During any given week, Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) is among the most actively traded stocks in the country on a share volume basis.
Its allure is obvious. Satellite-radio receivers are common features in new cars, and Sirius XM has cornered the market with last year's merger. The stock also trades for less than a buck, and it's been a real scorcher this year, giving the investment more than mere speculative buzz.
The company has suffered two sequential quarters of subscription declines, but few investors expect that downtrend to continue if the economy -- especially the automotive sector -- improves. Either way, Sirius XM still caters to 18.4 million subscribers. That's an impressive number of people paying for a medium that was completely free a decade ago.

August Auto Sales Should Boost Sirius XM Subscriber
Satwaves
By Brandon Matthews
By Brandon Matthews
The august sales data is in, and one real winner will no doubt be Sirius XM Radio (SIRI). The numbers simply do not lie. The market chooses to focus on year over year numbers when it comes to U.S. auto sales, but for Satellite Radio investors the incremental increases in month to month sales have never been so important, as the subscriber breakeven point seems to hover near the current rate of auto sales. The combined numbers put auto sales on a pace this quarter to exceed 3 million units.
There are two important factors to look at when it comes to Satellite Radio subscriber additions and losses. The first is auto sales data and the second is jobs data. Higher auto sales equates to more promotional subscribers while high job losses equates to higher churn, as more people decide to put their paid satellite radio subscriptions on hold. There is an unknown point in which the two factors can cancel each other out, resulting in zero subscriber growth.
For those that paid attention to the company’s second quarter conference call, Sirius XM Radio C.E.O. Mel Karmazin tipped his hand when he announced that the company had seen positive subscriber growth during the Month of July. The August auto sales data would seem to indicate that the same holds true for August, as sales far outpaced those in the first month of the quarter. Read more…

Once a broad market measure has satisfied several technical criteria -- such as trading above its 12-month average at the end of a month, or having its average price of the past 50 days surpass the value of its average price over the past 200 days -- then it's clear that the psychology of defeat has changed. With you or without you, no matter what you may think of the health of the U.S. economy and no matter whether you think China's strength is real or illusion, a bull market has begun, and new rules go into effect. Anyone who tries to fight the tape at that point will suffer"
Last year's swift, surprising plunge was so scarring that many investors may never look at securities the same way again. But hesitating now could mean that a big rally passes you by.

U-turn is path to recovery profits ***** must Read
"This might seem backward, but it's happened many times in the past. Some of the strongest spans in the market have come during the weakest periods of economic growth. According to the BCA research, here's how it breaks down: Quarters in which growth in gross domestic product has clocked in at a terrible negative 2% to negative 3% have led to the strongest returns in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX): around 28% on average in the ensuing 12 months. Quarters of negative-2% to negative-1% GDP growth have led to one-year returns of around 19%. Quarters of negative-1% to 0% growth have led to growth of around 8%. Quarters of 1% to 2% growth have led to 2.5% annual returns, and quarters of 2% to 3% growth have led to slightly negative 12-month returns."

As SpongeTech has matured its sales and distribution channels, we can now appreciate a “seasonal effect” on the demand for our specialized products. Our fiscal Q1 which occurs between June and August is typically the timeframe for winter and holiday season pre-orders from retailers. The tremendous growth that the Company is experiencing this quarter has been partially due to increased commercial demand for out complete line of medical and household cleaning products from school systems as well as sporting venues. We feel that this demand is likely in response to the high level of awareness surrounding the upcoming flu season in the northern hemisphere.

8 costly mistakes investors make
"If there's one question that investors have asked themselves over the past year and a half, it's that one. If only I had acted differently, they say. If only, if only, if only.
Yet here's the problem: While we know we made investment mistakes, and vow not to repeat them, most people have only the vaguest sense of what those mistakes were, or, more importantly, why they made them. Why did we think and feel and behave as we did? Why did we act in a way that today, in hindsight, seems so obviously stupid? Only by understanding the answers to these questions can we begin to improve our financial future."

VirTra Systems, Inc. (Public, OTC:VTSI) Watch this stock
TrackingFrame: "TEMPE, Ariz., Aug 25, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' CEO and President /quotes/comstock/11i!vtsi (VTSI 0.06, +0.02, +48.38%) , today announced that Lockheed Martin has submitted a second purchase order for a customized version of the Threat-Fire(TM) wireless communication station. This particular station plugs into a USB computer port and permits two-way wireless communication with the Threat-Fire(TM) belt.
VirTra's patent-pending Threat-Fire(TM) device safely simulates return fire with a 300 millisecond electric stun (adjustable to 2.5 seconds). The device is easily rechargeable and adds an unparalleled level of simulation. VirTra ardently contends that adding a Threat-Fire(TM) belt to a simulator provides more realistic and thorough training, allowing the trainee to experience stress and apprehension on par with that of actual combat situations.
'I'm energized by Lockheed's second order and the opportunity to perform custom engineering work to fit some of their unique requirements. I feel this is another indication that Lockheed is impressed with VirTra's simulation products and I am confident that we will receive additional orders,' said Bob Ferris, CEO and President of VirTra Systems."

90 percent of U.S. bills carry traces of cocaine - CNN.com
90 percent of U.S. bills carry traces of cocaine - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- The term 'dirty money' is for real.
In the course of its average 20 months in circulation, U.S. currency gets whisked into ATMs, clutched, touched and traded perhaps thousands of times at coffee shops, convenience stores and newsstands. And every touch to every bill brings specks of dirt, food, germs or even drug residue.
Research presented this weekend reinforced previous findings that 90 percent of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine.
'When I was a young kid, my mom told me the dirtiest thing in the world is money,' said the researcher, Yuegang Zuo, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. 'Mom is always right.'
Scientists say the amount of cocaine found on bills is not enough to cause health risks."

VirTra Posts 5th Consecutive Record-Breaking Quarter: "VirTra Posts 5th Consecutive Record-Breaking Quarter
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' CEO and president (Pink Sheets:VTSI), today announced VirTra’s 5th consecutive profitable and record-breaking quarter. VirTra is known for setting the highest simulation training standard in the industry by developing the world’s most effective and realistic firearm training systems (FATS) for both law enforcement and military organizations throughout the world. With today’s announcement, VirTra has now posted five consecutive profitable quarters since new management took control in 2008.
For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, gross revenue grew 23.7% from $783,261 to a record $968,814, due to successful sales efforts, specifically with the growing list of international customers.
General and administration costs are higher from $140,374 for the second quarter 2008 up to $369,602 for second quarter 2009. The primary differences are: a $114,795 amortization expense, hiring additional sales staff, increased tradeshow expenses, and increased sales related travel.
Net income from operations increased from $272,274 for the 2nd quarter 2008 to $328,587 (adding back Amortization Expense of $114,795) for the 2nd quarter 2009. This is an increase in operating profit of 20.7%.
Net gain per share for the second quarter of 2009 was $.0021, compared to $.0082 per share in 2008. However, second quarter 2008 had $824,975 of non-operational income that is non-recurring and is directly due to forgiveness of debt income, gain on litigation settlements and gain on derivative liability.

NEW YORK – A more upbeat Federal Reserve is reassuring investors that they've been making the right bets.
Stocks bounded higher Wednesday after the central bank ended a two-day meeting by saying the economy appears to be 'leveling out' rather than shrinking at a slower rate. The Fed's more positive take on the economy than it had in June wasn't surprising but it still bolstered hopes for a recovery."

Sirius Lives! (SIRI)
Sirius XM (SIRI) reported Q2 '09 earnings essentially in-line with consensus estimates, with a subscriber loss that was not as bad as many expected, though still down from last year.
Sirius' increase in full-year guidance and less-than-expected sub loss may have accounted for the run up in the shares the past few days. (That could explain, in part, their 11% drop in pre-market trading today.)

Satwaves » Sirius XM Still Under Assault: "It gives me great pleasure to say that bankruptcy is definitely in the rear view mirror for this company and they continue to gain distance on it every day. Mel’s small tidbit about the July numbers..in case you missed it, were music to my ears. The Q3 conference call will hold some surprises I am sure….but one has to seriously consider that sub numbers will be positive to neutral next quarter, putting the projection of 1.6 million subs lost in fiscal 2009 to bed once and for all, and if those numbers are going to grow to the positive, other numbers will as well."

No Second Act for Fannie and Freddie - WSJ.com
No Second Act for Fannie and Freddie - WSJ.com: "Current and future administrations likely want some entity to perform the functions now carried out by Fannie and Freddie. The companies support the housing market and, just as important, enable people to borrow for 30 years at a fixed rate, rare in other countries. But the government has its own guarantor in the Federal Housing Administration, which could start to back mortgages on the same scale as Fannie and Freddie.
Meanwhile, those two could be wound down slowly. They could remain private companies, ensuring that their massive obligations stay off the government balance sheet. The U.S. would lose money. Private shareholders would end up with nothing. That is why the current rally is likely to be short-lived."

Sirius XM shares up as cars, iPhone fuel optimism | Entertainment | Industry | Reuters
Sirius XM shares up as cars, iPhone fuel optimism | Entertainment | Industry | Reuters: "By Franklin Paul
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sirius XM Radio shareholders may sense better days ahead, fueled by optimism about new revenue streams, the launch of its iPhone software and the 'cash for clunkers' car buying program.
The stock has climbed 20 percent so far this week, despite analysts' forecasts that the satellite radio company will post a loss and show it lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers when it reports second-quarter results on Thursday.
Wall Street is focusing on signs of economic stability, analysts say, and the growth potential of the company, created about a year ago by merging Sirius and XM Satellite Radio.
'The financial risk has been reduced and now you are looking at a positive swing in EBITDA of more than $500 million over the course of the year, with much of it coming from cost cuts,' said Barrington Research analyst James Goss. 'All of that seems to provide much more favorable outlook than it did before.'"

Flash Trading Reversal by SEC May Hit Direct Edge, Boost NYSE - Bloomberg.com
Flash Trading Reversal by SEC May Hit Direct Edge, Boost NYSE - Bloomberg.com: "Aug. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s move to ban so-called flash orders would help NYSE Euronext take back market share of U.S. stock trading at the expense of three-year-old rival Direct Edge Holdings LLC.
Senator Charles Schumer said yesterday the SEC will seek to stop the practice in which some brokers get a split-second advantage in viewing requests to buy and sell stock, after discussing the issue with Chairman Mary Schapiro. NYSE Euronext, the only one of the top four U.S. exchanges that doesn’t use flash orders, has seen its portion of the nation’s share trading slip to 30.3 percent in the second quarter from 35.5 percent a year earlier, while Direct Edge’s"

Tarnished Citigroup Looks Like It Could Shine Again - WSJ.com
Tarnished Citigroup Looks Like It Could Shine Again - WSJ.com: "By ANDREW BARY
Citigroup has been garnering investor interest amid optimism on Wall Street that the worst is over for the beleaguered banking company.
Citi shares have been pounded in the past two years, falling to around $3 from $55 because of heavy losses and a huge increase in its shares outstanding as a result of a $58 billion preferred-stock exchange offer designed to shore up the company's equity capital base.
Citi stock is down 50% this year alone, while J.P. Morgan Chase shares have risen 20%, to a recent $38, and Goldman Sachs has surged 90%, to a recent $162."

Old GM Trading Catches SEC's Eye | Transportation | Financial Articles & Investing News | TheStreet.com
Old GM Trading Catches SEC's Eye | Transportation | Financial Articles & Investing News | TheStreet.com: "Motors Liquidation is the new name for the former General Motors, the one that became a repository for the assets and liabilities that remain to be liquidated in bankruptcy court. It has no relationship with new GM, which emerged from bankruptcy on July 10.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the SEC and GM have issued warnings about the worthless shares, but some traders continue to buy and sell them.
Now 'Finra and the SEC are trying to hunt down the people who are fluffing the company,' said a source, involved in penny stock trading, who asked that his name not be used.
An SEC spokesman declined to comment. Finra has said it is reviewing the trades.
'Bearing in mind that we only have regulatory jurisdiction over securities firms and the individuals associated with them, we would definitely look at the trading associated with these shares, as with any instance where there is unusually high volume or unusual activity in a stock, and especially one with circumstances like these,' said spokeswoman Nancy Condon. 'We'll be looking at who was buying, who was selling and what the rationale was.'"

TORONTO (DOW JONES)--QLT Inc.'s (QLTI) shares are up nearly 60% so far this month, a move the company's top executive says isn't surprising given how low the stock sank.
