The king of "The Hypesters" claims that hyping "doesn't interest him. Here's a real beauty from the David Ray archives...... While I find your posts, to date, on this subject to be relevant to "subscriber models" in general, I just think you're relying too heavily on some nonexistent connection between other products and XM. In particular, your preconceptions about the cost structure just make your general "subscriber model" totally collapse when applied to XMSR. It is no coincidence that this cost structure is what makes XM so attractive. You speak of "models" frequently, but you seem to not comprehend the limitations of the "models" you rely on. You can't just take a "subscriber model" and say, "well, this is good for all subscription based businesses". LOL!! Popsicle Stands are Popsicle Stands, no matter how many times you claim that there is some "nonexistant connection between other products and XM. And I just loved this one... Well, I see that -- even in the face of strong, incontravertible evidence that those models don't apply. Strong incontrovertible evidence??? Don't look now, but your "Strong incontrovertible evidence" has now taken a 70% haircut. Like I said back then, that still holds true today... Sorry, I don't consider some guy posting "wild speculation" regarding "new frontier financial models" on a Financial Chat Board as "incontravertible evidence." Where did your "bunky" kovachs go?? He seemed to clam up after he got busted for posting his OPINIONS as FACTS!! LOL!! And so it goes, PCSTEL
