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

Relmor, if Brandon wrote a piece as you suggest, wouldn't that be considered a 360 on his part?? LOL

BTW, thanks for your expert analysis and persistence through all of this. SiriusXM (if not all of us investors) is much better off with your contributions and those of all of the other senior members here: sl62, cos, ASM, bunch od numbers (John), Homer, Trips, Killer (and the dog), OldDruid, Wirestripper, Mogami, the Skipper, the Professor, Mary Anne and the rest!

Hi, If you do a 360 your pointing in the same direction you started. You mean a 180 where you go the opposite direction

Brandon...

Here is something you must understand. You walk a very thin line...your last line in your post says it all:

>>I never claim to be great at fundamental analysis. I'm not an accountant, but I do my best.<<

Look, this line is very disturbing if you are going to be kicking out actual articles that hit the wires. So given your own self-analysis, you are not exactly credible. When you are in a position of influencing the masses, it cna NEVER be good enough to "not be great at something but do your best." It is beholden upon you to be ACCURATE or nothing at all. Does that sink in??? If you admit to not not doing great fundamental analysis, you have no business EVER doing it in an article. On a blog with a IMHO tag, no sweat. I mean, Brandon, I was just over at your SA version of your article and some poor guy wrote that he lost sleep and was worried sick because of your article. Does this resonate with you??? You may not have much pull with MM's and experienced traders but the general investing public is all over you man. Given innacurate info that you author, you could cause some real harm to either someone's finances OR their own well-being. This is not a joke. What you should have done Thursday, was double check with us in this forum and gathered more opinions before you pulled your trigger on that erroneous article. Further, if you are going to generalize and write based on your opinion, you should disclaim all your articles with "this is my opinion only." Just saying Long Siri, means nothing to anybody. Brandon, you have to remember. Not everyone out there is like some of us here. We know (and continue to learn) how to decipher the junk. We are out in the community boards ripping authors for their bs articles. Most don't understand the game Brandon. They read what you wrote Thursday and could go jump off a ledge because of it if they were invested in SIRI to the teeth. You've got to realize your responsibility here. And as said, there is one perfectly easy way for you to still pump out your articles and remain humble (and responsible). It is by adding at the bottom (similar to what CNBC does with Clown Cramer): THESE ARE SOLELY MY OPINIONS AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. ANYONE READING MY OPINIONS SHOULD ALWAYS DUE THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE AS TO THE VALIDITY OF THEM.

Then you would be free to pontificate, extrapolate and whatever else ate, away... IMHO...

Very well spoken.

Brandon, I am not that articulate....Eat a turd. A smelly turd. Write about that.

I tried to let it go. Apparently, some of you just won't. You just woke a sleeping giant. I stand by my article 100 %. Got that? The fact that Sirius was able to avoid the conflicts that IT, THE COMPANY, SIRIUS ITSELF made public in a filing does not change the fact that it was EVERY INVESTORS right to know. Got that? The fact that you did not want public information made public is of NO CONCERN to me. I wrote the truth. I posted facts. I did not make them up or create them out of thin air.

My opinion on a 2 million net sub loss in 2009 is still valid. It is also my opinion and I made that ABUNDANTLY CLEAR in the article. Retail subs are STILL negligible. The Liberty loan changed nothing about that. Auto sales are on the decline and prospects are dim if the company continues to market its product in the same way it has for the last several years.

One thing you will not get me to do, is withhold information that is important to Sirius investors investment decisions. Got that? I'm not here to please anyone or only write the good stuff. Don't like it, too bad. I can look myself in the mirror. Can you?

I am a newbie at investing and have been following the comments from here and SA for quite some time now . FORTUNATLEY I have made my investment decisions based on the Truelly informed people here comments and not BS articles like the one you wrote , however I do feel sorry for the investors that do not follow the forums and only read BS articles like the one you wrote because I am sure some of them have prematurely sold their positions now . I suppose you are no longer invested in this company anyway since you stated " they would file for BK before the 17th ". You should have stayed in the corner like a good little boy !

What movie? Deep throat? LOL Are you they smoking guy on X Files? By the way Brandon, since your article has done zero more damage, I will not focus on your manipulation articles. I thank you again for having the balls to write that. It being read by even one person makes that person a better investor. Overall, you did good. Since that article didnt even get any momentum, or picked up on by more than the Fool, its water under the bridge now. Lets just hope we all learned something from this and we can move on.
