dish HIGHER churn, loosing subs, loosing more money....Ergen is very smart. he saw the huge cash engine that siri xm will be in a year or two. Liberty Media saw it also. all we need to do is get past this year. it is a big undertaking in the worst economy since the depression in 1929.
if anyone can navigage thru these difficult times MEL CAN. BY THE WAY MEL'S CONTRACT with ends in dec 2009. anyone notice he did not receive any options, cash bonus or anything following the impossible task of the merger and then getting the deal with Liberty. he could have and he could have weathered the storm of adversity but he held tight. unlike THE bankers.
So, they are timing the market ? I doubt it... Besides, in this environment do you really think two or three weeks will make a difference ?
Assuming for a moment that all your speculation is true and the stock does run up, what makes you think the stock spike will hold ? Did it hold when they announced the deal with Malone ?
The only reason they postponed is because they are letting the market fully digest the Malone deal and at the same time, the "good news" are not actually that good.

I don't think one can speculate with any confidence either way. It is very reasonable to think they needed more time to digest the Liberty info as well as perhaps being close to renegotiating new financing.
I don't see why many people think this is bad. It's just delayed.
Last buy signal was on 2/26/2009 @ 0.13. After that the stock went to 0.16 but I never got a sell signal. So, unless something out of the extraordinary occurs before the end of the week, I may just break even on this last trade.
Next signal is a sell signal so time to sell not to buy.
Paraphrasing our ex-president "you are either a friend or a foe", "if you are not with us you are with the terrorists", etc...unfortunately for SIRI the foes are many more than the friends... and they are winning...and BTW, they are the ones that think that the delay is bad.
Everyone keeps talking about renegotiating new financing. If they were to renegotiate new financing that would mean that they could avoid the second part of the liberty deal, therefor staving off the 12% preferred "40% common" to malone? In turn avoiding further dilution???
I guess we will all know by March 17th.
Hoping it all falls into place finally!
