So..........XM and Sirius merger just got approved. vol. BUY, BUY, BUY

[lurkin2long]

What yall NTrs into investing think?

General consensus to me seems to be yea..................buy in this week cuz its looking good. Im tryna catch that wave real quick.

Not ready for prime time, music and news to easy to get for free, most people do not understand the concept or want this service.

or

The Sirius-XM merger is imminent. The Department of Justice has approved it and the FCC has indicated that they will take DOJ's lead on this merger.Public pressure will force the deal through which will benefit both companies, especially SIRI. This week (3/25-3/29) will probably be the last chance to get agood entry point before the merger.

i've held stock in sirius for a few years now. i heard the news earlier.

if you're just getting into investing, read up a bit first. it might be too late to "catch that wave real quick" now.

HOT PICK OF THE WEEK

I don't know anyone who pays for radio. An old-coworker use to have siruis because he loved Howard Stern.

 

[shannonscrooks]

Has the FCC approved of the merger yet?

with this merger, prices on the subscription should come down a lot among other things.

Late. This deal has been known since last august but now got the ok. If you wanted the make money you missed the train. If anyone had shares a few months agoI'm pretty sure that their portfolio looked a little better.

 

[am 1 fiend]

Since when did an ipod play talk radio and sports games?

 

[horchata kid]

I have sirius, and no the fcc isn't approving this. They want 50% or something of sirius programming before they allow it. So, it probably won't happenfor a while.

And ya, greatest purchase besides my ipod. Listening to the soccer at work, stern, btls.

I know, thats why this is a discussin but im still confused jrellcuse10. dude talkin about im late and missed the train................thats themost absurd thing I heard all week.

go on fool.com or various other financial sites, an get back to me. do you even know what the stock is at now?

 

[illphillip]

Dude is not "late". The Justice Department approved this yesterday.

I always though Sirius stock was undervalued. Not sure you're really going to be able to do much with it now.

 

[jcash da kid]

I'm not feeling it. Sat Radio never really caught on the way they wanted it to. I wouldn't get into it

ahh good old SIRI...that was my first stock pick and money maker...ihad it since the earlllly Stern talk...got in and convinced a bunch of others to...within a couple months it shot up and i think we all basically tripled...ipulled out most
still holding onto to a few so this new news is making my "portfolio" look good

not sure about buying more tho- maybe...i'm heavy into visa now

 

[lazyj10]

I was in college still with the original talk about the price take off, I still remember those days....dude made a boatload off it. Had tons of shares at $2.XXand sold I think around $8.XX.

Finance Association, oh what a time.

and LOL @ the Niketalk + yuku joke....careful, don't want to upset the wizard guy or we'll be on some computer downtime for a while.
