Addicted to SIRI/Sirius Buzz/SIRI News?

So I feel that this stock has consumed my life for at least the last four months!!! I am hooked on reading the forum and any news I can get my hands on! AHHHHHHHHH I need to take a step back...

Now that the BK scare is over I feel it's time to take a break, but how??? It's like crack or something I can't stop reading about this stock!

Obviously their are others on this forum like me! Anyone else feel like they need to take a step back and just enjoy the ride up? Does anyone think its safe to avoid constantly reading about this stock now and just let it ride???

SOMEONE HELP!!! I think I need an intervention! Or one of those brochures from a casino, Charles you should create one!!! Ahahaha!

Aahahaha good question... I did, but then I broke the cardinal rule of investing, "diversification"... I Sold them and bought more SIRI.

I feel confident in saying that there isn't much reason to be imminently concerned with Sirius at this point. Bankrupcy is off the table, and their debt is fairly manageable for the near term. I see Sirius's business trends as being quite good and I'm confident that these trends will continue. The financial information that I've seen about Sirius defintely seems to show a lot of signs that Sirius is increasing revenue, lowering costs, and seems to have some promising new money-making opprotunies on the horizon. Personally, I check the stock price of Sirius just a few times a day, and I strongly believe that Sirius is safe enough that you can do the same.

I am hopelessly addicted as well. I have what I would consider my final position of 10K shares for the long term growth (think college fund). But, I still can't stop looking for SIRI news. I do own some C and AIG (yeah, I know) but they don't hold my interest like SIRI does.
I have been following this bunch for at least 6 months now starting back at SA and then here. I have learned ALOT from everyone here and am thankful for everyone sharing their knowledge. It has saved me from losing any more than I have in this stock.
I am green in my current position mostly due to relmor being pretty adamant about BK being off the table and a deal in the works which gave me the courage to buy a few thousand @.06. I wish that I had put in more but those are the breaks.
Even though I am now in a long term hold position, I will continue to read the posts here to make sure that I am not blindsided by inattention.

Thanks!

hopeful,

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Had other stocks as well, sold them and bought more and more and more and more SIRI between 0.12 and 0.20 to bring my average down from $3.00+ to $0.90 and share count from 8K to 33K.

I've never traded this stock in the last few months and just letting it ride BUT, I can't get myself off the news and this forum. I was on vacation for 3 weeks from Feb 7th to 27th and I'm so glad i did not have much access to internet during those crazy weeks.

I'm not going to sell anytime soon. Ideally I should be taking a break from real time monitoring of the stock, but ......

I'm mentally prepared to lose all the money in Sirius but at the same time dream about $10 a share at times :)

Just Sirius,

It is about 6C with snow/rain... Windy and gray... I kind of like it though, it has been sunny and blue sky for weeks!!!

That's the problem, I used to have better things to do, then I kind of brushed them all off when the BK scare happened!!!

I have got to get back to my life!!!

If your internet explorer homepage is set to SiriusBuzz... you might be an addict.

If the first thing you check each morning is the stock price on your iPhone, you might be an addict.

If you go to someone's house to fix their computer, and the first thing you do is go to SiriusBuzz to test the internet connection... you might be an addict.

If you have ever interrupted a conversation of people that you do not know because you overheard them say something incorrect about Sirius XM... you might be an addict.

If you are a student and cant remember what you talked about in class last week, but can give all sorts of numers and figures from the last 10-Q from the top of your head... you might be an addict.

If you are falling behind in school, work, or life because you spend to much damn time at the computer reading the message boards and searching for news on the stock... you might be an addict.

These are the main ones I could think of, probably because they all apply to me. Feel free to post your own. Come up with enough, and I might make this thread sticky for a bit. =)

Hello, my name is Newman and Im a Sirius XM Addict...

Im a market addict, but SiriusXM unfortunately due to breaking every rule I have in investing, has made me an addict. I fell in love with the product and potential, and lost sight of the financial side for a while. By the time I recovered my senses, it was the worst trade of my life. I am now in the process of cutting those losses, and am almost 30% back now, at only .25 cents. I think the more you lose on a stock, the more time you spend on it. My gainers never see this much attention. :D

Relmor2003: Me too! Love the product and became involved with the stock and believe me it was and is an investment I would have never made, given my conservative nature and my conservative investments. However this company has a hold on me and I truly would give up my position run the marketing division of SiriusXM. It defies logic but its truly how I feel.

Nice catch by Brandon about Paid content.org in his last post and I am glad to see that Sirius will turn on all the dead radios for a free two week trial period, this is something that I have been screaming about in prior posts since before Christmas.

As I said before this is a whole new company going forward now that Malone is on board and patience is a VIRTUE! Give it time and continue to average down by buying on the dips, but keep a significant amount for your kids.

If you bail on friends just to watch AH, you might be an addict.

If you use a cash advance from your credit card to buy SIRI shares, you might be an addict.

When people talk to you, and all you can think about is SIRI then you reply, what did you say. You might be an addict.

If the last thing you do before you go to sleep is check SiriusBuzz, you might be an addict.

If you wake up at 5am pacific time everyday to check pre-market and the forum, you might be an addict.

If the refresh button is all you really use when on your computer, you might be an addict.
