Anyone watch the stock market at all?

I guess we'll have to see what the avg consumer says he wants in a couple of years. Of course by then it'll be too late to jump in and see any real gains. I'm gonna get back to my 100 or so tv channels all of which play commercials, that I pay around 30-40$ a month for.

100 channels of tv $40 =40 cents/channel/month
100 radio channels XM radio $12 = 12cents/channel/month

I think you get alot better value on your tv then you do with your rado.

Since all cable companies do is distribute the channels they are not responsible for the making and advertising off all the programs. So your not paying the final cost of your tv shows.

XM and Siris are responsible for the entire process. This makes them very volnerable. Actually I suspect they are illegal companie since they have entire vertical integration. See 1946 paramont decree.

However the major difference is you can check out content from most cable providers with little out of pocket costs to yourself. You need not invest in hardware and can select major channels to subscribe to.

I know your liking the idea, and maybe it will take off. With current stock market conditions I would put money elsewhere.
