  • Three Reasons for Sirius Aggravation [View article]
    its so funny to see everyone who cries about these drastic mistakes that mel has made running SIRI. i didn't see people crying when he took the subs from 400,000 to 19 million and a virtual monopoly today. i also don't see how mel forced SIRI/XM merger to LANGUISH for a year and a half, putting it in the financial position it is in now. if mel was so terrible, people would have been calling for his head in 2006 , two years after he had taken the helm (because - let's face it - if he was a terrible CEO and a crook, he didn't become that way overnight, right? people would have seen what a "lousy" job he was doing, right?). it wasn't until the stock price plummeted when people started grumbling and pointing fingers at "mel the crook". please tell me WHAT STOCK has NOT plummeted in the past few months??

    cooler heads prevail. no one told you to hold when the bottom started to fall out of SIRI, it was your greed/ignorance/inabil... to use stop loss that put YOU in the position you are in now. now you are fucked. take responsibility, because its not mel's fault.

  • Sirius Investors: Decline in OEM Take Rate Something to Watch [View article]
    you guys who threaten to sue MEL sound so ridiculous. you DO realize that you would be suing SIRI-XM, not MEL. and you DO realize that you would have to PAY (out of YOUR pocket) an attorney (because no one would take the case as a class action and actually believe he could win..), and that MEL would pay ZERO to defend himself because SIRI-XM would be footing the bill (actually, dummy, YOU the shareholder would be footing the bill....). so who loses? again and again - its you.....

    take responsibility for your OWN avarice and lack of knowledge or discipline. learn how to trade and most important - learn how to MITIGATE RISK. stop loss, peeps - learn how to use it.

  • Earnings Preview: Sirius XM Radio [View article]
    i don't think that mel was referring to ALL retail shareholders when he made that comment, but he was somewhat on the mark....
    just look at some of the inane, poorly spelled posts on seeking alpha and yahoo (ESPECIALLY yahoo. pick ONE random page on the SIRI yahoo msg. board (frequented by retail investors), and read the posts) - the word unsophisticated might be generous.
    it may seem insulting, but was he far off?

    lol. kinda obvious -

    koop = hartlieb.


    pitiful, really.

    don't you have a job, or are you posting on your company's dime??


    so far the only guy who seems to be the smart one is the pig farmer. while everyone who was dumb enough to NOT use a stop loss, and cries about how the stock price is mel's fault and blah blah blah - PIG FARMER was making money (about 5 grand this week...). who is the smart one? hmmmmm....


    mel has been ceo for a few years now. after the first year, you should have jumped ship instead of riding it all the way down (with the rest of the market, btw, people.LOL). the reverse split wouldn't be an issue if the market hadn't melted. the debt - would have been taken care of, too.
    all the things you guys are up in arms about really has nothing to do with mel, but as humans you need someone to blame. you need some explanation.

    so sad. but obvious....

  • Sirius XM Nears Top of Shorts List [View article]
    not to cheerlead or anything, but i am puzzled as to why people insist that mel karmazin hasn't increased siri's profitability. under mel it seems that the subs have increased EXPONENTIALLY. under mel the competition was absorbed to make siri-xm the only player on the field. i would say that he has earned his pay.
    was mel far off the mark when he called some investors "unsophisticated"? perhaps as a p.r. move it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but judging by MANY of the posts i have read, he was right on the mark....

    mark2003 -

    you have obviously crossed the point of rational thinking. you are PURE EMOTION at this point. i understand that you have had a massive drawdown of capital, but this is the risk you take in buying stock. i think that its time to man up. NO ONE forced you to forgo any type of stoploss order, which would have gotten you out of this situation a LONG time ago. it was your GREED that convinced you that SIRI would come back and you would be rich. you and no one but YOU hoodwinked yourself.

    when are people going to start taking responsibility for their own actions and grow some balls?

    such whining babies. this is/has been a spec stock and should have been treated as such. STOP LOSS , people - use it.......
