Chrysler's Sirius Impact Could Include Better Times Ahead

"Investors should be prepared for de-activations in the neighborhood of 1.65 to 1.75 million"

Would that be the same number as EVERY listener of HD Radio leaving all at once?

Chrysler's Sirius Impact Could Include Better Times Ahead

relmar,

Take it easy on wholesale. He is probably listening to HD Radio. We should take pity on him. He is obviously confused. Must be the hyper disruptive signals scrambling his brain.

Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius

And Cedar,

Perhaps you should go back on vacation, because you have no fiking clue what you are talking about. Mel said it himself, you loser.

Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius

Maybe you guys need to check your facts. Mel himself said that Cramer interfered with the financing due to his comments in the silent period.

Cramer is justly being attacked and discredited. And his comments were post-merger approval, but before the merger was consumated. Look it up.

Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius

I stopped reading after you got your facts wrong. Jim Cramer went on TV in a silent period before financing was to be done and called our stock a lottery ticket, running around like a baffoon. He caused the stock to drop quite a bit, which in turn caused a poor financing deal. Jim Cramer attacked the company and the stock. This was after months of pumping it. This guy will not appear on my TV ever again. He can rot in hell for all I care. Jim Cramer is the mouthpiece for Goldman Sachs.

What Will the Future Hold for SIRI-XM?

Who needs the iPod to inherit Sirius capabilities? The Stiletto 2 does EXACTLY that. I can see the value of adding SiriusXM to the iPhone, but the iPod is overkill.
