I used to be on this board all the time, I lost so much money on this stock that it is not even funny. I now am a strong believer breaking even making a profit elseware.

Charles is right don’t bash the guy for being a 100 right. He is a techie and has a good understanding of the market

About damn time we got things stirred up around here. Keep it going writers and posters. A lame duck is just that. Oh yeah, relevance. Raise prices to what the bearer is willing to pay I say. More revenue = more revenue. I’m all for it. Put a new name on it for the new car buyers and squeeze every damn nickel out of them. No I”m not kidding.

I agree 100% and I am impressed that you branched outside of Bubba!

They need a major shake up in marketing or whatever they call it. They probably could of hired Crispin Porter + Bogusky for the price they paid Mad Dog. That is the ad agency behind “The King” (Burger King) and many other memorable brands.

Well, at least you are seeing the light. Except that BK is what Mel and Black actually want in the end which is very, very near.

It was a statement, my statement. No matter how you cut it, the article is clearly opinion based. Keep in mind it is the opinion of someone who works online for a living so, not only is it my job to have my finger on the pulse of this but, I also work with some of the best who tend to agree with me.

BTW the title was written the way it was because it is what I believe. It wasn’t to obtain traffic, if you knew me personally you would know that this article was a conversation that I had with a couple of friends of mine the other day and they said it was spot on and worth posting. No fluff added, just my exact feelings about Sirius XM’s situation.

I don’t take any of it as an insult. I appreciate the input of everyone… even the infamous stackpointer.

What hole did you crawl out from?

btw, I am not suggesting that you did this (wrote the title to obtain hits), but that is how it comes across to the reader.
also, btw, you should realize that you get all these comments because you site is relied upon so much, and the alternative, not having these comments would imply that your site was not as successful as it is…so take these comments all as constructive criticism, rather than an insult.

Charles,
You say: “No, that part is opinion… which is clear because it begins with “why” and it was written by me. So, it must be my opinion. The title does not say “Sirius XM Failed.””
Not so! “Why” written the way you wrote it without a question mark (”?”) is a statement, not the question.
That is why (note how my use of “why” in this sentence is a statement, not a question) your title is misleading, and I posted my post suggesting your article was written as if you worked for TheStreet.com or MotleyFool.com.
Obviously, I was using literary license to suggest you had job offers from them,…it was merely to point out that your article, particularly your TITLE, was written as they write their articles (and titles), to obtain hits, rather than to be honest to the content of the article.
I think you could have solved this whole problem by having a title that was a fairer representation of your article…

agree with most of your article. Their web presence lacks a lot, also their marketing. Hire some young people and listen to them. But there is little as simple as having SATRAD in a vehicle. And with so much content. THERE IS STILL HOPE!?!?!
