Thanks "sxminvestor", you read more than I did on ETrade. I also want to add for some other posts I read that I transfer electronically money from my Checking acct at my Credit Union and I usually can trade with it in about 2-3 hours. My credit union charges me ten dollars for the electronic transfer but it is worth it for large amounts.

I use ameritrade for everything except those items I can get free elsewhere - no use spending unnecessary cash.
Can't remember which of the senior members pointed me to it - but it's been a great free addition to my resources....
HEY EVERYONE...just wanted to say hi... i invested last month in siri and have been checking out this message boards ever since and you guys have me absolutely hooked on this stock.. i love it. i got in at .07 cents and am enjoying the long journey to $1 ....
can we hit .25 this week? is it even a possibilty?
Possible - Yes
Likely - Yet to be seen
Factors - manipulation at the end of the week kept things pretty much between .21 cents premarket and .19 mid-day then .198 EOD - if the volume is low and the big boys are raking cash in playing with cents over millions of shares - we will be in a quagmire ie. stagnant hell.
On a good note - Media attention has shifted - and analysts are starting to have a more positive outlook on SIRI. With the right news coupled with (yes I'm going to say it) actual marketing or press release from SIRI - I could see us go from .25 - .30
*deep breath* there is also the prospect now of an Iphone app - and that has a huge amount of potential - personally I think we'll see it a week after the 1Q numbers are out once things level out - but that's just a wild guess.
Whatever the outcome - I'm also concerned about the overall market - and here's why:
Even though SIRI has NEVER (not in recent memory at least) reacted in tune with the overall market - the more synchronized it gets with its actual fair/realistic market price - it WILL. In other words - this past weeks big rebound in the overall market might flip around - and now that SIRI is no longer in B/K hell - we will start to feel the effects of the overall market on the SIRI SP.
I think the smart play is to get what you are willing to risk before SIRI hits low to mid tweens then hold - the window is closing - but will have temporary troughs and entry points along the way (I don't think we're headed back to the .13 cent hell again - thank God.)
I think IF they were smart - and released the Q1 numbers - waited a week then did marketing campaign plus release of the iPhone App or at least a progress release - we could jump over .30 - but dilution is killing us for anything above that....
One last factor - anyone looking to play the markets now is looking for a white knight to play until everything gets better overall - in other words - there's always possibility that if SIRI is moving up and nothing else is - we could get some sanctuary buys....but we'd have to show sustained growth...
All the above is based on my own insane outlook - take it with a grain of salt...
i have an iphone and im definately going to get the new sirius app when it comes out but i have my doubts that theres going to be alot of iphone users download it like it everyones hoping for. but it cant hurt..
