I think this stock is about to become a buy, with merger coming very soon.

Which stock?

An analyst said it may happen in may... the longer it takes the lower the price will be. ifi  were you id start buying in in about aweek as there wont be a decision by then and the stock will have a week more of blood bled out of the stock price. I for one am waiting to buy an additional 1000 shares until at least then.

yes this looks good. I'm in.

[DELETED] before people saw my stupidity. :D

Well it seems even more uncertain than ever. Here is some info I found regarding the merger.

Anyone else have any insight or info on this?

Personally I think Sirius is an investment like Vonage.  Cell phones were already advanced beyond Vonage, and with the new unlimited mobile calling plans Vonage is doubly screwed.  Sirius must contend with the fact that everyone in the U.S. has two ipods, and if they only have one, they make sure and use it in the car, at home, and at the gym.  I personally will never buy an Ipod and just bought my mom a creative zen stone for her birthday.  But for example, my girlfriend has had an ipod integrated with her car stereo for two years and she has a second ipod that she uses for working out and to link to her home stereo.

2nd point to be made about Sirius not even having a market.  The people who won't pay for an Ipod, like myself, are the same people who won't pay for radio when its free already.  Sure there are ads but there are also tons of stations.  Sure, there is no talk radio,  but these same people not spending money on ipods or sirius radio are the ones who have learned to get by without frills like that.

Disclosure:  I bought Sirius and sold on the good news, when the merger approved.  I felt lucky to get out about even.  The stock has gone down and then nowhere since.

xm and siri are on shaky ground financially. a merger will not change that fact. a merger will create one company showing a negative earnings return. betting on the merger would be a losing play.

I agree. There's no earnings, which means you shouldn't buy this at any price.

Make sure you buy an extra battery for your Zen. They go bad quickly - will not recharge for more than 20 minutes of use after about a year. I personally have been very dissatisfied with the product!

Looks like the FCC is STILL screwing them over by playing the waiting game.  The FCC playing favorites?  Nah.

Sure, go ahead and buy it! After you make a killing on it, you can buy Hover dam, I will sell it to you cheap.

On the SIRIous side, SIRI is a good bye, instead of a good buy. They don't stand a snowballs chance in a blast furnace. There is no interest in the retail world and the auto makers are dumping the cars that have it. Check it out for yourself, stop by a store (if you can still find one) that sells it, talk to your Chrysler dealer. Then look at the billions of dollars of debt they own and judge for yourself. It's a really good bye, buy all you want.

It was announced today that between SIRI and XM have lost over $100 million since the announcement of the merger.  Shareholders should file a class action lawsuit against the FCC and DOJ for taking this long to decide about the merger.  I mean really...this is just appauling.
