Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby 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.

Sirius XM Nears Top of Shorts List
That said I have not seen any credible evidence that Mel is a criminal or has done anything except to keep SIRIXM alive in a very difficult time. As I have said before most companies and CEO are given a few quarters before shareholders and analyst judge how good or bad they are doing with a merger. Thats right people a few quarters, not a few months.

"NEVER TRUST A COMPANY THAT SUES ITSELF!"
He is refering to a case that never included SIRI as a matter of fact the SIRI law suit came way after this case inwhich a judge told the firm that represented Brockwell in its suit with SIRI it could not practice in its state for 5 years, because it was shown that they were going after legal fees. Something they have been doing to many different companies and not to give the companies they sued a free pass on other things. It was never shown that the other companies were in with the law firm, as a matter of fact it was because of the company being sued, is why the law firm was brought to justice, they never wanted to be sued and were as mad as anyone that the firm was doing it just to get the millions legal fees.

frankiec, You are correct. what you see here are people that are pissed they sold for a loss. Most hear keep saying Mel has said nothing about the refinancing. Dhaa did they miss the 10 times he discussed it. For the few who did not miss it, they are not pleased that he is just talking about it and saying he will take care of it they want action, well how much more action or confirmation do you need then Mel saying he plans on taking out the Feb. converts using COH for half and a bank loan for the rest. That while GS would like to just reconvert the old converts that is not what Mel wants to do. You cant get any clearer then that, yet many still thought and talked about back then, bankruptcy was a possibility. Then people want to piss and moan about Mel calling them unsophisticated. I for one agree with him, It was not hard for me to figure out that the Feb. converts were not a big deal way back when this crap about bankruptcy was being talked about because of the Feb. debt.

You said this;
Mel’s History
I don’t ask anyone to believe anything. However, last week I did some online investigation of my own. A Yahoo search of Mel gave me the full story after sifting past the first 300-400 Sirius related links. Mel did build a company and cheat the stock holders once before. The situation was almost exactly the same as what we see here in Sirius today. Do your own research, or not…
This is funny because when you first brought this up you used Infinity as your example, yet when I showed you to be wrong on this (AND GAVE THE LINK) you switch it to a different company noone knows about or is not part of the history of Mel. Mel was an adman before joinning Infinity. He was not a CEO of any other company. As a matter of fact he became the CEO of Infinity after being hired to be their adman.
Next you said this;
Sirius Sued It’s Self
The Federal Judge made that summation when he issued the order to prevent the law firm from practicing in his state for 5 years. It is in the record. Please debate that one with the Federal Judge.
Now I already told you Micheal used that as a example in the law suit against SIRI as to who the law firm that now represented Brockwell and how they file frivolous law suits to get legal fees. I find it funny how a judge would involve SIRI when that case happen way before the suit with SIRI even came up. Was this judge claravoyent? The fact is the judge never mentions SIRI in that case.
Now finally if you want to bash management that is fine I dont have a problem with that. I myself think Mel should be out there giving more information and talking up the company. That said I also think it has only been a few months since the merger and there have been difficult things Mel is has and still is dealing with. Most companies that merge are given a few quarters before being judged on how well they are dealing with the merger not a few months.

Now as to why the stock is down to this PPS, I have no clue. As I have expalned, it should not have dropped because of the Bad financing to do the merger because as several others like homer and I have said and have been finally proven right (to late though because the damage was done) it was not really dilutive, or Feb. converts being a issue at all but it did. Mel has said all he needed to for intelligent people to figure out all this, hell I am not that intelligent and I did.
I will also go into the 4th quarter FCF which will be big, it is also another reason I dont think BK is a reasonable issue. SIRIXM has over 400 million in cash on hand right now. Even if you are conservative on this 4th Q FCF positive you still come up with 200 million, that gives them 600 million to play with in 2009.
Now I may look like a fool here if SIRIXM gos bankrupt but I would have lost 140,000 dollars and really would not care about what you people think anyway. But the flip side is also true if I am correct, you people that flip your opinions on this faster then a pancake, are wrong you will have lost because of one simply thing, you were dumb and could not see the facts and believed rumors instead. As a example look at how you used to think Mike H. was a nut ball and how he used conspiracy and conjecture to form his opinion. That my friends has not changed.
