SIRIUS XM Stockholder,

You don’t know me, have never met me but you feel qualified to state that I have always been a jerk?

What is my hidden agenda, Good Customer Value and Service?

Grow Up.

What makes it difficult is that your posts sight boiler plate language from company documents as though it is news. It is the evidence that you give to “burst the bubble” of anyone with a more positive view on the company and stock’s price potential that leaves a reader of your post feeling flat to negative on your view. I still read them because I am always looking for useful insight regarding the puzzle that is this company….

Tim,
Why not just publish any company’s “Risk Factors Section” of their Prospectus, 10Q or 10K. Like going for surgery or taking a new prescription, its called Informed Consent and Full Disclosure before going under the knife or buying a share of a company’s stock. It is as John said above, part of the company’s Risk Management process and every investor’s responsibility to read it as part their own due diligence.

So to your point that the statement was made a few months back. The statement has been made ever few months as part of its 10Q, and has been for years. Nothing new here….

Fair enough, no prob… that was well explained. And yes, I will typically give people an opportunity to save face — because I dont want to come off as arrogant and pompous.

But as was pointed out to me a long time ago, message boards and emails can be dangerous for communicating… because it removes the human aspect of the communication. Where you can look into a persons eyes and see their facial expression — and know where they were going. But electronically? It’s so easy to miscommunicate — or misunderstand what a person was saying; it removes a key element of communication.

The worst is 2-7 off suit.

With 2-3…one can still make a straight.

Tim did you even bother to read the first comment on this article. It covers what you said, the fact is most companies have that kind of statement at the end of their reports. I think you call it a disclaimer. It helps in minimizing class action law suits.

bankruptcy is an option for EVERY business; however, it is the option of LAST RESORT.
everyone is discussing bankruptcy way too much here and elsewhere, however,…
and congress has no clue as to what bankruptcy is in their feeble attempts to force the auto industry into it.
if you understood what bankruptcy is and does and can do for a company, you would all understand that bankruptcy is not really a viable option (albeit, it is still an option of last resort) for the auto industry, and even less for the sat-rad industry (i.e., SiriXM).

however, I am able to trade in 1/1000’s on Schwab using my StreetSmart platform.
