For anybody who cares, here's what I wrote on June 28 in response to a question Mr. Stupid posed to me that got me thrown off the board.

" Mr. Stupid, obviously no, I do not know the difference between "short selling" and "naked short selling." and neither do I know Jack nor do I know "#@%!."

"And Mr. Stupid, I never said short selling was "illegal." For anybody who cares to see what I wrote, look at the top of todays post; I think it's number three or four.

"And there is one more thing: Mr. Stupid, in the future, please do not misquote me -- it does not look good on my resume'."

So today, are we to believe that action will finally take place to stop these intrusions into the marketplace?

We will wait and see....

As profit and loss statements show a balance sheet that APPEARS to be in the red, it's the it's the billion dollar debt load that throws the numbers out of whack. For the prospect of future lenders to restructure SiriusXM, underwriters will take a hard look at SiriusXM's ability to repay loans. It's like a homeloan: Mortgage bankers look at the future earnings of potential borrowers (well, at least they're supposed to based on this current housing crisis where underwriters did not do their job).

Anyways, here again is Scotty's Slant: With SiriusXM's healthy monthly revenue stream, and management team building a powerhouse of a business model, their current and future earnings potential should far outweigh the billion dollar debt issue....

And by the way, there is one more thing: My opinion might be just as constipated as that "Up the Tailpipe Again" person. I think he forgot to read the "tailpipe" instruction manual where it says: "Caution, to avoid serious intestional blockage, cut crimped end off tailpipe before inserting up rectal orifice....

And by the way, there is one more thing: When the restructuring of debt comes due in February 09 -- all 300 million of it -- do the third grade math; 20 million subscribers at $10 a month equals a shitload of cash in SiriusXM's hands. Analysts can use charts and crunch all the algebric numbers they want to create bleak future outlooks but the basic facts remain what they are; with a healthy revenue stream of dollars pouring into Sirius XM's coffers each month, a billion dollars of debt is nothing more than a mere nuisance....

And by the way, there is one more thing: While understanding that nobody on this board holds a crystal ball that fortells the future, can anybody offer a LOGICAL, well thought out opinion as to whether Sirius is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy? Or, better yet, can anybody offer a sound opinion that Sirius shareholders WILL NOT end up screwed and holding worthless shares of paper that will be used to wipe our sore asses after our morning turds?

As any good general prepares for a looming battle, a contingency plan is in place where if one avenue of attack fails, there is another viable plan to save their troops from slaughter. And this is what Mel and his team are doing with the reverse split contingency as they do not wish to leave a legacy of failure that resembles Custer's last stand in the Battle of Little Bighorn....

By the way, one more small thing: when you say, "if share price goes to high," wouldn't this be good news where more drastic contingency plans will be abandoned with the company moving in a positive direction? And as for a reverse split, what is the fear there? A split does not equate to a loss in value of shares -- it simply reduces the number of shares...

Also, when people ask: "why has Sirius not done more advertising with the holiday shopping season approaching," management has probably thought this through as well: With all indicators pointing to dismal consumer spending during this 4th quarter shopping season, management has probably decided to sit tight on their advertising budget until after the new year and do more to keep their existing subscriber base intact -- Karmazin and his team are not a bunch of nitwits who are asleep at the wheel....

And by the way, there is one more thing: As the directors of Sirius recommended, I voted "for" on the reverse stock split. I don't care what the analysts say -- if they are so smart then I must ask, "why are they languishing behind a desk with a meager salary of $125,000 while Mel earns a few million or more per year in running a company that is worth billions of dollars"? The man's track record speaks for itself: He is not intentionally driving this company towards bankruptcy and it is sheer stupidity to believe otherwise....

Now in getting to the question of stock manipulation and whether it was by design or accident is another matter. But who cares? From my observation, the stock was simply jumping from low to high and back again based upon recommendations from Cramer and other analysts. And so as it was, people simply bought and sold based upon continuously changing news at the time.

Now for today, and for all the brainiacs who want to slam Karmazin and offer advice on how he should proceed to run SiriusXM, would it be stupid of me to suggest that Karmazin has a host of other principals helping him run the business of SiriusXM and I would offer the suggestion that those officers are already ten steps ahead of the knucklehead outsiders who with only limited information offer advice as to how Karmazin and the rest of his team should manage the affairs of SiriusXM.

And by the way, there is one more thing: For the brainiacs who offer nothing but negative comments on this post, I would like to see their credentials and ask why they are not commanding million dollar salaries while running Fortune 500 companies. After all, I think it would be unreasonable of me to assume that the Mr. Karmazin and the rest of his management team are incompetent as they have more at stake than the rest of us combined....

At this point, I don't think brains versus the other part of the male anatomy makes for a good argument; In fact, I think your argument is flawed. If we listened to your advice and sold, than that would guarantee a loss. However, if we hold, this leaves the door open where in the event that stock price recovers, we will at least break even or profit. This is not "balls" my friend, this is simple logic that requires the use of what we call a "brain." In other words, panic is not the name of the game -- if someone yells fire, it is the people who panic that perish....

And by the way, there is one more thing: Mr. C11, why would you use the term "balls"?

It sounds so elementary school.

Well, I guess that's good advice, but that still leaves me somewhat suspicious as to how well he's done with his past picks....

And by the way, I almost forgot, there is one more thing: Can anybody out there speak with their wits about them as to what is actually going on with this stock? I'm tired of hearing all this crap about what Cramer said or what Mel shouldn't have said or what Mel didn't do. In a nutshell, with the stock price already in the toilet, is this company actually headed for the sewer where it will never recover? And please, no illiterate remarks are necessary from the peanut gallery with their mantra: "I told you so."

Mr. Vicar, you are still playing games. But, before getting into that, here's a quick story: I coach little league. And in my first year of coaching there was a game where a kid missed a grounder and because of that error a few runs scored and we lost. And I told the kid that because of that missed ball, we lost the game.

Well, in immediately recognizing how ignorant it was for me to make such a stupid remark, I set to work in rectifying my own error by rebuilding that kids wrecked ego, and I charted a new course in telling kids that if they booted a ball or struck out not to worry -- in baseball they have have hundreds of at- bats and hundreds of chances to put somebody out: One bad play or one strikeout means nothing.

So in using that analogy as a platform in describing what seems to be your philosophy, where instead of building others up, you seem to delight in slamming them down with these remarks: "I feel sorry for you, I feel ashamed for you", etc.

And in putting this all together, and in your continuous slam on Sirius stockholders, and in response to my request for a sharing of information, you befuddled me once again by giving me an assignment: Do my homework (debt to earnings, companies that have leverage over suppliers with savings passed on to consumers, etc.)

O'kay fine, I appreciate that.

However, since I've been forced into this position, I'm going to ask once again for some specific information as to which companies you see fit to invest in. I asked you this before and your reply was that you did not offer recommendations for free. Well, that's crap. Do you not offer your opinion for free that Sirius stock stinks?

Enough said there and I'll end with one more thing: If you do not see that it is fitting to offer constructive dialog on this board where we may all profit with tidbit tips on other stocks, than it it not fitting for you to dialog at all: Trust the system -- working together works....

A quick question, and please, a straight answer: Mr. Vicar, without using "quantitative metrics", or mathematical formulas, give us your thoughts on a few opportunistic tidbits regarding company stocks that are primed to rise -- you know, this one is worth five-stars, or that one is worth four (by the way, leave anything that rates less than three off the table).

By the way, one more thing: Please don't let me down. You've made it quite clear that you hold no interest in SiriusXM, so as a trade-off, in convincing us that you know what your talking about, you owe us a juicy tangible that we can sink our teeth into.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is one more thing: I bought in with the attitude that I'll either lose it all or make a ton of money with no in between. So for those that have lost on paper, you have a choice: Hang on, or, sell at a loss, lick your wounded nards, and move on....

By the way, Mr.Vicar, you did not answer my question with a simple yes or no as to whether you owned stock in SiriusXM. What you did is dance around the question in saying that you never offered opinions as to go short or long. Well, that's close enough--we'll consider that a no, you do not own stock in SiriusXM....

By the way, there is one more thing: Killer, you kill me. You said the the best three word phrase I've heard in quite a while: I smell poop. That one kept me laughing all the way up until bedtime....

Now the question: You said if $5,000 were placed in VTSMX 3 years ago, it would be worth $5,600 today. In addition, you also said that had investors placed their funds in VTSMX, they would be $4,500 richer today. So in doing the math on those numbers, it would appear that the gain is only $600, not $4,500. So have I missed something or has my calculator suffered a battery meltdown?

And no, this evening, I don't have one more thing: It's way past bedtime and I have not yet had my popcorn. ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:56:24 -0400
