    Sirius XM Radio OKs $2 Bln Stock Buyback Plan, Special Cash Dividend of $0.05 per shr

    I will be honest... i never thought this would happen. I don't think Sirius XM has any business borrowing money to buyback stock and issuing a dividend to shareholders. Can anyone convince me otherwise?

    Also, I was 100% wrong as I told people this would never happen. I am still shaking my head in disbelief. I guess a congratulations to Sirius XM investors is in order.

    On a side note, the trend of issuing dividends or special dividends is on the rise because of the tax savings. I suspect that maybe Apple will relinquish some if its cash. Maybe the telco's like Verizon and AT&T will issue a 1 time special dividend this month. Maybe Wal-Mart will too. If you guys love to make speculative trades, consider buying Apple, AT&T, Verizon for the possibility of a 1 time special dividend.

    Apple declared a 2.65 @ share dividend earlier this year starting in their fourth quarter. About time.

    Thanks man! We I suspect a lot of companies are looking into special dividends or paying them early this year. Let us know if you read about any others. It will be interesting to see.

    What's going on DM. I've just started posting here a few days ago too. Sweet SIRI news today. Too bad that damn lazy dog didn't get the message. He was probably busy licking his balls. Maybe he wakes up and we get a little pop that holds tomorrow.

This qrtr will be blow out. LONG N STRONG SIRI my friends!
