Great post's SRK! What is your take on what might happen with Liberty and potential ownership?
Question number 3: If you had to: Charlie Gasparino or Dennis Kneale? Killing yourself is not an acceptable answer.
I think I would have to kill myself. Or be on life-support.
here's the whole shebang:

MODERATOR: So Mel was here this morning and he told me to ask you this question, a question I asked him. Uhh, you’ve got a 40% stake in umm in Sirius.
MALONE: Um-hm.
MODERATOR: And its obviously worked out very well for you, we calculated like a 12 million % return, um, but in any case if you increase your stake above 50 . . .
MALONE: Well I think the return’s gotta be infinite doesn’t it?
MODERATOR: (laughs)
MALONE: I mean since we got all our money back and we still own it.
MODERATOR: Right, so its been a great investment
MALONE: Um-hm
MODERATOR: However we calculate. And um
MALONE: Thank you Mel (mock shouting)
MODERATOR: And uh, . . . he’s done a great job . . . but if you increase your stake above 50% that would jeopardize their 8 Billion in NOL’s
MALONE: Well we can't contractually . . . at the present time we’re barred from going into hard control of it for some period of time, I don’t remember what it is, but its all been disclosed publicly, um, so for some period of time, ya know, we have to be happy to be less than majority owner of it. Uh, as our ownership stake changes it can impact, uh, the usefulness of their NOL and so that has to, um, be watched.
MODERATOR: Right, well Mel said it was March 2012 so . . . but in any case
MALONE: Well March 2012 I believe is the last point at which we have any restrictions on our behavior.
MODERATOR: Silence

The above interview (which I transcribed myself) is somewhat telling . . . at first John Malone says he doesn't remember the date after which Liberty can go in to hard control . . . but then when the moderator makes a mistake and says "March 2012" . . . Malone's memory suddenly improves . . .
Audience Questions
AQ: John assuming the LINTA spin, hard spin, goes according to plan what happens to the remaining trackers and on a sort of separate but related issue, in the case of Sirius, are there any advantages in doing a spin of your holdings?
MALONE: Well certainly, I’ll answer the second question first, we could follow the pattern of Direct TV with Sirius in which, ya know, we could presumably spin it along with a 5 year trade or business to meet the rules, put enough juice in it such that it would constitute more than 50% of the vote and value of the resulting roll up and do it in accordance with a prearranged deal very similar to Direct TV. That’s a possibility. That’s a possibility that comes up every time we look at structural options. We obviously have not made any decisions on that. We still think Sirius is cheap. We probably would like to own more of it. So I think we’re still in the create value rather than distribute value mode with respect to that particular asset.
The correct answer is C.) COS1000
Which of the following best describes the self-professed occupation of homer985:
A.) Bond Specialist
B.) Mergers/Acquisitions
C.) Pandora Public Relations
D.) Media Business
E.) Co-Owner of Sirius Buzz Website
F.) Arbitrage
G.) 32nd Degree Mason/Unemployed
H.) Both C & E Above
I.) None of the Above
I wish Homer would work for/with Siriusbuzz. I have tried, he can't be bought... or maybe he just expects more than a piece of gum and some pocket lint.
First, confession time. I totally tried to cheat. :p I attempted to look for past Homer posts for clues but found the Members list
was disabled. (WHY, Charles, why!!!) So I am going to guess by process of elimination. Out with I, H, C&E. Now I am
down to 5 possible. Eliminated A,B&D, just because. Down to F and G. Because 32nd Degree Mason is so totally off the wall
I was going to answer that. But then I thought, 'Julietoo, SRK is putting that one in there to fool us into thinking that's the one
because it is so crazy' Of course he would be unemployed, a bricklayer always works below freezing. :rolleyes: So out with G!!
So my final answer after much deliberation is F.
So, how did I do? :D
Julie
Precisely.
So you couldn't cheat.Quote:

If you want to find all posts by someone, that is very easily done. You can click on their name or you can do an advanced search with the username.
Here is the answer key for SB Trivia:

Who once posted the following commentary:
"How, this article should be removed, too many errors. Street.com already has removed their article. Apparently there is a sirius stockholder whos had enough, and I think is getting aggressive legally.
Ok, no research was done on either company before this article was written so Im goign to assume its a hacket job/bash piece. Sirius Stockholders are done with sites like yours. Just going over your head from now on.
1. "But Sirius XM offers many more options in talk, news, and comedy stations than what Pandora currently provides."
Content costs money, PANDORA CANT AFFORD THE ROYALTY RATES ON THE ONLY THING IT OFFERS, the same repetitive songs over, and over and over again. Pandora will NEVER have content with that business model, and I still cant find a way to make money as Pandora. Its not only NOT a sat radio killer, investors dont even consider them competition. Like saying Coke has competition from tap water.
2. Its NOT FREE. $1 a month for over 40 hours, then u only get up to another point. Premium service for allowing skipping, and NO ADS, it has annoying ads. If you want to stream it, be prepared to get added charges on your cell phone, and high data plans can be 100 a month with some companies. So this is MORE EXPENSIVE THAT SATELLITE RADIO.
3. Sirius has 19 million PAYING CUSTOMERS. Reports say that maybe 2-3 million users a day, very few are paying, and no one is loyal to the product. Slacker is actually better. LOL
4. Chances of monteizing an ad based free high royalty rate service is next to impossible. 30 million in royalty fees, no income of note.
5. You ascertation on my subs dropped is a logic flaw. You only have the conclusion, with no variables. Its like saying that wall is white because I like the color, not because of the white empty paint cans next to it.
6.Right there is always teh IPOD. Now streaming Sirius XM radio through it. Nope, no Pandora... sorry.
Ive debated people on whether its even competition. NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT IT WAS A THREAT. LOL LOL LOL"
Is it:
A.) RELMOR
B.) RELMOR DEMITRIUS
C.) RELMOR2003
D.) RELMAR
E.) TIM WALLACH
F.) CHARLES LAROCCA
G.) FRED LEE
H.) NEAL BARKETT
Stock Market Ideas For Monday, January 31
By Antonio Costa on January 30, 2011
I have been following Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI: 1.615 -0.0035 -0.22%) for a while and bought some after the major resistance level around 1.41 was broken. Honestly, the stock looks like it could go to $2 or even higher by the end of year. Nice growth, good expansion and management team. I believe the current uptrend is sustainable and I do expect that we will have a quick upward movement. Overall, the flux of news have been in favor of Bulls. I prefer to keep with my long position on stock respecting the breakout mode. After a strong runup since its August 2010 bottom, SIRI looks poised to rally again from this small pullback. Present technical indicators are in favor of Bulls.
A quick look at the technical chart :
- The bias is bullish in nearest term testing $1.69 but remains unclear in medium term.
- The stock still trading above 50 day and 200 day moving average, also a bullish sign.
- Back above the 20 day average.
- Volume increases on support levels (good sign)
- RSI back above 50 level.
- Money Flow-Index still climbing
- The +DI crossed up through the -DI last week – Bullish.
- Call Options Still going Strong.

Wow, look at this . . Lloyd and Candle/Chuck back in the Siri stock thread together, on the same day no less; I wonder when's the last time that happened . . . hmmmm, might inspire a future trivia question.
Good to hear from you guys!
