On the other hand, a few knowledgeable posters above also caution to wait for Q3 to sort out and for the Q4 forecast--so I will hold.

On the proxy, I am undecided about which way to vote. On principle, I may vote no knowing a majority of such votes could pave the way to BK. If we get "put down" as a longs, then I think it only fair to sink C-level insiders we trusted, make them publicly suffer through the shame and humiliation of failing, and of having to explicitely declare that they have. If the double dealing above turns out to be true and Mel abandons us, then It would be worth my remaining 25% to see him become the butt of bankruptcy jokes in corporate suites and board rooms throughout the United States.

Others have shared some of their feelings above. It is understandable because this board hosts a community of justifiably dissatisfied longs. My main regret is giving in to thoughts about what could have been. Could have sent my daughter to a decent university on modest gains. Could have paid off my mortgage, could have retired nearly two years early, could have bought a good used Ketch that I have always dreamed about owning and sailed blue water. Could have....

To keep this brief, I remain long but not "way long" as I have previously posted. I am reverting from investor to trader. Above, the term "exit strategy" sticks in my mind. Exit--but not yet, not until the smoke clears and a decisive move can be determined.

Regards to all retail level longs and even to the retail level shorts who play by the rules and that have traded jabs with us longs. Investing and trading remain in my blood and I know that, if SIRI has taught me anything, it is to steer clear of such stocks going forward.

(PS: I am "PM" on SiriusBuzz and "PMO" in the SiriusBuzz stock forum.)]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:42:46 -0400

All, I have gotten into the habit of classifying longs and shorts on this and other blogs. It's almost like what's happening to the SP--every time a long contributes and short counters. As a long, I can't wait for the post-merger smoke to clear, for the company to get its legs, and for shorts to cover en masse to save their as*es. ]]> Sun, 14 Sep 2008 20:13:51 -0400

Joe F., maybe you missed my "if true" qualifier. Chill out--but if you don't, pardon me for not taking any more bait. I'm focused on matters having to do with the SP. Whatever it takes ethically, legally, realistically to get the SP pointed north. Long SIRI. No position GS.

Everyone following this stock knows about the subscriber base and its potential, the fact that sat radios can go into electric, biofuel, hybrid, fuel cell and good old gas guzzling vehicles (and aircraft, watercraft, and, who knows, probably even spacecraft within range of the Clark Belt or wherever Sirius-XM's bird based transponders are signalling), the killer programming lineup, the requirement to manufacture a new set of merged company hardware that supports announced offerings (technically, absolutely doable), a related star's potential future contract cost contraction to sub .5B dollars, lots of noise from nervous shorts (have the pros covered yet?), regular interest by the financial media (briefly, almost daily on CNBC), Wall Street's reported, understandable willingness to give the new company several quarters because of FCC foot dragging, speculation at all levels, steady buzz at blog level, the challenging CNBC remark to Mel (think he cares? only with every fiber of his being) about having a stock that trades at an embarrassing level (uh, and when did he sink 2M more into the stock?), and much more tells me to go long--long, baby! Sirius-XM is just waiting to catch air and ride a thermal up above the Bollinger Bands, beyond the 50-day SMA, through the 200-day average, and to the stratosphere.
