Sirius XM: Talking $2.35, Bets And Debts [View article]
Its funny that you say that because I bought apple@ 498, the stock shot up to 526 then it plumetted right before my eyes to 488. I was like WTF!! Anyways I recovered from that by just holding and letting the stock rise slowly back to and beyond that point. So you are right, sometimes you have to leave well enough alone. Its real easy to get burnt with AAPL, especially with the huge price swings.
It acually makes a huge difference to me, because if it falls below $606 like has been doing for the last week, I can buy low again and sell high again.
AAPL looks like its holding up at its gains today, although the indices are starting to receed a bit, which I hope they receed further back into the red. This is the end of the QTR this week so I expect trading volumes to be low throughout Friday. I may have to wait to see if the stock trades lower tomorrow. I'm in no rush since I sold yesterday and secured my profits. I am now in waiting mode....

Thanks Cameron,
Yes Sir, looking for the pullback today on AAPL since I sold yesterday @ 606. I've been really shrude and cautious but not overcautious with the stock buying. I believe many investors because of their overcautiousness have remain on the sidelines missing these huge opportunities. I been trying to remain discipline and not chase this stock (AAPL) or any other one for that matter. The way I see it if you have the opportuntiy to sell and take profits do so.

Its coincidental that I had to hold my core position for the last three months with those insane penny fluctuations, until I could turn a loss in to a gain and also selling @ $2.35 recently. Redirected those monies to AAPL. APPL has been a great running stock so, I've been taking profits as much as the stock is willing to give profits....waiting for a pull back.
Investing takes some monitoring of your position throughout the day, what you have to determine is how valuable your time is vs your investment. both should be important, but sometimes you have to priortize. If you don't have the time or don't want to employ your time to watch the dips and sell the tips then maybe its time to contact someone who can do a little more than cut and paste charts.
As far as lunch, lunch was steak and shrimp on AAPL today!!! Here's some info that will be worth your while, wait on AAPL to pull back tomorrow, if and when it does, pull the trigger and buy at your discretion. Then sell on the rise, pretty simple and straighforward, no charts, no graphs, and only use candlesticks in the event of a blackout!!
More profits today from AAPL!! The AAPL cash cow keeps on giving!!! Somebody throw a circuit breaker!!!lol Siri not so much. People wake up! All these charts and graphs are like flowery speeches they arent working for you, quit losing money, much better opportunities elsewhere, checkout PCLN. If you would have bought AAPL today @ 595, 596 or even 597 you would made approx. $10 per share. I'm trying to help you here..
"While you spent your time with shares of AAPL, I bought 4 calls as outlined in my article here http://seekingalpha.co... for nearly 100% gain in 12 days . However if I would have instead put my money in AAPL shares as you did, I would lose profits in that investment. Obviously it was a no brainer. Nothing makes me happier than taking profits as opposed to losing profits."
No problem dude, I mean some of us set our sights on higher investment objectives, but as I said before, if you're happy with pocket change, stagnation and those .02 swings, then its the right move for you. All the best to you as well..
They are coming soon, fair warning. Why on earth do you think that the pps has been drifting lower approx. .10 lower from few weeks ago? coincidence? Volume of shares traded on Friday? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.... The days of Siri hitting $2.40 or above are over. I use to be one of those emotional investors with SIRI, unitl one day I realized that I wasn't in this game for the hopes and dreams sprinkled with a little fairy dust from articles. Then I woke up and finally realized Its about profits and I took them. But I love coming back and reading SA comments purely for its entertainment value. However, if you're using these articles for investment insights you may have other issues to contend with.
I purchased Siri when it was .10 pps. The only way that anyone can make great profits with Siri is if you bought a ton of shares whenever the pps hit single digits or to be to be trading hundreds of thousands of shares at a time with those huge .02 swings...lol. unless youre happy with pocket change. Remaining long in a stock as it drifts lower is not something I would be proud of or looking forward to. The Coattails thing is true. As you can see AAPl has been carrying the Nasdaq for a while to include the usual lagards. Please don't ask me where I came up with that? LMAO...
The smartest thing I did was to sell my core position at 2.35, Since selling that position, I bought into AAPL where so far I've taken over 4k in profits. However If I would have maintain my long postion in SIRI, I would lose profits in that investment. Obviously it was a no brainer. Nothing makes me happier than taking profits as oppose to losing profits. I don't miss the stagnation and those .02 swings from Siri either.
If you didn't pull the trigger at 2.35 or at 2.36 a few weeks ago, you run the risk of adding losses to your portfolio as the stock continues to drift lower. This stock really has no catalyst. Especially with gas prices soaring, vehicle sales slowing down. More and more people are car pooling or finding alternate means of transportation, which translates into fewer subs. Remember what happen last year the stock went upwards of $2.40 with that unlikely catalyst and simply drifted lower well below $2.00. I suspect by mid April the pps will drift down to 2.10 or even lower. We all know what happens in May with stocks...
Apple Investors Becoming Too Emotional? [View article]
Nope, don't feel like I'm part of Apple. I simply invest in the stock for pure profits. so far this week its been a good 4k worth of profits. Conference call this week was meaningless. However, I do want them to continue to be innovatively leading in technology. By the way, this is for all reader's and anyone who's purchased a New IPAD, first thanks for lining my pockets with cash, second if your'e one of those that are concern with the heat output of the New Ipads put a pillow between your Ipad and your lap....Pansy!!
I don't see 6.00 pps happening anytime soon, Maybe $2.50. However you could sell, buy your way low and sell high. Continue using this simple method which in the last few months seems like the norm for Siri to drop and then run up. Many investors have been doing this to avoid stagnation. Buy low sell high. My other investing model buy high and sell higher hasn't worked really well with Siri, although it did at one point....Bottom line all Siri investors are in it for the profits, its just that some would like to see ROI sooner than others.
I too liquidated this week. I sold @ 517, still kicking myself in the rear for not letting it ride a few more days, it would of netted me an additional 2k in ROI If I sold on Fri. I thought it would be best to take profits before losses.. I dont want to be too greedy, especially with AAPL's enormous pps swings. I understand, I try to make informed decisions when investing. However its great to hear others perspective and tidbits of information that could be very helpful. I'm very open-minded with all information.
I just want to make money! My core position in Siri has been in the red, hopefully this week Siris will gain another .10 pps.. that would put my core position in the green. Although it isnt a big deal since its cash that I haven't missed, but it would be nice to take some more profits. I hate having money in an account that doesnt grow.
I'm still depending on AAPL. for profit taking at the moment, especially with the Apple products looming on the horizon. But my main concern is the pull back that all analyst have been speculating. Which may not happen at all.
Any economic(data) events being reported on Monday and Tuesday?
Siri will head back to the $1.50-$1.75 pps range if not lower soon, has no catalyst. As a matter of fact the only catalyst its had other than the substandard earnings report that it gave is Apple. Like many other companies riding on Apple's coattails. Nothing else is going to move this stock upwards. I really wish all these contributors would quit writing these stories/opinions of fluff.

It continues to work, you simply have to reinvest your profits creating a nice cushion with those profits . So in the event of a pull back you'll be playing with house money and you can take profits minimizing losses on the pullback. One other thing, you have to have the three "C's" of investing: conviction, courage and commitment to invest in these volatile markets especially with Apple. Not for the Feint of heart . One other thing you can't win if you don't play. That reminds me, I have to tap into my retirement fund today the Powerball lotto.
