    Sure, they have an app that doesn't have access to all their content (namely Howard, the biggest draw of SXM by far). So, instead of being a great PR and marketing story, it now looks like some half-assed crap and they managed to make it appear subpar. But don't worry, I'm sure Mel has some master plan in place since he's such a genius.

    They are recognizing cost saving synergies from the merger.
    They continue to add to content as he said they would.
    They upped the rev expectations for the year and it seems on track.
    They said they would release the iphone app in the 2nd quarter.
    They are focusing on new subs outside new car OEM channel
    And they are focused on paying of the upcoming debt.

    We are optimistic here because we believe in the company and it's product. So I think it is important to have optimism or why else would you invest?

    im glad you wrote this, im a believer in mel because he keeps coming through, albeit like a flying fireing turd with his delivery!!

    this is what you care about as an investor...long term things look fin great.

    You're up 186 percent on your investment. He must be doing something right.

    Howard or not, this app is a great step forward for the company. Its more useful for current subs, true, but it will help with churn(another way to listen, 20 new channels not on sat signal, international capabilities). Huge. Howard will come. Apple on the "mature" thing not allowing it, dont know if I can believe that. I think its not a seperate app, its a marketing licensing issue Im sure. No way Howard doesnt want on the app. His ego is too big to allow that sitting down. And Mel isnt stupid, so he wants him on it. So theres something right now stopping that(legally obviously). Mature? Not an issue. Its a pay app. Cant be accidentally heard. The consent agreement comes through SiriusXM. You pay SiriusXM, apple is simply the deliverer. Like porn on the internet you could get from an iphone. Cant censor that, so why would they censor Howard? Opie and Anthony are filthy too.

You should sell then.Just my opinion, not a professional stock broker, and you should do you own due diligence.
    You don't think I own this stock? So, you think I have nothing better to do than find blogs and post for my own entertainment? Would someone who doesn't own it be so upset about its performance? I could give you my username and password to my e-trade account to prove it to you, but I don't think that would be prudent, huh.

    Hey, I used to be as optimistic about this company as everyone else here. But I'm becoming frustrated and losing my patience.

    I appreciate your advise on selling, but I'm in it for the long run. Just getting frustrated on the way.

    damm for somebody who's got a 3bagger you complain alot.. what you got $500 invested ???? and hoping for a 10,000,000 % return?

    i am totally baffled by you saying marketing themselves is all they have left. what the fck does that even mean???? so the car market is completely dead , they will never gain any more auto subscribers? especially when the market picks up? the marketing is not good IMO, but to say thats what they have left is absurd.

    i disagree the bottom line is not ugly. its getting prettier by the quarter.

    i agree with charles/ tyler this is an epic failure instead of coming out to HUGE FANFARE... TOTAL BUST. i for one am purchasing the internet stream. im sure others will also. BUT THIS THING COULDVE BEEN HUGGGGGGGGEEEEEE TODAY!!!!!

    remor i appreciate your passion for this stock. i own 100k @ .88 ...trust me i wouldnt want to bash any pumpers or people who want to bring this price up. but take 10 minutes away from your computer, and think how mel let us all down. ok , if we can speculate howard being on in the near future, it wont have the same impact as if he were put on today...THERE SHOULD BE NO DISCUSSION OF WHY HOWARD IS NOT ON THE IPHONE APP PERIOD. we shouldnt be having this talk.

    Nothing wrong with criticizing this stock or its mgmt. I am long, optimistic for the long run, but I'm mad as hell over this debacle today. The fact that they didn't anticipate this media churn with a solid explanation out front as to why Howard not included is what has me crazed. It's so bizarre, it lends credibility to some of the posts that Mel has something up his sleeve. I sure hope so. Because it's either that or total incompetence. If I had to bet, it would be on the latter. But, we'll see.

    I agree with your last 2 paragraphs. You are as frustrated as I am. As far as the bottom line goes, I don't think it is that good. They are tremendously over-levered. And they are going to have to address that sometime. Their debt is a dark cloud on the horizon. That's what i'm talking about.

    As for how much i have invested, it's none of your business. But it's an amount large enough to justify the amount of time I've spent on this site. I just haven't posted much until today. At my breaking point over the app release debacle.
