XM radio continues to go south

[John Doe]

XM radio continue to plumet this week closing just above $22 a share on
Friday. Well down from a high of almost $30 a share in early Jan.

When will someone show up at XM to save this company?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A director stepped down from XM Satellite Radio
Holdings and warned the company would face a cash crisis if it didn't cut
spending, XM said Thursday, as it reported a wider quarterly loss on higher
expenses.

There appears to be a big shake-up under way in the programming
department.

I don't think XM is "going south." Both companies have been having some
pretty major ups-and-downs of late, but I think they'll both be around for a
while.

Sirius is perceived as the retail front-runner and as having the
superior lineup. XM has an image problem.

XM does have an image problem -- this is one area where XM's management can
be justifiably criticized. In spite of having all-round superior content,
they have not done what is necessary to claim the prize in a marketing
sense.

''All-round superior content''?

How so?

News? Hardly.

Big name air personalities? I think not.

Music people want? Doubtful.

XM is top-heavy with esoterica and attitude and ''big lie'' mentality
and short on the basics.

Analyst reports on moneycentral.msn.com

6 months ago they gave XM a "9" (out of 10). Now they get a "4"

6 months ago they gave SIRIUS a "4". Now they get a "5"

Meaningless. Worse, I think you're referring to their mechanically computed
"technical" analyses. WOrse than meaningless.

gee, look at that, they both followed the same track - both stocks are down
~28% over the past three months. Where's the Howard effect, Sirius?
