditional magnetic strip on the back. The chip adds security by creating a unique code for each transaction.

A sudden deterioration in Greece’s debt crisis shook global markets Monday.

Stocks around the world tumbled after a weekend breakdown in negotiations between the Greek government and its creditors left the country teetering on the brink of default and pushed it closer than ever to an exit from the eurozone.

Still, there was little sign of outright panic in the market. European stocks recovered slightly from early losses. Bonds in Italy, Spain and Portugal—highly indebted countries seen as vulnerable to the Greek crisis—also pared losses after initial sharp falls.

Greece has shut down its banking system for six days and imposed capital controls after the European Central Bank opted not to expand a lifeline of emergency funds. Charles Forelle assesses whether a bailout deal is still possible.

The Stoxx Europe 600 was down 2.4% midway through the session, wiping out most of the previous week’s gains on optimism that a deal would be done. Greece’s stock market will remain closed this week along with the country’s banks.
