Sirius XM Show or Tell - A Rebuttal

I don't think the company should be spending valuable time and resources chasing the stock price in order to scare MMs and Hedge Funds. That's a tough fight to win, just ask Patrick Byrne.

Satellite Radio Investing Made Simple

You saw what the DOJ and FCC did to the stock for the past 17 months, now give Mel 17 months to see what he can do. From where I sit, the future has never looked brighter.

A Satellite Radio Giant's Surprising Small Audience

Great post statik! When did this "sputnik" come crashing down on us? First of all, since when has 18.5 million listeners been considered a small audience?.....By what standard?.....And why do you think sub numbers are a little thin?.......Gee, could it possibly be related to slumping auto sales and our economic crisis? I guess since auto sales are down substantially, that must mean consumers are simply not interested in vehicles anymore. Would you like to buy a clue Jeff? (It's the economy, stupid). And what about this concept Jeffy - do you think the long delay in merger approval may have exacerbated the problem SatRad is experiencing? You got any "in depth" analysis on that? Now get on outa here with your alleycat coat, wearing Hush Puppy shoes........cuz you're dismissed!!!

PS - Say "hi" to your inside source for me, ok?

FCC Commissioner Copps Votes "No" to Radio Merger: No Surprise

tech,

You're kidding, right?? Obviously you missed the sarcasm in my message. Try turning the monitor upside down and read it again. Perhaps then you'll agree that I'm bunking in the same camp as you.

FCC Commissioner Copps Votes "No" to Radio Merger: No Surprise

Alan,

Pandora might have an advantage over XM/SIRI for online listeners (i.e. it's free), but most people want mobile radio, meaning in the car and handheld radios.

FCC Commissioner Copps Votes "No" to Radio Merger: No Surprise

Thanks for your diligent service to our country, Commissioner Copps. We can all sleep easier now, knowing this great land of opportunity is much safer. You certainly have your finger on the pulse of the "real" threat to this nation - SDARS! Please extend my sincere appreciation to your staff as well, including but not limited to the NAB, C3SR, Georgetown Partners and the honorable Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Peace be with you.

XM's Pre-Announced Q2 Results May Hold Merger Clues

Ya know, all this talk about concessions has been a complete criminal facade from the beginning. The FCC, NAB and Georgetown Partners have been pulling these "talking points" out of their collective backsides just to delay the merger in hopes that the two companies would either "die on the vine" or the competition could develop a marketing strategy to regain control. It reminds me of a scene from the movie, Diehard, where Hans Gruber makes his frivilous demands in exchange for release of the hostages. It was all just a decoy to a much more sinister plan. Here's how it went - " I have comrades in arms around the world languishing in prison.
The American State Department enjoys rattling its sabre for its own ends.
Now it can rattle it for me.
The following people are to be released from their captors.
In Northern Ireland, seven members of the New Provo Front.
In Canada, the five imprisoned leaders of Liberté de Quebec.
In Sri Lanka, the nine members of the Asian Dawn."

Get my point?

XM-Sirius Merger Clears Major Hurdle

21st Century - Radio is free......terrestrial, that is. But if you want better content and commercial free music, you gotta give up a small amount of squibbage to partake. Pretty simple concept, but somehow several Congressmen and State's Attorneys wanna make it into something much more elaborate and complex.

XM-Sirius Merger Clears Major Hurdle

Free Satellite?? And how would they stay in business if they offer free radio? Maybe we should start with "free" cable tv and see how that works out. I think 13 dollars is pretty cheap for 180 stations of music, talk, traffic, weather, comedy and just about anything under the sun. Hell, people are willing to pay 5 dollars for a Mocha Frapaccino at Starbucks, or 5 dollars for a case of bottled water at the grocery store but won't squeeze out 43 cents a day for all that SatRad has to offer.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
