  • Who'll Blink First: Sirius, Loral or the Banks?
    Been watching the Bid/Ask for the last two days and the orders at the Bid stack up at .25, and the orders at the Ask stack up at .30. Thought is was manipulation, but this make give me more to think about.

    Still think that is SIRI can get past the debt issue a bit they will move upward, so we all have our fingers crossed.

  • Analysts Weigh in on Sirius' First Quarter as a Merged Company
    Wow, the comment here are rougher than the analysts. SIRI is showing that they can control expenses, and service the debt. Now if they can only get the debt holders to extend or convert (2/09) then they can survive and thrive in 2009. I guess the analysts are generally in agreement. Fix the debt issue, the company survives. If they do that an RS is not needed.

  • Sirius, GM, AIG: Where Is the Leadership in American Boardrooms?
    This is one of the lamest articles i have ever read, and I am an avid reader of SeekingAlpha. If you don't understand 'impairment' and can't separate a paper 'loss' from a real one, then you should not be allowed to upload in the future. What a waste of space (and the Internet has lot it) to even put this nonsense up.

  • What Will Sirius' Q3 Look Like?
    There is a lot to look at in the results, to be sure, but more importantly is the 'guidance' from management. Specifically about sales of the 'best of' and 'ala carte' products, October Subs, and the current cash position of the company.

    A complete response to the lawsuit filed needs to be a priority, especially comments on 'going private'. Mel needs to just address this directly if he hopes to put it behind him.

  • Stifel Lowers Sirius Estimates on Weak Auto Sales
    Nothing surprising here, but it will be interesting to see how they compare to the Q3 actuals we should get next week.

  • Sirius XM Nears Top of Shorts List
    Since some 200MM of the shares shorted were 'loaned' to the bond holders under the terms of the 'ugly debt deal' done at the time of the merger, the short interest may large, but predictable. They were 'loaned' the shares for the specific purpose of shorting.

    Restructuring the debt in SIRI is management's first priority, but the debt markets are in such disarray that job is monumental.

  • Will Murdoch Make a Move on Sirius?
    Look, I like your stuff Tyler, but this is pure WAG on your part. Murdoch has passed on investments that are currently profitable, and reaching down to grab SIRI right now is highly unlikely. It would be great for shareholders to get an offer on the stock, but this one is just too much of a stretch IMO.

  • Fannie and Freddie Did Not Cause This Crisis
    Look, they are not alone in causing this mess, they had many helpers, both in the market and in Congress. That said, they are clearing culpable for their contribution, and were horribly mismanaged, and our politicians rather than siding with 'caution' panicked and threw all restraints to the wind.

    You can say they were not a major part of the problem, but they also were not sole cause of it.

  • TARP Is Just the Beginning - Barron's
    Look, we need lower interest rates now! Greenspan did keep them too low for too long, but that was then, this is now. The issue of mark to market is a major contributing factor to the spiral downward of the banking system, and needs serious correction to stem the tide of paper write downs that destroy the capital structure of the banks and further strangle the credit markets.

    A good article, and we can only hope someone is listening.

  • Mark-to-Market vs. Mark-to-History
    Dead on. This seemingly 'rational' accounting rule, has wrecked havoc in the current market, where there is no comparable value for the sale of a mortgage portfolio. Suspending, or alter it for the financial stocks would make all the sense in the world, and had it been done a year ago we would not be where we are now.

    Imagine a world where Bear, Lehman, and AIG had NOT required intervention. We might not be entering a recession, and the current 'bailout' might well not even have been discussed. Because suspending it would have 'looked bad' it was not done, and now we are much worse off. The regulators failed us, but not by under regulation, but by not regulating sensibly.

  • Giving Cramer the Benefit of Sirius Doubt
    Good balanced view. I too think that the debt deal is being negotiated right now, and once it moves into the background, the stock will really have a chance at reaching the Citi target price.

  • Sirius XM Drops NFL Ball Again
    Brandon, you are getting a little 'shrill' here. The announcements in the coming weeks should make you happier, but prior to the merger they could not know how they were going technically accomplish the the 'best of' program. In a few weeks the joint advertising strategy will be developed or set, and you will get what you want. Until then, you are really stretching it about they could and could not actually do. Relax!

  • Sirius XM Waves Goodbye to S&P CreditWatch
    Welcome relief. With the savings from the elimination of redundancies, and increased revenues from both existing and new customers the easing cash flow picture should contribute to less onerous terms for SIRI in the refinancing they face next year. After that looming issue is put to bed the future of the merged company looks bright. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

  • Citi: Sirius XM Is “Massively Undervalued”
    With the bright and shining exception of GS everyone seems to think SirusXM is undervalued. What is holding the stock back? The proof of the merger synergies is the key to the stock price. As soon as the layoffs and cost savings can be explained to shareholders and the merger plan executed the stock will move upward. After that, the simple economics of improved cash flow and a clear path to earnings will make this one of a 1.42 stock ever. A lot of pain with this merger, but the payoff becomes tangible in the coming weeks and months.

    Glad that Citi sees the real potential hidden behind the 17 months of FCC melodrama and the tough financing deal to complete the merger. Now we in the 'payoff' stage for SIRI.
