Liberty's Sirius Preferred Stake Expected to Be Spun Off

Here's an example of how that would work:

Liberty's Sirius Preferred Stake Expected to Be Spun Off

Liberty could do this tax-free, by using the SIRI stock in a buyback exchange, i.e., spinning off the SIRI stake to its own stockholders in exchange for Liberty shares.

How Trucks and Tariffs Contributed to GM, Chrysler Failures

This also fails to note that cars are bought on financing, and houses and commercial properties are built on financing, and people who work in construction drive pick-ups and SUVs almost exclusively. To lose sight of the fact that this collapse was due to the seizing of the credit markets chases a red herring. True, they were too reliant on trucks and SUVs, and true the tariffs were part of that. But they were able to generate huge profits with this product portfolio, until their reliance on these trucks and SUVs made them vulnerable during the run-up of oil prices, which destroyed their cash positions, then the cratering credit markets finished them off.

My Response to Soros' Views of CDS

"Perhaps I’m reading in too much into this sentence but to expect AIG (AIG) to somehow have hedged or offset its CDS trades is akin to an insurance company kidnapping sick people who have bought life insurance and sticking them in incubators to prolong their life."

Insurance companies (responsible ones, anyway) have reserves and investments that are intended to guarantee payment on the policies. When they sell guarantees (in variable annuities, for example), they do buy hedges and make offsetting investments. Also, half the policyholders won't die in a nine-month period, which is what happened to AIG

SIRIUS XM Radio Q4 2008 Earnings Call Transcript

No mention of rev split or delisting. I think the extension of NASDAQ waiver makes it a short-term non-issue.

Sirius: RBC Urges Investors to Remain on Sidelines Following Latest Earnings

Huge volume surge... what's going on???

Sirius XM’s British Invasion

I think the conclusions reached by tracking the ownership back to a company that also owns radio stations in the UK is more paranoia than anything else, much like the idea that Jim Cramer was attempting to manipulate the stock price on behalf of Goldman.

I believe this company has a chance to thrive. But, at the same time, to say that anyone who disagrees has an agenda is a reach.

There is (was?) a satellite radio company attempting to operate in the EU. I think the patchwork regulation over there makes the FCC look easy in comparison.

The Sirius Price of Liberty

Mogami -- Apart from the securities law questions, that would likely be a violation of the terms of the indenture. I think it would be treated as a redemption rather than an open-market purchase, and they would probably have to offer to buy everyone out at the same price, at which point you could kiss .40 goodbye.

The Sirius Price of Liberty

Marco -- Take a quick jog through a dog park then scrape your shoe. That's the surest way to find the type of ethically challenged weasel who would file your meritless claims. They are called strike-suit lawyers, and they are the securities law equivalent of the personal injury lawyers who advertise on TV.

6 Key Points from the Liberty / Sirius XM Deal - Merrill

"What's it gonna take before the institutions start buying in?"

Same as any other stock--min price of $5/sh, with limited downside. Probably a 1-50 split combined with a couple good quarters and credible guidance of a couple more improving quarters will get some institutional interest.

Sirius: Is Chapter 11 Good for Shareholders?

There should have been filed with the merger agreement (or at some point in the 1,485-year-long merger process) any modifications to XM's various indentures. Did anyone look?

Fed Up with Sirius' Childish Customers

Puh-lease. The "Bubba Army" is an absurd fiction. Howard Stern is too insecure to put anyone with talent on his channel, so he got that useless terrestrial retread to fill airtime. He's moderately successful in a tiny market. There's another 100 or so people who could take his place in an instant and after a day or two nobody would notice, in part because they all do exactly the same bits.
