Default RE: XM vs. Sirius....Question

Huge Stern fan. Wife bought me Sirius for Christmas, can't wait. I have the Starmate Replay, ½ of the size of the Sportster model. I bought a handlebar clip on e-bay. It mounts to the bars. I am waiting for it to arrive. That is the best option I have found so far. It is suppose to swivel and rotate.

I know the feeling. I played the dont pass line. I shorted SIRI when it shot up after Howie was announced going to Sirius, banking on it dropping when Wall Street started wondering how they will pay a half a Billion Dollars for him over 5 years. I didnt buy a bunch of bikes though, I invested in XM. While I think Sirius and XM have great services with alot coming down to personal preferance, like I wanted XM beacause of Opie and Anthony, Fox News, and MLB. But stock wise I like XM long term due to techology is far advanced, they have their sats insured against catastrophe (SIRI does not), the cost per subscription is a lot lower, they are offered in many more cars including GM and Honda and thhey are more prudent in spending, where Sirius has bet the farm on Hoo Hoo to the tune of 100 million per year. And now being in Canada and having NHL I am going to buy some more if it comes down a little more.

Hoo Hoo I invented stocks, tell em Fred...

SIRI bout' $7

Don't forget, XM has about a 2 yr jump on Sirius in terms of subscriber signups and technology... Sorry to hijack this thread!

I have XM on 06 FLHTCU. Love it. Had a Roady on previous bike. This is much better. You can get Nascar on XM. I don't care for Stern.

Following that logic Siri will "lose more subscriptions" over the next 3-4 quarters since XM will have Nascar until 07. I mean XMs Roady 2 was flying off the shelves this last week at only $9.99 per unit. I bought 3 more units for family. Like I earlier wrote, XM and Sirius are leaps and bounds above terrestrial radio. Regular radio is dying, and quick. Notice you never hear XM or Sirius ads on regular radio anymore? They wont run the ads. When buying the service it comes down to what you want in Sat radio. One thing that shocked me as far as stocks go is Siri announced it cracked 3 mil subscribers and it was met with silence on Wall Street.
