    heres what buffet said back in 1992.

    It’s not that financial wizard Warren Buffett said that newspapers and broadcasters would run into trouble – it’s when he said it. He wrote it in a letter to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway way back in 1992. His views were based on the difference between a franchise and a business.

    Jack Shafer unearthed the comments in a recent article for internet magazine Slate.

    Buffett said that to qualify as a franchise a business must be blessed with three things: something desired; something with no close substitute, and the absence of pricing regulation. The presence of the first two coupled with the absence of the third means the corporation will be able to set its price and customers will pay it.

    Gallep,we already posted a profit in 4Q(first time ever),it was like 19k i think in FCF(free cash flow) and gross profit EBITDA(Earnings Before Interset Taxes Depreciation Adjustment) so i am fully expecting at least that for 1Q and guidance for greater than 300mil EBITDA for 2009 which was called for in Annual CC.with all the early sign ups and online feed money combined with Best of signups we should see in my opinion about 1 mil FCF or better for 1Q.
    it could be alot higher,just don't know numbers..

    "What you'll never hear discussed is profit. There's a reason why: Sirius XM has never, ever, made it before. Not a single dime. Ever."

    Tim good quote,it is the reason i bought into SiriusXM after merger and any company for that matter..I take that quote as the gospel for finding Value companies in this crazy market..Monopolies in a subscription based bussiness model are like the utilities were before deregulation.You need it and you'll pay for it,especially after FM radio goes by the wayside like AM radio for Music.
