I agree spin off doesn’t mean sell off. Doesn’t it mean move it to another branch of the company? Let’s not make wrong moves here.
Absolutely can’t figure why Liberty would let go of something it got.

Well, if the plan was to keep Ergin from taking control; putting some coin in Liberty’s pocket. They have done both!

Liberty has other plans, note the purchase of German cable company! They need cash for this deal and to continue to purchase other distressed assets for his empire!

I can see this deal going through and selling back the stake to Sirius! Where else are you going to make 750 million dollars in 9 months!

I guess we will all see within a month and a half.

The Liberty/Sirius deal has been a phenominal success no matter the course Liberty takes. It should be clear from all the discussion in the last 24 hours is that there’s no sense in dumping the shares on the market and much more profitable to sell it back to Sirius. There’s a third possibility. By working Sirius content into a Worldspace expansion or creating some other partnership(s) with Liberty, it’ll add value (and market cap) to Sirius. Sirius may be a monopoly but it’s not an island. Sirius is one of the largest market caps on the NASDAQ, we’ve started seeing partnerships taking on new dimensions.
