You may be right about the comment by street.com was by an idiot, however during 1999 - 2000 I listened to the so called experts and had my laundry handed to me. So far I have used 3 of his picks for a 163% gain to this point. Just like the Red Sox "We're Idiots", give me more idiots. Henry

i pay for the dish network and they are running a promotion now where you can listen to 10 channels of SIRI radio for 'free'. I've listened and its actually pretty nice. HOWEVER: when i'm at home being a couch potato, i'm typically watching tv, not listening to music.

Exactly how much does XMSR "pay" GM for the privilege of each install into a GM vehicle? This is a Subscriber Acquisition Cost and since it is the "major" XMSR SAC cost it should, but is not included in the SAC. XM does not want to account for the lame or unused installs because they shun that toward a hardware cost, nor does XM adequately represent the churn for these specific GM installs. It is very difficult to determine the specifics of the GM install and its significance on SAC. If you have concisely figured it out, please enlighten. It is like the old saying.. Statistics and numbers don't lie, but accountants and statisticians do. I concede to some of what you have mentioned, but SIRI SAC vs. XMSR SAC is not apples to apples, it is apples to oranges. Both companies manipulate the data to placate analysts.
