Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:04:47 -0400

I wonder if Jim Cramer's reputation is out the window? He staked is his reputation on siri. Maybe he'll just take down the street.com web site, MSNBC will cancel "Mad Money," and he'll just fade away into obscurity.

Satellite Radio Investing Made Simple

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:10:01 -0400

So why does this stock keep going down? It just keeps going lower and lower. It doesn't make any sense. Where is this stock going??I am ready to buy on a limit order @ 85 cents a share. Now I'll have to adjust it again to 75 cents. Maybe it'll bottom there, and then start heading north to $1.55 a share.

I wonder if I should buy siri back? Maybe for some momentum play?
Will it go lower back below $1? Why is the volume so high on this stock??

XM / Sirius: Cowen Sees Approval Soon

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:17:27 -0400

I am so tired of reading this same old crap!! "Satellite Radio Merger Will be Soon." And then nothing happens!!

Sirius, XM and C3SR...Who?

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:20:07 -0400

Cos1000...so the merger will be finalized this week? I read somewhere on the internet that there would be no FCC vote on SatRad come August 1? It's all so confusing.

Sirius and XM Satellite Merger Set for Approval; RBC Lowers Price Targets

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:14:48 -0400

How soon is soon? Kevin Martin said the merger approval would happen soon, but that was nearly a month ago. Now all these companies such as RBC, Goldman, and now Citi have lowered their price targets for XM and Sirius. What gives?

While Iran Threat Keeps Oil Elevated, U.S. Stocks and Dollar Slip

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:17:05 -0400

I guess that's all Bush can do is saber rattle against Iran. This saber rattling has been going on for more than 2 years, and the only thing that happens is that oil keeps climbing higher. Bush keeps the price of oil elevated , so that his buddies in the oil business can reap more profits. If the U.S. and Israel, the greater the profits for Big Oil.

Sirius: Post-Merger Guidance

Trouble is is that you and Stathis have waited to the last minute, The 12th hour of decision time is upon us and the FCC. That's why investors second guess anything that is written by you and Stathis.

Sirius: Post-Merger Guidance

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:16:32 -0400

Vicar of vapid ...we've heard from plenty of voices of dissent, chiefly the NAB, Georgetown Partners,the FCC, and a slew of other organizations opposed to the merger. No one asked for you to bring your voice of dissent to this forum. You're not telling us any thing that we probably do not know already. But unfortunately...you still impose your bilious dissent upon us all, and we disrespectfully will not oblige you. We've already connected all the dots and did all the math. We do not need your help or expertise in doing so. We are not as simple minded as you would hope.

Goldman's Sirius Call: Solid Thesis, Poor Timing

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:50:10 -0400

Vicar of Value...I think you've become a very sad excuse as an ardent hack for the NAB and Georgetown Partners. Why do you think the NAB has spent millions fighting against this merger?? If satellite radio is ready to go down the toilet, then why don't these organizations at least have half the common sense that you have, and quit spending their time, energy and money fighting against this presumably failed merger between these two companies??? Can you give me one good answer? Why do they waste their valuable time, energy and money fighting the merger? Why do you come here and waste your time and energy? What's your agenda??

I guess if the whores at Goldman maintain a "conviction sell," then I can easily see this stock testing new lows before the merger.

cos1000...No..I can't believe it. What have they done to my stock?? Look at what these whores at Goldman did! The shorts can't get enough. Anyway I think I am going to bail entirely, if it gets to 1.70. ETrade has already raked my ass with the margin call. I can't stand the pain no more, and I will have to cry uncle! And will probably send siri to the Short Hall of Fame, along with the grand poo bah of shorts.....dndn.

Sirius Satellite Radio is Seriously Undervalued

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:38:35 -0400

jswede and satellite radio is dead are too preposterous to even argue with. How come this big internet radio explosion hasn't happened already? I don't know about you, but in some rural parts of the country I can barely get any cell phone coverage. Cell phones rely heavily upon a terrestrial matrix of towers. These towers are ugly and are an eyesore. I am sure it's probably no different with wi-fi? What is the current range of these "hotspots." Even if they expanded the range of these "hotspots," then it still wouldn't be able to compete with the broad range of satellite coverage.

Speculation and the Price of Oil

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:50:11 -0400

Hopefully they will step up production of bio algae before oil reaches $500 a barrel. That is if the oil companies don't continue their fight against alternative fuel sources. The oil companies and auto makers did away with the electric car. Why? Because these corporations work in cahoots. Now big oil , auto makers, and investment bankers are working together to drive up the price of oil through speculation. Why are oil companies fighting like hell against alternative fuel sources? Because they want to keep the price of oil artificially high!!
The auto makers want us dependent on oil, so they can sell us bigger cars and suvs. There's more money to be made with great big
Hummers and Suvs. Who could make any money selling little piss ant cars for under $11,000? Big oil's long-term strategy is to keep us dependent on oil - and especially oil that is imported from the ME. The investment bankers want oil to remain artificially high in order recoup their losses from the housing and subprime fiasco. It's really no coincidence that oil started to skyrocket right after the
investment bankers started losing money with all these subprime writedowns. Bursting the speculation bubble is really key to lowering oil and gas prices.

Oil Will Peak at $150-200 - Barron's Interview

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 21:22:03 -0400

I was wondering if it's a good time to buy the USO ETF?? I sometimes wonder if the train has already left the station, but then oil still keeps going higher. I am afraid if I buy into the oil boom, then the next day there's a huge correction in the price of oil. That's my luck. There's really no fundamental reason for oil to keep going higher. It's a bunch of speculators and analysts behind the rise in the price of oil. I know this because last week oil corrected to $122 a barrel, and then all of a sudden Goldman Sachs analysts predicted in the same week oil would spike to $150. Guess what? Oil spikes $10 to $138 That's evidence that the price of oil is being highly manipulated. That's really some voodoo economics at play. Expect an oil glut soon, and precipitous decline in the price of oil. We saw this happen back in the 1980's, and we will see it again soon.

America's Energy Policy: Coming to Terms with Reality

Sat, 24 May 2008 08:24:19 -0400

I wait for wait anxiously for another round of brainless silliness of Mr. Picerno's next post.It seems that every time the gas prices go way up, the news media and big oil apologists such as Mr. Picerno start bleating the same old "supply and demand" line. There's plenty of oil to meet the demand! If the truth be known, the big oil companies and their speculating henchmen on Wall Street are responsible for these high oil prices.

Is Oil a Bubble? Part One

Fri, 23 May 2008 22:00:22 -0400

I doubt if nuclear power will be a viable option. Look at the radioactive waste that is already being produced. Where do we put all the tons of radioactive waste that is being produced? Every year the amount of radioactive wastes from nuclear reactor increases. We should look to the sun and wind as a source for our energy needs.

Oil Is Up Due to Fundamentals, Not Speculation

Wed, 21 May 2008 22:12:04 -0400

A barrel of oil has risen nearly 400% since September of 2003!! Nothing in this world could possibly be in that much in demand to cause such a run up in the last 5 years -not the finest silk in all of China, or the finest wines from France. The "peak oil" canard just doesn't jibe. I believe it as much as do the Global Warming canard. Someone needs to investigate this racket, or start imposing severe windfall profits tax on these oil companies, and impose strict tariffs on all imported oil.

A Look at Satellite Radio Earnings, Subscribers
