Charles,
The intraday looks typical except for one huge block that traded around 3:30p. Without any news, I'd ignore it; I've seen both good, bad and no news result from trading like this. I checked edgar.com, no recent filings by USSB.
It would be interesting to know the short interest and whether this was an attempt to take out stops, but the block was around 11M shares and I cannot believe that many shares were stopped at 8.5-9.0. If this was such an attempt to take out stops, it could be a prelude to very good news, but I would not want to even take a guess that it's what actually took place.
I came up empty!
Dave

Charles/David,
If you don't mind, I would like your thoughts on why USSB is a good stock to own. I like the idea of a satellite play, but my experience says this is a fast growing mkt but not ridiculous like the metworking stocks experienced in the early 90's. My company produces silicon for nearly all of the dish manufacturers and they are bullish but are not thinking about a dish in every house immediately anymore. Am I correct in that USSB is only as good as its subscriber base? I recently curtailed my USSB subscription from $30 per month to $10. I just did not need all those movie channels and DirecTV offered better ones on PPV when I wanted them, which seems to be the wave of the future. If you have any insight in to the expense structure as well that would be great. Seems to be kinda of a fat company, almost like a biotech. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, as I also pursue my own DD. |

Steve,
It's about time, eh? I was wondering if I was the only one left, and I started this folder!
The shares are trading at a nice discount, especially if you like GMH.
Take care,
Dave |

You know it!! I've had this puppy for over a year and a half.
What do you think?? Sell some today, or is the price to low considering it should be 14 based on GMH price?? |

Steve,
If you like GMH, might as well keep it. GMH is trading well off it's 52 week high, so I think there's room to grow there. The impeachment issue is going to be around for awhile, it's tough to base investments on that.
I'm holding, but it's up to you!
Dave

At GMH price today, a little over $14. Check GMH news, it explains the ratios. If you like GMH and are a little shaky on the market, buy shares of USSB today for what might be a 10-20% markup at closing. I have to find out the time until closing; check GMH, it's well off it's 52wk high, however there are certain conditions that might nix the deal. I heard them on the CC but don't remember exactly; there have been some satellite problems and so forth, so there is risk involved. The deal has made sense for a long time, though! |
