Michael Hartleib interview on Fox Business.
No turning back now... :scared:
Very nice, thanks.
I wonder if this had any affect on the stock's performance today?
I don't see how it could of helped....
Maybe in the long run it will help by motivating management to do something?
Do something regarding what? (Sorry but I'm not up to speed on how people around here have taken to Hartleib's argument.)
Do you mean do something to deal with him? Or do something to fix the company? If it's the latter, I hardly think they are sitting around with their thumbs in their asses counting ceiling tiles.
He comes off to be a little bitter. Not sure it was a good PR move by him, but perhaps he is finally getting the attention he craves and will be gone soon.
whether you agree with him or not the man gets shit done.
Man that takes a lot of balls to get up there and claim that you've never had litigation against them in the past... while technically true, he really is splitting hairs. He has been up this company's butt for two years -- with numerous FCC filings of different types, getting involved with the previous class action suit (as a third party) so that it got dismissed and now with this latest lawsuit filed by him back in August.
Sure he never "litigated" them before, but he has been involved "legally" one way or another with them for 2 years... the reporters need to learn to ask the question the right way, so that he cannot spin it like he did. IMHO, that statement by him in disingenuous at best.
--------
Well now we know what a horses ass looks like.
:explode:
Maybe he can get his money back doing infomercials with kevin trudeau or that creepy guy with the pencil thin mustache that sells colon cleanse products.
Wouldn't it be crazy if this asshole was spot on right?
Look at all the people who were right on about the credit crisis, only to be brushed aside and called crazy. Now all those "crazies" are going to wind up with great new jobs.

IMHO, Hartleib presented himself and his case/cause rather well except when he kept repeating that he seeks accountability and accountability only. When pressed by the bobblehead reporter (who referred to SIRIUS as SIRIUM several times until she was corrected by someone off camera) who asked, "Do you want your money back?" All Hartleib had for an answer is accountability.
This tack, though presumably it is pertinent to the lawsuit, seems insincere to me. Why not answer, "You're goshdarn right I want my money back, but we also seek accountablity to the shareholders who also want their money back."
Harleib almost got to mention Mel's backflip on the Reverse Split, but he was talked over by the bobblehead.
In total, Hartleib made a good case for himself and his posse on FOX Biz Channel.
That Hartleib split some hairs as Homer suggests, seems perfectly reasonable to me, when contrasted with the hairsplitting, backflips and 180's performed by Mel "The Magician" Karmazin.
Hartleib is within his rights to color the story in his favor as long as he doesn't lie, which he did not where I can see.
JMHO, I am an unsophisicated shareholder of SIRI which sucks.
I am so glad you noticed that she said Sirium at least twice. I thought I was cracking up and had to rewind the clip.
She doesn't know diddlysquat about the company. She doesn't know its tumultuous and interesting history. If she did, she would never have made the error. No one ever calls it Sirium. That sounds like a pharmaceutical.
The reporter used canned talking points. The points she made were typically biased in favor of the corporation over the common man. How dare you question the motives of a bonafide company (Sirium) ? Everyone has lost money in this market!!! Move along. Nothing to see here.
As such, Harleib did a fine job under the circumstances. I wish he could have made the point clearly wrt the RS. Mel said a RS would not be needed. People know the value of a company. They are not fooled by a RS.
Now Mel says, Vote for the RS in case we need it. That and a dilution of shares. What he means is - Trust Me - vote for a dilution of shares and a RS for desert. Here, take this gun and point it at your head. It may have blanks in it.
WELL WE DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM BEING RIGHT.. HE IS PISSED AT LOSSES. I AM TO IM DOWN 20K AND I WAITED AFTER THE MERGER YOU GUYS THAT ARE LONG TERM GUYS ARE REALY FEELING IT:eek:
And I thought that I was just hearing her wrong.
Could Sirium be a deadly disease?
Caused by dilution, reverse splits and poor management.
Sirium Delerium - a neurological disorder attributed to the loss off 90 percent of one's investment compounded by potential dilution and a Reverse Split. Tourette's-Syndrome-like symptoms are typical - including irrational outbusts and cursing, mood swings, crying jags and suicidal thoughts. Higher occurance occurs among Unsophisticated Trailer Park Dwellers who spent a year's worth of beer and tobacco money on SIRI. Mel Karmazin describes the disease by saying "It Sucks". There is no cure in sight.
AKA Karmazin's Plague, Stern's Nightmare, and What's That Giant Sucking Sound?
^ Well done ^
DONT FORGET (MEL-CAN-KILL-A-SIRI-TIS)..
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE LOSS OF BODILY FUNCTION:puke:
EXTREME MOOD SWINGS AND RAGE :smash:
A SEVERE MIGRAN AND SPLITING HEAD ACHES:explode:
AND A STRONG SMELLING PILE O-:poop:
