Sirius 10 years old?

[Paul Secic]

I just read on Records and Radio that Sirius Radio is ten years old. Is this the same company thats on Dishnetwork? I they were around three years old.

A quick Google search found that they launched their second satellite in 2000. Given that Sirius had to be incorporated well before then, I guess it's possible that the company (not the service) has been around for 10 years.

They rang the bell at Nasdaq celebrating their 10th anniversary. They HAVE been around that long. It just took them a few years to build the infrastruture.

Of course you did NOT want to be in on that original IPO. The stock has dropped a lot since then, although it has quadrupled in the last 18 months from its lows.......

Was it Sirius that used to be called CD Satellite Radio, symbol CDSR? I know one of the two started life under that name. As for the stock, I bought some way too high and held on to it through the fall. I also have been in and out of about 3 times as much as I bought high several times, I guess this would be averaging down. I still have my initial bunch though and will probably hang on to it for some time.
