      Congratulations, everyone, we have arrived!!! Jul 25 09:34 PM
    • Has the FCC Gone Communist? [view article]
      ...And while we are at it, mr. Adelstein, lets freeze your salary for six years, because, as a consumer of your service and a tax payer, I will benefit from not having to pay any more for your stupid decisions than its already costing me. Jul 21 09:54 PM

      Comrad Lenin is smiling down upon you, mr. Adelstein. Your efforts in promoting Soviet style socialism in America are noticed. You should be awarded the order of the Red Star. Meantime, the rest of us suckers will hold the bag. Jul 21 05:07 PM
    • Georgetown Partners' Latest Radio Proposal Raises Many Questions [view article]
      FCC needs to be renamed to FCS, as in F**k Common Sense. Jul 07 06:35 PM
    • 8 Proposed Minority Channels Good For Radio Merger [view article]
      We're making headway, and thats what is important! Sounds like we may be nearing the approval. Concessions, if reasonable, are not out of line here if it moves the merger to conclusion. Leasing a few channels out doesn't affect the overall synergies of the merged company. Lets just hope it doesn't take FCC too much longer to deliver the good news! May 06 11:21 AM
    • CITI: $8 Target on Sirius [view article]
      They did run a commercial on Howard, when he first moved to Sirius, that said "F**k the FCC!", but, by delaying the merger, they do no harm to Howard Stern. Instead, they are hurting the consumer and the investor. Not to mention, they make themselves look like a puppet on a string held by terrestrial radio and "the rev." Jesse Jackson. Apr 25 08:40 PM
    • CITI: $8 Target on Sirius [view article]
      What about the target price of the combined company? Anyone think its a little conservative at 8 to 10? I imagine it won't take them long to achieve positive cash flow, once they merge, and the Street will reward the stock from that point forward, with each quarterly earnings report getting better as they do get more subs.

    • FCC Decision on Sirius/XM Merger May Be as Late as May - Stifel [view article]
      Hey, FCC! GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES ALREADY!!! By now we know that your agency is a colossal drain where our tax money is going at a fast rate. If you are telling me that, after all the time gone by, you cannot come out with a decision on this merger, I draw one of two conclusions: either you are a group of incompetent morons, or you are simply trying to sabotage the deal by dragging your feet until you bleed the two companies out of money and into bankruptcy court. Either way, doesn't look like you give a s**t about consumers. Look, FCC, just tell us what it is you lack the most - the balls to make a decision one way or the other, or the brains to understand why this merger makes sense? And, while we are waiting on your wisdom to be spoken, just keep letting AT&T buy up every company they lay an eye on, doesn't take you hardly any time to approve those. Apr 21 07:48 PM
    • Still Too Early to Buy Sirius - Merrill [view article]
      Friend, you have awesome knowledge of the DCF, congratulations! My point, however, is that there is more to investing in a company stock than analyst ratings and formulas. In fact, the way these two stocks have traded, especially since the DOJ approval, contradicts any traditional market science. Granted, I may be a bit subjective in my thinking because I own shares in SIRI/XM, but I believe in the product these companies are selling and think that their share price is at a discount right now because of several factors. Forgive my not following the book in my thinking. And, since you asked for questions, how do you justify two directly opposite ratings on the same stock, on the same day, from two different brokerages, from "sell" at Merrell to "buy" on Tabak?

    • Still Too Early to Buy Sirius - Merrill [view article]
      BOOO-YAAA!!! Buy, buy, buy SIRI/XM!!! House of Pleasure is near!Merrill can't stop profits from coming our way, finally. And their ridiculous price targets and "sell" ratings are only geared to confuse you and keep the share price low so they can maximizeTHEIR profits. Throughout this whole ordeal big broker houses manipulated the prices of XM and SIRI shares by spewing their "analyst" ratings, and this is just the latest in a string of lies. Watch them merge and become a solid, healthy, financially vibrant company that delivers great content in a crowded digital infotanement market. And, by that time, all these broker houses will have made their profits in a big way, but WILL YOU??? Stop listening to the "analysts" and listen to your gut. Believe in YOURSELF, not some guy behind a desk who gets paid a big bonus at the end of the year to make money for his company. By the way, on the SAME DAY, another broker house, Miller Tabak & Co., issued a "Buy" rating for SIRI. Now go buy some shares, they are trading at a bargin, thanks to Merrill and the like.

    • Sirius Radio Gets an ’08 Estimates Trim from Morgan Stanley [view article]
      Patience has definitely been a virtue in this transaction. Hopefully we all will benefit soon, subscribers and investors. I happen to be both and it's been quite a trip on the investor end of it. I agree with botu about the incompetents, except not all of them are liberal, just politicians in general being ignorant to reality. As far as the FCC approval, there is no logical reason not to already have it! DOJ spoke out and gave an unconditional go, that is all to be said. FCC is there mainly to "protect consumers", and, as a consumer of the satellite radio service, I don't feel we need protection from this merger. In fact, I can only see benefits from being able to enjoy the best of both companies! Apr 09 08:36 PM
