XM trimmed its operating loss by more than $150 Million this year -- a year in which everyone agrees retail was soft for satellite radio and subscriber growth generally sucked. Frontmed! Did you listen to the CC? I tried to listen to most of it but was distracted here at work. Did they mention anything about the Legal issues going forward? I did hear anything other than the woman anal asking farting about the RAF bla. Yea it was lousy earnings but now that it's all out, the rest is about fixing the subscribing dilemma and getting merged.

You are and you haven't. You're in denial boy!! You projected profitability years ago at much lower subscriber marks... I told you these were just like SATELLITE TV. The content costs would rise dramatically, and the CHURN would eat you alive. XM trimmed its operating loss by more than $150 Million this year. Yeah! Down to only 403 Million! LOL!!. But the revenues were up over $450 million dollars Y/Y. So to recap.. Revenue up almost 400 million Y/Y, loss down ~150 million. Like I said.. Every new subscriber is a money losing proposition. And don't forget that equity was diluted by 33% last FY. Just look at that revenue share and royalties?? Wow! 149 million dollars, up almost 60 million dollars Y/Y. And how many net subscribers did they add? 1.7 million? That's $3 a month in reveune share and royalties for the new 2006 adds. And look at that customer care and billing.. A whopping 105 million dollars That a buck fifteen a month per subscriber. Interest expense was another 120 million, or a buck thirty. Man. Them popsicle's are really melting fast. But, of course.. The person who really has a clue, and has really done his homework stated.. The business, once these startup commitments are fulfilled, is one of the biggest cash cows you'll ever lay eyes on.

You are and you haven't. LOL!! Thought I would take a look around since Hex said their were other boards with your idiotic posts. Looks like just about everyone has a line on your lack of Prescience. messages.finance.yahoo.com Where are the old touts (old aliases)?? (Not rated) 26-Feb-07 08:55 pm Most have switched by now but I can still recall fondly the posts from the leaders of the pack about CFBE in 2005, profitability in 2006, cash cow from there. Where is the likes of frontmed, homer, and the gang. Seems these message boards come in handy when you are proven wrong. It's easy to run and hide behind another name or just not come around. What a perfect storm that struck these guys. The predicted collaspe of xmsr; the implosion due to inexperienced management (remember flawless execution); and now the icing on the cake, being taken over by siri. Geeze, I can't help but laugh so hard out loud at these xmbecile touts who not so long ago thumped on their chest with indignance about the rightousness of xmsr and the devil in siri. The king is dead...long live the king! And this one... When I bought my 1st share of XMSR (Not rated) 26-Feb-07 10:44 pm The outstanding share count was apprx 90MM. Total debt was $250MM. Two birds were up and working. So...What the fuhk happened? LOL!! It's called a popsicle stand. messages.finance.yahoo.com And so it goes, PCSTEL
