NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) announced today that NASDAQ had granted the Company's request to issue new preferred stock in connection with its previously announced agreements with Liberty Media Corporation without shareholder approval.
Liberty Media's investment will be funded in two separate phases. Upon completion of the second phase of the Liberty investments, SIRIUS XM will issue Liberty an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of preferred stock convertible into 40% of the common stock of SIRIUS XM. Details regarding the transaction are available in the Current Report on Form 8-K the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009.
While the NASDAQ rules generally require shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities that are convertible into more than 20% of the outstanding shares of a listed company, the Company is relying on an exception in cases when the delay in securing shareholder approval would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of the enterprise. The Company's Audit Committee has approved the use of this exception.

Sorry, I guess this has already been discussed. My bad.
Dave99, I'd think that the shorts would have taken their profits and run by now. After all, how much more is there to make? So, if this is the case, who else would benefit the most by the destruction of satellite radio? If there is a conspiracy, I'd say it is the terrestrial radio crowd. With a SIRI market cap of around $500 million (pre-Malone), the Terrestrial Radio crowd hassomething to gain and everything to lose if Sirius survives and flourishes, as we all believe it can.
The market is a bloodbath right now and that is mainly what is holding us down right now. A good announcement next week(?) will help but the car companies are in dire straits and the projection I heard on CNBC this morning was for 9% unemployment by year's end. SIRI is a long term, fixer-upper for now. If you are a confirmed long, visualize it for what we hope it can be and use that to sustain yourself in times like these. If not, then I don't thinkk you should be in it for more than day trading. IMHO, of course.

Even at .13, we are apparently still not a bargain.
Aww come on, we need guys like "Siriusowner" around, if for no other reason than to tell him I TOLD YOU SO!in a year, or two.
To Siriusowner: Buy some more SIRI and, when it rises, buy a house with six bedrooms! :)

There are a lot of numbers coming out today and everything is unsettled. So overall the market can go either direction as the day goes on.
Shorters can pick on this stock at any level and there is plenty of room for them. The shorters will try and pick SIRI apart until there is more investor confidence in this issue.
Bill, I think that there are people out there who think that the shorting is a conspiracy to destroy the company. I would think it is more like a pack of dogs chasing a wounded animal and not necessarily organized so I would agree that it will continue to happen until the SIRI house is more in order.Quote:

Contrary to my previous post, I am not generally a conspiracy theorist.
No I am not a stock wizard like the rest of you here. I started doing this with my retirement check from my job which was $15,000.00. I have a bank of america investment account which charges me $7 a trade. My first trade was with LVLT after I read a tip from someone on this website. I bought 24,000 shares at .63 just before new years day then sold it all at 1.60 so I went from $15000.00 to $38,400.00. Then I bought 350,000 shares of SIRI at .104 which I sold it all at .202. then bought 930,000 shares at .065 and sold it all at .215 which was $199,950.00. Now I have to wait 3 day for money to clear my account from that sale on Tuesday. I want to buy more SIRI before 4Q meeting, I was thinking of buying 1,500,000 shares at between .11 to.12 as I think it will jump up again. No I really do not know much about this stock trading stuff, I did go to a stock trading software thing with red to sell green to buy with a friend that got me interested in stock trading but didn't buy the software. Not Working I needed to make money so I am not interested in long term as many of you are here so I buy and sell it all to make a profit then I buy back in but I have only traded stocks 3 times as I have told you. Why do you think I am wreckless in my trade because I buy and sell everything at once? Is that wrong to do?
As far as conspiracy - Yes and No. There are organized shorters and free lance shorters. Everybody has their own motives. About the wounded animal hypothesis - sure.....kick it while it is down.Quote:

I agree with Newman.....things have all ready happened a couple months ago. The market changes before the market knows it. And main street doesn't know it has happened until after Wall Street changes around. There is a tremendous time lag between what really is and what is.
I expect some resolution around early summer. Resolution....not necessarily a bull market.
You remind me of the Preacher in the movie Caddy Shack. He was out there in the rain playing the best game of his life and then got hit by lightning. ;)Quote:

Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Well everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in movies, you just gotta lay around

Prediction............Friday will be a green day for SIRI.

SIRI closed @ .125............ouch!
Ya, Demian, but considering what happened to all the other stocks SIRI held up really well.Quote:

How can you say that a stock that is down 13.79% today is holding up well?
It sucks........
I was speaking comparatively to other stocks in the market today. I am not saying that it is desirable. The NASDAQ is down -25.15 at the close. Yes, it sucks, but it did o.k. considering.Quote:
