Title: Sirius just added NFL
Post by: videoholic on December 17, 2003, 08:32:53 AM
Full schedule, every game, no extra cost.  That\'s pretty cool.  It\'s amazing to me how much Sirius is doing with their programming with XM still so far ahead.  I guess the year head start did wonders for XM.

The unit is great though.  I forget just how many commercials local shit pushes through our heads.



Oh yeah, one more thing......
I friggen sold all of my stock when it hit 2 bucks.  I am so sad.  I watched that stock go up to 2, down to 1.70, back and forth over and over again.  I wanted to pick up some more shares so I sold it at 2.00.  UGH!!!  It went up and up that time.  That stock will probably never dip down to 2 again.  I bought it at 1.20 though so at least I made something.  

Sorry, just on a rant.  I want my stock back.  I hate playing the market.  I suck at it.  

My latest disaster is I bought Handspring.  Then they get aquired by Palm and I lost my butt.  Hopefully it will get back up, but jeeze..  Thank God I have a ton of money elsewhere or I\'d jump off a cliff.

Did you have a lot of shares?

Completely off topic:
I remember when an economics teacher got all of his economics students(about 65+ people) to put in money to teach them about the stock market. The started with roughly $2000 at the beginning of the year and on the last day of classes they had somewhere between $25-30,000. They were all giddy about getting all of that extra money back when the teacher skipped town and moved back to the caribbean. Effed up at the time but very funny now.

These were High School underclassmen. Going from a $30 investment to $300 was great.

It doesn\'t look bad at all.  In March they are coming out with a really tiny antenna.  About half the size of what I have.  I bought one the antenna from Best Buy.  Real easy to install.

The reason I asked was because the radio in my car is Sirius ready... thought about getting it, but don\'t know how it would look and how expensive it was for the parts and to install.

Antenna is less than 50 bucks.  The receiver, I don\'t know how much that is.

Install was extremely easy on my car.  I have an aux-in right in the trunk so I was able to mount the receiver back there and just plug right into the system.  I then fed the wire for the controller up to the front and that\'s really it.
