      Ousting Sirius CEO Karmazin Is a Crazy Idea
      sl62: Thanks. Here's the deal as I see it. You know that I think sat rad has no long term future in and of itself. It will live or die on it's ability to lock up talent, not as a monopoly on hardware. Think how many years Apple spent in the desert because they maintained their monoply on hardware, with a superior product, while Microsoft ate their lunch by being everywhere. Cars are not a problem, relying ONLY on cars is the problem, and they have no other revenue streams to speak of. When the host organism dies, the parasite dies too.

      bananaz: If you think that institutional shareholders are holding common stock alone, like you and me, . . . sigh! Never mind.

      JCGRIS Mel made money for himself, just like Donald Trump. The road is littered though with shareholders and partners of Trump who have lost money. If you have held this stock for four years, then you have already lost a ton of money that nothing will ever get you back, Opportunity cost! Find that woman and punch her in the face. lol

      Hey Brandon, Mel completely misjudged the market and sold his soul to the car devil. He has NO product whatsoever that is interesting in anyway to teenagers (don't say Howard please, he is an old man to them). He also has no product that compels women to buy. He has no product that is easily portable like the Ipod. So exactly what part of the business plan has worked? Oh, and gotta ask how the MadDog thing is working out. What twelve or thirteen subscribers will he pull in that aren't already there because of the sports broadcasts. The stock price is an accurate reflection of Mel's continuing misjudgement!

      Commercials on Sirius XM: Benefit vs. Backlash
      Watching the Giants Redskins game, and saw a commercial for the Dodge Ram truck. Hmmmm, advertising wi-fi connectivity, but not Sirius. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the wave of the future. Wifi, not sat rad. If we can get out whole, that would be great, but 5 years from now, there won't be any Sirius.

      Sirius Investors Face Difficult Decisions: It All Boils Down to Faith
      markbmark. No there isn't gonna be any investigation of any kind. There will be dozens of shareholder suits of course, but the government isn't coming to save us!

      Three Reasons for Sirius Aggravation
      relmor; I respect your opinion, but who on this board, even me who you know thinks sirius has no long term future, would have ever guessed that it would trade at 16 cents. So we would be crazy to assume, that it can't go to any particular price.

      Also, you are right that they don't fear a takeover, ironically enough because of the huge bloated number of shares make that unwieldy and the limited prospect of financing capability.

      I said about buying at one cent tongue-in-cheek, because I had given some thought to buying at 20 cents. The price drop this week I believe reflects sat radio's poor decision to bet the house on auto installations. Satellite, should mean that it is the very essence of portability, but they have gone the opposite way and tied it to the car. Ipods made and sold millions before the first auto adapter for car use was ever marketed. They knew the market better than Mel.

      I have three children under 16 with two cell phones and two mp3 players between them. I pay a helluva lot more for their cell subscriptions than I would for Sirius, but they don't ask for sat radio. It doesn't play a part in their world at all. None of their friends have it either because I've asked.

      Looking at it from a business perspective, where is the marketing toward women and girls? How many women will buy subs based on NASCAR, sports and Howard? If it comes in their cars for free, what programming will lure them to keep it after the first year? I would be willing to bet that if we had the info, we would find that there is a big disparity in the numbers of men who re-up their freebies, versus the number of women.

      So it's not all about manipulation. A number of very basic totally crappy business decisions brought us here. Remember, in the world where Mel made his fortune and reputation, women and men are not viewed on the same scale. Advertisers pay more for the male demographic, especially on sports etc. than they do the female demo. If Mel came into this thinking that would work in non-advertising based radio too, well he blew a lot of people's money by not understanding the difference!

      Sirius Finally Provides Wall Street the Clarity It Demanded
      Just voted. No to current board, yes to RS, no to dilution. Net effect of my vote? Absolute zero, since if they didn't already have it in the bag; it never would have been proposed. Why yes to RS? Can't really buy puts on a .25 stock. The day of the split, gonna buy lots of puts. Net effect? Probably neutral for me as an individual, since the puts will keep my investment about even when the share price continues south. If the stock goes up, my investment in the puts will be a small fraction of the money gained.

      Ummmm Brandon, not for nothing but the number of shares outstanding having nothing to do with naked shorting. That's why they call it NAKED shorting, because they don't actually borrow the stock! Exactly how did you make money on Sirius? lol

      Finally Some Good News for Sirius Shareholders
      mlongi and depressed:

      Excuse me for going poetic on your ass (lol) but here I believe is an appropriate quote

      "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther … And one fine morning -

      So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
