    Ur not factoring in any royalty charges or internet charges for Q3? I think with churn and self pay holding, there is an outside shot at positive earnings.

Remember, there were hundreds of lots that from Chrysler that will never need new cars again. Hence lowering the total cost to add new radios to newly built Chrysler cars at this time. Not to mention if subs go positive again. Which they very well could. Now comparing around 1 year out, so Q3 08 was terrible new car sales numbers. Just like Q1 and Q2 of 09 was. Now have 3 back to back quarters of declining car sales, hence the pendelum will begin to start impacting promo subs again, this time to the positive.

    According to the SEC filing today, they sill have over 200 million in cash payments due. That either has to include a sat charge, or they havent paid off the Dec bonds yet. Which if Im not mistaken, we still havent seen a seperate filing for. If Im wrong, please correct me. Are they trying to hide how little cash on hand they really have, by waiting to pay these Dec. bonds off officially. I know they have money for it, but have they actually used it to completely remove all Dec. bonds yet?

    1. Revenue that comes in for royalties goes right back out the door. In theory, it is a wash and will neither help nor hurt EPS.

    2. Self pay churn is stable, yes.

    3. Costs in Q3 are always high, and that trend will continue, especially because of oem production bumps. GM is counted at the time of sale, but COSTS happen at manufacture.

Test of .80 holds, test of .70 holds, IMO. I think thats our range today. If we can close closer to .80, maybe take it out tomorrow.
    good call relmor. i havent followed the intraday charts at all lately. what indicators did you use to come up with your targets? strictly volume?

    Cash payments are interest on debt and content..Bonds are paid off and no filing needed because last filing said new bond would be used to pay off XM debt which is what dec bonds are,so ne need to file,Tyler confirmed this for me..

    Tyler,actually Royalty money goes indirectly to bottom line as it is now expensed in and those expenses will be moved out and new category for Royaslty fee will be established in general fund..it will be a surplus counted as cash on hand..and also improve ARPU by same %.
    and unless you have inside info,no one knows details of new GM deal,but Mel said it would significantly improve bottom line for SXM.
    Also XM is deal with GM and new updated filing shows 5 mil in inventory of radios sitting there,so expense of ramp up is accounted for already..
