    rumors and such

    g'mornin' all

    I'm curious about this iPhone application rumor.

    More to the point, I'd be quite curious if the info came from the Fool's article "A is for Apple L is for Leapfrog" - below is an excerpt and link


    "There's the Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) (NYSE: CMG-B) mobile ordering program that came and went in January. A bug-free version was supposed to be out already. And Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) will finally release an in-house app to stream Sirius and XM Web radio streams this quarter."

While the percentage is in question of what each of them do ether way it is going to mean a huge increase to the bottom line. I cant stress this enough. They could lose 200,000 subs this quarter and they would still be getting more revenue then before.





    P.S. That does not include the ones that end up paying extra for the internet connection. While it will most likely be alot less in revenue then the other, it will add to it. I am willing to bet more people will want to be in before that report comes out, then out.
    Yes I am looking forward to this. that is why i bought more yesterday.

    John:

    My daily mantra, i added #8;

    I have a check list for selling....not until the following are met:
    1. iphone app released
    2. synergies realized
    3. although #2 is synergies synergies is one thing, but having 2 times the bandwidth WHO-AH!
    4. Liberty media...i think we just had 2 mergers in the last year
    5. When Mel and company say "We are profitable"
    6. Economy turns around (i think its happened but ill wait until its announced, and then wait at least another quarter after that announcement)
    7. Auto industry posts better numbers
    8. ARPU...up up and away

    I dont know about number 8. The only real way that is going to happen again is if advertising catches up with the subs or they do another rate (this time of the main rate) increase in 3 years. Advertising may happen but I dont think it will ever catch up. Also I dont put to much hope on a rate increase any time soon to include 3 years. Mel knows there is just so much the masses are going to pay for radio. That is also why I said before, I dont put to much hope in the Iphone app bringing in that many more subs. I know people are thinking in the millions, I would be thinking we would be lucky in thinking in the hundreds of thousands.


    P.S. That is why this time and the last time when they had a 20 cent increase in ARPU it was huge, because it does not happen that much, it usually gos down.
