I cant say I blame them. I enabled the bickering. Unfortunately followed me jumping to these forum pages. But I have really been trying here to get away from it.

Anyway Since it is related to your article could you answer it please

"Tayler posted an analyst upgrade in "News" on the front page of SiriusBuzz with short term .50 cent price target and long term $1.25."
My short term(1 year) is more like .86 long term I just dont know

1. What is the definition that is used by these analyts for short-term vs long-term?
if it fits mine then I am with relmor .. this is not a good report.

Long term targets are usually 12 month targets. However, targets are changed as different plateaus are reached. For instance, a 1.25 12 month target can be revised upwards 6 months from now.

Lets assume that in 6 months the stock is at .85. An analyst can give a new 12 month target of 1.50 (as an example) and create a new short term target of 1.25.

It all depends on modeling and auto sales data will change the forecast model significantly over the next few months

My point exactly - and for that matter - is it just me or have about 50% of the newer posters recently seemed to lean toward bashing..... I purposefully LEFT the insanity at the yahoo boards to try and get some actual sensible information and it is starting to appear that they followed me.

SIRI was priced for BK... period. We will go up over the mid-term. Short term there will be up/down on the charts as it normalizes and establishes another base before more news.....

Yes there is manipulation - but behind it there is an overall trend you can see if you look closely enough. I absolutely can't stand all the shorters/bashers - I canNOT wait til uptick is reinstated. I hope every one of those bastards loses their life's savings the way they've caused honest retail investors to lose theirs by pushing the markets down and benefitting from it. Forgive me while I go bang my head against a wall like Glenn Beck.....

Well my background is in technology and I can assure you that no company owning satellites is in trouble. If nothing else SIRI could become a contractor for an array of users including DOD. They will be fine...just a transition phase. You have to think further than what is apparent to the general public.

Iwill research this over the weekend. In addition my original reply to Otone may not have been clear. I was saying that if you have a margin account it may affect trades clearing immediately and not having to wait like in a cash account. It had nothing to do with buying on margin. I don't trade on margin. Margin also can be used more like an overdraft on a checking account. It's there if you NEED it. Have a great weekend.

Koop, I dont know about if you have a margin account. I do know about them not being able to just lend out your shares if you are not on a margin account because I called both about just that to make sure they could not lend out my shares. Etrade said we dont do that without asking first and Scottrade said that they dont do it period, after that I did not even bother calling Fidelity. I will say this if you are only selling a 1/3 of your shares then you are good to go for at least 3 times. I'll say it one more time the warning they give you is meaningless as long as you have others shares. As an example; If i have 100,000 shares and I sell 20,000 of them then buy 20,000 back and then sell 20,000 they will sent you a alert it means nothing because once they check your account they will see you had other shares that were settled. I do have personal knowledge on this one because I did it and called them when I got the notice and explained to them they looked at the account and said dont worry about it.

don't try predicting this stock

That has got to be one of the funniest post I seen in a while.

Sort of like predicting rain in Northern Gulf of Mexico...it might rain but probably not so bring an umbrella just in case but probably will not need it.

So short term is generic enough to mean 1 day - 1year? That is where I am a little fuzzy.

Thanks for response

I totally agree. Quite frankly I don't see how anyone can form an objective opinion which differs about this stock/company. After the events of this past week, I feel like I am starting to switch to the dark side myself. This stock is such a f-ing joke, and the punchline sucks.

Interesting info John, thanks. I gonna try calling my local Scottrade today and see why my statement says "returned" shares.

If you think this stock is such a damn joke then WHY in the hell are you even here? Do you own any stock in SIRI? NO?

Again - note the number of posts... another new poster that emerges out of nowhere and suddenly decides this is an appropriate place to bash SIRI...

Do you even KNOW anything about this company? take your comments back to yahoo where they belong....... or at least remain objective.... there is no place on this board for propagandist bashers and if you'd done your research you'd know that....

New poster (long lurker) here, and I'm positive.

Just reading, learning, and watching the drama while I remain LONG on SIRI.

With this particular stock, you seem to get a show along with your dinner. Kinda' like a Wall St. dinner theatre, of sorts. :)

I interpret bashing as being untruthfully negative about something. The question was actually quite innocent - I was curious if you disagreed with anything that was said in the article as a baseline for understanding what you meant when you said these clowns were continuing to bash the stock. It sort of implies that there some untruths embedded in there and I couldn't find them. No biggy. : )

Usuing my amateur charting techniques...... it looks to me like we get between .2960 and .3000 close (unless news breaks).

Around .42 by April 1st

My definition is focusing on the things that could be perceived as neagtive when you leave out inconvenient positive facts
