Hi, It was past 1230 yesterday before we broke .17 for good.
I have to go out for a few hours and cannot stay & watch. Therefore I put in a sell for 20% @ .2245.
I'll be happy for all of us if it fills!
Today's price will be important technically if you look at a six month, or 3 month chart and put the Bollinger Bands on it. We're broken through on the upside and it will be important to hold above today.... .20 is the battleground for today.... break it down and .22 , .23 can happen without much of a problem...IMO
s162,
Agreed..... this isn't going back to .17 anytime soon....
I like that all of the trading platforms are active and no one is really trying to take control... much more fluid than in the past...
Do you guys believe what this erpa guy posted on caps (other active thread to this one) in the forums about the SEC investigation into SIRI shorting...?
thanks for the heads-up..

I've just become aware of a rumor that the SEC is going to investigate people who've purposely shorted SIRI into the ground to profit via other methods outside of the realm of the stock market.
If this is true, then SIRI has been artifically kept low and I may be wrong about the $1 by the end of the year... it could be $2 or $3.
I don't like posting rumors, especially about the SEC when they haven't announced such an investigation, but I don't want people to be caught unaware.<<
Probably when they do they will find the bondholder hedge shorts...which are perfectly legal (unfortunately)...and probably what we just witnessed a minute ago on that .1999/.20 standoff... :annoyed: LOL
gotta run. bbl..:D
anyone who sells under .23 will get a nasty case of bleeding hemorrhoids, do you maggots understand!!!
SIRI: Possible SEC investigation on Shorties.
If its Cramer?
As far as an SEC investigation goes I doubt there is anything in investigating shorting this equity in general over the last six months. I would think that the GS ownership of the 127M in Feb bonds, eventually sold to Ergin, and the 70M Dec 09 bonds, and Winkes uncanny ability to take this stock down with his Right predictions for the Wrong reasons is where the SEC will find some meat to sink their teeth into... I have speculated that Mark Weinkes anouncement in Dec 08 that he would no longer be covering Sirius Xm ran parallel to their selling of Bonds to Ergen.... Too many people who bashed this company are tied to GS... for my liking...
Well...It's good to be wrong. Just got to the computer about 10 minutes ago and I am happily surprised that we are still in the .19's.
The magic 8 ball said "SELL" last night and I put in a GTC order for about 5,000 shares at .1975...Luckily it never got there... That is good, because I really do not want those Hemorrhoids!!! I will patiently wait until at least .25...
Hopefully Keysmark's mojo will do the trick.
Not enough volume to break .20 in early morning normal market trading. Almost, just enough for them to contain. Barely. It was close for a bit. Fewer people willing to sell today at .20, but fewer people today who want to buy at .20 as well. Going to hang here for a bit. Based on past trading with Sirius, I would expect at least a test of .19 before moving past .20, maybe even .18 if they can get it there. Might take 2 or 3 tries at .20 before it breaks through. Definately still being manipulated, unfortunately. There was enough volume in the morning to break past .20, but they kept just finding enough sell orders to throw it back. Could be a reshort attempt at .20 cents, after covering prior.
Sold 1/5 position at .20 cents.
