  • Sirius XM: An Early Black Friday Sale [View article]
    I wouldn't touch Pandora. It's not cheap... will $7 be cheap when it's $2? Take cue from insiders who are bleeding out of their positions every single month, and cut and run if you're in it.

    Heck even Rocco has now turned on $P after leading everyone into the fire....

  • Sirius XM Radio (SIRI -3.1%) spikes lower with news out Apple will enter its space with an Internet radio servive. The company that will soon be pulling the reins with Sirius, Liberty Media (LMCA -1%), is also tilting lower. [View news story]
    This is based off of a bloomberg "refreshed" story from 9/7 that was already known.

    P gets the damage from this. SIRI blip is a freak out buying opp that appears to be quickly returning to normal levels.

    Watch P to fight the $8 mark as resistance on this refresh of the news.

    SIRI has a moat, satellites, P and other internet radio companies have little to no moat. Very different spaces.

  • Sirius XM Investors Feeling Little Impact From Mel's News [View article]
    You were suggesting people "dump it" at $1.80 Pete... listening to you is a rather poor idea.

  • Sirius XM : Breaking Out At $2.67 On Strong Volume And Ready To Run [View article]
    Is it bothering you NINO? ;) I thought you sold out at what, $2.40? Did you load up a super secret short position ? Hmmmmm... hmmmmm? Where are your daily posts that flippers and day traders are keeping down the share price? After it hit your target now you're filled with concerns?

  • Investing In Sirius XM Is As Simple As Buying And Holding [View article]
    Hansa!... what happened to your profile picture? Someone shrunk you to Mini-Me size! lol....

    And you're welcome :) I think sometimes it's a good idea just to take a step back (I've said this before and will likely say it again sometime) and take in an obtuse view of things. Being acute is a excellent and quite often necessary, but in order to keep one's head screwed on straight over the long term, a much broader and more general view is often needed.

  • How Sirius XM Will Get To Nearly $5 Per Share [View article]
    I'm not stopping Karmazin from anything :)

    Why don't you calm down? You're hostile in your comments, gabriel, and it's unnecessary.

  • Sirius XM : Q2 Subs Give Strong Support To Skyrocketing Share Price [View article]
    Ok ok cmon guys... these comments really serve no purpose. All they serve to do is foster a hostile atmosphere and drive people away from intelligent discussion.

    I realize the same schtick is played out from several authors calling the SIRI longs all sorts of things, but it doesn't help when the same is fired back. It merely perpetuates the whole mess...

    Just pointing out that much of what you are stating and presenting as "basic fact" is flat out wrong.

  • Sirius XM: Investing In What You Know [View article]
    "No constant interruptions with commercials"

    It's funny. I have not had to drive a vehicle without SIRI for more than a short trip here and there for a long time. Well the past 2 weeks I have been in a vehicle without SIRI for most of the time and the next 2 weeks I will be too. I've used this time to test out other alternatives... SIRI internet app, Pandora, and regular radio.

    Regular radio ... FORGET IT. There are and offensive number of commercials and USELESS waste of space "DJs" blabbing about nothing and offering their similarly useless opinions about everything under the sun. Lucky to get 5 or 6 songs per hour for the frustration.

    Pandora, better. No DJs... which is a huge plus. Limited commercials, but they are still annoying. The thing that frustrates me with P is there is no fast forward, and only limited rewinds. I'm spoiled by my Lynx which allows me to rewind / FF as much as I want for the last half hour of programming. Song on I don't want? No problem... click, next song. Want to listen again? No problem, click, back we go. Pandora simply has 5 skips and that's it.

    Sirius XM internet app and Pandora app suffer from having to use mobile data. Granted... I have 3G and not 4G LTE at the moment but 3G should be plenty. Cuts out too much, swapping towers, etc. It's a nuisance.

    So last night I bought another Lynx car dock for the next 2 weeks because the alternatives just do not compare. Took 5 minutes to plug it in and pop the antenna on the roof yesterday when I got home and today I have my Sirius XM back. Yeah, it cost me $50 for another dock, but I was willing to pay that for 2 weeks simply because the alternatives, in the face of Sirius XM, are so inferior (in my opinion).

  • Sirius: Karmazin Killing This Stock [View article]
    Hi Neal :) I'm still around, but due to some concerns as outlined in my last article I am short term bearish / neutral on the stock. I'm still long term bullish but for right now, it's hard for me to write much about anything until the whole Liberty situation is hammered out. I've bought back in, and not attempting to trade it or anything going forward, as I'm stuck in a busy season at work and enjoying my free time on the side hiking (Just did Cannon Mountain today!) during the summer months. It's just too hard to follow the day to day right now. Besides, I'm no author. The extra cash is "nice" for play money but it's really not enough to keep me interested for the compensation received.

    The best I could do nowadays is hammer out a bunch of short term quick bearish pieces saying the same thing over and over but I have a hard time doing that, as I think there is PLENTY of that out there, here and other places.

    I will say that I am very relaxed about SIRI and the share price. If it goes down, I see that as a benefit where I can purchase at lower prices. It's going to depend a lot on the overall market. Watch for the "Greece" days as good buy points when SIRI opens and starts to drop and the market looks like it's in panic mode and is gonna drop 2%. SIRI may drop 5 or 6 % on those days.... great buying opportunity if they happen.

    SIRI / LMCA are the only two stocks I own at the moment. Everything else is liquidated until or unless I see some sort of change in overall market sentiment.

    Another thing... whenever the SIRI share price has fallen and the bear writers start freaking out and new guys crawl out of the woodwork with a quick piece here or there full of misinformation? Those have always seemed to be the best times to load up... Is this one of those times? Looks like it... granted, we may see lower short term pricing but I think these prices right now will look like a steal longer term.

  • Sirius XM: The $3,583,112,267 Question To Ask Yourself [View article]
    I guess I 'could' have said that they were holding billions in the stocks you listed. Do you have the 5 years worth of data to show if / when they sold or if they merely rode the numbers down? 5 years is an eternity.

    If you would be so kind as to take the time to visit the links provided within the article, or reference harakiri's comments below, you will see that institutions are in fact buying more as a whole than they are selling.

    "Don't look at overall amount held .... look at the change in amount held, which is declining"

    Again, did you make this remark off the cuff or did you reasearch the data and come to this conclusion? Shall the opposite of your statement be taken, then, and assume that the actual data is a very bullish facet of SIRI?

    Yes you can cherry pick the few that sold some of their shares, and spin it as bearish for them, but again, doing so is doing yourself a disservice.
