Ya know since we are talking about this subject, have any of you ever listened to yourselves on voice mail. It is amazing the way we sound to others compared to what we think we sound like.

Hey good talkin to ya. What did Sirius close at? Somebody said auto numbers were coming in better than expected.

I didn't listen to the replay. Was my voice quivering??? Geez..... that is bad. Damn! Same thing happened to me in high school and college public speaking. Freakin Stage fright. Shoot! Was I clear at...

It is a very interesting concept you raised Charles. Emotions are rarely used as an advantage by many people. They are concerned with showing too much. Maybe they are afraid of them. I don't know. I...

Now that is cool! Stress is what drives people to greatness. You show me a guy with no emotion in the gym I see a guy who will never get anywhere at all.

Yes I know very little about media. Almost...

It really is fullproof. It has been used for generations in the gym. Here is a demonstration of the technique I found on the net

Oh and I will tell you guys the biggest trick I know to get the hottest chick you want. I definitely know about this. Put 900 lbs of steel plates on the leg press, put the girl on top of the machine...

I still have no idea who "they" are. Industry leaders in the drug industry are nothing I know about.

Yes I love to read info on radio. I am certainly no expert on radio or media at all. Some...

Yes I know that. Thanks dude

Quite honestly Charles, I choose NOT to listen to anybody outside the radio industry when I invest in radio. That includes myself. I am no expert in radio or media. It is not an industry I have ever...

Who is "they", exactly where did I say it was "your" alternate screen name, and I have seen the light and decided to listen to Newman's thoughts on the future of the industry instead of Mel's.

Oh boy, the alternate screen name is back. As an investor it is pretty easy to learn the future of an industry if you are able plow through the garbage on the blogs and listen to the people who know...

No, but it is pretty cool to see my message got through to some folks. The internet radio model is an extremely questionable business model and will continue to be as it has for 17 years. Pandora was...

Tell Me the EBITDA Margin. LOL You are trying to make me Famous Roadkill.

Adweek -

In a letter to the FCC, Sirius XM argued that the cap should not be extended and questioned the FCC's authority to do so.

"The price cap was suggested by the applicants for a defined...

Bloomberg

Patrick Reilly, a Sirius XM spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement that the company was “heartened” by the portions of the ruling in its favor.

“The surviving claims in this suit...

PS - If anybody suggests that Sirius should get into the retail business (which I certainly hope is not being suggested here) it would totally destroy their margins and put their EBITDA growth rate...

Retail and Radio

2 totally different business models that are best served in partnerships. The last thing investors should want is for Sirius to get into the retail business. That is why we see...

Don Imus dubbed Mel the Zen Master almost 20 years ago on the air. And the nickname stuck. He has only been called that about a million times in the press over the years.

Thanks! It was real tough for awhile but the near bankruptcy and the Lehman Bros debacle actually created the single best buying opportunity for radio investors since the Infinity ipo in the early...

Wow what's going on here? Guys I was just arguing about the business. I disagree with Spencer. My intention was not to make fun of anyone. Roadkill I appreciate your support but please stop.

You...

I think you meant zero barrier to entry Roadkill. While it could take hundreds of millions if not billions to enter the sat radio market, my 6 year old nephew can, without using any money, start an...

Roadkill - Short term bandwidth is going to be an obstacle for net radio. Verizon's has signaled it's going to tiered pricing like AT&T already has. Long term zero barrier to entry is the biggest...

Pittman was in radio long before his AOL days in the 90s. Bright guy.

Roadkill - Spencer is looking into the future and seeing all these millions of radio listeners on smartphones. I guess he figures if Pandora can get to the 25% of revenue figure on royalties they are...
