    So, if SIRI beats expectations

    Then what happens? Take a look at Ruby Tuesday's. Negative EPS, but because they beat expectations, the stock shot up to ~$8 today from $3 when they announced. I think that's 167%.

    RT sticks with me as I had a limit order to buy 5000 shares at $3.05 and it closed at $3.10 and it's been all up from there. With negative EPS, I wasn't going to buy when it's green. That one slipped through my fingers.

    how is usually works. If they beat earnings, and i think .01 cent would be considered beating earnings, etrade has the consensus at .02 cents, and ive read .02 elsewhere. Now if they beat revenue, and just meet earnings, that will be also very well received. I think this stock has legs tomorrow, even if they dont beat earnings. I thnk investors are really just looking for an excuse to NOT sell tomorrow, because no one really wants too. But a ton of people may want to buy after what they hear. TA wise its not a good sell here, and long term it definately isnt, in my opinion.

    I agree, basically if there is no doom and gloom alot more buyers may come in. The question is how fast. There are still a good amount of shorts that might get caught with there pants down.

    IMO,

    If sirius beats expectations and we shoot up over a dollar, "dreaming" I know. Mel and Co will dilute the hell out of us to bring us back down.........

    I know I am usually "Hopeful" but I just have a feeling that is going to happen. The moment we succeed Mel and co will beat us back down.......

    Correct me if I am wrong please!

    GL everyone tomorrow,

    Long Sirius!!!!!!!!!!!!
