I did and do like what I seesaw. :) I've search Google for camera places all the time and KEH never came up or I wasn't paying attention. My neighbor always recommends buying used too. So this will definitely help. Thanks again!

KEH however is strictly used photography gear with a long-standing excellent reputation, and great prices.

PS. Midas, if you are getting KEH banner ad on your forum page, I guess that means you have visited their site. Did you like what you saw?

Wow, don't know what happened........ think I had a power flicker...... Anyway, I think I was trying to suggest that you enter your email at KEH to be included in their frequent specials notification.

Also, in spite of my belief that they offer only used gear, I noted in that link I sent you that they are advertising a few pages of new stuff...... further down are the used ads.

Also, here's my SIRI Earnings Trade. Selling the Oct30 $4 Puts....if I can collect $.15+ for them. I'll buy them back for $.05 if I can on any pop in price over $4, or if not, I'll jut hang onto them. Worst case I'm buying SIRI for $3.85 or lower net the premium.

Edit #1: have orders in to sell NFLX Nov 20 $100 calls @ $5
Also just sold NFLX Oct 30 $93.50 Puts @ $2.10 (what the heck...may as well take advantage of price weakness. :rolleyes:

FYI, My NFLX Nov 20 $100 covered call order filled for $5......should have held out for more....those calls are currently going for over $6 but what the heck....If they get called away - and I expect they will -I will have made $7.65/share in premiums on a combination of the puts and the calls.....7.65% return for 6 weeks....not too shabby. And that's not counting the $93.50 puts I sold this morning for $2.10...however, there's a lot of time between now and op-ex on both of those contracts and a lot can happen. Best not to count any chickens before they hatch. Stay tuned and I'll follow up if/when I close out the positions or get exercised.

I was not able to get the $.15 I needed for the SIRI $4 puts. If tomorrow is another down day for SIRI I might be able to get $.15 then but I may revisit my rational before I let that fill.

Well, looking at the P&F charts today, and now with wishful thinking going into the cc, I think we'll see a reversal on the close tomorrow possibly printing a double-top breakout at 3.97. That suggests also a reversal in the High/Low will reveal a new column of X's up to and exceeding 3.96.... If those actually happen, then we are headed for a nice momentum up to and above the 4.00 level.

EDIT: be sure to note in the above statement that I qualified it by saying this is "wishful thinking". On the other hand, if we look at the Sharp Charts it is comforting to note the RSI is significantly in the neutral zone, volume is okay but not notable, and MACD is tracking in the positive direction. Not so impressive is the impending presence of the Death Cross, i.e. a circumstance in which the 200 DMA rises and crosses above the 50 DMA........... perhaps the positives outweigh the negative suggestions in this scenario..........

What do we make of all of this?

I do not know, but appreciate your input.

Nothing left to do but wait and see. I have my game plan in place....now if i can just convince myself to sell at the appropriate time that would be ever better.

Anyone looking to sell a good amount this time around?

Sure hope that result won't mess with my pension.......... Otherwise, the board needs to decide this current (woman) CEO deserves to have opportunity for another job..........How many quarters have they missed? Is it 6, 7, or more? What a pity.

They say it was the 14th straight quarter of declining revenues. I think it's time to replace the CEO, don't you?

SunTrust's Peck Sees $90 Million Settlement For Pandora As 'Very Reasonable'

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/suntru...200139266.html

Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) reached a similar settlement in June for $210 million.

At that time, Peck noted that Pandora's settlement will ultimately be for an amount less than $210 million, as Pandora's pre-1972 tracks represent just 5 percent total spins.

Denco....looks like that new running back you guys acquired from Seattle a few weeks ago is now going to be your new starting back.

Apple claims 6.5 million paying subs. 8.5 million trials for a total of 15 million. I would not assume that they are at Siri's expense. I believe more likely they were converts from Apples existing iTunes accounts. No worries if Siri sub #'s are strong on Thursday

I think you are probably right ST. I'll withhold judgement on Apple music for another quarter or two. Many people signed up for the free trial and let it roll over into a self pay. Wait until they look at their credit card bill and catch on that it's costing them $10/month. Let's see what churn is over time.
On another note....2:35 am???!!! Damn.

Good Morning

Hey BCOZ, BDP, NJ, Raptor, User, Sly, Waldo, Stag, and Denco!

The best thing we can do is just keep an eye on these numbers. Write them down and see how they change from quarter to quarter. The numbers are not surprising to me especially from a popular company like Apple. The next thing I am looking at is AT&T's earnings on Thursday. I want to see how many connected car subs they added. This metric has nothing to do with SIRI because these "customers" can still subscribe and listen to SIRI. These are strictly "4G/LTE" connections which is 1 major aspect of the connected car experience.

@Muscle... This is something the cable companies and Sirius XM need in order to be successful in the connected car business. They will need to partner with the telcos (MVNO) or however they decide to do it. :)

Yeah, we picked up Michaels through a trade with Seattle in pre season. The second guy was picked up off of Seattle waivers. Looking forward to see what these guys can do.
