[link=girls/9_800x532.swf]Howard Stern to Move to Sirius Radio[/link]
Quote:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - "Shock jock" Howard Stern will jump to Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2006, moving his controversial show from the public airwaves and giving the nascent satellite radio sector a big boost.

Sirius, whose shares rose about 14 percent to their highest level in more than two years in early trading...

Guess who owned Sirius Stock until 3 days ago.

Aww Tricky...I am sorry, that sucks.

Did you also see they need 1 million new subscribers to pay for his salary? You may end up better in the long run.

Stern has 8 million listeners currently. Assuming 1/10th of them join in, that's almost all of what they need - And I can tell you that ALOT more than that are going to come over.

Stern fans are pretty rabid, and so are Stern haters - Did you know the average Stern fan listen time is 90 minutes, compaire fto the usual 30 minutes for most radio shows. And, get this - The average Stern hater listens for 2 hours.


Sirius has been gathering steam, can't see why you would sell Tricky. More and more manufacturers are adding it in as an option to buy with the car, like XM has had, and they're als picking up listeners in a large amount already.


It's very likely that Sirius will gain at least 2 million new listeners. Many people who listen to radio in the car for more than passing interest are already looking into satellite radio, and this definately just gave many of them a reason to go Sirius over XM.


Sirius stock jumped up 1 billion dollars today, but then dropped down 500 million... But a 500million increase is pretty fuc[b][/b]king big.


Wish I owned Sirius stock

I only owned a few hundred dollars worth. It was mostly an experiment kind of thing...my first foray into the market.

Unfortunately, I bought the stock about 2 months before 9/11. It crashed then, and hasn't fully recovered to my buying price since.

Recently, I realized that E*Trade was charging me a $25 quarterly "Account Maintenance Fee." Since there's no way my $400 investment was going to make enough money to cover that fee, I decided to sell. Otherwise, I was planning on holding on to it for a few more years.

It's still really cheap. I suggest waiting a bit for the Howard Stern excitement to die down and the price will probably come down a bit.
