XM and SIRI
It seems that the top management at XM and SIRI have made it official, they announced today that they're going to attempt a merger. XM (XMSR, 13.98) and Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI, 3.70) agreed to combine in a $13 billion merger of equals, amid concerns about slowing growth and the cost to build up their programming content and subscriber bases. However, the deal, which is expected to result in substantial cost savings, still faces significant regulatory hurdles.
In other words, no real money changes hands, just funny money.
Under the terms of the agreement, XM shareholders would receive 4.6 Sirius shares for each XM share held, or a 21.7% premium based on the two companies' closing prices on Friday. While the deal was billed as a merger of equals, Sirius would own about 53% of the combined company, which would have had about $1.5 billion in revenues in 2006 and about 14 million subscribers, and XM would own roughly 47%. In other words, no real money changes hands, just funny money.
The deal must overcome significant regulatory obstacles, including an FCC provision that specifically restricts the two companies from merging. It must also meet antitrust approval from the Department of Justice. Pending regulatory approval, the companies expect the transaction to be completed by the end of 2007.

Dollar How Low Will It Go?
The dollar continues to fall at a more than one month low agianst the yen Thursday, after U.S. government reports showed a mixed picture about the economy and the first net capital outflow for a year-and-a-half.
The yen received a boost after government data showed the Japanese economy expanded at a faster-than-expected pace in the fourth-quarter, sparking speculation the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates next week.
"We have better than expected data from Japan. Many are speculating that the BoJ is going to have to hike rates now," said Naomi Fink, senior currency strategist at BNP Paribas. "The U.S. data doesn't help, especially given" the capital flows report showing dwindling flows to fund the U.S. current account deficit, she said.
Chart of C_JPY
In New York trading, the euro stood at $1.3146, compared with $1.3127 late Wednesday, $1.3172, the highest level since Jan. 4. The dollar was quoted at 119.31 yen, compared with 120.71 yen. In intraday trading, it touched 119.29 yen, the lowest level since Jan. 10.
The British pound traded at $1.9544, compared with $1.9625. The dollar changed hands at 1.2333 Swiss francs, compared with 1.2349 francs.
The euro fetched 156.89 yen, compared with 158.55 yen. See live currency rates.
"The dollar is on the ropes as the outlook for both growth differentials and interest rate differentials continue to deteriorate," said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at The Bank of New York. "Look for the dollar for sustain more losses going into the three-day holiday weekend."
First outflow since 2005
Monthly capital flows reversed to an outflow of $11 billion in December compared to an inflow of $70.5 billion in November, the Treasury Department said. This was the first outflow since June 2005.
Net long-term capital inflows, meanwhile, fell to $15.6 billion in December from $84.9 billion in November. This is the lowest inflow since January 2002. The trade gap for the month stood at $61.2 billion. See full story.
"Today's TICS surprise moves global imbalance and U.S. twin deficit problem back on the front burner, with a red flag raised on adequate funding of the U.S. current account deficit," Woolfolk said.

Valentine's Day
Valetine's Day
Did you know that tomorrow is Valentine's Day? Well you better have! Though, we are talking about Valentine's Day today the real question is what is Valentine's day really about these days. We keep seeing more and more money revolving around Valentine's Day and what seems to be less and less love. Though, my heart tells me it should be more about love and appreciation for those who matter most to us. Though, the said factor of the matter is that Valentine's Day is truly big business.
According to the National Retail Federation, U.S. consumers are expected to fork over almost $17 billion this year on Valentine's gifts for their loved ones. That's $17 billion spent on one day -- in the name of cubid.

Friday Bullets
When the market trend challenges their beliefs, what do we hear from market "experts"?
I am not wrong; most people are just too stupid to understand what's going on.
My arguments are really good. It's only a matter of time until I'm right. (I am not wrong, just early.)
I never guaranteed that what I predicted would happen. I just said it probably would based on history.
If the Plunge Protection Team (or hedge funds or big brokers) hadn't manipulated the market, I would have been right.
I may be wrong on a lot of little things, but I'm right on the big ones.
I was wrong (thank goodness), but following my advice didn't cost that much. If I'd been right, and you didn't follow my advice, you'd be wiped out.
What I said in public may have looked wrong, but what I privately told clients was dead-on.
How could I be wrong if I'm so rich and famous?
What will Crude oil do? And what kind of effect will it have on the market?
Before Friday, crude oil had not traded above $60 a barrel on the Nymex since Jan. 3, the first trading day of the year.
Broadcom Calling a Come Back (BRCM, 33.67)
MasterCard Inc., the world's largest credit-card brand, said Friday its fourth-quarter profit topped Wall Street expectations as strong consumer spending boosted transactions.
Lastly, when is StockLemon going update?

Corning (GLW)
Corning (GLW)
Corning Incorporated provides technology-based products and services in the United States. The company operates through four segments: Display Technologies, Telecommunications, Environmental Technologies, and Life Sciences. The Display Technologies segment manufactures glass substrates for liquid crystal displays that are used in notebook computers, flat panel desktop monitors, and LCD televisions.
Corning is a blue chip company that has some strong, long, and distinguished history. Did you know that Corning was around to develop the bulb-shaped glass for Thomas Edison's incandescent lamp. While Corning is old this should not scare you away from this stock, because it continues to grow. With it's LCD televisions, optical fiber technology products, and many more.
We find this interesting as well coming from Breifing.com, Corning (GLW 20.86)
Updated: 24-Jan-07 13:26 ET was Updated: 24-Jan-07 13:26 ET
Earning Its Keep
A consequence of its decision is that Corning's first quarter won't look so robust. Currently, the company is estimating sales in the range of $1.26 to $1.31 billion and earnings in the range of $0.24 to $0.27, before special items. That compares to sales of $1.26 billion and earnings of $0.27 per share in the prior-year period.
Comparisons to 2006 will be challenging overall, as Corning's net income increased 35%, excluding items, to $1.78 billion, or $1.12 per share, on a 13% increase in sales to $5.17 billion. Its equity affiliates - Dow Corning and Samsung Corning Precision Glass - contributed 52% of net income, net of impairments. The FY07 consensus EPS estimate currently stands at $1.25, according to Reuters Estimates.
The drop in energy prices, which should help cut manufacturing costs, should help on the comparison front, as would an increased number of fiber-to-the-premises deployments by Verizon (VZ). Separately, a forecasted sales increase of more than 60% for its heavy-duty diesel products, which will stem from new U.S. emissions regulations that went into effect on Jan. 1, bodes well for Corning's growth prospects in 2007.
Also, just a little side note, we thought it would be interesting to pull up the history prices of GLW. Especially right around when this article came out from Briefing.com
This is what we found when we went to yahoo and pulled up the prices from Jan 23 to now. Knowing that someone knew this article was coming out, and now look at the price today Currently as of 22.52 what it opend at!

“I don’t know whether I make myself plain, but I never lose my temper over the stock market. I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn’t get you anywhere.”
"A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong-not taking the loss-that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul."

Some major talk for the next few days will be taking place in Washington, D.C., where the Fed is gathering for the first day of a policy meeting.

While no one is expecting change in the fed funds for the 5th straight time, though this will be interesting to see how it place out on the market. While, so many are looking for some type of rate cute something this year, it will probably not happend in the next two days.

For your 401(k) - Maybe try paying yourself alittle extra each month, maybe just put in a few extra % each month. If you can not handle it for a the whole year. How about trying it for just a few months out the year to increase your 401(k) retirement plan.
Stocks - Try putting in an extra 5% for 3 months, and invest an extra 5% for a month and then drop everything back to normal.
House - If you own your home, then concentrate more on other investments. If your still paying off your house, try paying one extra principal payment a month. Or just doing one extra mortgage payment a year could do your net worth wonders!
