That seems like a logical was to proceed. Another way is for the government to take on legacy health care costs of the big 3, health care should be free anyway, so this would be a step in the right direction.
The reason the democrats are reluctant on the bankruptsy idea is that don't want to piss off the unions by voiding UAW contracts. I think they should void the contracts, if the government is truly intends to make these companies viable.]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 14:33:42 -0500 for GM to file chapter 11, the US government would need to provide Debtor in Possession financing, because GM will not be able to get that from any other source.

it IS the yardstick for a PUBLICLY traded company, and those companies SHOULD be with ceos that maximize PROFIT and therefore SHAREHOLDER VALUE, what the f--k else is there for a publicly traded company to do, that is their raison de etre. ceos that can't do it, should retire

I hold a small position (relatively) and at this price, it's an option. I.e. it could completely lose value or go up a few hundred percent.


They are in a tough place with the debt, but they do have the advantages of having agreements with car makers to install their technology and the fact that the rechnology is good for driving, unlike wifi, which may go in and out.

Satellite radio's advantage is that it IS everywhere. As you are driving, especially on a longer road trip through perhaps remote areas, you don't want to lose your reception. This is the nice thing about satellites. They need to deliver more video and monetize the size of their audience though unobtrusive channel or time sponsorships.]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:57:52 -0500

My advice to Sirius, introduce more commercials and sell it to your consumers as a positive by marginally lowering the subscription fee. You can have a daily sponsor per music channel, you got to monetize.

And add more TV channels in HD, plus GPS, radio is pretty much dead]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:59:19 -0500

at 25 cents, or again 850 million MARKET CAP, the stock is trading at about 1 times Annual Revenue. This is equivalent to other subscription services such as Time Warner Cable and twice as expensive as another one, Dish Networks. How much growth is there left? With the current model, I think it's getting pretty saturated.

However, the positives would be expanding their service to offer:
more video channels, in HD
Internet Access via satellite
GPS

I think they have GPS integration in some models of XM

Also, they should have more commercials, or find other ways to monetize---!!! perhaps having DAILY sponsors, these are good ideas and this is sober analysis, a lot of comments here are EMOTIONAL and thus asanine and unfit for making good investment decisons, case in point, sirius from 2.50 to 25 has obviously not been a good investment in the curent climate, this Sirius Buzz, and these dumb f--ks pumping these stocks should not be looked to for advice..nor your Sirius support group buddies

Just my 2 cents, but good luck with your speculation
