New Satellite Launch Complete - Maneuvers And Testing Ongoing

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:31:53 GMT

Sirius XM Radio can celebrate a successful launch of their newest satellite (FM-5), but as yet, there are still several steps that need to happen before full control is turned over to the company. With the riskiest part of the launch behind them, the company, as well as investors can breathe a bit easier knowing that they now have one of the most powerful satellites ever built safely in orbit. The new satellite is not yet in it’s final location, and there will be manuevers to accomplish the finalized obit during the first two weeks in July. Once in place, the nine meter deflector deployment will happen, and then the company can begin testing of the functionality. The functionality testing should happen during the final two weeks of July, and[More...]

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:10:34 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 30, 2009 Um, “worse than expected”? I guess that sums it up today as Consumer Confidence data was terrible. Stock price declines today were milder than expected given the news.

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 29

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:36:29 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 29, 2009 I thought this deliberate end-of-month/quarter shenanigans were against the rules right? Oh, they don’t enforce this type of activity—never have, never will. Anyway, with volume ultra-light, or absent bullish news for that matter, propping markets can be done with ease since it takes just a little paint to push things in the desired direction. Breadth was positive but volume was beneath significant.[More...]
