Auto Sales Continue to Spell Trouble for Satellite Radio

Everyone is focusing on GROWTH, how many co's are growing in the current environment. Sirius needs COST CONTROL, at 13 cents PS, I really don't think anyone is expecting anything good, any increase would be welcome in this environment, more important would be the churn rate. If they could keep their costs down, which I can't understand why they wouldn't be able to, at this point, they should become CFP this year, they generate a huge amount of cash, they just need to keep more of it. Renegotiations of their contracts would be next on the list, I haven't heard one major talent support the co's efforts, you know if I was HOWARD or MARTHA or anyone who would do just fine if they never received another check, I think I would try and help the co I work for, even if it meant forgoing my pay for a few months or a year, I understand it's not their fault the co is in this situation, maybe I'm just crazy.

Earnings Preview: Sirius XM Radio

You know something sneaky is going on at sirius, when I and many others have put forth idea after idea on how to raise cash, and, as far as I can tell, they seem to be sitting on their a$$'. Put out a 3 yr pre-payed plan for $300 and a 5yr pre payed plan for $400-$450, I would jump on this as I'm sure many other sub/shareholders would, but they just don't seem to get it. What would it really cost them, in the short run, nothing, in the long run, they lock in subs, maybe get a few more out of the deal, but they end up with a lot of cash, quick.................... is not a business man, seems to me they like the price of they're stock right where it is...............good luck to all, we're gonna need it

Sirius XM Radio Faces Shareholder Suit

It's a simple solution,
#1. someone could start a sirius fund, for shareholders, subs, or anyone who would like to donate.
#2. any shareholder who is interested in saving their stock, should run out and buy a subscription and pay the $13 a month( if they're not a sub yet, of course).
#3. Any sub that is a shareholder could purchase a second radio for $40 and add the second sub for $7 a month.
Any one of these options would go a long way in helping them survive over the next 6-12 months, and hopefully the air will clear and money will flow again to co's such as siri. Hey, it's probably a lot cheaper to do this than file a lawsuit, why doesn't Mr. Hartlieb get as many shareholders to do the above if he's really interested in saving sirius, just what sirius needs now, another headache to deal with, didn't they have enough pain in dealing with the FCC, comon give them a break all ready.

Is a Reverse Split in the Cards for Sirius?

I still can't understand why they don't give some long term prepaid plans to raise some cash? 3 yr plan with the "best of" for $300, 5 yr plan for $400, throw in a free radio to new subs, and I'm sure they could raise the first loan due, by christmas, 1 mil subs at $300= 300 mil. They're practically giving away radios anyway at $49, eventually they will recoup this money in the longer term contract, if they need cashflow, there are many ways to get it, but this management has no imagination! Sorry Mel, great product,lousy management......

Paying Sirius Consideration

If sirius really wanted to, they could come up with 300 mil, offer a 3yr package for $300 prepaid, if 1 million subs take the offer, 300 million bucks, come on, it's just not that difficult. Will it cost them anything, I don't know, as far as I know they have fixed costs. do a 5 yr plan for $400, this gets you through the next year, hopefully the economy recovers and they can add a lot more subs, secure financing, but untill than, they need to raise cash on their own, and these are just a couple of ideas. In my opinion, they're asleep at the wheel, I'm a sub and a shareholder and I'm not pleased with what I'm hearing,(nothing). They're waiting for the holiday season? Who knows how that's going to turn out..... WAKE UP SIRIUS

Getting Cash into Sirius XM's Coffers

Those are all great ideas, will siri/xm take any of them and run with it, is entirely different, you would think they'd know this allready. In my opinion they have so many untapped avenues to go down, but I don't see anything happening. So much content going to waste. Would it be possible for existing shareholders to buy the co. outright? If enough shareholders/subs got together, say a few million, it would not take much money from each to just buy the whole co., I'm not sure how this would happen or if it even could, but I'd rather invest more in the co. than let someone else have it for peanuts, and lose what I've got invested in it now, just a thought.

Has Jim Cramer Crossed the Line with Sirius XM?

I agree 100%, he's hurt many people in a number of stocks. He killed me with NYX as I'm sure many others, such conviction in 07 and now he's bashing the co. In the case of NYX, he went on about how it was his #1 pick and he wouldn't give up on it, yet from what I could see, on his site that he charges people for, he was telling them to average down, then he dumped it, and now is bashing it telling everyone NYSE is done. Every exchange out there is having a tough time, yes the NYSE has it's issues with market share and cost cuts, and I'm sure they're working on it, but come on, to get everyone into this stock for free on his CNBC show, and than not give the same info on the way out for FREE, is a bad policy, why should I have to pay to know he's thinking of dumping it, if I didn't have to pay to hear him pitch it. In the end, I understand it's every individuals responsibility to manage their own portforlio, but I'm sure many people thought, as I did, this guy is very knowledgeable and would not steer us in the wrong direction, so much for that. I'd like to know what the percentage of his viewers actually make money with his picks?
