    5dollar surcharge for xm on directv-or its gone

    About 20million subscribers on Directv =100million in new revenue

    15bucks a month for xm in car/100M-is the equivilant of 6.7 million new subs dollar wise-

    instantly-

    You dont have to wait for automobiles oh hum to put hardware in etc etc

    Anyone familiar with that contract of xm and directv?

    Donno What their interest rates are based on- if not fixed they are variable with any fluctuation of other interest rates-the company will be in trouble-No Marketing is key and it starts will them marketing themselves on a product already delivered on directv called xm

    Or they need to nix xm on directv and makes us pay 5 bucks a month to have it-Id pay it-so would you-How many people have directv that get some xm for free-20 plus million

    You do the math-since u are so opinionated

    Got that info on the rates?

    I have nice legs but hardly wear shorts. Dont know how u get that i am a leverage guy
    Nope -its all about marketing not automobiles

    'This ridiculous attitude you and "Bonita Bob" have of "if we build it- they will come"

    Is a really really bad business model-And only good if the entire world economy stays stable for the interim

    For with all the debt sirius has interest rates will be and you can quote me- 8 percent by yr end 2010-Whadda think that will do for their bottom line?

    When was the last time gold was inflationary without interest rates-Somethings gotta give

    Aint enough time for your model to work without advertising .
    Sirius doesnt have time that u think they do.

    You had better get rid of any loans floating on interest rates by Feb -Dont worry about me

    And that aint no fish story.

    So how do you think they will sell all their other peripherals
    Sykdock,stillettos,pum...

    Arent you the one spouting globalization and awareness????

    Buddy, do you really think the average Joe is going to get a car with sirius- like it and say- hey I wonder what else they got????Let me call em up-

    Better still, they say- lets go to the acne ridden 10 dollar an hour yo yos that work at Best Buy -and see the sirius stuff( that they know nothing about) whilst dusting off the box deafened by the adjacent woofer noise?

    Dont think so-But, If you thinks so-

    Can I live in your world?

    Rhapsody.com 's add are more prolific and universal then those of their "competitors"

    Subliminal ads the siri puts out- as raf mentioned on cnbc are worthless

    Siriux/xm at least needs to be advertising on directv

    they need a jungle to get them out of the jungle

    ah Duh!

    He is a smart guy- but a bad communicator.
    He does a well as a certain loud mouth female from Alaska in an interview
    He really needs someone to speak for him- that wall street likes and respects.

  • Liberty's Sirius Preferred Stake Expected to Be Spun Off [View article]
    Bottom line - Sirius XM will definitely be in play sometime in the future, due to the substantial added value this company can bring to any one of the major companies in media and/or wireless/internet arenas -


    makes sense RAF but there are too many egos on the board to give up control-Mel doesnt want money- he wants notoriety-you could see it in his seated posturing while on cnbc-aint gonna happen-

  • On The Street's Sirius Bashing - Will They Never Learn? [View article]
    The system is working girls.

    My subscription ran out on my new car-When it was supposed to in fact

    I called the 1888 number and bought a new subscription.

    T'was easy.

    What are you all arguing about-Afghanistan and Health care are a bit more important-Dont you think

    Looks like some of you need to seek a missionary job with all of your free time.

    Do some good for someone else other than your obvious self absorption with this company.

  • Sirius XM: Not Completely Out of the Woods Yet [View article]
    SatRad is a luxury item ?? to quote you Hmmmmmm.

    If you are referring to that which is unnecessary as "luxury" - perhaps one can make the statement for all of the peripherals mentioned above including cell phone texting for non business use and useless articles written on a luxurious computer.

    What?-Your thinking is quite dated - I suppose that once something becomes mainstream like a microwave, it is no longer a luxury but a necessary item (to heat up popcorn and baked potatoes.) How about a porcelain fountain

    Baked is this article- Mel is at the edge of the woods friend, there is no cliff (except in your mind)- just green pastures ahead

    Steakhouse boy-What about that BMI you carry per your photo? 100,000 deaths attributed to morbid obesity last year alone= Over eating and drinking a luxury?

  • Sirius XM Should See a Return to Subscriber Growth - Barrington Research [View article]
    Be thankful Pell that this issue did not mirror prior dysfunctional behavior- as no run up was seen to Q3 and a modest gain today was made. The market was up quite a bit and I hate to disillusion you -money was spent more wisely on other larger companies . No fear though -this is good- Siri is actually starting to act like a real stock re trading.Money will come back in on a down day.

    CNBC was a bit hard on Mel after the commercial re competition. He did well with the televised interview Poor guy though needs some better fitting chompers.

  • Shorts Bet Against SIRI, But For Emmis and Entercom [View article]
    Your brother in law? I didn't make this up- IM dead remember?

    Lets hope he knows more about life then mattresses

    looks like Tuna needs to get himself- a porcelain fountain

    ----------------------...

    Where's the magic? Anxious consumers pull the rug out from under Tuna Amobi's stock picks


    TWO OF TUNA AMOBI'S STOCK PICKS--A COMPANY that sells mattresses and another that sells cars--were big disappointments. Even The Walt Disney Co. didn't have enough magic to rescue the investments chosen by the New York City-based director of Standard & Poor's consumer discretionary equity research.

    Amobi's three stocks--all companies that sell things that consumers can go without during hard times--lost a combined 34.5%, while the S&P 500 index fell 10.6% over the year.

    [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

    Tempur-Pedic International Inc., a maker of high-end mattresses and pillows, nosedived by almost 62% as the housing crisis sapped demand. "What we didn't anticipate was the acuteness of the crisis in the housing sector, 1 which eventually took a major toll on Tempur-Pedic--among other home furnishing stocks;' Amobi says.

    The weakening economy left skid marks on the stock of Group 1 Automotive Inc., which fell 40.9%. The auto retailer seemed like a good bet because it sells a mix of domestic and import vehicles. But economic anxiety and rising gasoline prices swamped the entire industry.

    Despite its flat stock price, Disney was Amobi's best pick. The diversified business, powered by everything from its theme parks to its High School Musical movie franchise, managed to navigate the slippery economy and the three-month Writers Guild of America strike. Share repurchases buoyed the stock as well.

    Amobi still likes all three investments. Disney; with its strong fundamentals and leadership, could touch $45 within the next 12 months. Group 1 could reach $35, and Tempur-Pedic may hit $20 within a year, Amobi says. Group I and Tempur-Pedic, he reasons, are bargains at their depressed prices.

  • Blackberry Finally Gets Sirius [View article]
    Why can't Sirius avoid the middle with the usual end around play using substitutes from the bench

    ... By announcing all this stuff via their own press release- it doesnt cost anything and by golly has allot more credibility

    ....Then and only then guys like Charles and Spencer and Brandon and RAF.... Write about it and make comment- anybody???????

    pissttttt... Don't tell anyone I just got this from a clandestine obscure web site.....

    Sirius is traversing this circle counterclockwise. (as looking from the equator) and with a counterproductive effect

    Amen
