Sirius XM: An Equity Adrift

Tyler as usual I am impressed with your reports regarding SIRIUS XM. What you say is true that 2009 will be a real challenge for the satilite company to deal with its financial needs. Investing in the stock as you say is currently a speculation and will continue to be so based on the companie common stock market price. I am a speculator holding but 4,000 shares of which I purchased, 1m at $1.53 four years ago and just recently purchasing 3m additonal shares at well under $1.00 a share. For the benefit of all holders of SIRIUS XM common stock I hope the price per share will begin to rise in the near future.

Sirius' Future Looks More Promising Than Ever

Edster agrees with hausten's comment. He is optomistic regarding satelite TV and thinks the New Year 2009 will be a pleasant surprise to those holding shares in the company. At age 78 I may still see the day when things prove favorable for SIRIUS/XM. My recommendation to those who have held on to shares through the crises continue to hold on. Look to Mel and his management team to make the company profitable beginning in the near foreseable future.

Sirius' Future Looks More Promising Than Ever

Look for continued positive news from Sirius/XM management in 2009. Reverse split at this time in my opinion is not the answer and I believe patience will be rewarded with a surprising stock price increase back to over a $1.00 a share. Happy New Year to all.

Sirius XM Works Hard to Reduce February Debt

Looks like my final comment was unacceptable for posting; outlook too pesemistic.

Sirius XM Works Hard to Reduce February Debt

This will be my last comment. Hope is beginning to look more and more like hopelessness for SIRIUS/XM stock holders of which I am one. Thanks to the FCC lengthly delay and now the current economic crises it is beginning to look like doom and gloom for the recent merged SIRIUS and XM Satelite companies.

Clarifying Sirius XM Reverse Split Issue

Both management and the stock holders are in my opinion have taken action that I am hopeful that not only will the merged company survive but not long in the future will be profitable which will reflect in stock price and significant recovery from past losses in stock value.

Sirius XM's Guidance News is Substantial

Good news for Sirius for a change. Good luck to all holders and may the news reflect in increase in the stock price in 2009. Wishing a happy New Year to all holders who have waited so long for good news. This holder is confident that CEO Mel and his administration team will make the merged satelite an eventual success hopefully with much progress in 2009.

Major League Baseball Hits Sirius XM

Made I thought was a good comment. It was complementing on Tylers continued reporting of activities effecting the Sirius/XM company. I did want to raise the question regarding the stock activitity. Seems to me with all that volume and no really movement in the stock there has to be some stock price manipulation?

Major League Baseball Hits Sirius XM

Tyler I always enjoy your reporting regarding Sirius/XM since I personally have a comparative small stake in the satilite company. A measly 4,000 shares the first 1000 of Sirius which I bought some 4 years ago at $1.62 a share. At age 78 I currently no longer play the market but will hang on to the shares just in case things work out for the company. My convidence is in CEO Mel and his administrative staff. Whether I live long enough to see the stock get back over a dollar a share only the good Lord knows. Keep up the good work of reporting news relating to Sirius/XM hopefully good news. Thanks Tyler and good luck in your career.

Hartleib vs. Sirius XM: Dismissed

Tyler when can the stockholders expect the stock price to be at least over a dollar so that Mel won't have to take the company private. I am optomistic and feel that Mel will bring us Sirius/XM holders some good news prior to Christmas. Would be a nice present for all holders I am sure to see the stock continue to trade on the American Exchange and that the price manipulators be eliminated. The daily volume is too high considering there is little or no change in stock price so the only ones trading are those that somehow manipulate by buying and selling for short term profits?

Sirius Finally Provides Wall Street the Clarity It Demanded

I agree with all the comments that are opposed to a reverse split. I do believe that CEO Mel was forced to mention to us stock holders the possibility of a required stock reverse split. But that it is his desire to do that only as a last resort. Hopefully the reverse split never occurs since there is that possibility that after the reverse split the stock price could go right back down under $1.00 a share. Shareholders once again would be the looser.

What's Behind Sirius' Big Gain?

Tyler your articles are always welcome. You keep us stock holders posted and up todate on SIRIUS-XM satalite radios future. Satalite radio is here to stay and the stock price in the near future will verify this comment. CEO Mel and staff will in the near future meet stockholders expectations. Maybe soon the negative comments will demonstrate more optomism. Good luck to all share holders. I now have 2,000 shares after purchasing 1,000 SIRIUS-XM yesterday @$.36. Bought my first 1,000 four years ago at $1.62. We should hear from Tyler more positive articles in the New Year 2009.

Analysts Find It Hard to Be Bullish on Sirius XM

Some interesting comments. Would love to see the price once again over a dollar a share. Not looking forward to being delisted from NASQ. Also would not like to see a reverse split. Hope CEO Mel and staff solve the immediate credit problem. Difficult in these times of serious financial crisis/

Is a Reverse Split in the Cards for Sirius?

Who is to say after a reverse split the stock will go up? In fact it will no doubt go right back down to todays price of $.35. I guess I made another bad investment. Holding on for four years in retrospect was stupid. I now have lost my confidence in Sirius and in CEO Mel. The stockholders are all holding the bag. What does Mel and the other executives have to lose they already have lined pockets.

GM/Chrysler Merger Could Be Very Interesting for Sirius

Tyler thanks for keeping us informed. A merger of both GM and Chrysler would in my opinion be a real plus for Sirius-XM stock holders. There is much hope for those who hold the stock and there is good reason to be optomistic. CEO Mel and team will not let the stockholders down.

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.

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.
