I have 1625 shares of this stock and needless to say it has been dissappointing, but!! I sell satellite systems and all of a sudden they are booming again. When I talk to DTV and USSB they reflect the boom also. In short, there next numbers are going to look a lot more encourging and I expect this trend to last through the Christmas season. This stock is definitely a take-over or a merger candidate also. There has been no news what-so-ever but it is slowly, steadily growing. Cable crept up on everybody until one day companies were buying out everybody for 2000 dollars a subscriber. USSB has somewhere over a million subscribers now and are adding 60 thousand and up a month. I'm holding on to this for the long run. |

Buck, thanks for your thoughts. I agree with your asessment also. It seems to me the question is not IF but WHEN. I believe in the case of USSB it will be at about the same time they actually turn a profit. If they can grow their revenues to 125-140 million in the next 6 months they might actually turn a profit. Then I believe these Satellite stocks will turn the corner rapidly.
Something I'm a little confused about. What is the relationship between USSB and Direct T.V.? I understand that when you sign up with direct T.V. you can elect, with an additional charge to pay for USSB movie programming. My question is why can't USSB provide this service to other Satellite broadcasters? Or can they? And who actually owns the Satellites?
I called the phone reps but got duhhh replies.

Buck - my first time on this thread. I'm interested in Sat stocks, specifically TSATA. In doing research, I came across USSB. Eventually, a Sat stock play should be profitable but the word "eventually" clearly is the issue.
Given you sell the stuff, do you have any thoughts on TSATA vs USSB? Also, is Direct TV a direct play or do you have to buy Hughes?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Reginald & ALL, in my opinion, USSB is a clear candidate having completed its turnaround. Plus it's in a hot industry and commanding one of the lowest Price to sales ratios in the particula segment. Last quarter "real" loss (excluding special charges) was only 5 cents. This news seems to filter thru finally. Revenue growing continously should account for nice earnings from next quarter on. Also current positive earnings outlook only take BROADCASTING into account. The fact that a digital satellite provider like USSB could actually commence INTERNET services via satellite once two-way SAT becomes popular should give this fine stock additional earnings momentum.
Since I think that this company won't disappoint us, I do think that $20+ is a realistic target for the intermediate term (1 year) in USSB. I took my position Monday below $10.
Best wishes to all around here - CROSSY |
