Tyler’s Take And Brandon’s Bet
SiriusBuzz.com and SiriusBuzz Radio are proud to introduce a new feature that readers and listeners will be sure to like. We have now launched Tyler’s Take, and Brandon’s Bet. These are mini radio shows that offer insight on the week ahead as well as commentary on a subject that we feel should get a little coverage.
Each show will be available by Monday morning, and each show will be between 5 minutes and 15 minutes in length. This gives SiriusBuzz readers and listeners a chance to grab a Monday Morning coffee, and get a brief glimpse of the week ahead. Additionally, you have two individual opinions to listen two each week, as Tyler and Brandon do their own pieces with their own thoughts and style. Catch one or both shows by simply clicking on the “Tyler’s Take” or “Brandon’s Bet” section in the SiriusBuzz Radio section of the site (right side bar). For regular SiriusBuzz listeners, these shows are run through our standard SiriusBuzz Radio platform.
This week Brandon covered the Merrill, Goldman, and Barclays news that was issued late Friday. Tyler covered the same topic briefly, but then went into an opinion on whether shareholders should want a “Poison Pill” for Sirius XM Radio. A poison pill when implemented makes it more difficult for a company to be taken over in a hostile take-over.
Grab a coffee, listen to the shows, and leave your opinions here as a comment.
Position - Long SIRI

Nice guys,
I really look forward to the shows, this is a nice little bonus, If i ever break even and sell I will still listen to you guys,
Tyler as far as a buyout at this point I might take it at whatever price. If BK is a real posibilty than what choice do investors have.

On the poison pill - seems like a good idea while we’re so low … my average is around 2.30. I’m in this for the long term returns really, so I’d prefer not to get bought out for now. I’ve been paranoid about somebody stepping in to buy since the merger closed.

Tyler and Brandon-
Thanks a lot for adding this extra feature to your offerings. With everything going on, and so very interrelated, this is very helpful.
Regarding the “poison pill” idea. I think that might be a two edged sword. Might it send a signal of fear within the company (which could be read as a negative outlook within the company) to the markets? Or might it have the exact opposite affect? Might it send the message to the markets that Sirius XM felt it had much to offer as an investment and, therefore, considers itself a worthwhile investment for a deep-pocketed company to acquire. If the latter were the case, I would think that a poison pill would give a three-fold benefit: 1) send a positive message to the markets; and 2) send a positive message to shareholders that they are being protected; and 3) send a message to potential acquirers that if they have any desire to acquire Sirius XM they will have to come to the bargaining table and pay Sirius XM what it thinks its potential makes it worth, not being able to acquire it at a fire sale price.
My gut reaction is that puting into place a “poison pill” by Sirius XM at this time might be the most prudent action to take, all things considered.
