I watched the video. Everything went fine. There was final separation from the first 2 stages of the rocket body, and the fairings separated exposing the satellite to space (removal of the "nose cone"). It will take another 8 hours for it to reposition itself with the tiny little third stage which will separate.Quote:

Many multimillion lots going thru during the last 1/2 hour of trading. Not seeing them on level 2 so must be dark pool trades. The trade flow went from + $110M to - $60M.
F*%# I need some Alkaseltzer after today.
Thanks Geo for the update
280 Mil. shares has got to be a record, sure hope this is the bottom.
8/8/2012 there were 325mn shares traded and I believe there have been one or 2 days higher than that but probably top 5.
Agreed, hopefully the bottom or near it. Damn, today was a stressful day. The P&Fs look like SH#$T....I won't even post. They can turn quickly though. Everything to this point has been positive on the launch. Can't help but feel that this was the plan to take it down on launch day just in case there was a problem in addition to shaking the tree hard before the next stage of the plan is implemented. SIRIUS FM 6 may have more up its sleeve than we know. I think my friend RC has been beating that drum.......:iagree:

Hope all took advantage of these bargain basement prices! Buyback with Liberty starts Monday...glta
Glad to hear the launch went well. What are we missing here with such a big takedown? The GM deal and no Q4 counted subscribers has been known for a while. I sure didn't see that coming in time to get out high. Still all in.
backed the truck up at 3.71..........saved a little case we hit the 200d.......................as boomer mentioned , hope you all took advantage of the discount.....................
Bought a few more at 3.73 and 3.77. A bit too early but still good buys long term. An oversold bottom should be close....I hope
Will have to buy a few more if they continue to hammer us. The bird is in flight though and as long as things continue well over the weekend with FM-6.. we should reverse course soon.

@ST
Caught me a bit by surprise too and should have shed a few more at the top. Oh well......maybe next time.:googley:
Bought back in June at 3.31, 3.35, 3.52 on margin, I was up big time the other day, was going to sell day after call. What a difference a day makes. All the rest is in since .11, but I`m still pissed.
Anyone else find it interesting that the buyback agreement with Liberty has a floor of $3.64 and a ceiling of $4.18? Think we may have our trading range for the next three months? I bought some at 3.70 and have another order in at 3.65. :)
A man with that much money could control a lot of things, but something like this I don`t know. But like someone said, he got most of the co. for a bag of beans, that shows he can pull off some big deals.

Sirius FM-6 | Mission Success
October 25, 2013 11:26 pm (GMT)
ILS Communications Team
We have had a successful mission with the Proton M Breeze M rocket, carrying the Sirius FM-6 satellite built by SSL. We have confirmation that the satellite separated from the vehicle on schedule at 11:20 p.m. EDT, or 03:20 UTC, 9 hours and 11 minutes after liftoff.
Everything occurred as planned with ignition, shutdown and separation of the Proton’s first three stages. Then the Breeze M upper stage with the satellite continued the mission, igniting five times, and then releasing the satellite into transfer orbit.
Nice positive to end the day with...thanks denco!:thumbup:

:) Agreed Boomer....we needed that SAT to deploy without hitches after this take down. Great way to cap this tough week off indeed. Maybe we'll start to get a bit more color of things to come with the Agero acquisition/telematics etc..Quote:
