    I bought my first 500x shares right before the merger was approved at 2.37...
    who would of thought the shares would of gone down after a merger....usually shares split and go up... Let me add at that time I knew nothing at all about stocks... so then I bought another 500x at 2...
    500 at 1.49...then Mel bought 2,000,000 @ 1.37 I said this is it...and bought 1000 more... I just keep buying on the way down thinking any day it got to turn around....the press was hot there was a lot of buzz and as It went down starting adding big....Its never turned around since...Then cramer told everyone to get out.. At .30 my friend said sell it all now and buy it back at a nickle I had then 25,000 I know if I would of sold it then I would got back $7500 and yes if I bought back now .10 that would be 75000 shares but the target price was .50 that easy to say now....but guaranteed if I would of sold out at .30 then it would started going back up....Plus I knew nothing about SiriusBuzz or people blog about stocks like now with you and Bill.. I learned the hard way...but since then Ive watch learned and read everything and you know what.....I still dont anything about stocks...

This should of been your move especially if u were expecting it to drop. Not saying what you did wont pay off but you would be in a better situation.



    "right now ur pretty much in it for the long run no matter what sworntofun, all im saying is say you were one of the one's who bought 20,000 at 2 dollars a share, well when ur 40,000 was"

    i can see how that can come off as me saying YOU where one of the one's but what i was really saying was - SAY if you where one of the one's which is hypothetical, i can see how it can be read wrong cause reading it back it looked that way too me. Anyway not attacking your strategy sworntwofun just something i would do in the future.

    Tripping - your absolutely correct, but who knew it would ever go this low. Is this the bottom ot is .05. In a few weeks we should know alot more.

    It's alot of If, if, ifs.... in your theory.

    Well said. Many of us have learned a pretty valuable lesson with this investment. That was my point when I stated develop a plan and execute it as best as possible. I got caught in the emotional game and forgot investing 101 and 102. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and check your emotions at the door.

    But hindsight is 20/20. So now that I've avg down to .70 and still trying to decide whether to throw another 1-2k to get my avg down as low as I can.

    Keep a sharp eye on Siri's chart. We may need that information right before and again after 4Q announcement/Feb debt

    Thanks

    Your right but sometimes you can pull it off, some stocks are easier to read then other's i think siri going down was an easier read, of course i held from .30 cents down too so im hoping i learned my lesson.
