Once again, it seems like there's an oddly quiet lull in activity.
Who knows what it means (if it even means anything) about the merger. Having had tracked these two companies on a daily basis for some 3.5 years, I've learned that news tends to come in ebbs and flows. A calm is usually followed by a flurry of activity.
As this article points out rather poignantly - no one cares about anything else, except this merger. This week's earnings calls will be no different.

It is quiet. So how about a question? Where are those Audiovox GPS/XM units we were promised a year ago? The Jensen has been spotted for $500 at online retailers, So what about the Audiovox models that were supposedly going to be cheaper?
Ryan, you're obsessed. Of course, I am too which is why I check your site 50 times a day. The questions I have is when the announcement is made, how will I hear about it first. Orbitcast, XMFan, will I see a sudden spike/drop in the stock. How will I know? The suspense is killing me, and has been for about three months now.
Speaking of sudden jump.... what just happened?
Because it's tomorrow...?
Hey Ryan ,
I'll give you a whole dollar , if you don't write another merger story for a week .
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - here comes more suspense

ROFL
Everyone is predicting luke-warm financials tomorrow and minimal guidance due to probable merger approval, so I dont know why it would have spiked right before closing...
I was assuming we would see a drop in stock price this week, and I was going to buy more. I've got the cash to buy another 300 shares of Sirius on a good dip... Figured I would see it after the XM earnings report. Did I miss my chance?
Maybe a news report on what Mel has for Dinner every night?
Forget that, I'll pay two dollars!
It's the tumble weeds that have me wondering.. when you can hear them, you know it's too quiet..
Some guy kept leaving comments about how Feb. 19 was going to be the big day the merger is approved. "Mark my words, Feb. 19" were his last words. Where is that Monotonous Coward now? Speak up, dude!

You need to get the Cramer lead segment on here asap.. It was great, funny, and suprisingly very dead on. I cant seem to find it, but not only did he go on forever about the deal, he had a calander, and went name by name for the govt officials who have been "influenced" by the NAB..I am not a big cramer fan, but this segment was great..you need to post it!
