Sirius (SIRI) reports earnings on Thursday. Wall Street does not know what to expect from this NASDAQ stock, which has had a rollercoaster of a ride this year.
The short position is rising, and currently stands at 4.7%. The price has been stable, but trade is thin. However, a number of related stocks - Emmis Communications (EMMS), Entercom Communications (ETM), and Cumulus Media (CMLS) have all been strong price performers in the past few days.

The R/S will happen and Liberty will buy.
I am Siri Long and have a lot of shares been buying ever since it hit $ .11. I am holding because i know the stock will go up after 3Q again and Liberty will become a giant with owning Siri.
Companies like Dish, Comcast and Verizon will not be able to compete with the kinda of total package Liberty would be able to offer. It may take years but Liberty will gain a good market share over these competors.
I am truly Siri Long.

Please keep pollution from contaminating this great site. You can start by restricting SIRI-Doom from all future access, as his stream of comments above completely reveals his motivation to impair the credibility of the site by continually providing misleading, inaccurate, heavily emotional and slanted rants that do absolutely nothing toward advancing the true value of the site - which should always strive to be a forum for commentary that provides meaningful input to those interested in the topics under discussion.
This is nothing new with SIRI-Doom: He/she has had a long and continuing history of misrepresentation - occasionally straying into slander (constantly calling Mel Karmazin a "crook" on a site such as Seeking Alpha is actionable for slander, in my opinion - and SA could even conceivably be held accountable for permitting this, as well).
For all these reasons, it would be a in the best interests of all involved - including Seeking Alpha - to have SIRI-Doom completely restricted from providing any more comments to the site.
SiriXM is a valuable company and in the obvious hands of Liberty or Dish it can be used to gain market share. And don't forget how the sports packages play out and the money that these companies have for R&D.
Just a prediction thats makes a whole lot of sense.
Experts also calling for lots of M&A in Media! But I said it first they said it today.

It is much too early to be calling for reverse-splits, and the like, with the stock now on the threshold of substantial upside performance.
SIRI is projecting technical strength and risk/reward substantially favors holding long positions at this time, as the upside potential greatly outweighs downside exposure from current levels. A myriad of favorable options awaits Sirius XM into the future, and - in my opinion - it would be unwise and premature to contemplate any reverse split before this could be done from a total perception of strength and demonstrated company performance. These two criteria will be realized, but it will take a bit more time, as the revenue streams and penetration from developments only recently put in place come on stream and build.
But DO NOT CENSOR. You don't need to lread his comments at all. Just pass them.
Brandon and You have been misleading the rest of the longers on how a simple accessory like SkyDock is a subscriber boom machine. That is not the case and you know it. The same with Blackberry availability.
So one may say that although SiriDoom may not be as poetic he does have the right to be heard.
Sorry RAF. But sometimes you really show your true colors.

The R/S takes away any leverage Liberty and Dish may use to bid lower based on the threat whether it be merited or not of delisting.
Malone already acted as a venture capitalist and loaned them money for the right to get a better look inside the company. R&D is very important for making this company great. They will only really take off when they offer SiriusXM products specifically to get SiriusXM Radio. Brand recognition. This company does not need Blaberrys or IPod or anything else. THEY NEED R&D MONEY.
Again RAF its text book and alll us longers win!

This is a simple business plan. I am a tru SiriLonger and would love to see Liberty take this to the next level. SiriusXM needs R&D money for product development for their own subscriber use.

Just for fun- I looked---- Have no idea when this story was posted- or why someone would harp on Tuna when Cramer hasn't hit a call in years--- but--- If it's still within a year Tuna's made some pretty decent calls there.... The worst first:
DIS has only made it to 35 recently- so yeah he's $10 off yet.
GPI- hit $34 last week- so only a buck short...
TPX- actually hit $23 so a +$3 on that one and it's been 20 ish for a month or more now.

Disney; with its strong fundamentals and leadership, could touch $45 within the next 12 months. Group 1 could reach $35, and Tempur-Pedic may hit $20 within a year
I am Siri Longer here so why do people ignore simple business strategy.
Or is this the wrong format for stating actual educated opinion? I am not insulting anyone with that statement but it is obvious.
People on here do not understand how high speed trading (Day Trading by Investment Firms) affect the progress of an upward trend to a penny stock and the simple fact that SIRIXM under its current model is incapable of funding any real R&D.
And finally for those like myself who use common sense, why would Liberty and Dish fight over who would loan SiriusXM money unless there was greater positioning benefit for future M&A.
Even all the experts within the media circle are stating there will be a lot of M&A within the sector.
All us longers benefit from these developments. Why is that so hard to understand unless there are shorter disquising themselves as longers trying to keep the price down?
Time will prove one of us to be in error. Let's leave it at that, okay?
Your right.
I should stop trying uncover people with alternative motives to help the naive. Its not my job.

Insulting people with whom you have no knowledge shows your immaturity. I have no motive whatsoever. I am where I am (long). And I know about daytrading, etc. My wife was worked at the CME and was directly involved with the development of their electronic trading platform and I have friends who day trade, etc. I'm not new to this, my friend so insulting me will neither get my goat nor cause me to recall my comments.
If you think my comments are hurting your investments, you have much, much larger personal issues that you should consider looking at.
Soap box off. We now return you to the regularly scheduled bickering.
