Sirius Weekly Thread Week of 1/25/10

My first "weekly thread" start; I feel like a player.

So nothing to talk about today? Man, how have we regressed.

On the other hand, I made a wicked pot of Louisiana Red Beans and Rice yesterday for tonight's dinner. Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner. My my wife is happy...........................................

SIRI is pissing me off a little. We get a nice boost last week only to come back to base by "death by pinpricks" (i.e. a cent a day). I would love to hold onto those gains.

A r/s is inevitable. At this point, I've flirted with losing everything; I don't give a $hit about a r/s. Bring it on. I' m in. I welcome the news.

Did you see the PR that Clear Channel is interested in Howerd. Total BS - just making SIRI pay more. Not a bad tactic though.

24 is coming on soon. Gotta go. Put some life into this forum and post something.

As of 10 this morning we are up 2.5 cents on big volume. Any ideas on what's driving the buying today?

Maybe: 1. Howard Stern seeming to indicate he doesnt want to go to terrestrial radio? 2. Lazard Capital initiates with a BUY and a $1 target.

Thanks Lloyd for the info on on Lazard Capital. We're up 4 cents now.

Nice to see it head up. I have to laugh about Big Ben's comments of last week that SXM was "dead money".

Big Ben has said in the past that he is in the Mortgage business in South Carolina. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of our economic problems were caused by the mortgage industry. So, Big Ben's opinions don't hold very much water as far as I'm concerned. He has been crying doom and gloom for months on end now. In that time, I've almost doubled my money in the market. I've tripled it in SIRI.

This is a very strong growing company that will pay off very well for any of us who hold on to our positions.

Keep the faith brother, a RS is not set in stone and I am doubtful it will be necessary. Liberty/ Sirius are doing all the right moves. Just wait.
imho

I agree with Candleman. Big Ben's "buy and sell" tactics cost me a bunch during this last bull rally. The stock I "bought and sold" was TCK. Yeah, I made money, but had I simply held, I'd have made a hell of a lot more. The stock seldom retreated during this time period making re-entry points hard to spot.

So after several months of bullishness, the market appears to be retreating. Rest assured BB will be here telling us I told you so. Here's my prediction - the sun will rise tommorrow. I will be here tomorrow to tell you I told you so.

Likewise if you bought SIRI 6 months ago and held it, you'd be smiling.

Good morning all, :sunny:

Great article found this morning. Nice to read an upbeat prediction.

Watching TV yesterday and Weather Guy cheerfully said, 'Get ready
for a cold blast this week! Temps will struggle to reach high 20's'
Nice. Just what I wanted to hear. Minutes earlier Propane Man was
delivering his liquid gold to my house. Haven't seen the sun in over a
week. Why wasn't I born in California. :cool:

Michigan winters SUCK!!!

Hurry Spring. :)

Julie

Good morning Julie and thanks for posting that.

Nest week I travel to Chicago for a week. Guess I'll have to bundle up, eh?

Thanks for that Chuck. :) Still have that cruel streak running through
you I see. ;)

That was a beautiful close just a hair above 74 cents.

S&P raised SIRI to a B rating today. And Wunderlich started us as a buy today.

Things are looking very good for our company!

Yes Ben, you were wrong. This is not dead money, it's a great investment!

Nice day, and we're finally seeing multiple sources of favorable news articles popping up. Even the idiots at "street.com" and the "fool" have been MIA with their constant bashing. Could it be, that many of the bashers "all" have a pretty good stake (own shares) in the stock, and they have no desire to see this puppy have to do a reverse split? I think so, I really do. Hell, 100,000 shares is a hell of a lot better than being left with 10,000 shares at say a 10:1 R/S. Sure, the new price reflects the split, but in the end, the "longs" almost always suffer in the end. A R/S no matter how anybody tries to sugarcoat it, is stil a negatively viewed event.

My prediction is that the usual bashers have enough money at stake in SIRI to not want to see this stock do a R/S. If we don't make the March delisting deadline and hit a $buck$, I believe we'll easily get a 6 month extension, and go over a buck in that alloted time frame. Either way, the fundamentals of the company are actually pretty darn good, especially considering we're in a full blown recession. All in all, things are looking up.

I'm starting to wonder about future competition for SIRI.. Last year, the first internet radios became available for car installation. They're pretty expensive right now, but like all new stuff, the price will drop quickly. You would have to pay a monthly subscription fee, but you would have access to tens of thousands of stations.

Don't get me wrong here. I am a big fan of SIRI. I still hold 30K shares, which I have been holding long - while hoping we break through that one dollar barrier. I'm also a lifetime subscriber to 3 radios - one in each of two vehicles and one in the house. So I want to see SIRI really thrive and grow.

I just wonder if the advent of internet radio in cars could herald trouble in the not-too-distant future. Of course, SIRI would be able to offer Howard, some sports, and other exclusive programming. But if you put that up against competition that offers almost unlimited selection of international programming, it could be a tough nut to crack.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Stiil hard to top commercial free music. Most folks drive an avg of 1/2 hr to work. If they are forced to listen to their local radio for the drive in, they are highly likely to hear a ton of commercials, along with a ton of nonesense from some morning DJ making failed attempts at humor. I've got Sat in my car, and I'm getting 30 mins of music for my drive. And if I need the weather, news or a quick sports update, I have it right at my fingertips.

Commercial free has always been the selling point for Sat Rad, and always will be. It's the advantge no other radio source can claim.

Im going to kill myself, sold at .76 from a buy at .621 many months ago and 5 min later its at 81.

LOL Jonpluc....the same thing sort of happened to me. I had set a sell for 15000 shares at .80 and it sold also. I can't even remember when I set that sell or why. But, I paid less than .40 for them, so I'll not complain about a double!!!!

I'll buy back in at the first retrace to .76 (well, I ended up buying those shares back at .77)

Big Ben called this dead money not long ago. I have to say that I just love dead money if this is what it is...
