Today's Market: These 5 Stocks Are Looking Like Buys [View article]
ARMH profits will double in the next 16 months and the dividend will rise alongside. Forecasted growth for 2014 will be increased late this year. They have no debt and alot of cash. Investors who buy at the current dip will be richly rewarded.

ARMH is continually adding to their repertoire. Their growth is not slowing down any time in the foreseeable future. Earnings will beat next quarter and the share price will surpass fifty dollars. It's a good time now to double-down, if you own it and an excellent time to get in before the next big run-up.

The price ha been dropping today due to more unwarranted worry about Apple's entry into the field. That's another good time to buyback shares for a few cents less, before, the next rise in price.

Apple has little, if anything, to gain by entering into this space. They simply need to show the shareholders, and the public, that they are always on the move and not sitting idle. There is nothing to indicate that this initiative will any impact on SIRI's growth.

I just received my divident from ARMH and there will be alot more where that came from. The payout has let to a fairly vigourous sell off and a drop in share price. This will be recouped in the next few weeks leading up to the financial results for the next quarter and some breaking news on where ARMH designed chips are going to be used.
Look for ARMH shares to regain the fifty dollar level and reach the sixties by the end of this year. It's a great buying opportunity at current levels.

Intel's resugence will not affect ARM's ability to continue to grow by leaps and bounds. ARMs chips are ubiquitous and will not be dislodged any time soon.
This pullback is a great time for the share buybacks to be taking place at a lower price. It's a time for the shares to gain some footing, after a fairly steep rise, before rising again with the lead up to the second quarter financial results. That will reaffirm they are doing very well and growing their profits.
The radio space options seem to be more plentiful, however, there is room for competition, just like there is in every other industry. I expect that some of the new entries will not do very well and eventually drop out. Pandora, especially, has some adjustments to make with its business plan or it won't be around in a year or two.
Sirius will definitely be there when others have fallen by the wayside. It has so much to offer, a good business plan and they are not standing still, but, they are always adding to their lineup and looking for more opportunities to expand.
This is not the time for anyone to panic, just to take a deep breath and prepare to climb the next rung on the ladder.

Sirius XM: $3.59 And Rocking - Time To Run? [View article]
I don't see the success of Sirius as a flash in the pan. This company is not resting on it's laurels. It continues to possess and develop those things which have made it successful- content, content, content.
They retain more than 40 percent of the trial subcribers because they have a product that is worth the money. There are other companies that offer music and audio entertainment and even Google is rumoured to be getting into the fray. It won't matter though, because they all have a long way to go to match the listener appeal and convenience of SiriusXM.
Sure, people pay a subscription price, but there is also a cost for listening to internet radio. Unlike SiriusXM, internet radio is not ubiquitous. You don't retain your signal everywhere you go, all the time.
Then, there is the potential for Siri to expand into other markets, attract more listeners through enhancing content even further, and, who knows what other potential exists, when you have your very own satellites overhead and substantial free cash flow.
I would not recommend to anyone that they "cut and run" now, unless they need the cash badly or simply do not have the stomach for the unavoidable "ups and downs" that the share price will experience. I am hanging long, just as I have been doing from before it fell to a few pennies a share.. I remember holding my breath to see if it would go bankrupt and then biting my nails to see if it could hold the $1 a share threshold to stay listed. It's come a long way and there's alot more growth to come.
The reward will be even more substantial for those with the fortitude and foresight to stay the course.

Spencer:
Now that Liberty Media has control of Sirius XM, is there any requirement for them to maintain 50 per cent of the shares? Even before they had that percentage, there was a good possibility they would be granted control. They have a majority of their people on the board now and Jim Meyer is likely going to remain under their influence, so I am not so sure that the 50 percent share ownership is all that important at this point in time.

I had a similar experience with a mining company that traded around $2.00 per share. They did a reverse 4 to 1 split, so my 10,000 shares became 2500. The price went to $8 on account of the split but then, went into a freefall after that and bottomed out at 40 cents. It is now at 60 cents. Before the split, I sent emails to their financial officer and argued against doing the split. His argument was that the higher price would attract more institutional investors to buy the shares. NOT!
I wouldn't pay $4.00 for a junior mining company either and you won't find alot of people that would. There is a lot of psychology involved along with understanding human nature and motivation. If you own 10,000 shares of a company and it goes to $100, you're a millionaire. If you only own 1,000, it has to rise to $1,000 to make you a millionaire. Not too many companies get anywhere near that price but, quite a few reach $100.
Not alot of people would ever consider paying $1000 for a single share but, you might consider buying 10 shares for $100 each. It just feels like you are getting more for your money even though the value is the same. That's one of the things that makes a split work and a reverse-split fail.
Wait a few months and see what happens. You may consider buying back in once it has finished dropping if you think the company has potential. A very small percentage of mining companies succeed, but the reward can sometimes be tremendous. Good luck.

In the past three years, I have owned shares of three companies that have undergone a reverse-split, the most recent being CITI. In every case,the share price went down drastically after the split and has yet to recover. One of the companies completed a 10 to 1 split, which greatly reduced my share count. A year later, they got approval to sell 5 billion new shares which greatly diluted my investment.
My experience has shown that reverse splits rarely result in a benefit to the shareholder. I have never come out ahead in these instances.
A much better course of action is a share buyback. Better still is when the company continues to grow and increase revenue and profits so the EPS becomes substantially higher which can raise the share price.
There are many companies with 5 billion shares on the market, which also have a commensurate amount of revenue and profit so that their share price is quite high. I am confident that SIRI is moving in that direction over the course of the next few years.
I would be comfortable if the number of SIRI shares was in the 4 or 5 billion range without having to complete a reverse-split.

We will have to wait and see. Last summer, I mentioned a dividend and alot of people said "no way". The rest is history. I hope I am wrong, but they have made some expensive acquisitions and cash is king. I am not the only one to note the lack of a pump. I keep hearing that Starz is different, yet, I also hear people say they may take a similar approach with Sirius. I'm pro-Sirius and very long on it, but, I felt more comfortable when Mel was calling the shots. Malone is smart but, he looks out for his own best interests not yours or mine. At present they seem to be one and the same, but that might not always be the case. Take care.
