I have bought other positions with margin while also holding SIRI in my margin account...

    If one has SIRI in a margin account, even if SIRI is their only position and they haven't bought any other positions with margin, the SIRI shares can still be lent out to others for shorting by their broker.

    I don't know how I can make it any clearer for you to understand...
    Who's your broker ? What are their margin requirements ? The 3 brokers I have, Fidelity, E-Trade and Schwab do not let anyone hold securities with a value of less than $3.00 in a margin account. They are not even used as collateral.

    Siriusowner,

    Don't play dumb now, you know that you insulted him with what you said. Tripping was simply not pretending to be an expert and he is very sincere in his posts and apparently has something to offer and teach you - as he offered information that corrected you inaccurate statements...

    Tripping was even being very thankful to you earlier - even though you were giving him wrong information.....

    Give the dude a break.......don't be a hater.

    I know, I admitted I was wrong but that dude just gets on my nerves with his stupid comments. I seriously doubt you are holding SIRI on a margin account.

    Just because SIRI cannot be bought with margin, doesn't mean that other stocks and cash in your margin account can't be margined and other positions in your margin account can't be bought with margin.

    You really need to have a conversation with your broker about how margin accounts work, as you don't seem to even have a basic understanding of how they work...

    Are you calling me a liar?

    Anyone can hold SIRI in a margin account.......it's just that most brokers will not let you buy SIRI on margin, but like I said, other stocks in your margin account can be bought with margin if they meet the share price requirements etc....

    Call any broker and ask them....and they will verify that what I say is fact.

    not everything in a margin acount has to be bought with a percentage of credit, even i understand that, he holds siri with 100 percent cash while he might use his credit line for other stocks. he could if he wanted to not even use his credit line, and just have it sitting there and hold his stocks with all cash in his margin account. Even I a dumby, who has never had a margin account knows this, but then again i could be wrong, and would admit it if i am lol

    I will at some point Tripping......I follow it, but I haven't had much to say - the market is depressing me...

    I have been an active trader for awhile (ETFs, stocks, long and short), but I have become obsessed with SIRI down at this level as of late - as I think it has the most potential upside of any stock I know of...
