    Sirius and XM Satellite Radio Offer Dual Programming - Most of It Bad

    PITTSBURGH — XM Satellite Radio and Sirius are officially merged, and the new company, Sirius XM, began informing subscribers they will be able to select programming from both audio streams; also, their radios will receive programming from both (in most cases, at least).

    Unfortunately, the Holy Grail most sat-radio addicts hoped for as the result — the ability to pick and choose favorite stations from both services — hasn't materialized. Yet.

    Instead, at least for now, XM subscribers are being offered a "Best-of" selection of Sirius programming, just as Sirius subscribers have the option to select a Best-of package of XM stations. The problem is, most listeners are certain to agree that neither package is necessarily the best of the other service's programming.

    For example, XM subscribers are being offered the Best of Sirius package for an additional cost of $4 per month. The Best Sirius channels the companies have magnanimously selected? Two channels of Howard Stern; NFL games and NFL talk; NASCAR races and chat; Playboy Radio and yes, the Sirius channel for which all XM subscribers surely clamored: Martha Stewart Living Radio.

    Satellite radio aficionados will have to hope this ploy is merely a trial balloon to see how subscribers react, since neither company has ever had much of a clue about real live marketing. Industry sources continue to believe Sirius XM eventually will offer an à la carte subscription option that allows picking and choosing only what you want — and perhaps also paying for only what you want. But that's been predicted for the cable television industry for years, and it ain't happened.

    Inside Line says: Satellite radio's a great innovation. But the "benefit" from the merger of Sirius and XM so far is living up to our lowest expectations. — Bill Visnic, senior editor, Edmunds AutoObserver

    The negativity towards SIRI is off the charts......time to buy!

    Sirius XM soars nearly 17% on a day markets are off over 3%

    Posted Oct 24th 2008 4:35PM by Melly Alazraki
    Filed under: Major movement, Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI)
    After setting a new 52-week low, which is actually more like an all-time low, this morning at 21.5 cents ($0.0215), Sirius XM Radio Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) shares have soared over 16.6% to 29.17 cents ($0.02917). Yes, it is still traded on the Nasdaq, for now.

    It's been rather obvious why Sirius stock has been pounded: the weak economy, declining consumer spending, slowing auto sales, increasing debt combined with difficulty to raise capital -- cashflow problems -- and so on. But it's not that clear why the stock is rising today.

    The most obvious reason for the jump in the stock price would be because even the smallest change at these price levels is a considerable percentage jump. That's partly why stocks are usually delisted from major exchanges when they reach, and stay in, penny stock territory. But for now, the Nasdaq has suspended the minimum dollar listing rules until January 16, 2009 as the number of stocks under a dollar has increased four fold the past month.

    Another reason why there might be some optimism is a completely unsubstantiated rumor regarding a buyout. Over the years, Sirius has been rumored to be taken over by Microsoft, Apple, Google and CBS among others. Today, one reader suggested Disney is the one rumored to take over the troubled satellite radio company. Needless to say I put very little stock in this.

    If a takeover is out of the question, what can Sirius do to save itself? That's been the question on many investors' minds. To meet its cash needs, Sirus needs to raise capital -- by borrowing more money if it can, or issue more stock, as well as cut programming costs -- yes, get rid of talent. Even then its future is somewhat questionable.

    Demian,

    Where do you find those polluted articles? I wish you would stop posting the negativity. Most of us are already depressed and do not need to read this crap.

    - "Where do I find the articles?"

    I always put the link to all of the articles I post above the article - unless it is from a paid subscription service, such as Dow Jones streaming news etc., in which case I always note the source. I search for new articles about SIRI and XM using a variety of means including real time streaming news applications. I often times get articles before Yahoo or Google finance pick them up. Many of the articles I post are not even posted on Yahoo or Google. I encouraged Charles to create this sticky thread as a place for the latest intraday happenings, commentary, and discussion about SIRI. I'm not going to be able to do this as actively as I have been in the future, but I wanted to spend some time keeping it flowing until other people hopefully get on board to help out in posting the latest SIRI updates and adding to the intraday discussion. Apparently it is a thankless job...

    - "I wish you would stop posting the negativity. Most of us are already depressed and do not need to read this crap."

    Did you notice my comments above the last two articles? Look - I don't write the articles. I post the articles for investor/trader informational purposes. I don't post only negative or only positive articles. I post all of the articles for those that want to know what the latest news flow is for SIRI. I violently disagree with much of what is said and how it is presented in many of the articles that I post. When I find errors and mistruths in the articles, I contact the author. There was a very negative SIRI article from TheStreet.com's Robert Holmes the other day that contained some mistruths. After several emails and debate back and forth, he finally corrected the article.

    Do you only want to view good news about your investments? Do you only want to know what analysts say if it's good? Do you want to look at everything with rose colored glasses? A responsible investor does not stick their head in the sand and pretend only "good" news exists. It's important to pay attention to the news flow surrounding the companies you are invested in - no matter what it is. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away...

    Bad news can be good news! Through my years of trading/investing, I have noticed some things in relation to news flow. Many of these articles are written by people that are fed things by hedge funds etc. When the negativity in the articles about a particular company couldn't get much worse, it was usually a good time to buy. When things got overly positive, it was a good time to sell. When a stock would go up on the most negative news flow, the bottom was usually in. I noticed this with Apple. When Apple was trading near $50 during the summer of 2006, the negative news flow was off the charts. There was article after article saying how Apple was done and that the iPod was done etc.. It was relentless! Jim Cramer even had a barrel of Apples on his TV show that he would smash with a baseball bat. Herb Greenburg wrote an article about why he hated his iPod. The news flow couldn't have got any worse. That was the time to buy! Apple quickly rebounded and doubled by the end of the year. Then the iPhone was announced that following January. The news flow couldn't be more positive. The iPhone was on many magazine and newspaper covers singing Apples praises. That was a good time to sell! The stock tanked and didn't recover for many months.

    I have noticed this with analysts opinions too. When all of the analysts can't get much more negative, it's usually getting close to being a good time to buy. When all of the analysts can't get more positive, it's usually a better time to sell.

    I want to know the truth about what's out there so I can make more informed investment decisions and I'm sure that I'm not the only one on this board that feels that way. Remember that bad news can be good news and good news can be bad news.....

    I look forward to your postings as I do not have the time to find all of these myself. I will try to help out when I can.

    Thanks again for your efforts.
