  • 2 Sirius Aspects That Need to Play Out  [View article]
    Just for the record, I wish to reiterate that I have sold my position in this money-losing company. The staggering debt, the poor track record of profitability, and its meager growth prospects have convinced me that there are too many more attractive investment opportunities out there to justify holding on to this one.

    I've sold my entire position in Sirius. It was just time. Been waiting too long.....risk reward profile just to poor to hang on. It feels better. Yes, I lost money, but the burden of hoping for the improbable is a weight off my shoulders. To all SIRI longs -- I encourage you to reconsider your investment. Between its money-losing track record and poor growth prospects, just sell now and find a more attractive investment.

    Peace out.

    Hello everyone. After considerable reflection, I've decided that this really is a money-losing company with no growth prospects. I'm selling my entire position and buying an index mutual fund. I apologize to The Vicar of Value and everyone else whose well-intentioned words of warning went unheeded by star-struck Sirius fans such as myself.

    There. That feels better. This really is a burden off my shoulders. I'm off to buy my index fund. It won't be as exciting, but I'll make more money.

    Hello everyone. After considerable reflection, I've decided that this really is a money-losing company with no growth prospects. I'm selling my entire position and buying an index mutual fund. I apologize to Vicar/Dave and everyone else whose well-intentioned words of warning went unheeded by star-struck Sirius fans such as myself.

    There. That feels better. Dave/Vic really was right. This really is a burden off my shoulders. I'm off to buy my index fund. It won't be as exciting, but I'll make more money.

    Relmor, I'll answer your question. Because this company is unprofitable and debt-ridden,and will likely remain so.

    All radio stations do this. Sirius simply channels third party information - it is the core of its business model. No news here. Just because it can convey information simply means it's playing the game. It doesn't mean it's winning.

    The Vicar has been warning star-struck Sirius fans such as killerkaul and cos1000 for weeks about the risks of owning the stock of this money-losing company. The Vicar predicted the tanking stock price. They did not listen. Pathetic.

    Closed circuit to "I'm Not Jim Cramer":

    The Vicar is glad to have another voice of reason to reinforce his skepticism of this unprofitable company with the dubious business model. Welcome aboard.

    Is it just me, or does Jim Cramer look like he's lost a substantial amount of weight? The Vicar was actually a bit concerned for his health when he saw him on the tube this evening. Almost looks a bit gaunt.....

    Not avoiding you, Scot. Just a lot of people seeking out my advice who are generally more receptive than most contributors to this forum. You, however, are the exception.

    Again, The Vicar does not give stock tips for free, or else his advice would have no value. However, he favors companies with solid growth prospects, expanding gross and operating profit margins, prudently managed balance sheets, and growing free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. Growing market share versus competitors is another metric, as well as high return on invested capital and a track record of profitability. Most importantly, reasonable valuation relative to growth prospects with a PEG ratio preferably less than 1.0. He also prefers organic growth to growth by acquisition.

    Rather than give individual stock tips, The Vicar believes in giving receptive investors the correct knowledge tools that will empower them to experience the thrill of picking a winning stock for themselves. Does this make sense, Mr. Scot's?

    I'm not a big fan of Mr. Cramer, but his column should resonate with every current and prospective holder of this stock:

    All those cars also have airbags -- but how many of them actually get used?

    art d k: So how many cash-strapped consumers will pay $12 a month for it? Gas is $4/gallon plus, home equity is maxed out, values are falling, and the credit tourniquet is tightening. The math makes no sense.

    Toyota just announced this morning that it's backledaling its sales forecast for all of 2009 to fewer than 10 million vehicles. Do you think this is a harbinger of robust sales for Sirius? Those who do are in for a big disappointment, not to mention a loss.
