This Is the Biggest Threat to Sirius XM

The following video is part of today's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser, Jeff Fischer, and Motley Fool UK's David Kuo discuss the day's business and investing news. Sirius XM's earnings came with lower-than-expected subscriber numbers. The guys discuss the company's future rate increase, its competition, and how much investors should bank on Sirius XM's relationship with automakers like Ford and General Motors.

Ford is poised to reinstate its dividend for the first time in five years. Interested in learning more? The Motley Fool has a report on dividend stocks that are your best bet to beat inflation.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Wow these guys are a waste of time and know next to nothing. It figures someone who bet against Google would not understand Siri but I think the bugs bunny comment really tops the list of stupid statements.

    When will these fools learn that Pandora is nowhere near the level of true music discovery that Sirius is?

    Wow, they really like Pandora...Pandora is cool for when your walking or working out. Pandora is just a jukebox on the internet. No one even talked about Pandora's financial outlook. Also talking about competition, Internet radio has 5 top names that are all killing each other in competition. No one said that you have to have a data package and a smart phone to have pandora. These guy's info is one sided only. Crazy....

    How many people are going to listen to a ball game for 3 hours in the car before they realize what they can walk to there 3 hour destination.. Siri main set up is the car. Long trips or short ones. I hope you have a great smart phone signal out in the country or your out of luck pandora....

    Regarding SIRIUS,

    I listened to the dribble by this guys that seem to know little or nothing about stock analysis or even business. If Motley Fool wants to keep its credibility, they need people to give knowledgeable information. When they compare Pandora to Sirius, they are comparing apples to oranges. Sirius is a billion dollar plus company with a strong media content ( which is the core of why this company is doing as well as they are) and a highly evolved technology infrastructure. This company produces a very large revenue stream/cash flow and its balance sheet keeps improving quarter after quarter. Its partner Liberty media is an 800 pound gorilla in the entertainment sector. Pandora is a pimple on the rear of the broadcast field. Is there a place in this business for a company like Pandora, yes.but not as a qualified competitor to Sirius. Lets get very real, when a stock like Pandora trades at 14.00 a share and Sirius is under 2.00 a share, you can deduce that Pandora is over priced and Sirius is under priced. So what does a smart investor do? They buy Sirius, remember if you want to be successful you imitate successful and then if possible improve on it. More institutions are buying Sirius, (remember this is considered a penny stock), because they see an opportunity too make money.

    I have owned Sirius since 2-2009 and have done well with it. I see this as a long play.
