    Note: Just filled 5k shares at 3.49! Scary as I did not think it would fill!
    BDP....Siri at 3.545 currently as i type this. My initial buy was 3.58 so no i will not average down yet...if it hits 3.38 area then at that point i shall. Don't panic....good luck.

    Siri was buying back shares at much higher prices and frear called those prices "bargain". Wonder what he is calling them at this level? Heavy volume yesterday and today...I would say they are buying back more here.

    Edit: Siri now 3.56 nice bounce off 3.48

It's all on me and no excuses but it is a shame this feels so much more intensified than it should be given that Sirius is such a terrific company with a fairly healthy track record the past few years. Thanks again for your insights.

    JR,

    We've all been there. Not sure of your cost basis on these or your time horizon, that is a big factor. This is an adjustment period (equity, debt and FX) as the world weens its self off central bank intervention, and we've only just begun. That intervention pushed investors out the risk and curve and created a distorted multiple in a lot of companies. Read that as continued elevated volatility, both directions, with a bias to the downside as the carry trades unwind.

    Other central banks around the world still have monetary policies that are "loosening". The FED move to tighten is a mistake from a business/credit cycle perspective but additionally , if the Fed is moving in one direction and the rest of the world is moving in the other at the same time, its effectively twice the move in the headlines we are reading. A pause for the FED in March is important for the market to settle down a bit.

    Apple Disney are HIGH quality companies, long term they will recover. Assuming you have a longer term time horizon, average down and, if you have the capabilities, sell some covered calls on Apple and Disney. That will lesson the pain a bit while you wait it out.

    Assuming the FED does not reverse course or even just slows to two hikes this year, and we stay away from a recession, this period of adjustment could last through the year. Maybe even in to the first half of 2017, it all depends on how well the central banks act, work together (or not).

    Yes I bought more today Brandon. I wish this would end already. It's an opportunity on one end but a disconnect on a valuation standpoint. $3.93 is 20 times 2014 FCF per share. $4.84 is 20 times 2015 FCF per share. $6 is 20 times projected 2016 FCF per share.

    Today's price is ludicrous. Sirius is growing FCF per share 20%+ per year.

    At least Comcast is doing well....................Good luck with all your aliases here. I see they are growing by the day. Over 20 now?
