Sirius XM: Not Completely Out of the Woods Yet

During these tough economic conditions this concept could help this "Luxury" be more affordable by more consumers that our not able to pay the full price at this time. But get them on board so when times hopefully get better and they have more discretionary money they very well would move up to a higher tier. This would also put more of a strain on the NABers and I truly believe Wall Street would react in a positive way due to this aggressive strategy if implemented by Sirius Xm.

Sirius XM: Not Completely Out of the Woods Yet

Did not have time to listen to the conference call, but I'm hoping that Mel is looking at firing up the Idle radios (as he mentioned something on this earlier) on a lower level tier of some sort for of course, a lower sub plan. I would hope that if this is the case that this format would have Sirius Xm promo's peppered in to educate the low tier on what they are missing by not ponying up to a higher tier. If you can get a sub @ 3.95 for a radio that is just wasting away and w/ the benefit of using as a marketing tool why would you turn away from this concept. If you picked up 2 million subs (Just 10% of all idle radios) @ 3.95 that's almost $95,000,000 added revenue per year. Not bad for a marketing strategy that cost little and pays you back 95 MILLION with also the potential of moving the low tiered sub to and higher tier!!!

Sirius XM Should See a Return to Subscriber Growth - Barrington Research

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.

Oil: Supply and Demand? Hardly!

I'm truley surpised that only TheGreates... brought up NATURAL GAS!!! We know have with the new deposit discoveries(an tech to extract) in our own United States, enough natural gas to run this country for at least 100 years. Our Politicians and we as citizens should be ashamed of ourselves. We spend billions fighting terroists that are bank rolled by us buying billions of dollars on foriegn oil. We deserve what we get because we don't either care about watching our elected officials or we are just too dumb as a nation we aer too busy watching American Idle, Entertainment Tonight, or Sports. While going on hearsay when it comes to important matter. We create this viscious cycle and are doomed to fail. Yes a weak dollar is one of the main reasons for the price of oil being so high in cost. But yet we don't realize that under our own feet is the answer "CNG COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS". If we want to invest in a real stimulus plan this is the natural resouce that will more than pay back the goverment stimulus as we move forward with installing the infrastructure to get it to where it's needed and retro fitting vehicles to run on the by far,CLEANEST OF ALL THE FOSSIL FUELS (it is even 20% lower in it's emmissions of CO2).
So why don't we tap into our own natural resource? Could it be the way Washington has been run for decades know, where the big special interest call the shots because they have the money to fund the campaigns so politicians can get re-elected? It's just like the hugh profits the Banks,Insurance companies & Big oil interests at the demise of our once strong nation. "We Sit Back & let it All Be", that's right we as a nation are so divisive we will fall pray to the media, both far left and far right. We are not a united people that can have our own opinions but in the time of true decision making we do what's right for the good of our nation. No, we follow the powers to be that have their own agenda that we think that has our best interests when really we are ponds in a nation on a chest board that is not only made overseas but heading to a point where people overseas will be deciding what is the next move on the board. We have to wake up. It is time to realize that we are still 10 to 20 years away from being weaned off foreign oil. If we invest in our own natural resources we create good paying jobs, help stop the flow of money to terroist organizations, strengthen our dollar and best of all lower energy costs for ourselves and cut the costs for businesses so they can do more business by being more competitive. People wake up and walk away from the heard before we reach the cliff.

Sirius XM: There’s an App for That

Brandon, I agree w/ your outlook & potential for Sirius Xm's sub. base. The one thing this soured economy did was to frighten Mel & company enough to get them sooner than later to look to other avenues to sell their wares. Yes I do believe this new appl. & the Sky Dock are great start to a possible boon to the Sat Radio industry, but if you believe your words wouldn't you agree that sooner than later (X-Mass Season) you have to take the risk of spending marketing dollars. If Mel believes in the potential of this new revenue stream he has to get the wheels turning. So far bloggers have reported negative reports from Best Buy Etc. Let alone TV. They also need to educate the sales force at the retail level. The people selling in the trenches need to know their product! As an analogy, if you come up with the most fantastic product & hide it in a closet who will buy it? Yes I'm over simplifying but trying to make a very basic point.

Siri- Doom is Jim Cramer. Don't fall for the toupee!

Sirius Earnings Preview: The Worst Is Over

A simple question to ask ourselves. With all the negative press why has this stock performed so well in the last 7 months? With the economy in the tank Sirius Xm is moving up stream against the current, which makes me believe there is some real meat on the bones of this company. If we believed evrything written this stock should have died 7 times. Maybe the dog logo should be changed to a cat?

When Should Sirius XM Implement a Reverse Split?

"It's the economy stupid" that is not meant @ anyone in particular. Sirius is doing their part (a little marketing would be nice) but we can't fool ourselves. For the most part this comes to something out of the control of Sirius Mngt. which is of course the economy. If it should rebound (with jobs) then watch out this stock will fly. Know, if this economy drags on we will I think & hope at least reach the dollar mark before years end. The X-mass market could be a great help if some marketing is implemented, but I know they have to penny pinch, but sometimes you just have to spend money to make money. But if we should have an economic recovery w/ jobs, then this stock would be positioned to be one of the big winners!

When Should Sirius XM Implement a Reverse Split?

Cos1000, I admit I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I'm trying to get a real detailed answer to a question. There are many countries that are bilingual which the English language is their second language. Do to the internet and the and the I-Phone appl. are people in most foreign countries capable (if they so choose) to buy a subscription to Sirius Xm. If so would this not open up a potential market that makes the US,Canada & Mexico combined a smaller market base than these other countries? If so would this not give a potential sub base of hundreds of millions instead of tens of millions in the future? It may be a naive question but I'm curious enough to ask.

Brandon, again I'm asking the question, can anyone in any country with internet access (and a credit card) that is aware of Sirius Xm become a subsciber or is their limitations of some sort in certain countries?

Brandon, then anybody with a computer and a credit card and is aware of Sirius Xm that lives abroad can become a Sirius Xm subscriber? If so isn't this a very huge potential?
