It could happen. If it does, great. I'll just buy more XM. AKA Bagholder Syndrome Usually applies to just plain ole' folks that THINK they are smarter than everyone else. Usually accompanied by a really BIG Self Importance Complex. Especially applicable to those that have acquired a "Personal Attachment" to a given investment. Classic case in self directed investors that "know they are right, and everyone else is wrong.".. Even when they have to "make up" stuff to attempt dis-spell valid points by others. When asked to provide actual data points to back up their "out of the ole' arse" arguements... They just act like they don't read the posts. Usually proves fatal to IRA's and retirement accounts. And so it goes, PCSTEL

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out who the customers are, and how they could ever make back billions. I'm new on the block but have had interest in both SIRI and XMSR. Merrill is predicting both will have a 50% plus year, and perhaps this is the low part in the seasonal changes of these stocks. As you have both suggested XMSR is expected to do a bit better than SIRI even with the change in leadership. Prices are low now so there is an opportunity. Some very simple questions. Do either of you subscribe to sat radio? If so which one? I can't figure out why I want to subscribe since I mostly listen to NPR as I suspect most people who have more than the average income. Why would the masses want to spend 100's per year on radio? At home why not just take advantage of the cable music stations? Are people buying radio only for their cars?
