SIRI Monthly Thread October 2015 (with NFL Chat)

SiIRI still looking good. It's pushing $4.10 on the ask. HOD is $4.10. Here's to going higher!

Well folks... those Apple shares I purchased in AH about 5 minutes before earnings just netted me $1,200

It doesn't get any better than that. Talk about living a charmed life. YEEEHAW!

Re. AAPL, last week I responded to a Buy signal from my Investools system and picked up 500 shares at 112. I guess that was one knee jerk that worked out ok.

EDIT: You sparked my interest with your comment of dividends paid by AT&T. I'm looking at T now, and while it poses no real buy signals, the big Gap at 32.50 is starting to look attractive as an initial entry to start reaping some dividends which I would reinvest along the way for additional shares. One has to start somewhere, and looks like the price is at a relative low.

Hey User, I just realized there is a ready resource for id'ing those bright stars and/or planets you referred to the other morning. I mentioned that my sister in-law asked if I knew what was the bright star in the east one morning and I found a minimal mention via a Google search that it was SIRIUS. I troubled over that incident, and ironically this morning I realized I had the exact answer in hand if only I had opened my eyes.

On my iPhone I once installed a free app called STAR CHART, and until this morning I had forgotten all about it. It's too late to know what was bright in the sky last week, but next time I'll be ready. This clever app is so simple.. you just point the camera side of the iPhone to the area of interest in the sky and the camera monitor shows and names what you are looking at.

Now that we have that little puzzle solved, I'm ready to move on to the market. Good luck all.

It's never too late. Venus, Jupiter and Mars are all still up there and clearly visible in the pre-sunrise sky. To see Mars you have to get up early enough, when it is still completely dark out. The other too are so bright you can still see them as dawn begins to break.

As I recall it was 200 shares of AAPL at about $115.50 cb, yes? Are you holding those and if so, what is your sell point? If you are just trading it around the earnings for quick move, here's an idea: Sell two $118 calls for $.55 or so - this Friday's expiration (Ticker: AAPL1530J118) if it rallys a tad more you'll be selling those for $118 PLUS the $.55 so you'd next approx. $3/share profit, including the premium received.

First of all, I can name only three days this whole year when I arose prior to sunrise; first was Easter Sunday when the wife and I went to the beach for those sunup photographs; second was a few months ago when I went off shore fishing with a buddy, and he wanted to be on the water by sunrise; lastly, four weeks ago I had to have my wife to the Hospital at 6am for her historectomy surgery (she came through that ordeal in flying colors)........ So, any discovery of pre-dawn star/planet sightings will be the responsibility of anyone who has the ability to rise that early.

Regarding my AAPL holdings, I just realized I had lost track of how many shares are owned. Keep in mind that I trade from 7 household accounts at TDA, so with your question, above, I took a look at the composite holdings. Much to my surprise I see it now is moe than I had thought). I presently have no exit strategy, thinking I might take a look when the price gets back up in the 130's to decide if I want to plan to get out or hold............ I wish I could follow and understand all those apparent Option strategies you speak of, but I just have this mental block against Options. Perhaps I should try to learn the basics and dip my toes into the water in small doses just to learn what it is all about..........I'll give that some thought.

new high of day $4.145!

Fkn stupid shorts who opened short posistions going into earnings....running for their life!!

[Limit5Bass]

Bass, I just couldn't resist this question....... Is your question asking if Howard will resign, as in extend his contract, or are you asking if he will resign, as in Quit, retire, go away, etc? I've seen that word on this board to have both meanings. Is there some way to distinguish between the two meanings..............for example, would it be correct to say "re-sign" when the intent is that he will renew his contract?............. I'm just curious.

Good morning all. Let's make some dough today.

re-sign as in renew his contract. very astute question SI
