No one wants to mortgage a freaking tool that will wear out and/or lose its value before it is paid off.]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:59:19 -0500 Henry Ford's company reduced the price of his early cars for several years knowing that such a reduction would open up wider markets.

As an investor, I expect risk but not complicity by a CEO to cover up information that would certainly have affected my decision on whether or not to purchase SIRI. One reason the market is depressed is total lack of confidence in the operations of the markets and those who should be governing/policing on behalf of investors. It seems that once again the CEOs and goverment-watchdogs have failed the consumer who is ultimately the loser, all-a-round. I thank you for the first full explanation about why this stock and merger have been so disappointing.
Unfortunately there will be no justice for those who lose their investment even if fraud has occurred; one can't get compensation from a dead company nor sue the government, Too bad the latter is not possible, too bad.]]> Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:13:35 -0400 However to suggest that you are crazy or not long at all on the SIRI stock is typical of the narrow thinking of this message board.
