Sirius XM Hosed By GM's Bad News (SIRI)
Dan Frommer | November 3, 2008 6:20 PM
So goes the auto industry, so goes Sirius XM Radio, which relies on new car sales with built-in satellite radios for the bulk of its new subscribers.
So when the auto industry has its worst month, adjusted for population, in the post-World War II era, it's no surprise that Sirius shares took a dive: While the Nasdaq traded up 0.3% today, Sirius XM (SIRI) stock closed down 8.3% to 31 cents; it had dropped as much as 13% before recovering.

Good Morning people........
SIRI trading up a couple cents this morning - is it just another tease? What bad news can there be left to come out? Analysts say it should be a penny stock, car sales fall off of a cliff, shareholders are suing management, credit market sucks, more dilution, possible reverse split announced, sweatshop workers protest, consumer spending way down............
What's next? Satellite radios cause cancer?

Getting Sirius: Satcaster Charged With Racketeering
by Erik Sass, Tuesday, Nov 4, 2008 8:32 AM ET
The newly merged Sirius-XM satellite radio company has been sued by shareholders of the formerly independent Sirius Satellite Radio--who are accusing top executives, including CEO Mel Karmazin, of deliberately torpedoing the company's stock price in a bid to take it private at a discount.
The lawsuit, filed by a group called "Save Sirius" on behalf of 500 Sirius shareholders, says that Karmazin and other executives knowingly sabotaged stock values in a way that violates the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, as well as breaching the Fiduciary Duty and Sherman Act.
Michael Hartlieb, speaking for Save Sirius, noted that Sirius shareholders have lost more than 90% of their value under Karmazin's management. From a peak of around $7.70 per share in 2004-2005, the stock price of Sirius has declined steadily to about $0.31 in early November, a roughly 95% drop.
The lawsuit accuses Karmazin and other executives of deflating the stock price to make it easier to take the company private, through a number of measures including a prolonged merger process, failing to give other corporate suitors a hearing, neglecting to introduce interoperable radios and issuing XM shares to financiers who then short-sold the stock.
This isn't the first time that shareholders have taken up legal cudgels against the satcasters.
Hugh Panero, the CEO of XM, ran afoul of XM investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission for certain allegedly illegal stock transactions in 2005. A group of XM investors filed a lawsuit (later dismissed) against Panero and four other XM executives in May 2006 over the sale of $79 million of stock the year before.
Panero and the other executives were accused of issuing false forecasts of overall subscriptions and the average cost of new subscriber acquisition to inflate stock prices in the six-month period before they sold their stock. A federal judge dismissed the case in March 2007.

Sonos for your iPhone
Posted on Tuesday, Nov 4, 2008 by Chad
"...I can access any shared music files on my personal computer including my itunes library. Beyond that the music selection is near limitless. I can access several on-line subscription services (free 30 day trials included with the purchase). Rhapsody, Pandora, Napster, Sirius, and 1500 pre- loaded internet radio stations, all from my handheld controller(s)! I can search via all the expected criteria, and build Pandora stations right from the controller! The Sonos system transmits this data wirelessly from a sending unit my router out to each room, or “zone”. In each room is a Sonos receiver/amplifier connected to various speaker types depending on the specific room. This is where it gets fun. With the controller I can turn each zone on or off, select the music of choice, and control the volume of each zone independent of one another! I can “link” zones to have them all playing the same music, or not!"
