Anyone want my take on the "mystery emails?"

It is bullshit marketing hype that will never live up to be anywhere near as cool as you think it might be.

SHOULD COMPANIES CONSIDER REVERSE STOCK splits in these tumultuous times? Yes, says Adele Hogan, a partner in the global law firm of White & Case: "Reverse stock splits are a win-win for shareholders and companies, particularly when paired with a reduction in authorized capital. A reverse stock split gives companies a mechanism for retaining investor confidence and for weathering market downturns."

A reverse split reduces the number of shares outstanding and boosts the per-share price. Historically, it may have been viewed negatively, since it could be used to make a stock look more valuable even if nothing else had changed.


"Reverse stock splits are a win-win for shareholders and companies,"\

The full article must have something to do with SIRI because it came up under the SIRI ticker. This guy must have no clue about SIRI, a RS "IMO" would be a lose-lose for the Shareholders and the company! Shorts would have a field day and eat this thing alive...

Hopeful, saw that article as well. My first reaction is that the author is making a correct assertion, although what he/she states is incorrect. “ . . . when paired with a reduction in authorized capital” is the line that trips me. Reduction in market cap implies a stock buy-back by the company. Which I think few companies battered below a buck are in a position to do.

That being said, there is some merit to the argument that reverse splits may not be viewed as negatively as they have historically been. With the tumult in the market today, and no end in sight for a quick fix, there is a reason to believe that RS will not be the final grasping at straws for some companies that it was before. These would be companies that have some trouble in their current balance sheet but show a real promise for survival. At some point you have to take market cap into account, and for these companies there will be a limit below swhich market cap is not allowed to drop. SiriusXM is the banner child for this condition, so in that respect an RS may not be the end-all that we are accustomed to seeing.

The advantages of satellite radio


One of the great advantages of satellite radio is the fact that the programs are not interrupted by commercials. This is because the providers income comes from listeners and not from advertisers...

i agree, ton of hype.

as far as the rs article goes, what a load of shit. how many sound companies have done rs's?

Please stop posting the entire articles guys. A comment and a link to the article is fine. Its just bad etiquette to wholesale reproduce someone eases content.

ok................................................ ................
ur making it sound like im ripping off other peoples stuff, i could care less it would obviously save me time just to post a link, i saw that's how other people posted news so i followed suit. I guess it would be easier to not go out of my way to keep people on here updated with current news. Thx charles your a "cool" guy, its not like im claiming to be a journalist or im posting this as an original article, its just a tiny little forum with a few people exchanging info about stocks.

yea really.

charles, youre a bit too anal on this. nobody thinks trippin wrote the article, lol. nobody really cares who wrote it either. chillllll

A Websites success is based on the hits it receives. When you copy and paste the entire article, you are taking their hits they earned through good content. Its just bad form to do that. Charles knows no one is stealing anyones work. He just wants to play nice with the web community, and hes right to do so.

1. I was not talking to you in specific. I was talking to the entire thread. You were clearly not the only one and I edited quite a few.

2. ^What he said^

I am surprised no one understood why I was saying it. People really thought I was worried that people would think the poster was the author? WOW

I understand why you would want a link only but I like it when it copied under the link, some of the idiots on yahoo have been posting links to "siri articles" that are actually links to a virus, so if I dont have to click to read I think its better, but its your site and I will play by your rules in the future

i thought about that charles but you didnt say that u said

"Please stop posting the entire articles guys. A comment and a link to the article is fine. Its just bad etiquette to wholesale reproduce someone eases content."

Personally, I agree in part with Charles. I think it is much better to post a link to the article and perhaps a short snippet of the most intersting part(or at a BARE MINIMUM the title of the article if that is interesting enough), and then your comments.

I do understand about posting the whole thing though. When I am reading the forums on my iPhone, I don't like links because following them becomes a pain in the ass. On my home comp, it is no problem though.

I know what I said... it is bad etiquette. That doesn't mean that I think people will think that the poster is the author. It means its bad etiquette toe re-post someones content. In fact, it could be a violation of their copyright.

Hey Trip - I remember when TV was free to watch - you just had to put up with the commercials. Now we get to watch the "increased" number of commercials AND we get to pay to see them vis-a-vis cable or satellite!!

It just keeps getting better!! It is likely only time before Sirius adds "some" commercials to all of its stations ..... yes? no?

Would it be acceptable to post the first line or two with a link, as a teaser, which would encourage the reader to click on the link? That would benefit all, I would think.

In the Academic World, it is OK to cite a quotion from another body of work, so long as you properly give them credit for their work ( a citation).

I think a news headline or a few lines of small news release is ok, but yes, its bad to copy an entire page.

Thanks for the info on the upgrade of Sirius.

RickF,


Yes, Commercials on Satellite Radio music stations would suck, & it makes no sense. i dont think they will ever go there.

We get alot of content choice for our money (hence the balance sheet problem).

keeping my shares, as I build my holdings while its still a penny stock.

wont stay in this price range much longer. too many milestone events this year . I also believe a reverse split is imminent , later on this year -after refinancing occurs and after Liberty converts to common shares.

Make no mistake, Liberty has teamed with us for a reason. Spoken or Unspoken, there is a reason.
