I had to add this line because my message was too short!
Mine too. The value of my etrade portfolio went up about $1,000 just because of the roughly 5 cents a share increase in Sirius' share price today.Quote:

- RBC expects revenue of $2.6bn (vs. prior $2.7bn), with their FY2009 adjusted EBITDA estimate unchanged at $303mm.
This is a fair analytical report I think,but remember the 500k Best of buy in increased ARPU for 08,and if 1Mil took co. up on it in 1q 09 like myself it will be like adding 2mil or better netv sub rev...for year 09.(conservative)
Mel is getting cash from current subs to ride out bad year or 2 till auto industry imoproves...Smart
True, but ISEG is still taking advantage of lulls, to be the first always to throw up a lower ask. They should be the focus now. Need about 1000 calls to them asking why they hate their customers.Quote:

Because weve all seen 50 million shares traded and have it be mostly buys, and not move more than .01 cent in the past. So yes, this stock is trading differently. Definately.!!!!
I am talking about the 45 degree upward channel......Quote:

I'm thinking open-access?
It could have been a combination of things - the good news - maybe the SEC finally woke up from their drug induced coma...Quote:

The temptation to sell is growing the longer it sits below .25. The level II buy orders look weak compared to the 1 million+ sells sitting at .25. Really hard decision here for me. Profit is a wonderful thing, and I can secure thousands right now by clicking my little button. I know the upside but Im wondering how the dismal q1 numbers will effect the pps and if the high teens will ever been seen again.
Maybe I should just smash my keyboard into little bits, walk away and check back in 10 years.
Nice find. Interesting. Lot of information to go over today. A few more puzzle pieces will come in within 2 months now. Getting very exciting. July looks to be the launch area from Iphone. Expect Q1 report or sooner to have DirectTV tie in announcement. Should be no huge delay with this. Malone will want to capture momentum, and keep it positive till terrible Q1 comes out.Quote:

I think it is assumed that Q1 will be awful. If auto sales however begin to pick up , it will more than offset any negatives in Q1. I was at home depot this weekend, and could find ZERO parking...Spring fever brings with it a renewed spirit. Any positive oem data will be looked upon as beneficial to siri...Quote:

Rev's should be excellent also ,along with more cost cuts factored in...
JMHO
Don't kid yourself. Net subs will probably decrease on the economy and auto sales.Quote:

brandon car sales will get better, its already happening, you will see the sub groth starting to return in q2
I meant a negative sub decline,probably in the 100k range,which is remarkable in this economy that Sirius's bottom line will grow at high percentage..
in 1Q.
I find this piece of the Fortune article interesting:
"Asked about Maffei's musings, Karmazin doesn't want to be pinned down. "We could also have 130 more audio channels," Karmazin says. "We could go to Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) and say, 'Hey, Wal-Mart, how would you like to have a channel that's just for you?' We could say, 'Hey, Mormon Church. How would you like to have a channel?'"
Does anyone think they are currently working on something with Wal-Mart behind the scenes or am I reading too much into this?

"It's great news," Ralph Shaheen said. "It's actually a bill that will affect the consumer directly."
Ralph Shaheen of Shaheen Chevrolet has been following the bill closely for obvious reasons.
"It should stimulate car sales," Shaheen said.
So, how would it work? Currently if you buy a new car in the state, you pay six percent sales tax, but under the Senate's plan passed Thursday, if you bring a trade-in with you, you'll get a break on the new car's sales tax.
"So your not paying double sales tax, your trading in something of value that you already paid sales tax on," Shaheen said.
Co-sponsors of Senate bill 0201 said this is different than other attempts to boost new car sales because this incentive, they said, is immediate and puts money in your pocket right away.
"People are on a budget, we all are," Shaheen said. "It does make a difference, it allows people to buy more vehicle and pay less monthly."
Used cars have outsold new ones for months now, and Shaheen hopes this might be enough of an incentive to change gears.
"I think it would help new car sales, if it evens the playing field or not I don't have a crystal ball for that," he said.
The future of the industry and the bill are still uncertain, the legislation now heads to the Michigan House.
A non-partisan fiscal analysis shows this bill wouldn't lead to any meaningful boost in new car sales.
The "Michigan Automobile Dealers Association" disagrees -- saying it could be exactly the incentive needed to get customers back to the showrooms.
