    Sweaty Palms

    I just bought another 20,000 shares at .11883 and my palms sweated immediately as I pressed the buy button.

    Something deep down tells me to believe in Mel - he has alot of skin in the game and does not want his legacy to go down in a bankruptcy.

    If there was any CEO I would want to get us through this, he is my pick.

    Refinancing could send this stock to $1.00 or more, so I have to put more $ at risk here. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a merger where massive costs can keep getting pulled out & the fact that the car and finance markets have likely bottommed, I would not go near a stock with this type of debt.

    I've lost so much $ that I'm willing to lose another 12k with the possibility of making 100k back. After being in this stock for 5 years, I have to roll the dice and I truly believe Mel is not involved in any conspiracy and wants to have his legacy written that he pulled off this merger against all odds and a collapsed economy, car market and still kept the shares afloat. I think his pride is bigger than any $ he may get paid, so I think he would rather have his fingers cut off 1 by 1 than to be defeated by his naysayers.

    If that happenned I would likely sell 50% at least and wait for a dip and maybe buy back. I would definately let alot ride because this is the biggest hurdle and believe in the company and management, so I would like to put it away and see where it is in a few years.

    SXM,

    I know that feeling well. I told myself that I was done buying at 10K shares until the shareholder meeting. Since the December meeting, I have added another 20K to bring my average way down. I think we get unjustly bashed because of the current price. Rightfully so. However, the company is resolving the debt situation and paying down debt. I have full confidence in February and May being taken care of. December is a ways off. IMO, they are making the right moves. The lifetime subs Sirius is taking in puts more cash in their pockets.

    If this stock were to jump over $1, I would have to sell off half. Pop to $2, have to sell off 1/4. At this point, it would be about pulling out most of the initial cost and riding the profits.

    Cmon Mel!! Shock and Awe!!

    difficult question to answer. Depends on your finances, investing timeline, and whether or not you can still afford a case of PEPTO Bismal. If you can double your money + alittle extra...AS A-hole Cramer says Pigs get slaughtered. So take the cash and run. Or you could cover your initial investment and then play with the houses money...Or you could simply put a stop loss in place to avoid losing what you have made. Whatever you choose, put your plan in place and try to stick too it. As we all know now, we must have a plan or your really taking a chance with your hard earned cash.

    I currently have 60k shares ave of .75.. I will absolutely be pocketing my initial investment..then play with the house money on a tight leash. I would love to have to make this decision!!!

    Hope this helps.
