CD Radio (CDRD) who will be doing the same thing that SKYC will be doing (digitial radio broadcasts), is up nicely so far today.

<<CDRD - CD RADIO INC
Exchange: NASDAQ
Delay: at least 15 minutes
Last Price: 30 7/8 at 13:16
Change: Up 2 3/8 (+8.33%)
High: 31 1/4 at 9:53
Low: 29 at 9:30
Open: 29 3/8
Previous Close: 28 1/2 on 5/8
Volume: 359,500
30-Day Avg. Volume: 192,000
Shares Outstanding: 16,049,000
52-Week High: 30>>

I estimate SKYC's 28% interest in its digital radio portion of its business to be worth ~$ 4.63 based on CDRD's current market cap.

CDRD market cap: $496 mil ($31 X 16 mil shares)
28% of market cap: $139 mil (28% of $496 mil)
value of Digital Radio per share : $ 4.63 ($139 mil/30 mil shares)

The more CDRD goes up, the more valuable, you could argue, SKYC shares become.

SKYC is now selling for $ 10.50. If you minus the like value of the digital radio portion, you get the remaining businesses being valued at $5.87 ($ 10.50 less $ 4.63).

If the ACTEL deal goes through, I think it is safe to assume the remainder of the business is worth more than $ 4.63, but who knows?

The next 60 days should be very interesting for SKYC.

SKYC: $ 10.38b $ 10.50a

Hi Spec man. Keep getting the urge to buy more of this so wanted to check in with you for a touch of reality. Share your thoughts with me, and don't let those guys who say bad things about you get you down. Where else are you hiding your loose chnage these days since getting out of CD? I bought some VNTV recently to go with my Bay and Coms. Pretty smart, huh!
