    Worldspace, Muzak both bankrupt. SiriusXM must be next?

    Do satellites and radio just not mix? Worldspace had little growth, and Muzak was just for businesses... But SiriusXM has content and growth and a huge subscriber base. I know the economy is horrible, but doesn't anybody see a huge opportunity in satellite radio to make an investment in it and save it?

    I know his history so I'm not betting against him. But it's just like the perfect storm the way everything has played out. What else can go wrong here.

    I'm pissed that I may lose my investment with SIRI, not surprised however. And the media, OMG. They love this thing. They're all on it like hawks, with their funny headlines. Lots of the articles are contradicting w/ wrong information. Everybody hates this stock, yet it's all they write about (especially the Fool, who I can't stand).

    They are not in the satellite radio business... they are in the content business. As soon as Sirius XM realizes this, they will succeed. They should simply call themselves Sirius and they should market themselves as such. Sirius in your car, on the net, on your phone... its Sirius EVERYWHERE.

    Be nice to see SiriusXm radios and subs sold on QVC. Maybe that is part of Malone's plans to buy SIRI? Imagine how many subs he could add?

    All I know is that if SIRIUS survives, I will become a believer and I will get in. A company that can survive this downturn will be very well positioned when the economy starts turning around.
