    Maxing up the CC ?

    Better than using margin... It gives you a nice time frame and goals for swing trading...

    SELL if you start losing money and TRY NOT TO KEEP the balance on your card for more than the grace period... otherwise you will start paying interest on it and the stock will not only have to come up to make up for the trade commissions but for the interest also....The longer you keep the balance, the worst... I have done it in the past with $10,000 USD with a annual 9.9% interest = $83.00 monthly.

    So with $10,000 you could buy 62,500 shares at .16 and for each month you keep the balance you will be adding about .001328 to the cost of the shares.

    I wouldn't max the card though, leave some room there. Buy only 50,000 shares, if you have a $10,000 USD in credit ? Sound like a nice round number.

    Keep a record and if you do keep the balance on your card for more than the grace period, do not forget to add the interest to the cost of your shares.

    FCC EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR SIRIUS XM CHANNEL LEASES

    WASHINGTON -- February 27, 2009: Today was supposed to be the deadline for Sirius XM to lease 4 percent of the channels on each service to qualified entities, but now the FCC has given the satcaster more time, acknowledging that Sirius XM doesn't have enough information to go ahead with the leases.
    Leasing channels in the interest of "fostering competition and diversity" was a condition of the FCC's approval of the Sirius-XM merger, and it was supposed to be implemented within four months. The FCC has already extended the deadline once on its own motion.
    And now, to establish procedures for Sirius XM to follow, the FCC is seeking public comment on a number of issues, including the definition of qualified entity, a procedure to establish eligibility, qualifications for lessees, the criteria for choosing among applicants, and the length of the required "long-term" leases. It's also inviting comment on whether there should be one lessee or several and how much capacity each of several lessees should be granted.

    Sirius XM has said it is willing to not be involved in choosing who leases its channels, so the FCC also wants to hear from the public on that idea, and on who will choose if Sirius XM doesn't.

    With all that to be settled, the FCC has extended the deadline until May 29.



    Demian, that is actually bad news believe it or not. I know you are asking why. Well as I said a long time ago that concession (along with the rest of them) was never really all that bad. As a matter of fact you could look at it as a plus for SIRIXM. Look they will get 4% of their content for free, Because while they dont get any revenue from leasing the channels they also dont pay for the content, that is left up to the people leasing the channels to pay for. So the bottom line is SIRIXM gets 4% of their content for free and you still have to subscribe to get those channels, THEY SAVE ON COST. That is one reason I cant help but think Mel did a great job. I say it again only Mel could have gotten this through the FCC with concessions that in the end for the most part actually benifit SIRIXM. I had put a thread out showing just this just after the merger was approved.


    Here is the thread:

    Monday
    The new trading week kicks off with Charles Ergen's two companies -- EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) and satellite television giant DISH Network (Nasdaq: DISH) -- reporting their fourth-quarter results. Rest assured that EchoStar will be asked about its failed bid to acquire a sizeable stake in Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) earlier this month.

    Does it still want a piece of the satellite radio company? Will it keep buying Sirius XM's maturing debt? There may be no clarity on Ergen's stance come Monday, but you know the questions will be asked.

    Cool A spike with no news?

    Sirius spikes 3 cents on absolutely no news at all? Precisely at the end of the day...hhhmmm. Some large hedge fund or maybe several , did not want to be a short over this weekend.

    Perhaps its the Sirius - Iphone Application? Something going to happen Monday?

    Sirius to be upgraded - maybe, we will get more movement there.

    Somebody knows something. Best off checking back on the stock 5 years from now. Im not selling mine. Im hoping to retire with my gains from a penny stock.

    Cool Mysterious emails

    Ok, think I figured out why we popped. A short squeeze due to the emails being sent out..

    There was an email sent out to XM and Sirius subscribers:

    "FIND OUT NEXT WEEK WHY SIRIUS MAKES MORE SENSE THAN EVER...

    1 Week sales event, 3 deals, 3 ways to listen"

    nothing else said....


    The three ways to listen?

    1.) Satellite Receiver
    2.) Internet
    3.) ?

    Whats the last way?

    in home i think, i dont think thats why we popped, it has alot to do with the bond holders and the fact that we have been underpriced for like 6 months now or even more.
