  • The Importance of Positive EBITDA to Sirius XM Shareholders  [View article]
    It is amazing to me how the Street is so biased against this stock. It is a bunch of sour grapes. Cramer and others at the Street should take their own advice and simply admit when they are wrong. They were dramatically wrong about the last quarter and about insiders selling shares for any reason except a simple pay day. The Street, with its continued negative articles against a company that just had an excellent quarter, is becoming more and more irrelevant. Looking at The Street's books, it is simply a matter of time until they file for bankrupcy.

  • On The Street's Sirius Bashing - Will They Never Learn? [View article]
    My mom used to say the proof is in the pudding. The negative articles, the bashing, the outright lies, they can't stop the auto companies from continuing and continuing and continuing and continuing to factory install Sirius satellite radios into the vehicles. I'm a contrarian, so may I step out of a limb. THIS IS THE BEST BUSINESS MODEL THAT I HAVE SEEN IN FREAKING YEARS. YOU ARE GUARANTEED A SALE. The radios continue and continue and continue to display nicer, toggle better, and the tech such as Sky Dock is continuing to look more and more awesome. Mel: You deserve accollades from the Street and The Fool and as we continue to recover, your turn around of this company has been absolutely phenomenal. Thank you, Between the Hedges

    Two near term catalysts: 1. interview with Tuna Amobi set for tommorrow and 2. ad campaign about to be unleashed.

    Long term catalyst: shorts fear of a bidding war for Sirius between Ergen of DISH and Malone of DIRECT TV. Dear Ergen and Malone, you better bid now before the stock price starts to go up due to the recently excellent quarter.

    Pell: You and I can sit here and speculate all day. Not going to do any good. The analysts that are initiating coverage and also increasing target prices are the experts. Do you do your own surgery or let a doctor do it? Relying on your own analysis will end up the same result of doing your own surgery. I am simply parrotting the analysts that have .90 to $1.35 stock price targets on this puppy. From a macro level, you need to remember the banks led us down because they could not raise private capital. Guess what everyone seems to be missing. They are raising private capital. Get ready for the bounce.

  • Sirius XM Long Term Investors Will Make a Good Deal of Money - Gabelli  [View article]
    The steady person in all of this is Mel and it kills the media. Lets go back to the fundies. 3 reasons that stock price tanked:
    1. Merger with XM brought in some huge short term debt due to the length of time it took to approve.
    2. We had the largest investment bank failure ever due to Lehman's fall which caused a significant short term credit freeze.
    3. Autos tanked and bottomed.

    It was a perfect storm.

    Sailor Mel, took the helm and guided the ship through 1 and 2 by getting John Malone on board as co-captain. 1 and 2 AVERTED and gravy is he's basically merged with Liberty.

    3. Autos are recovering and additionally Sirius is taking huge steps with getting the product sold in other ways than just attached to auto sales. As autos recover further and continue and continue to factory standard install the radios, subs will increase. Additionally the $20 for five months program, used cars program, rental cars program, Sky Dock, Apple apps will add subs.

    Mel is also looking to the future. He is looking to go international and I guaranderntee you that he will be on the Droid and Blackberry very very soon.

    Next leg is up up up and away!!!

  • Sirius: The Next Great 'Crisis' and Some Forgotten Facts [View article]
    You can't stop the train. The auto companies continue and continue and continue and continue and continue to install and install and install and installl standard standard standard standard Sirius XM radios into the cars as they are produced on the lines. They are the ultimate speaker as to whether Sirius XM is the radio of the future. Broadcast TV has finally heard the death nell. Soon terrestrial will hear it. Terrestrial tries to scare you with OH NO, look out for internet, but think about it, either you will have to drive around with a HUGE cable attached to your car or as you go in an out of service areas, you will lose your signal. Internet radio is a freaking joke like terrestrial for the traveler. My advice for all of you. This is the best business model around. As a stock owner you are basically guaranteed growth. How fast, who knows, but growth it is. It will spurt in some times in the future and slow down in others, but as muck as Doom aka Pell aka Jarrod tries to get GM, Ford, Acura, BMW, Mercedes, Chevrolet, Hertz, Alamo, Apple, on and on to quit offering the product, they will not. They simply keep on adding more and more products. Profit on the way. You are already sad if you were short, you soon will be doomed if you aren't long.

  • Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin Dismisses Rumors of Job Offer [View article]
    Oh lovely Pell, aka Siri Doom, I'm sure that you read this and weeped when you saw Mel himself discuss my option to avoid your much advocated R/S: BUY BACK SHARES!!!!! Read it and weep baby!!!

    In a Fox News exclusive, Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) CEO Mel Karmazin sat down with Neil Cavuto to discuss the current Satellite Radio environment. Karmazin reiterated his position that Sirius XM is now a cash flow growth story as opposed to a subscriber growth story, as he described the newly merged Sirius XM Radio’s generation of positive free cash flow. He indicated that free cash flow is what will enable the company to pay down debt, buy back shares of its stock and make acquisitions.

    Direct TV is the suitor of choice as, if I recall correctly, they are the only company that can take advantage of the tax break as Sirius carved out an exception for them in the poison pill language. I would need to review the language again. Can anyone help with this?

  • October Auto Sales Look Positive for Sirius XM [View article]
    Pell: Pull at 10 year chart. No reverse split before when times were rough. No reverse split now. The stock roared back from current levels. No one saw Howard coming. Hit the shorts like a ton of bricks. Mel can pull rabbits out of hats. He has done it before. No justification to short anymore. Debt refied, autos rebounding, and new gadgetry/lines of business (corporate, military, used cars, rental cars, Apple customers) galore. 2 hours 20 minutes to Doomsday for shorts.

  • Sirius XM's Nasdaq Non-Compliance Opportunity [View article]
    Earlier in the year, Sirius got a delisting warning letter about the Board of Directors losing a guy to the government or something like that. The stock is up huge since then. If this is all that Siri Doom has to offer up, he is grasping for straws that are non-existent. All the evidence indicates upside well above $1.00 by year end.

    Pell: I'm not a day trader. I will tell you what I feel. I have not said to get rid of Sirius. I said that I was worried about the law suit and the Howard situation. That is it. I never said sell. Always stood by long.

    Best Buy reported a phenom quarter, but gave ultra conservative guidance. No worries there. Would not buy Best Buy, but would look at their sales in determining Sirius next move. Sales were nothing less than fantastic.
