What Is the Motivation Behind Negative Press on Sirius XM?

Yes, great article because it's so obvious. I also believe that many against Siri are old time Radio people, like very respected & well known and liked by many people. Like a few over 55 people who made thier entire lives in Radio, who were against the merger for very deep and historical reasons, kind of like an old boy's network of sorts. I think it's a very touchy subject for that reason because many might actually be people you would respect so much more than the people who obviously took advantage of the market as Mel came out to market his company (like the first visit to Mad Money)
Then they waged war on the merger which basically killed the stock and almost the company. I got hurt on this, it was actually my least important position that I just threw into as a gamble and it ended up taking more time and money than any of the bigger investments/because with strong one's you might go down alot, but if you do your homework, you ARE more likely to make it back faster. So we're all guilty of letting this thing suck us into the gossip and drama like the latest story on entertainment news :-) It's become this hobby like reading your favorite column or following your favorite sports team that always loses........ How bout that?
Anyway, I really want to see this revalued and growth to be there and targets to rise! :-) I think the stations and all the people they have made places for and the amount of material is really incredible and blows the doors off what Radio has ever been.
But I have just a little feeling that I'm on the opposite side of some very long time, well known, respected people who have had something very personal tugged out from under them. I think that is why Cramer is acting this way. Because It's NOT about the Money ~ It's personal. (thats why its so obvious and that's why it seems to be so lopsided) He likes to take a stand on issues like that.......oh, and he THRIVES on taking the Heat for it too!

SEC Makes a Move on Naked Short Selling: Too Little, Too Late for Sirius

Also~ Information is all out there~ people use it one way or the other~ you can't sit and expect for your position to be treated fairly~ you can't "expect" "someone" to do the right thing by the shareholders....

While I admit, there has been horrible actions taken on shorting etc... that really~ should have been better regulated for ANY company heading into merger or when an entire market is under attack....

But~ seriously, you have to ask your self why you keep "expecting" the market to treat you fairly:-) It's doesn't. Ever. It's completely against it's normal nature:-) This is NOT the FAIR...:-) Good luck everyone...

SEC Makes a Move on Naked Short Selling: Too Little, Too Late for Sirius

Re~ insider selling~ I've been watching it also. Seriously, I don't think insiders have any idea what the market will do to the stock~ they have no control over it so as you or them~ they have no HUGE advantage of knowledge to base the decisions off of.... It's wise if you hold the quanities they do I think, to shave a bit routinelly~ ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HOLD OPTIONS that let you buy back at .32 in the future...(see previous filings)

so that's why~ the will see thier 1.5 million shares possibly reduced to like 300,000 so why not take advantage of the high quanities to sell some now~ after the fact it will be a slow recovery of thier original value no matter what ~ and they get to dip in with thier options later :-) sweet deal!

P.S.~ Just to clarify from my last post ~ I believe they are recovering nicely ~ I believe over $1 Soon, then to $3 ~ then by mid next year $5 or something like that ~ I just mean don't expect ~ not to have a reverse split~ sometime before any of those targets are met...

Sirius XM Silences Critics with New Contract for Karmazin

Just wanted to note that these options to purchase at a later date, which is always a common practice but say something about the reverse split potential also. They didn't just give him 120 million in stock. They gave him the option topurchase it later at .42. Which he'd excercise NOW, with the reverse split (say 5 for 1) he'd have 24 million in stock and a future value in like 2years of say $5, would equal $120 million cash..& that he waits to buy after the split, he's doing so much better...
I don't want the split. But they keep pointing out that it's shareholder approved/board approved... a couple times now~ so that if/when it does happen people won't beable to blame them and smart people will know already what their position is. For some reason, human nature is to continually EXPECT the RIGHT thing to happen ~ that being what WE think the RIGHT thing is~ and when it doesn't then Someone just took advantage of you~ WELL, sometimes all the signs and evidence was there all along, don't keep expecting a fairytale. That's why you have to just know your position is once of chance~ It's when your all wrapped up & emotionally "invested" with the promise of this thing actually going to $1 pretty near term. The reality that it actually COULD do it, because REALLY by NOW we should know, anything is possible with all thats happened...Just don't bet your life on it because your just "trading" and by nature~ your riding the curve and it could go many ways and is always unpredictable ~ THAT's what has people acting all disturbed in these blogs ~

Also, Goldman~ If you really think they'd waist anytime playing around shorting this stock~ when they have HUGE market share to retain and go after clients to retain and major Global re shuffling in thier business going on? Then you just don't understand who they are, Really.
Have to have SOME emotional distance~ so the thing doesn't take you on such a ride~ happy-tickedoff-happy-... off~ like a maniac where YOU can't even believe what you just wrote ~ on a blog! Peace

22thoroughbred,
hmmm? then I don't understand how that works at all (which I thought I did?) Looked to me that they where made an offer to Give up thier shares (sell at the current mkt price of .35) When they dumped thier last week or so, then, as part of thier Salary package they are offered "Stock" Options that they could buy back (a certain set number of shares) in the future at the cost per share of .35 ~ that looks like the deals that were cut to me? I guess I meant "Stock options" Not just "options"
(using .35 for an example)

What about reverse stock split?? Officers sold positions for OPTIONS to buyback at a cost of .35 in the future (which means AFTER reverse split) I'd REALLY like to believe holders will be happy after split, but experience tells me it never works out that way....

oh, unless your not thinking about it for a year...then you'll be okay...

Sirius XM Goes Worldwide with Liberty Global

What about the reverse stock split?? I mean wont it matter to you if you have 5000 shares and they get cut to 1000 shares? I KNOW the value does not change you get the upped stock price in value but what about the increase after the split?
So the stock increases by $1 you get $1000 not $5000 or if you had 10,000 shares and a 1 for 5 split gives you 2000 shares ~ I mean won't that matter to you? Is this Not why all the insiders have SOLD their shares to get the "options" to purchase at .35 later?
but shrinking the shares outstanding now...?

I THINK this is where Cramer is coming from( I have not checked his comments at all) but he knows how things slice ~ and he is being his usual by saying the stock is worthless, because basically your gonna fell pretty beat up after the reverse split No? But AFTER that he will probably Re-value the stock price, as other analysts will also... Then, it will be pretty good?
