Titan Pharmaceuticals (TTNP.pk)- I could not resist the buying opportunity at just over a dollar this week. I even sold some Gilead (GILD) long calls to add to my position of TTNP. Revenue should be rolling in later this year and a Probuphine update is overdue.
Celsius Holdings (CSUH.ob)- Still love the prospects of the company but I am not impressed that they still have any association with Red Chip. For a company that is starting to grab a foothold in the mainstream, it's time to start acting like a big player and ignore investor conferences hosting by the clowns at Red Chip.
Capstone Turbine (CPST)- A rise above a dollar was long overdue for Capstone Turbine, the maker of low emission microturbines, and the stock jumped over 70% on news that one of its smaller turbines was successfully tested in a Ford (F) vehicle. I've always seen the potential of Capstone, but the company needs to figure out a way to turn its technology into a profitable business. Five years down the line, the current trading prices could look like a steal.
EpiCept (EPCT)- The stock nearly closed at a dollar on Friday, but a Ceplene partner update should be pending and next week the stock will finally close above a dollar.
Medasorb Technologies [MSBT.ob]- I usually don't play with 'one trick ponies' (biotechs that only have one pipeline candidate) but for ten cents I took a chance on this one. Could it be another TTNP? Possibly, but I'll be happy trading this one on any good news release. The downside is minimal for only ten cents.
Manhattan Pharmaceuticals [MHAN.ob]- I previously called Manhattan Pharmaceuticals the next TTNP- a stock trading for five cents or left with the potential to reach a dollar. Volume has picked up significantly this week, indicating that a Hedrin update may be close. If the Hedrin deal works out for this company, even a move to fifty cents will make investors who bought in at five very happy.
Sirius XM (SIRI)- The Sat Rad company is laden with debt, but it's only a matter of time before the big boys push this one over a dollar. Was a great buy at five cents earlier this year on the news of a possible bankruptcy, but buyers now should soon be rewarded with at least a 50% gain.

hmmm? then I don't understand how that works at all (which I thought I did?) Looked to me that they where made an offer to Give up thier shares (sell at the current mkt price of .35) When they dumped thier last week or so, then, as part of thier Salary package they are offered "Stock" Options that they could buy back (a certain set number of shares) in the future at the cost per share of .35 ~ that looks like the deals that were cut to me? I guess I meant "Stock options" Not just "options"
(using .35 for an example)
I didnt realize til the end of my comments that I didnt call them "stk options" not being a smart a__ ~ (sometimes can't tell peoples attitude when posting:)
Your'e always wrong anyway.
Now stop your rambling

Mr. Stupid: Comments (205) FollowI agree that this BK might actually be good for Sirius. Weeks of waiting and wondering what was going to happen stalled sales. Now that the BK is done and that our Gov is backing GM people will start to flock for deals. I think GM will come out of all this a smaller but more potent company.
As long as SiriXM gets that 350m cost savings this year they are on track, even with lost subs.

Mr. Stupid: Comments (206) FollowThey (Siri) hasn't tapped the global market due to different tax laws. Yes, Mexico and Canada but Europe and Asia have different tax laws that Siri would have to conform to.

Sirius XM to roll out iPhone app in second quarter

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sirius XM Radio Inc looks to expand the reach of its satellite radio service with the second-quarter launch of an iPhone application as it explores a potential marketing partnership with satellite TV provider DirecTV Group.
The company, which had to sell a 40 percent equity stake to John Malone's Liberty Media to resolve looming debt problems, is looking for new revenue streams as its primary distribution outlet, new car ales, is looking "terrible" this year, management said on Thursday.
Sirius said the iPhone application would be available to its 19 million subscribers and to Apple Inc's 7 million U.S. iPhone users. It can also be used by iPod Touch Wi-Fi users,
"This is a large and interesting opportunity that will maintain our subscription-based economics while providing customers easier access to our content through means other than our traditional satellite-based platform," Sirius President of Operations and Sales Jim Meyer said on a call with analysts.
Sirius also sells satellite radios through traditional retail outlets, but it had a very weak fourth quarter, when electronics chain Circuit City, a major customer, filed for bankruptcy.
"There's a lot of opportunity for (Sirius) with iPhone," said Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce. "Unlike buying a new car, it's not an expensive proposition, but it's a tough time for consumers to be trying new products."
Based on January and February data, car sales for 2009 are projected to fall to between 9 million and 9.5 million, a far cry from historical volumes of 16 million to 17 million a year, according to Sirius management.
But the company said it was benefiting from "truly extraordinary" operating efficiencies following its protracted acquisition of XM Satellite Radio, which closed last year.
Sirius said it would post positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2009, the first year it would do so. It expects 2009 EBITDA to exceed $300 million, compared with the analysts' average estimate of $303.4 million compiled by Reuters Estimates.
However, Sirius said the U.S. recession made it impossible for it to forecast revenue or give a more detailed earnings outlook.
Sirius Chief Executive Mel Karmazin said he had held talks with DirecTV Chief Executive Chase Carey and Liberty Chief Executive Greg Maffei in recent days about possible joint marketing opportunities.
Liberty has a 48 percent controlling stake in DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite TV provider, and there has been much speculation of an operational partnership with Sirius.
"We think that there are opportunities to work with lots of partners, including DirecTV, on ways of adding subscribers for both companies," said Karmazin.
"It wouldn't be hard to think about the fact that DirecTV might be able to have a special package for many of their subscribers to be able to get Sirius at an attractive price."
