    Fiat Chrysler sales as expected by TrueCar analysis. Solid numbers but nothing really new here.

    Edit: SIRI down in pre market.

    Chrysler, Honda, Nissan set sales records in 2014

    GM calls the month "Blockbuster"

    Chrysler Group said its December new-vehicle sales were best in a decade, and full-year sales were best since 2006.

    TrueCar forecasts 2015 full-year sales of new vehicles at 17 million

    Now SIRI will come out with flat guidance to push stock to 3.15 - 3.30 level to buy more cheap shares.

    Question/Advice

    Any thoughts about the LBRKR LIBERTY BROADBAND RTS CORP SER C EXP 01/09/15
    Got a call from Vanguard. Really need to decide what to do with them. If I do nothing the expire worthless! If I execute I have to come up with $40/share in my IRA. If I sell (was a high of $12 in Dec) I get the cash from the sale. In Jan '13 I sold my IRA siri and bought Liberty to piggy back on John Malone. I will be placing cash into my IRA so I'll be able to come up with some but not all necessary cash without adjusting holdings. As I understand it Broadband excludes the SIRI holdings. It's kind of hard for me to follow everything John Malone is doing with the companies (some of which have very short lives). I looked back and saw that John Malone lets the common (average Joe) stockholder to come along for the ride. vs. other's that just look out for themselves. I also like that Malone HATES TAXES! I hate the fact that in my business I do all the work the myself and after offsetting the yearly expenses I get to give the government more that 49% but just less than 50% of every dollar I earn. (state, Fed, FICA, etc...) not to speak of sales tax, property tax, licensing costs (vars,professional, business). Granted at a certain point FICA drops off but I never made a profit high enough to have FICA drop off.

    @brian... you're better off asking someone at your financial services company. They should have a group that can review this with you?

    @Muscle... did you see this today?

    The most unpopular company in America is ...
    MARKETWATCH 9:48 AM ET 1/5/15

    The most unpopular company among consumers is not an airline. And it's not a mobile phone company.

    The honor goes to the Time Warner Cable (TWC) Internet service provider, which placed last on the University of Michigan's American Consumer Satisfaction Index. On a list of 230 household brands surveyed, TWC scored 54 out of a possible 100, just behind Time Warner Cable's television service (56), the Comcast ISP (57) and United Airlines (60). Wal-Mart(WMT) was the most unpopular retailer on the list (71). The index scores each company based on more than 70,000 interviews conducted annually and uses a customer-satisfaction score, 10 economic sector scores, 43 industry scores, over 230 company scores, and more than 200 federal or local government service scores.


    Cable companies have come under scrutiny in 2014 for their rising subscription rates and lack of choice within the market. Cable bills have more than doubled over the last decade and the average cable bill is roughly $112 per month, including Internet and telephone, according to research firm SNL Kagan. Earlier this year, TWC and Comcast announced plans to merge. (TWC has approximately 11 million video subscribers, and Comcast has around 22.6 million video customers.) More movies, television shows and live sporting events being produced by one company means less competition and more seller power, says Samuel Craig, director of the Entertainment Media and Technology Program at New York University's Stern School of Business.

    Interesting Survey tid bit below...

    "Among paid subscription radio services, Sirius XM Holdings Inc. SIRI 1.2% continued to dominate with a penetration in the high 40 percent range. But net interest in new subscriptions to Sirius was zero, according to the survey."

    LOL! not for my small account. I did ask questions and as he said it's up to me to decide. I'm only at Vanguard because I'm named in my Grandfathers Trust - Thus his money generates free trades and premium services for the grandchildren. My parents don't need it as they have enough to qualify. And yes I mean I haven't paid a cent to vanguard since I switch everything over in April 2014 and have done well over 50 trades.
