Can you wizards of the market explain why the volumn has dried up so much on this puppy. Whats going on here and does it mean anything?

That is easy -
No one is shorting it anymore.
@ .10 there's not much incentive to do that.
Now, who wants to buy an issue @ .10 ? Only the amateurs... institutions, hedge funds and pros stay out of it.
How do you know that "no one is shorting it anymore"? Do you have anything to back that up with or is that just another one of your assumptions that you pull out of your ass and pass off as fact?
Look at the institutions with big positions of SIRI here.....

Its not just SIRI with low volume, only a handful of stocks each day have good volume.
Every stock on my watch list has had low volume since the new year.
My reason is the government, no one wants to invest right now when they can come in and change the rules anytime to suit there agenda.
Like when the banks were all getting shorted to death, the government came in and changed the rules. No one wants to play a game they can't win right now.
Until these clowns go away and let the free market correct itself, nothing will happen!!

Siriusowner - are you claiming to have shorted SIRI? If so - when and at what price? There are VERY few retail investors who are able to short penny stocks, so I'm a bit dubious of this claim. I recall you saying once that you had a small long holding - about 4,000 shares.
I do have 3200 shares from the XM Radio days but that does not mean that I did not short SIRI also before the merger. Short the buyer, buy the seller, remember ? I just did not tell Demian because he was always asking the wrong question. I wish I had shorted it @ $3.5 but I am glad I did @ $2.57. I Shorted 6354 shares. I covered just today.
ps: I did buy 1000 shares of SIRI not so long ago @ .13 just to average the price below .50 (S&P target for the year).
