SIRI Intraday Thread: Friday April 3rd / Weekend Edition

i think there is just not enough volume for the mm's to widen the spread. Too risky for them.

I thought the Starplayer was a dead deal??? Are you guys suggesting it is alive?

Good Morning All,

Going car shopping with my brother today, he's looking at Malibu,Altima sedans. I only see the Malibu offering satrad on the base or 1 up from base model cars. I'm always trying to talk up satellite radio because I love the service. But the car manufactures aren't making it easy. I know he would love the satrad once he had it, but I doubt he's going to want to pay xtra to get it installed. Why isn't it standard option on all these cars!!!

Johnny thanks for the help with GM stock earlier, good joke too!

Well your brother will have NO problem getting it installed for free. Just make it part of negotiating the deal. It's an easy add-on for the dealer, and in this horrible car market, they'll probably give you sat radio and gps to boot!

It is dated 4-2-09 14:00 and it clearly states "welcome back" and many of the pictures in the top right are of Sirius XM.

This is extremely excellent news. I wonder why Demian didn't post this first?

Brandon,

I do not understand. If MM are paid based on volume or number of transactions executed, would they not benefit from releasing this stock so to speak and letting it trade fairly? With a large price jump and some exitement I am sure the volume would improve (more money in their pockets), and also with the pullbacks that are associated with larger moves (also more money for them) or am I just plain wrong?

Baseball Press Release Just Hit!

Oh yes. Either they have decided to fight sirius in court, or sirius is backing them.

Considering they had no money, it must be a joint venture with Sirius. Just a few days ago, they installed new servers. This after they offered to refund money to all customers until funds were exausted, and announced their retirement from satrad.

1 game a day on sirius is better than nothing :/

[Hopeful]

Double post...

[trippingthespeculatingpos]

yeah hopeful the big news is that there will be a channel on sirius that will offer 24 hour baseball coverage and a game a day on the weekdays and 2 games on saturday and sunday. so sirius listeners will get "some" baseball as opposed too every game like xm subs get. I guess that's better than no baseball
