Dont worry im not giving up just venting concerns :/
    Well, what they are saying on FOX Business News is that Mel is going through this pre bk business with his attorneys. He is trying to force Ergen's hand into a better deal. With that in mind, I wouldn't expect a single word from Mel.

    Ergen, they report, is trying to take control of SIRI and Mel wants all he can get. That is the essence....there are still 7 days before anything has to happen so don't get too anxious, because you will just work yourself up with unnecessary stress and you will end up driving yourself crazy.

    I thought about that...

    Echostar/Dish does not have enough money to BUY Sirus. Sure, it could be an all stock deal, but Echo/Dish still has to pick up the debt, which it cannot afford to do unless Ergen is paying out of pocket. No plus for Sirius here. The only way that this could help SIRIUS is if the banks decide to defer the debt based on the potential for loosing a large portion of their investment.

    ERGEN on the other hand, does have something to gain. Common stock plummets, and theoretically so do the bonds. Ergen could get more of the debt on the cheap this way or even the common, as well as potentially work deals with the banks to get debt at a discount.

    I think Ergen has more to gain from the BK leak than Sirius...

    i guess lvlt going up in the morning wasjust a headfake, could still be set to top as it acts crazy before it does, still could see it drop to .70's first.

    Ya, that commercial with the family at the football game sitting in a crowd with their snugglies on.....looks like Rash Naish cult members.

    100000 more, eh? You have a lot of information that you have been researching...so you know better than I.

    You are a brave man! I am a wimp on this issue. Apparently you see a lot of mutual funds investing in SIRI. Beats the hell out of me.....I just can't justify it in my mind. Good thing my account is empty right now. That way I can have a cooling off period.

    I missed my AIB sale by 2 cents today.......drats...maybe tomorrow.

    Ya, I was watching that and it seemed like it was starting on its way. I bet Tony got all excited there for a while. It just doesn't make sense to me why it just hangs there in the high .9x's. You would think that it be dropping, but it has sat there for weeks now.
