So anyone here think Brandons article has NOTHING to do with not Holding .13 today?

[relmor2003]

With the current economy and current state of the OEM's -- I think that $3BB could be doable by the end of Summer. Which would be about $0.44... but that is under current conditions. If the economy improves then more -- but if it worsens, then less (obviously).

I think $6BB would be in a year with the economy rebounding, the OEM's rebounding and the synergies fully realized... that takes it near $1. If growth comes back at a manageable cost on top of this? Then perhaps a $8-9BB MC down the line.

If Sirius ever hopes to get the pps to a price where Funds can buy it and really invest in it -- then they have to get the pps above $5. To do that, they need to do a 1 for 25 split this year. Yes, that drastic. That would take the number of fully diluted shares down to 272MM -- which would make the stock very difficult to manipulate. While leaving enough liquidity in it to keep it attractive to traders. While the current pps would only increase to $3.50 initially -- with growth, it would likely go above $5 on its own as that would only be a $1.3BB market cap. A $5BB MC at that sharecount would grow the pps to $18.

The RS has to happen with this fully diluted sharecount now.

Thank you Homer for taking the time to write this. You are a bit under my very conservative estimate. But not too far off longer term. I will copy and paste this post to the other thread for all investors to see. If you dont mind?

Get ready folks...

Fast Money is reporting a possible move upcoming that will suspend Mark to Market temporarily. If that happens, tack on another 1500pts to the Dow...

Personally, I have no clue why we didn't do this sooner. I think it's just taken this long for them to realize it's the ONLY bullet that will take pressure of this capital requirement issue, which is just clogging up everything. It's either that or let everything else come down farther to adjust to real-time values. How stupid would that be since those values will then be going back up. Why should we have to bear further pain when it's unnecessary and an ephemeral state of being anyway. Then housing bottoms and when mark to market is put back in 2010, capital requirements are more in line with less pain. What else can stop the shorts?? A: nothing.

News ive been waiting for, and why I am long UYG, and BAC since 3 days ago.
Wonderful news. About time. I hope they do it. I really do. Bad bank, somethign needs to be done NOW, NOT LATER.

Holy crap that is the best news I have heard in a long time. I also agree the Bank bailout would not have been so big if they would have just done this along with a few other things in the first place. This would do more to free up the credit freeze then the bail out did.

The only thing is I heard that before, I just hope it happens this time around.

Relmor...

All respect to Homer, but these numbers are not the gospel. Further, I'm not so sure about a strategy of reversing to $3.50, hoping it will reach $5. I would envision a higher ratio than 1:25. But spread the word if you want to..still many variables going on (hedges, et al). I for one, will not be relying on nominal fundmentals with this stock. I can't remember a time when they have much applied in this SP. MHO...and again, no offense.

No I know that. I just wanted everyones opinion that knows more than me heard. He knows more than I do, so I value the input. As do you , cos1000, and John. Im not saying my market cap opinion is worthless, its just not worth "more than his". But I agree, my views on the R/S I will get into later. Really dont want to jump right to that issue. Going to let this all sink in first, and enjoy my weekend. I feel .70 cents is not an issue if MM's allow true value, but they wont get it there "overnight" either.
