I bot 10K shares of Sirius XM and will average down if needed.
Well shee-it.....$3.92
I think I've seen this movie before.
......sigh... :(
Seems my prediction was spot on, except with the sp breaking DOWN instead of up.! 😡
LMCK fell off a cliff and put a drag on Siri. And so it goes...
Looking for news but can't find any. Anyone find an possible explanation?
Edit: and now it's back up again. Looks like a big sale hit and hen a bounce back. So very exciting!
Deutsche Bank article is intriguing for buying LMCA. If I read it right it is 10%/yr appreciation for Siri till 2018 plus the 17% current discount to value for LMCA. That's 47% appreciation by 2018 when Liberty gets to 80% ownership and could receive tax free dividends and continue their own buybacks to continue the rise in Liberty share value. What am I missing?
To bad he waited so long...he could have bought those 10k shares back in sept/oct at 3.15 area...he would have had close to a $9k profit by now. Very least he could have bought a few weeks back at 3.65/6 would have been up close to $4k by now give or take. Oh well...better late than never. :)
bdp this hit the news feeds about 3:15 today by AP shortly before the cliff originated.
Liberty Media misses 2Q profit forecasts

Weird thing is 3 minutes later AP posted this: Liberty Media posts 2Q profit
Its possible the earlier headline was enough to rattle investors and by the time the AP came out three minutes later with a more positive headline the damage had been done.
That may explain the quick fire sale and then recovery buying.
One is the fact that SiriusXM has been repurchasing shares at a larger percentage of its float than we have as of ours, probably creating, if not artificial, more upward pressure on their stock than on our stock
Those were Maffei's words today in the CC when addressing the NAV discount, and may be why Sirius has not announced an extension of the buyback. I think another offer to merge is coming after Live Nations CC.
I agree with your thoughts on the buyback and lack of extension so far....but do you really think there's another offering in the mix? If so, they'd better learn from the past and sharpen their pencils. It's gonna take more than a 10% premium to get the attention of a lot of long term shareholders.
But the more I think about it, the more that kinda makes sense...Liberty had such a lousy quarter and the only thing that saved them was SIRI.

I've never understood the logic of a premium for LMCA to purchase Sirius. You don't lose your shares you just get different ones of a combined company. Premiums are for those looking to sell out of a company they no longer think will grow or return $ to their shareholders.
