The World Revolves Around Sirius
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz
March 25, 2009
Things are going so well for Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) these days that it doesn't even have to say a word for positive things to happen. All it has to do is sit tight as those around it generate headlines that are favorable for the satellite radio operator.
This week alone, we've seen a few nuggets that don't mention Sirius XM directly, but have an indirect impact on the company and its fundamentals.

Going private doesn't mean that a company goes away, of course. Clear Channel is still a juggernaut. However, being private dries up the potential for raising funds through equity offerings or acquiring rival broadcasters in stock deals.
Satellite radio gets stronger, by default, as terrestrial radio gets weaker.
Along the way, Sirius XM shares have grown sevenfold since bottoming out at last month. Sure, we're just talking about nickels here, but as the wide array of headlines show, being nickel-and-dimed by small pieces of welcome news is not a bad way to get rich.
