Now SIRI will come out with flat guidance to push stock to 3.15 - 3.30 level to buy more cheap shares.
Any thoughts about the LBRKR LIBERTY BROADBAND RTS CORP SER C EXP 01/09/15
Got a call from Vanguard. Really need to decide what to do with them. If I do nothing the expire worthless! If I execute I have to come up with $40/share in my IRA. If I sell (was a high of $12 in Dec) I get the cash from the sale. In Jan '13 I sold my IRA siri and bought Liberty to piggy back on John Malone. I will be placing cash into my IRA so I'll be able to come up with some but not all necessary cash without adjusting holdings. As I understand it Broadband excludes the SIRI holdings. It's kind of hard for me to follow everything John Malone is doing with the companies (some of which have very short lives). I looked back and saw that John Malone lets the common (average Joe) stockholder to come along for the ride. vs. other's that just look out for themselves. I also like that Malone HATES TAXES! I hate the fact that in my business I do all the work the myself and after offsetting the yearly expenses I get to give the government more that 49% but just less than 50% of every dollar I earn. (state, Fed, FICA, etc...) not to speak of sales tax, property tax, licensing costs (vars,professional, business). Granted at a certain point FICA drops off but I never made a profit high enough to have FICA drop off.
@brian... you're better off asking someone at your financial services company. They should have a group that can review this with you?
@Muscle... did you see this today?
The most unpopular company in America is ...
MARKETWATCH 9:48 AM ET 1/5/15
The most unpopular company among consumers is not an airline. And it's not a mobile phone company.
The honor goes to the Time Warner Cable (TWC) Internet service provider, which placed last on the University of Michigan's American Consumer Satisfaction Index. On a list of 230 household brands surveyed, TWC scored 54 out of a possible 100, just behind Time Warner Cable's television service (56), the Comcast ISP (57) and United Airlines (60). Wal-Mart(WMT) was the most unpopular retailer on the list (71). The index scores each company based on more than 70,000 interviews conducted annually and uses a customer-satisfaction score, 10 economic sector scores, 43 industry scores, over 230 company scores, and more than 200 federal or local government service scores.
Cable companies have come under scrutiny in 2014 for their rising subscription rates and lack of choice within the market. Cable bills have more than doubled over the last decade and the average cable bill is roughly $112 per month, including Internet and telephone, according to research firm SNL Kagan. Earlier this year, TWC and Comcast announced plans to merge. (TWC has approximately 11 million video subscribers, and Comcast has around 22.6 million video customers.) More movies, television shows and live sporting events being produced by one company means less competition and more seller power, says Samuel Craig, director of the Entertainment Media and Technology Program at New York University's Stern School of Business.
I'm no oracle but I'm with SF on this that it's all about the guidance. Rising FCF and EbitaQuote:

My parents don't need it as they have enough to qualify. And yes I mean I haven't paid a cent to vanguard since I switch everything over in April 2014 and have done well over 50 trades.Quote:

We have seen this movie at least a few times already. We should know the next scene. :popcorn: :googley:
Since everyone (so far) feels comfortable with SIRI at $4+ by eoy, there's an interesting bullish credit spread that some may want to look at.
Based on the current price it looks like one could establish a spread by selling the Jan16 $4 put and buying the Jan16 $3.50 put for a net credit of about $.32/share. If one were to establish this position (big "if" - don't know what the open interest is) with 100 contracts one could control 10,000 shares using only $5000 of margin while at the same time limiting downside to only about $.18/share (net premium received), or $1800 total. At the same time the investor is collecting $3200 now which is maximum profit should the stock settle at $4.01 or higher at Jan16 op-ex.
Not making any recommendation here , but just thought I'd put it out there for consideration since everyone seems pretty comfortable with the stock being over $4 by eoy.
As always, before you establish any options positions be sure you understand how they work and what your obligations are while the position is open as well as at settlement. Remember, options are leverage, and you can get your self in a heaping-helping of trouble in no time flat if you don't know how they work.
oh, and in case your might be wondering how I arrived at a $.32 net credit, I simply took the mid point of the bid/ask on the $4 put and subtracted the mid point of the bid/ask on the $3.50 put. It doesn't always work out like that but it's a decent guestimate. Your results may vary.
@KnowitALL... I think it's a great trading strategy. Nice post!
Here's to bouncing off the 200 day tomorrow :cheers:
