Satellite stocks have gone through the roof lately.

XM Satellite Radio has about 3 million subscribers - stock is up about 100% in a year

Sirius just hit 800,000 subscribers. Stock is up about 100% in a month

For those that have it answer the following...

1. XM or Sirius?
2. Pros
3. Cons

I have XM and I love it! Service is up to 12.95 a month if you don't do a yearly contract but internet access to ALL channels and Opie and Anthony is free now. I drive about 45,000 miles a year in my pick up and did the books on tape for a couple years but I must admit I have never looked back once I got XM. No real experience with Sirius so I can't speak to thier service but I can't STAND Stern anymore. I listened the other day because I was driving a rental and he is doing the same things he did 10 years ago.

Onto the SIRI stock... I personally think it's too diluted... there sure are a lot of shares out there. I would say Yellow/Roadway/USF corp (YELL) would be a great buy, I personally know some people over there and they have a good plan for increasing revenues in the next year (read: raising rates) but hey you can argue all day about stock!
