      IMHO - I believe the RS and issuance of more shares will pass ( should be interesting if it doesn't though ) ..... I think Mel and the banks have already decided they would rather the public take on the risk ...... I sort of doubt any kind of bank financing other than another share offering is being seriously considered ............ There is too much uncertainty , and I think any kind of conventional loan is probably not even an option ...... banks don't like to gamble with a billion dollars long term , if there is a way to gamble with our money short term , they would rather go that route ........ but you know , they might have a problem with that too .... will there actually be buyers for more siri stock after this debacle ????????

      relmor - yes this market will be full of bear rallies for a while ....... good time to make a few bucks , but I personally am going to try my best to be disciplined and buy only on damn dirt lows ....... This market has the potential for crash and burn at any given time for the next year ....... I am going to buy PDC and hold for summer's 150 a barrel oil ........ easy double , maybe more ........ and I think a safe bet ........ helluva lot better than this mess ........... Man GM was a smokin' buy 3 days ago ...... but hell I am a little gunshy with risk nowdays !!!!!!! Wonder why ....... Thanks for the education SIRI !!!!!!!

      Konsta - I agree with you 100% ...... the problem is that on the music channels , subs will be very intolerant for commercials ........ 2 things satrad subs pay for ........ commercial free music , and uncensored content ...... without those , Siri is just FM .......... But hell yes , Siri definately needs to get there heads out of their A's and generate more revenue ......... You are congratulated for being in shallow , and at a low price ....... I was one of those idiots that bought into the product / hype , and I am holding 20,000 shares at 3 bucks .......... No silver linings for me ........ Luckily , I have made a few other , better investments in companies that make money , so all is not lost ........ but damn it sure stings a bit ......... and just tit for tat on the insults , nothing personal , and since I was born and raised here , hell I might as well stay ....... I can't even speak Spanish , much less Russian

      Cos - Yes you are right about commercials ....... once the foot is in the door , we know it will go just like SAT TV ......... more commercials than regular TV !!!!!!!! ........ and yes my wishful perfect world scenario of just a 30 second promo spot per hour would surely "evolve" over time into 10 minutes of heavy metal skateboard power caffiene meth drink ads in no time ......... so you are definately right ....... we should probably not even open THAT door ......... and you know , having some music play without any commercials is a very valuable commodity ............. Two things Siri has going ......commercial free music , and uncensored talk ..

      I also just read the S&P story , along with today's Motley Fool which said , even though Mel said , " No BK " , it may not be entirely up to him .......and it also said more shares issued would be " colossally dilutional " ....... oh boy

      Bummer on the S&P , that was one of my last glimmers of optimism ...... and now it downgraded

      Of course it is a strange time to downgrade ....... seein' how the stock is on it's way up for a while ......... Hmmmmmmmmm .......... They act like they just now figured out refinancing is going to be difficult

      s162 - You must have a High Def Crystal Ball !!!!!! About as far as my old Magnavox Crystal ball can see is a definate pop on GM bail ........ depends on how much the Guv will dole , and how fast GM can put it to good use ( in other words re - tool to build high quality mass market autos , NOT more frickin' Escalades , but something that will REALLY give the Camry and Civic a run for their money ) ......... and it also depends on UAW concessions ........ but if GM ( wish I had bought this AM ) comes to Washington with a solid game plan , and a REAL vision for the future , then they will be on the short list for 50 billion , and THAT news will pop Siri to .30 and above ............ If not , then something is really screwey , but Siri is about to bust away from the teens soon ....... AFTER THAT , you are better qualified to judge ........... and your scenario makes sense except I have a hard time fathoming a nickel ...... If I sell all on the pop , i will buy back at a dime ........... hell we wouldn't want to get greedy !!!!!!! ...... but if Siri goes to a nickel ........ you deserve to make a killing for seeing it ......... and if you ever decide to sell that HDCB , I'll give ya 50 bucks for it !!!!!!

      Concerning commercials on radio ........ I think people can tolerate some advertisements , no doubt , but THE REASON people are sick of AM / FM , is because the commercials are relentless ....... I bet FM has 30 minutes every hour of either ads or station identification , or slot promo's ...... and most of it is noisy and idiotic adolescent BS garbage

      I think about 5 minutes per hour is the ceiling of tolerance subs will be willing to listen to on a pay radio ........ and even that is shaky ground ..... but I think Siri could manage a spot or two for some revenue without much collateral damage ........

      I make you sick because I am sick of being solicited and bombarded with commercials every frickin' where I go , and telemarketers call me constantly on the phone ( oh yes I am on the no call list ) , and you tell me to move to a communist country ????? Which is the patented response most dimwits come up with .......... Bite me ........Oh , and P.S. , Advertisements are quite common in communist countries , so save your " Love it or Leave it " BS for someone else .............. I try not to be crappy on this board , but YOU started it

      We are talking about the MUSIC channels here , and no one is " crying " ..... but if Siri puts 10 minutes of commercials every 50 minutes as they do on Howard ...... Subs will bail , and that is what schellem is indicating .......... If subs bail , you can bet your ass we will ALL be crying ............ Tyler's article is about the balance between generating revenue without pissing off a ton of subs ......... and it CAN be done , but not at any 10 minutes for every 50 of programming ........... might as well listen to FM if you have that garbage

      s162 - " Some people have no conscience "

      AMEN to that

      and my response to all those people without consciences is :

      " What profiteth a man to gain the whole world , and yet lose his very soul "


      EVERY boardroom in America should have that plastered on the wall

      1.5 billion shares , and a 20 - 1 RS would be palatable ....... and probably the " right " thing to do ....... BUT with millions of dollars at stake , if 50 - 1 RS , and 3.5 billion shares are authorized ????? Don't you think the temptation to max it out would be enormous ?????

      Do the right thing vs Max it out and raise another 500 million dollars ???

      ethically it would be rotten to the core ..... finacially , it would be the company's complete salvation ( I emphasize " company's " salvation , NOT " our " salvation )

      However , 50 -1 , and 3.5 B shares would make even the greediest CEO cringe in horror ........... so I suspect to lessen the blow it will end up 30 - 1 , and 2.5 B ....... and I do not think just enough to pay off '09 debt is the plan ........ future operating capital is in the mix also

      If ANYONE thinks the RS is about delisting you are delusional ....... Let's just get that out of the way now ........... The dilution and RS is an opportunity for Siri to raise MORE CAPITAL ............ Period , end of story

      Everything else is smoke and mirrors

      Face it people - WE are " old money " , and we can analyze this to death , but the bottom line is that Siri smells new money , and all they have to do to get it is to throw us under the bus ...... It WILL be done , and it will be rationlized as the " ONLY " way , when in reality , it is simply the EASIEST way .......... IMHO

      The ONLY type of ad that would be feasible on a music channel is a 5 second spot per hour that would go something like this ...... " Your listening to Sirius / XM channel 101 ...... Thank you Pepsi for sponsoring the Led Zeppelin channel " ...... and then you'd better play some damn music real quick !!!!!!!!!! .........or else you are going to piss a lot of people off ......but 5 seconds per hour 24/7 on a hundred channels would be worth some badly needed revenue ......... and I think you could get some buyers on that
