In an exclusive Satwaves Radio interview, Senior Investment Analyst Jim Goss of Barrington Research Associates offered listeners his perspective of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) and its growth potential.

Mr. Goss suggested that he is most interested in subscriber numbers coming out of the call Thursday morning. He indicated that Sirius XM should begin to see a return to subscriber growth, predicting that subscriber numbers would return to levels seen at the beginning of 2009 by the the end of 2010. This would indicate an increase of approximately 600,000 subscribers during this time period.

Another important indicator that he will be looking for is confirmation of continued synergies, resulting from the merger to improve operating cash flows. Mr. Goss remains bullish on the fact that company was able to add $500 million in cash flow during a one year period, pointing to the fact that this does not normally occur even with much healthier companies, and referred to the current environment as “very exciting.”

Mr. Goss discussed the fact that the automotive market remains the company’s main driver of new subscribers. He indicated that Sirius XM is penetrating into more models of new cars, suggesting an increase from 52% of new car models to 58% for the current model year. He also sees the new Certified Pre-owned Programs as having a significant positive effect.

Mr. Goss believes that the company would rather see its stock price recover on its own, rather than institute a reverse split, suggesting that the company is in no hurry to institute a reverse split at this time.

The entire interview can be heard on Satwaves Radio on BlogTalkRadio.

    Glad to hear that he, too, believes " the company would rather see its stock price recover on its own, rather than institute a reverse split, suggesting that the company is in no hurry to institute a reverse split at this time".

    This is a very strong indication of the positive outlook that prevails within the company regarding the potential for solid growth into the future. As readers of this site know from all my previous comments on this subject, I am a firm believer that the best course of action is to have the company continue to grow its way to strength over the intermediate term before even considering a reverse split. There are many exciting and highly positive developments that have only recently come on stream (developments within the wireless/internet arena along with expanding demand within the auto sector) and it would be premature to make decisions about the proper ratio and restructuring of share price before these important new influences have been given some time to demonstrate revenue growth and impact. It's all about the superb combination of unique and proprietary CONTENT found only on Sirius XM and the innovative delivery apps and seamless quality of audio found only through the technology of satellite/wireless/int... delivery.

    SIRI is now trading from dominant technical strength and projecting potential to rise above the 1.00 level on a sustained basis well before any need for a reverse split to avoid delisting on Nasdaq. (At least through mid March, and more likely then another six months beyond that date).

    I believe a reverse split might make sense sometime in the future - but only when this can be done from an aura of strength and not only as an action taken to result in a share price above 1.00. There are several valid reasons to possibly reduce the number of shares outstanding sometime in the future but there is certainly no need to do this prematurely - while the share price is rising on its own and showing great potential to continue to do so over the intermediate to longer term.

    DUDE. Get a GRIP! You're complaining about "OPPOSING VIEWS"????

    Are you F'in serious? The whole WORLD has been against Sirius for years now, and you're bashing Brandon for not being down about Sirius enough? Lol. Gimme a break. There are many pro Sirius people who think Brandon is kinda harsh on Sirius.

    And for your information, if you bothered to LISTEN to the radio show, the guy from Barrington was not over the moon in love with Sirius.

    If you want to hear negative views of Sirius, go to the yahoo bulletin board or read ANY mainstream media coverage of Sirius.

    LOL. You sir are obviously a paid short or bitter shareholder who sold too soon for a loss. Either way your post is a joke. :-)

    Good God man. If you want

    Good morning fellas. So - $.04 to adjusted even is great news. I really do like those numbers.

    Lets talk more about the SkyDock.

    Jerrold you are correct. but start ignoring. There are motives here.

    My only disappointment is in at time where most good companies are blowing the estimates out of the water because so called experts are afraid to put their job on the line and make valid predictions, this is what we got from SiriusXM.

    Fellas I am a Longer, but hope now that Big Daddy Malone and Dish start to put feelers out there.

    The R/S will happen prior to 4Q numbers because with 3.9 Billion shares outstanding and the ability for Investment Firms to make a buck daily this stock will never be able to reflect its true potential.

    I believe this is a great company but they simply do not have the cash to take themselves to the next level. This is a text book M & A to allign with a deep pocket.

    Sorry but that is the truth.

    We will all make money in the long run.

    I too am sorry, but you are wrong. I won't debate all day. You just are. We will see a steady rise in stock price over the next couple of weeks. Once the stock pops over a dollar it will not fall back under as long as the positive trend keeps going as it has been for months. That's all!

    I am sorry for saying this if you already know connorport, but topping a $1 is not the issue.

    The issue is keeping above $1 for 30 consecutive days to satify the delisting.

    The R/S allows Mel K. to negotiate M&A without that over his head. And I too believe in Mel's intelligence.

    REAL MERIT?!?!. I have been in the stock myself about a year before the merger in SIRI not XM. I started with 10k shares @ 3.77 and you know where that went. I also bought another 50k shares @ .11 and another 50k @ .06. I am a believer. I just don't remember any of you guys in any discussion during or even around that time. The discussions and information that was put out then by this what you call "pump it up" author has come to light way more often than not. You would notice if you followed and payed attention instead of bashing at every avenue. Nobody here doesn't want to listen to both sides. Trust me! What i don't want to hear is babble with no merit or proof. Show me that and i will listen, until then let me enjoy this ride. I deserve it!!!

    Finally!!! Advertising is coming for the SIRIUS XM brand. Now, I am sure Mel will focus on getting people to understand SIRIUS XM is all about great content! Not some silly miracle dock that people got carried away with. Wasn't long ago when certain people felt the SKYDOCK would sell because there was so much demand because how "cool" it was. Now, I can't wait to see some personalities connecting themselves with SIRIUS XM. Many people on this blog don't realize how little non-subscribers know about the product. SIRIUS XM must make it's brand name "cool" so people will want it, not just discover it when they buy a new car. Advertising combining with new inexpensive easy to install products like Onyx, Stratus 6, SKYDOCK will be great for future! They need to rely less and less on new and new car market to sell SIRIUS XM...

    You do deserve it everyone does.

    But i only started to come in here to see what the regular trader thought like me.

    Thats all just curious to soak up everyones info and hopefully put it yo good use. And yes to reinforce my thoughts that this was a good investment.

    But debate is part of the intellectual stimulation.

    I hope to learn something new everyday on this post, but it does become annoying when all you see positive and any negative thoughts are doomed before they are thought out.

    Just a comment

    26 million shares traded. Stock Range .645 to .672. Can we all now see the internal fight this stock is having?

    This stock should be rising, after all who would sell on such good news.

    The R/S must happen to stop the high speed trading (Investment Firm Day Trading).

    Debate is fine but just as you speculate a "guess" of this stock staying nestled under a dollar i like to look at real world events and trends to make my buying and selling decision. Before there was satwaves forum we blogged here. I just don't remember many people with much to say in the darkest hours of this company. All Negative. BK for sure! R/S for sure! I am truly glad i took the time to listen to real research and analysis from hard fact research that came from the likes of COS, RELMOR and this author just to name a few. None of these guys has changed their names with the exception of Relmor who has a cursing problem but we forgive him for that. Enough said. Lets enjoy the ride!

    Profit takers and daytraders! I said to give it a couple of weeks and you will see heavier institutional buying and more investors holding. Noone is saying we will see a dollar today. VOLATILE MARKET!! HELLO!! RECESSION!?!? Give it a minute and then speculate. My call stands that once SIRI reaches a dollar it will stay there barring catastrophic news of course.

    This is great news today! This more than proves that if & as this economy recovers Sirius Xm is in the front of the line to see the S/P take off. As bad as the economy is, it is rather amazing that Sirius Xm is one of the stronger perforimg stocks over the last 6 months. Yes content is KING and once the job market comes back more consumer discretionary dollars will be available which bodes well for Sirius Xm. The number of subs that are holding strong thru these trying financial times tells the story. Read the news time line of this company, it proves that the merger & the economy were the only reason for the slow up of new subs. With deeper penetration in the auto market, internet access and more product awarness from the upcoming marketing campaign we will look back at the last 2 years as a temporary road block that was out of the companies control. We will see growth in the upcoming months & years to come which will give the company the advantage to make their content even better due to operating from a postion of strength not only from a financial footing but also from potential content knocking on their door wanting to be a part of this future mamoth audio provider.

    Yes the daytrades are the ivestment firms using high speed trading to maximize return and minimize risk.

    Institutional money will not touch this right now due to its price. They simply do not look at these types of stocks.

    Look at UIS after the split and how the stock has now leveled because there are less shares and more holders.

    Well,
    I just finished reading the report- I must say that was plum enjoyable. Good stuff all over. I'm amazed at some of the improvements this Qtr over 3rd Qtr 08- some of those numbers are just incredible when you figure in the economic lull and bottom in March- right dead in the middle of the numbers!
    * Self pays- up 266,000 -up 35,400 from last Qtr.
    * Content costs decreased 29%, or $38 million
    * Subscriber acquisition costs decreased 17%, or $23 million, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 17% from 22%.

    And the best line in the whole document- "David Frear, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, "the company has dramatically improved its near-term liquidity and doesn't face any material debt maturities until 2011." ----In other words revenue for the next year- has a job to other than just pay off debt... sound like a hint to profit! Dolla dolla bill yall!!
    Great stuff.
    GREEN TRADES!

    The media has ripped this company and drug them over the coals. Where are they now? Where is Sirius Doom? Where is the negative articles? Cowardly not to admit that you all were WRONG!!! High chance of bankrupcy? WRONG!!! No material debt obligations until 2011. Think credit could not be refinanced then? WRONG!! This company is about to take off to the races!!! Now is the time to stand up and admit that you were WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!

    Give it up, Pell. In the wake of today's great earnings and guidance release, and the enhanced seasonal advertising that will begin shortly, analyst upgrades are sure to follow. You better believe institutions will become increasingly invested in Sirius XM (as many already are) because the tremendous potential that is now becoming apparent to all is something they are paid to respond to.
    Minor profit taking along the way should surprise no one but - make no mistake - the trajectory for SIRI remains positive and further upside lays ahead.

    If you are expecting a dollar rise today you are dreaming. You cannot be optimistic about anything can you? I don't know if you heard or not but they just announced the earnings report. SIRI Broke even for the first time in Satelite Radio's history. Q4 will be another breakthrough as they post their first profits in Satelite Radio history. They are moving quickly out of the hole when many institutions are sinking like bricks here. If you knew everything you needed to know about this company i guarantee you would not have the same comments if you truly are a longer.

    I am on your side but you don't want to understand that this is going to continue to happen until less shares are available.

    Enter SIRI and look at Institutional Owners- there you find a list of about 270-310 Institutions that own SIRI as of Oct 31st.
    They simply DO look at and own SIRI- Go look- Proven- drop that subject.

    On the other subject- I am completely boggled at how to prove to you share price and shares outstanding- have little to no relation on daytrading the stock. The daily volume correlates to how much trading goes on. If the share price was $3,900 per share with only 1 million shares outstanding- someone would be buying and someone else selling at least 1 share everyday. I have traded BRK.B's at just 10 shares in a days time. The heaviest traded stocks on the market are MSFT, AAPL, GE, C,- from $200.00 - $4.00- it don't freakin matter--- a 2% gain is a 2% gain.

    I realize you will not be convinced and will probably reply with a repetitive, rhetorical, or unrelated response. As expected as it is unnecessary.... You see- grasshopper- You must be willing to learn, before you can be taught...

    Look yourself again as a percentage of shares owned as well as when they were purchases. You may find it is a low percentage as well as paid a higher peer share value and are now in hold position hoping they regain the loss.

    There is legislation that is being pushed to reinstate the uptick rule as well as high speed electronic trading that you discuss. YES! It does piss me off but fundamental growth of the company will not stop anytime soon and the stock price will reflect. GS clobbers on the backs of every institution that has a dismal day. My point is that this company has been clobbered more than usual and has a higher climb to establish. We are only half way to a nesting point. These same institutions that flash trade will also turn into longs soon which will also help to boost the SP.

    Once bitten twice shy. Will take some time for shorts to get over shock and longs to get back in long. People will trade as frantically as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs until they see two quarters of solid numbers. Get ready for the holiday season pump and for analyst upgrades. That will move this bad boy.

    I believe that as outlined by Brandon on Satwaves that insiders have scheduled sales and one took place yesterday. If you look back at the graphs you see a fast 7 million share sale and the SP moves slowly down after that and only on certain days. After a sow rise it gets hit once more. There are only about 8 more of these sales left on dates that are spread out until march 2010. This data can be found at Satwaves.com. I'm sure there are also a lot of daytraders in this stock and quick money is king right now in the market. I am in no way a stock expert or analyst for this or any stock but i do pay attention to what i see. Many times you can watch a trend in other stocks that have been hammered the same way and make a fair speculation as to where we may be going. For example; The day news broke about Senator Ted Kaufman's crusade to stop illegal naked short selling we saw ETFC go from .75 to $1.50 in days and SIRI ran considerable at that time as well. You can read about this type of action at (votesmart.org). I believe that SIRI will steadily move upward for the next couple of weeks and the fundamentals will carry it to where it belongs. Today we have profit takers. Right now i myself am up over 600% on the stock this year but will hold until my time to sell is right. I today's market if someone can have a guarantee when no others exist then they are taking it. Faster trading is on the way with the multiple platforms that exist. I can sit on my couch and buy at .62 and sell at .66 and bank in 4 cents that's guaranteed. Why not!!

    If I am not mistaken, Mel stated on CNBC earlier today that he anticipated a run rate for auto production in the coming year to be approximately 11 million, with an install percentage of 50% for satellite radio capability. He also projected 50% of these autos would go on to payer subscriptions indicating new subscribers from this one source expected to be +2.25 million in 2010. Add to this the new subscribers coming in from new wireless/internet devices such as SkyDock, iPhone & iPodTouch, wireless tabletop radios, etc. and you begin to see the great potential ahead for 2010 and progressively into the future.

    This company will be a steamroller in coming years, as no other alternative can come close to the superb CONTENT and seamless delivery Sirius XM satellite radio provides.

    75 million shares traded stock range .6222 to .69

    Current .6462

    We need R/S people and this stock will take off with true longers.

    Or we need legislation.

    Either way something needs to be done or we will never see the real potential of this stock.

    Too many shares outstanding for shananigans (Don't know how to spell that).

    RAF I would think this would infuriate you of all people. With this amount of volume today it should be mostly buys. If the high speeders (Investment Firms) can continue with this type of spread it will never end.

    Pell: You may have noticed that throughout all your whining about this, SIRI continues to move gradually higher over time. We really don't need you to post multiple comments each time the stock backs off a few cents from progressively higher levels. High speed computer trading (not Flash) is a reality that all market participants will have to live with into the future - along with some advantages that affords. The manipulation occurs when institutions use this type of capability to run pre-set trades between in-house desks - in effect painting the tape with artificial volume that fails to reflect true investment levels from arms length supply and demand. This is a form of " Three Card Monte" and - hopefully - the SEC will crack down hard on this in the future.
    In the meantime - if you are really a "SIRI longer and voice of reason" - as you have told us all multiple times in recent weeks - pipe down and enjoy the upside ride. A reverse-split ain't in the cards any time soon.

    Honestly did anybody here really think this would be the PPS after todays results?

    Give me a little credit.

    I love this stock and know it will make all of us money. I agree to an extent to many of your beliefs as much as many think I do not.

    I want all of us to pay off our mortgage on this stock.

    But we as a group are focussing in the wrong area. We need a leader to help us point at this manipulation by high speed traders to someone who will hear. We need someone on this site to organize.

    Because without that the R/S is the only recourse and again that will not be bad either.

    In the long run we will make money off this stock, but it makes me soooo angry to see what happened to this stock which should have increased by much more considering the news. Not a $1 today but I felt $ .75 would be realistic.

    Can we all agree now that 3.9 billion shares of this company is hurting stock price growth?

    RAF we already discussed high speed trading and your definition is incorrect. Sorry. High Speed Trading is the purest form of day trading by investment firms. It was always out there you are correct and it will always be around you are correct again. But it does not affect other stocks where the majority of the holding are with solid investors looking for a dividend or appreciation over time.

    When it comes to stock that has saturated the market with available stock which lowers its value and creates for all purposes a penny stock, high speed trading manipulates it to maximize return with minimal risk.

    You are right that these are pre programmed orders to hit certain marks during the course of a day and when there are billions of shares available it will continue to happen.

    Reducing the amount of shares will put a stock to this because less shares will be available to manipulate as they will be purchased by real investors. If a R/S happens you will see an intial drop then back to split price follwed by gradual increase.

    I'm sorry but we need to push for the R/S before it hurts the way Mel does business. Trust me after the R/S the negative articles will stock because there will be nothing to talk about.

    Be thankful Pell that this issue did not mirror prior dysfunctional behavior- as no run up was seen to Q3 and a modest gain today was made. The market was up quite a bit and I hate to disillusion you -money was spent more wisely on other larger companies . No fear though -this is good- Siri is actually starting to act like a real stock re trading.Money will come back in on a down day.

    CNBC was a bit hard on Mel after the commercial re competition. He did well with the televised interview Poor guy though needs some better fitting chompers.

    Agreed! Or hold and ride the wave however it takes you. I feel we will see some upward movement. There are a lot of people though that have been waiting a long time in this stock waiting for things to move. Somedays you just want to take the money and run and dump it into some greentechs but something says NO! My shares are off the trading table for awhile at least. Worse thing ever would be to dump today out of frustration and watch in run past you tomorrow. If i can see $1.75 then who cares if i see $2 if i'm in at .11

    I've been in this stock for almost 5 years and experienced the same pain and (recent) pleasures associated with a long position. Adding substantially at $0.10. I've been following the discussions here for almost 2 years but never posted; however I find this forum very insightful, particularly the research Brandon does and posts. Great stuff! Kudos to him for doing this for the community here and reporting the good/bad/ugly on the stock/company. Its hard to find this elsewhere.

    I believe this technology is strong and has a great future in the new mobile economy. There are two things I've always been concerned about which I don't think Sirius is effectively addressing yet. First, how to coexist with terrestrial radio... I.e.. Do you think that they would offer channels via sat to local programming as sat TV has done (that was the big disadvantage when dish TV came out if you recall, but then they offered it and it seemed to be a turning point and made them more competitive with cable.).

    Second, how is Sirius going to address indoor coverage? I've been a subscriber for years and the service is great on the road, but pull into my garage and ...bzzzit! Its gone. Even an overpass cuts service temporarily. With the launch of another satellite recently I was hoping this might improve but none seen. What do ya'll think Sirius will/should do on these two issues to support its future applications?

    I must give it to Mel for his acquisition of XM and moving into the Apple community. Brilliant moves! I agree that SIRI will move above the $1 threshold before Q4 results. If the market is truly a predictor of performance 6 months ahead, its a no-brainer. No R/S needed! Let the stock heal itself then R/S well down the road.

    Long Sirius

    And I'll mirror other's thoughts. If you're truly long, quit posting to show off your egotistical "brilliance", shut the fuck up and let the stock do what it's going to do. Which it will regardless of what you think, post, whine or complain about. You've made your thoughts quite clear, now go away for a while, and let the rest of us enjoy thoughtful discourse.

    I don't think anyone here has a problem with dissenting opinions, but your constant re-hashing, repeated rants, etc. are tiresome and only show you to be a very small man. Take your rants elsewhere, until you have the intelligence to post something new (and dare I say, maybe even something intelligent).

    Last post and good advice Dead Elvis and Connorport.

    Scooterpod you have computer muscles I see. You got the wrong guy .

    I will continue to read and not post.

    I am truly long but somehow got caught up in the fact that noone here understands the problem of 3.9 billions shares outstanding with this company.

    However some do understand that SiriXM is prime canidate for M&A within the media sector. And when the talks start which will be tomorrow, Mel has to be able to negotiate (FOR US) with strength and no loose strings hanging. He knows this company cannot expand to where he wants it to go without capital and so far he likes Liberty and Malone. But they are both business men at heart so clean up your house before the bidding begins.

    Thats it I'm done for now and I do thank many of you for your insight. Sorry for relishng in my prediction glory. With 82 million shares traded in a day and no real gain it affected me.

    Somebody mentioned others investing in stocks with better track records. I agree and that what I want to see from Sirius.

    Last request, see how many companies have 3.9 billion shares outstanding and how they perform. I will do the same while I keep quiet.

    Thanks all again and I will be reading to help my own decision.

    True SiriusXM Longer
