The Real Story Behind Sirius Capex and EBITDA http://seekingalpha.com/article/150823-the-real-story-behind-sirius-capex-and-ebitda?source=feed#comment-601449 601449
"He had previously put $24 million into open market share purchases at much higher prices and felt that a $30 million exposure on his own money was sufficient incentive for him to make this merger a success.
His focus is on executing on the business plan as it has been since he arrived in 2004 just after Howard Stern signed his agreement with the company. The subscriber tally was 700,000 then, and the stock was selling in August 2004 for $2. It zoomed to $4 and then briefly to $9 after Stern and then Karmazin agreed to join. "

What other company that has been so closley link to Auto Sales has done so well??......
I would be impressed if you could identify any. The cash cow for Sirius was in the Automotive sector. Turning a business model around during normal economic times is difficult, but Mel is managing to achieve the paradigm shift in the worst economic times in 80 years.

Carping about how bad Mel is doing from their keyboard shows how little thought that person gives to how any business is run.
Two out of three domestic Auto giants go into bankruptcy. It would have been easier to follow the same course. Mel took the path least traveled. If you can't keep up with the concepts, stay off the path.

Too many times have I picked up a magazine, or read an article online refering to bad management. The Media thrives on bad news. Leave the gloom and doom to the professionals, they are better at it. And, they don't repeat themselves as much! I welcome opinions of the future prospects. The past actions of Mel, so far, have proven to be correct. Each passing day brings a media giant that will rival Viacom's influence. Mel has the experience! ]]>

2) He can not buy shares at any time!! it is vested over time. Thant means he has to sustain the performance of the company.
3) If stock goes to $5 from here, AND MEL BUYS stock, he earned it! wait....let me quote you
"Next time you hear "Oh, but Mel owns stock and also loses", remember how he gets paid."
That's right .....this is incentive cash. This is not an isolated incident, it is a standard when dealing with highly talented management.

New Revenue for Sirius Can Come from Creative Places http://seekingalpha.com/article/150399-new-revenue-for-sirius-can-come-from-creative-places?source=feed#comment-597959 597959 A newly launched satellite means nothing? I will not confuse you with paraphrasing. From the Gunters space page:
space.skyrocket.de/ind...

"The satellite will be one of the most powerful ever constructed, with end-of-life power capability at more than 20 kilowatts. Sirius FM-5 is based on SS/L's flight proven and reliable LS-1300 platform and will have a specified service life of 15 years. It will carry a range of technologies, including a 9-meter unfurlable reflector, which will allow for highly-concentrated transmissions to small, advanced devices."

So what does the Phrase "highly-concentrated transmissions to small, advanced devices" mean to you? Probably nothing, as you can't see beyond things you can touch, smell, or see. Technology is advancing every day, and for the most part is not realized until later. Many features are ignored by self proclaimed experts on the topic. I am sure FM-5 will bring Sirius users new features over it's 15 year life span.


OH........
btw there is a SOPHISTICATED tool on the computer that is available to you.....

it's called spell check!!!!

Media Manipulation of Sirius News Goes Unchecked http://seekingalpha.com/article/144117-media-manipulation-of-sirius-news-goes-unchecked?source=feed#comment-554529 554529
> Some real tinfoil-hat stuff here.

I agree..but Siri-Doom is the white coated tinfoil-hat wearer. Some of the statements are true , but the one about posting in Dec is not. Check out the number of posts by the individual, and look at all his posts. There are seven posts, as of my posting. Siri-Doom loses credibility with me in the fact that his announcement of Mel's indiscression can not be supported. What comes across is the bitterness of a loss in share price of his stock. Provided he did not sell, he lost nothing. If he did sell, he decided that management can not bring Sirius out of a failing business model. The past three quarters has proven that statement (and thought) to be incorrect. We are coming out of the biggest economic crush since the great depression. This is not my opinion, this is exemplified in TARP & the Auto loans. Sirius has succeded with going Positive EBIDTA despite the economics. Provided that Sirius can continue to be EBIDTA positive into the 2Q, the worst is over. TARP money is being given back, backs are loaning money again. The Automotive companies have resturctured via BK and the economy is moving on. This is more than I can say for Siri-Doom.]]>

Sirius XM Extends Itself Globally http://seekingalpha.com/article/144119-sirius-xm-extends-itself-globally?source=feed#comment-554475 554475 1) iPhone subscriptions. With Hardware free, this is the biggest bang for the company.
2) Increased saturation rate into Domestic automotive manufacturers, and the signing of more Foreign


The changing global markets and how the company plans to penetrate international markets?
1) iPhone subscriptions, the minor stumbling block is the RIAA. The RIAA have a greater chance of receiving income from an American based company than a Chinese government supported communist based one overseas. The Chinese love the western influence!

The company plans to address expiring contracts the same way Football, Baseball, Television or any other entertainment company does, by negotiation.

There are far more companies that didn't survive, Worldspace, and XM (AS a standalone) to name two. Sirius won’t be the company to go out of business, because the customers support the business. The customers are supporting the business during the most difficult economic time since the great depression. The iPhone is not the stopping point for Sirius, but with the number of customers it has to offer, a percentage of new subscribers would push the company to be Cash Flow Positive.

Time for Sirius Action as Stock Faces Removal from Russell Indexes http://seekingalpha.com/article/143342-time-for-sirius-action-as-stock-faces-removal-from-russell-indexes?source=feed#comment-548941 548941

The group that is heging their bets by shorting the stock is counting on the mandatory purchase of this stock through 401K & other pension facilities. These facilities have requirements to maintain a balance of all stocks listed in the Russell. The very fact that a forced purchase on a timely basis is in place supports the short strategy!

Let it Go!!! Once there is no interest in the stock, the shorts will drop it like a lead balloon. The shorts need activity to generate cash. without any activity the shorts will have to move on!! ]]>

there are 196,165,666 Licenced drivers in the United States in 2003. Assuming that there is a car per driver. For thise of you who argue married couples mostly have one car. My two sons own seven working cars between them. At a 19.6 million suscriber rate that penetration is only 10% of 2003 numbers.
So, questions I have
1) What is the current number of cable subscribers in the United States
2) What is the total number of households in the United States.

An post from a couple of weeks ago indicated that we should model growth for Sirius against Comcast. I don't believe that to be the case. I am curious though, exactLy what the penetration rate is for cable.]]>
