Don't be a dick and beat people when they're way down. You are unbelievably messed up.

Until the three 2009 debt scenario's are behind us, and the company officially becomes cashflow positive (including capital exp.), this stock is going to be all over the chart. But after all of this, the upside is huge.

I have total faith with Mel's hands on the wheel. ]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:20:34 -0400

Mel's MO is "under promise and over deliver" in every aspect--revenue, debt, promotions, etc.--of the company. I thought the classic line from the conference was, "We could put Satellite Radio in a toaster too, but we're not doing anything unless it's cash flow positive for the company." Or something like that.

This company will absolutely take off under Mel's leadership. The only painful part is waiting a year or two for this company to realize all its potential. ]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:05:32 -0400

1. Learn to spell and use punctuation properly. Your message is unclear when you replace "where" with "were" and end a question with a period. You can learn about those things in a good university like Harvard or UCSF.
2. You wouldn't have companies like Apple or Sirius if you didn't have cities like San Francisco and New York. Innovation comes from people living in progressive places, so don't be a hypocrite by slamming cities that you rely on.
3. Palin and the rest of the right-wing republicans are trying to ramp up the culture wars, and you two are buying into it. I guess you both are proof on the effectiveness of advertising. The country is sick of being divided, so find another argument.
That's it....I'll now patiently wait for another one of your emotional and meaningless responses.

Mudslinger is right, positive comments have no impact, whereas negative comments devastate the stock price. Once again my assertion is:

There is no faith in these companies by anyone other than a bunch of small-time investors. ]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:39:21 -0400

The deal is that most democrats are more to the middle on your above issues than most would think; I think the same is true for republicans. The perception of conversatives is that they couldn't care less about the environment, creationism should be taught in schools, health care is fine the way it is, unions should be abolished, we should create one big corporation in america, and gays should be eliminated from the planet. Is that truly how all conservatives think? I doubt it; in fact, I'll bet it's a miniscule percentage.

But, to come full circle to the original discussion about Glenn Beck, he would have you think the way you do about liberals, and gives some democrats reason to believe the perceptions about conservatives. What would you say if I came on here and starting throwing around that we all should listen to Michael Moore, because he speaks the truth? You would think I was ridiculous.

Political campaigns and the media distort the reality and are not a true reflection of the people's beliefs.

So you think we should try to work together instead of continue to castigate each other? I'll convince my friends that republicans aren't evil if you'll do the same to yours.

And abortions should never be allowed after the first tri-mester, except in cases where it's been learned that the fetus is not viable. But I can see where you're coming from if you're against abortion.
2. Volkswagon TDI--Deisel, But I ride my bike to and from work now.
3. Yes. Not because I don't think sick bastards should be gruesomely put to death for murdering someone else. But because innocent people are put to death. Can you see where I'm coming from?
4. Outsourcing--good questions. But I'm not going to write a thesis on this blog. In general, I'm for it. Because without it, we can't compete in a global economy.

How about you? And don't get all emotional on me.

By the way, to all others not interested in this discussion, my apologies. But I guess we've got to talk about something while we wait for the freakin' FCC. ]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:55:23 -0400 1.

The days of dreaming for 4-5.00 per share are long gone. Stocks fall a lot faster than they climb. Every daily drop of 5-6% takes months/years to recover.

What will it take to change the paradigm regarding Sirius and get this stock climbing instead of tanking?

From Mel?
From Analysts?
From the numbers?
Etc?

Thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts on this. I still believe there will be a renascent moment for Sirius; I just don't know what it will take. ]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:01:04 -0400
