Anyone watch the stock market at all?

With this many people doubting it and you being the only person (an investor in it) thinking it will go up, you are likely setting yourself up to lose a lot of money. Too much faith and/or connection/love for a stock is extremely dangerous.

I personally have heard both XM and Sirius and have not found a station I've liked significantly more than anything on FM.

I wasn't really seeking advice, I was just starting a discussion on the topic. I make up my own mind about where I spend my money not listen to a couple of guys on the internet, lol.

I'd be willing to bet there are tens of millions of people in this country who have a commute that equals a few hours everyday, how often have you changed radio stations and found absolutely nothing on? It happens to me all the time, its either the same song thats been played 100times in the last week or commercials. If you can't find something better than that on sat radio, well you must have low expectations and reg radio is just fine for you.
How many actually want to pay 13$/month? 10million so far, in the 4years or so its been out. Its only a matter of time before they break out into the world market(well they're already starting) and the 10's of millions of potential suscribers swells to easily 100's of millions.

but if risk isn't your thing thats fine.
