Man if I can get my 3.59 order to fill, I think I can clear 1k going into the close. Seems like a pittance, but everything helps. It does feel a little like 2008 again. That was the last time I was watching the market all day long grabbing pennies anywhere I could.
You can't have it both ways and be right, can you ? :) hehe.

Then you toss a few softball posts to him while calling me names? It's like grade school all over again.

I don't know you but I do know DM. I wouldn't put it past him. If you think it's so rediculous then don't you find it odd that he rolls in while you and I were trying to have a dicussion on the economy? I mean, you and I were fine until he rolled in and stirred it up. He comes in, calls people names, stirs them up and then tells them to "calm down" that he was just "kidding?"

If I knew what the markets were doing, I would be short or long via ETF's. I was shorting the markets when the indices got into 52 week high territory. I was doing well. What I didn't see was how fast the "dip" was going to happen so naturally the short trade got away from me. I didn't want to short the indices when they were down 5% as I too thought the markets would pop back up. So now I sit and wait. I am not going to buy or short at this point in time.

You don't even know me to say that. HAHA. Oh well... I just found it interesting that DM rolled in and that you made the comment. It seemed orchestrated. Still does to me.
Let's just be honest... when you are long a stock and own as many shares as you do, the only opinion about Sirius XM is a positive opinion. No one that is holding 50,000+ of a stock likes to hear about how the stock is going down or how it could go to $2.75. blah blah blah. That's the real problem with this forum.
Intead of calling this forum the Sirius XM Forum, it should be called the Bullish Only Sirius XM forum because anything else is not wanted :)
I guess what I am saying is the sore spot for this entire forum was "SIRI is going to $2.75." This was a clean sweep hitting everyone's sore spot. :)

What is bothersome is to interject negative information that seems to have the sole purpose of causing a defensive reaction. The time when you posted Waldo's 2.75 price target, it was when things were already stressful for longs as the sp was sinking. I too have a tendency to latch onto the negative when presented with it, but I also try very hard to understand and discover what lays beneath such claims. Is it fact or fabrication and is there an agenda behind it? I can say right now that Sirius will go to $6 by year end and will get little or no reaction. Or I can say that according to my charts and other reliable information, Sirius is going to soon plummet to $1 and everyone (whoever is left) will react defiantly.
Nothing I guess. You nor I can control what DM does. Good point.
Anyway, if you don't think the indices are going down much further, you should start buying. I don't know if I would buy all my shares at once though. Maybe we should give ourselves the opportunity to "average down" if they decide to go down further. Remember, market sentiment is negative right now. Anything can happen with that kind of view on the markets. GL!
Something tells me the sell off is interest rate and oil related. Oil dropping below $30 is really spooking the markets. Why? I have no idea. Lower oil prices means lower gasoline prices means more money for the consumer and businesses to spend.
