So I am in the position now that I need it to get to at least .70 just to get just over 1/2 of everything I reput back in and that is if I sell it all. So really I need it to go much higher then that .70. I have not done the math to be exact (I have three brokerage accounts with 2 and 3 accounts in each and yes I have stinking SIRIXM shares in each account.) So if you think your life sucks because of SIRIXM just take a look at me, and if I can still laugh at it so can most others. So to put it bluntly killer lets talk again if it hits 3 I will be happy to go just to party.

I also will stop calling this stock a pig once it gets past .70.

John come on now, get your butt to partying with us at .50 cents. Thats a legitamite goal, and you should have got most of your money back by then. If not buy more!!! dammit!!! Well, we can do one at $1 too ,for the older bagholders like yourself;)

.365 and rising, can we see .37 in AH?

I'm getting really excited for tomorrow morning... I swear this stock is consuming my life. The period between AH and Pre is just dead space...

What is with all the 100 share block trades in AH? Are they still trying to manipulate???

Cramer just said the Great Depression 2 is off the table again LOL...didn't he say it was off after TARP 1? Then it was back on, then off, then on, then off..and so on and so on and so on...:rolleyes:

thanks again

Thanks sl62. I tinkered around with it and it let me use the .33 shares I bought today as the shares I sold for .34 (even though I sold the .34 shares before i bought the .33 shares).

so, i had a short term gain of $81, a long term loss of $74, and a short term loss of $7 today. Is that a good way of structuring it???

my overall position in SIRI (having started in this dog in 03/2004) is now 50,255 shares, average pps $1.7702.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what to expect tomorrow?? and a good buy in??

Congrats to everyone. John, I'm right with you buddy. I've been averaging my ass off and with my last small buy at .25 I got my average to .86. It'll be interesting to see the news or analysis that has been causing this liftoff. I'm going to keep buying on dips if it stays down around here and more funds become available.

Does anyone think there is much of a chance that this drops to under .30 again?

Hi everyone. . . .first time poster here. I have been lurking in the shadows for a while and I have learned quite a bit from everyone, so THANKS for that. I have been in SIRI since 03/16/04 when I bought 100 shares for $3.03. Since then I have bought many more times. Unfortunately, I also bought quite a few shares at $7.00, and greed got the better of me many times recently when I tried to squeeze out one more penny on buy orders in the 13 cent range and those orders never got executed, so my lowest position in SIRI is 10700 shares at $.17. I just sold 10700 shares today at $.34 and bought a bunch at $.33.

I have a question that I was hoping someone could help me with. I have the ability to choose (in E*Trade) for the books which shares I just sold today. I could choose to show that the 10700 shares I sold came from the $7.00 shares i hold, or I could choose to show that I just sold the .17 shares.

If I choose to reflect that I sold my 10700 .17 shares, it reflects my average pps as being around $1.80. I think by doing it this way, it gives me a true picture of where I am and where I need to get to in order to become whole again. BUT it also then reflects a short term GAIN.

If I mess around with which lot I sold, then I can reflect a long term LOSS greater than or equal to my short term GAIN. Also, my PPS goes down when I do this.

Soooooooooooo, my question is: Given the information provided above, what is the best way to structure my 10700 share sale today???

thanks for your help,

john

If you are in Etrade you are given the option of which lot you want to sell it is at the top of the page just above the place order box. That is one reason I dont like Etrade pro you cant pick and choose the lots unless you go to the main page of your account and if you dont pick then, then it is first in first out. I saw sl62 post on this I dont think he is realizing the long term gain and short term gain is different long you pay less (capital gains tax) the other you pay income tax rate. Plus I think as long as it is a loss in the same capital you get to claim more then the 3,000. Then again I am not an accountant so that is something you should be asking him about.

John,
Etrade gives you a choice on the confirmation page when you make your buy. Just select the tax lot selector link on the confirmation page and choose which lots you want to sell.

Otone, where in Thailand are you? How long ya been there? You ever drink Chang, that stuff will give you a rough hangover!

I spent about 7 months all over thailand but mostly Koh-Phangan, Thailand is awesome, however I was there during the Tsunami, it got a little crazy!

GO SIRIUS, trying to keep it relevant lol :p

Killer... I hear ya.... need to run quite a bit further for me to do cart wheels yet but certainly is trading like a new day is upon us..... 'bout ****ing time..... (sorry Charles just had to type a good swear) Read your post about being out and getting sold out at just under .30.... sounds like it was your core position, but not to fear their will be pull backs just hard to say when.... mean time your sitting on some cash and that ain't bad in this market....

Major T...

You picked a fine time to go for a space walk! Great day. 60M shares poured in @ about .28 and we skyed to .38 in about 10 minutes mid day. No real news except housing starts were good as were retail sales so the consumer had a decent report today. Otherwise, I just say wtih hurdles cleared, the word is out and SIRI is a buy buy buy... :cheers:

The only thing I can find is that this was a total market move.

nyse...up volume 72%
amex...up volume = 96%
nasdaq...up volume = 92%

It seems to coincide with the uptick rule reinstatement and comments made yesterday by certain politicians relating to abusive and illegal naked short selling.

Hopeful, I have SWORN off the Chang. Have a bunch of Brit friends that love to drink and they are off it as well. Just stick with Tiger, Singha, or Heineken now. Was up in Bangkok during Tsunami. Crazy.

Cheers SL62 :-)

Now, if I can just keep from doing something stupid. Thanks everyone here for all the great input and analysis.
