      Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius
      I think a lot of people are not looking at the bigger picture regarding this stock. The entire small (<1M shares) investor pool could all sell tomorrow and it would have not noticeable impact on SIRI. To give him the credit that he was responsible for a sell-off of any magnitude that resulted in a drop in this or any other stock is giving him waaaaayy too much credibility or authority. When you see volumes of 100's of millions of shares being sold in a day it is not a run by all the scared and stupid little investors. On one hand, to be fair to him at least he did put media attention on the FCC and NAB but in the scheme of things, the FCC isn't elected and has no accountability to the public. This was all worked out in big name back room deals long in advance of the airing of the reality show that is SIRI-XM, my new favorite daytime drama.

      Jim Cramer's Unnecessary Beating Over Sirius
      Cramer is no different than Brittany Spears, love me when I'm hot and please don't bother me when I hit a wall. The Fool site is also right up there with him if people really want to be misguided but for the average Joe investor, both of these newsertainment sites qualify as HEADLINES on finance.yahoo.com

      If someone shows me one analyst that actually knew how the CCU/FCC game would be played and what was needed in terms of financing to make this happen two years ago then maybe I'd consider them an "analyst". Let's face it, the FCC hates SIRI because it's content is not under their jurisdiction so that alone was reason for them to stall until the companies almost went under, then at the last minute, pull out of the mix by approving the deal so that no one could really take the blame. Any analyst with real knowledge of how the political process works should have predicted this from the get go.

      The experts are all JFO's and the deal makers will continue to keep it that way unless at a minimum the SEC does something to stop back room shorting in private and require public daily (ie. free, non-subscription based) disclosures of major investment bank / mutual fund activity. Why for example is a GS analyst allowed to trash a stock and at the same time have GS able to buy it? Because the entire trading system is rigged against individual investors, Cramer et. al are just clowns to amuse and scapegoats to keep the eyes off the real crooks, who by the way, mostly are not US citizens and have no names. If it weren't there would be complete and separate analyst coverage and an aggressive SEC oversight of all opinions to look for kickbacks to sponsors and interested parties.

      What Will the Future Hold for SIRI-XM?
      Naked shorting should be illegal across the board. If some investment banker wants to bet against a company, fine, but they should put their money on the table at that time and not be playing games with shares that are held in other funds by that company or those that people are being mislead into thinking they have purchased and are otherwise not available for manipulating the market with. If it weren't so damaging to companies it would almost be funny to see the SEC so quick to act to protect it's own children such as Fannie Mae but not take on the bigger issue. I guess we really all know who runs that show, and it ain't the taxpaying US investors.

      Just for speculative purposes, the day Clear Channel and the FCC fascists get their meat hooks on SIRI I will sell all and rip my Satradio out and piss on it. In the unlikely event that this would be seriously entertained, I'd encourage all investors to send a strong message to the SIRI board that this is unacceptable and that it will be reflected at executive officer voting time. Long live one of the only remaining uncensored freedoms in the post 911 US that is an independent SIRI.

      JD Power: Dramatic Increase in Satellite Radio Installations
      I think there is a lot of room for improvement on the retail channel side that is not far off. Used car dealers I've seen aren't installing radios, people buy them later at Best Buy etc. to have them installed. It would be hard to get a handle on the lower tier dealer used car channel because it is not centralized. Used cars at the authorized dealer level should be under similar incentives as with a new car to add satrad options to sales. I have a factory radio/CD but didn't rip it out, but somewhat reluctantly added the sat radio to my dashboard real-estate. We need motivation to make people want to replace the factory radios from people like Kenwood, Sony etc. and obviously need sweet OEM radio/cd/mp3 players. Obviously some incentives at the retail end would be good as well as completely ending the single use radio as soon as possible to eliminate the choice barrier at purchase or test time. I also think that the antenna options are sorely lacking and the sooner we stop sticking boxes to the roof and running wires out the trunk and window the faster we will see increases in adoption. There should be an OEM option for antennas to fit or retrofit all late model cars.

      Lehman, JP Morgan Weigh in on Newly-Formed Sirius XM Radio
      verySerious and other whiners do you really mean Whaaa I bet on a short term gain from the merger, whaaa I don't know a stock from a bet,..whaaaa I want everyone to hear me whaaaa, I hate it when people post factual content...whaaaa I think I can't get people to read my post without all CAPS..whaaaa I'm really a scumbag trying to tank the stock for my short positions, whaaaaaaaa...I'm an NAB hired anonymous Internet message board goon, not much different from a short seller...and terrestrial radio is dying...whaaaaaaaaaaa....

      BTW I'm in for 10,000@3.1 and am looking forward to watching the FCC and CCU have their censoring, fascist faces rubbed in it over the coming years. Also, for those unaccustomed to seeing details of executive offerings I suggest you look at the $12m cash retention bonuses that Lucent have to executives as their stock went from $80 - $1 in 2002, never mind the games being played with options. It is nothing new and absolutely not the fault of SIRI that the market allows all companies to get away with it. Where are all the whiners on the rest of the executives getting comps????

      I'm with Edster.

      If I were niave I'd be thinking how odd and dumb it would be that supposed shareholders would be blogging trash about something they own and would hope would appreciate. I think the real world is that there are droves of short selling cowards posing to be long investors in these forums who are constantly hammering SIRI to make a quick buck regardless of the merit of their case. How can we petition the SEC to ban naked short selling on SIRI who is obviously under attack by the vultures? I'd also be very leery of the motivations of the supposed analysts who keep trying to sink things as I'm sure the NAB didn't just go away when the FCC vote was cast, the real war is on as SIRI is now a direct threat and they can't do anything positive about it because of their business model.

      Sirius Stock Up as CEO Buys Two Million Shares
      Hey Satmoj you must be a real expert in Mel's business. It's a good thing for the rest of us fools that there are people like you I guess. No chance your shorting SIRI is there now. Just an fyi, regardless of if they give him 10million shares for the money he pays, the point is that they are now off the market and the sentiment is buy.

      Sirius XM's Long Road
      Stern, O&A, Oprah fans unite. Go to your tied up cash in a 401k or IRA or kids piggy bank and buy a few hundred shares and don't let them go come hell or high water. Give a real finger to big government, the FCC and the NAB. 16million subscribers can take a lot of shares off the market, you can be a part of the fun. I have 10,000 shares and am not going anywhere cause I don't even want to think about driving without SIRIUS in my car.
