Loeb died in 1996 at age 94, but his wisdom is evergreen, as evidenced by today's deal in which DirecTV parent Liberty Media  ( LINTA ) took a 40% stake in Sirius XM Radio ( SIRI ), which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Liberty's Chairman John Malone is known for profiting off companies caught in vulnerable circumstances. "This is a very savvy deal because, in this environment, cash is king," Deutsche Bank analyst Doug Mitchelson told The Wall Street Journal.

"Chapter 11 would allow the restructuring of above-market OEM revenue share contracts and branded programming contracts, improving operating cash flows," they explained. "On the other hand, it would result in aggressive competition among the various capital stakeholders and create a significant management distraction for as much as eighteen months." Tweet this
