Gee. Which dog shall I pump my money into? Overinflated real estate speculation? Or overinflated tech stocks?

I love my XM for the variety and lack of commercials on the music channels ... but they make up for that on the News/Talk channels. It's worse than network TV.

Hard to imagine a satellite radio co. needs over a billion $ a year just to keep the lights on.

I predict they'll start selling ads in 2-3 years. Remember when cable TV had no ads?

Losses widened in the fourth quarter to $268.3 million from $188.2 million in the same period a year earlier. Full-year losses rose to $666.7 million from $642.4 million in 2004.

Pump and dump, suckers.

Why in the world would I pay for radio when I listen in the car only and that radio has a scan button?

Why pay for something that is free? If I want to listen to commercial-free music, I play a CD, CDrw, MP3, i-Pod, or tape.

The company projects subscription revenue of more than $860 million in 2006, or an almost 55 percent increase.

That's because XM raised its rates in 2005. If they raise them again to pay for Oprah, I'm bailing out.
