buy sirius stock. i'm telling you to buy this penny stock now not only because of its lack of risk, but because it will make you rich. since the summer, its increased over 60% and it will only continue to grow because of apple's decision to make verizon a carrier of its phone. if you can't connect the dots, its fine but if you can... invest a lot. best idea you could make.

so how about you do a little research? sirius has grown 60% since the summer, against all expectations that it would be bankrupt years before that.... for a penny stock, its grown from under a buck, to a buck and a half. if you're too dull to notice that, then i'm not shocked you don't support it and fuck you if you don't make anything off it. shits going to be big with most of stern's audience being verizon users. sounds like crazy nutjob shit, but hey, i've been right so far.

I bought a good chunk of stock after the merger, and it has been lovely so far. In the greater scheme of things it aint shit, but it is still fun and profitprofit

Honestly if you wanted to make money you could have invested in silver like I did a few years ago. Stocks are a fucking crap shoot, always have been always will be. I fucking new based on the economy that I was going to make a bunch of money off silver. Which I could have found a way to borrow a hundo grand to invest instead of a couple grand. But to more than double up in a 3 years investment I say thats a lot better than fucking around with random or especially established stocks.

Meaning to quote JerryLovesYou. Mineral prices will only go up as supply drops below demand.

your theory isn't completely absurd, but if someone actually invests $1000 after having only read a thread on NS then ill laugh

For sure. Sucks that I didn't have a ton to invest. Was trying to think of ways to get a bunch of loot to invest but couldn't figure out much that wouldn't get me into trouble somehow. Sold most of my stash for touring this year but whatever. I put money in and made a solid return. Successful works for me even if I didn't become a billionaire off it. He;; of a lot better than putting money into scratchoffs and other amazing get rich plans.

Have you heard of internet radio yet? Probably not, it hasn't really reached north america.
Basically it's like sirius or xm, but with thousands of channels, and it's free.

Pandora?

I-Tunes also has streaming radio and has a few hundred channels. They have good hip hop stations, their reggae stations are dope and they have some good jazz/funk/soul stations as well.

And I think its going to be a long time before Sirius is more than a penny stock.

This. Pandora > Sirius, and I don't pay for Pandora. Sirius will never take off. Sure, maybe it will rise slightly, and yeah, maybe you'll make a little bit of cash. *maybe* but you aren't going to make a LOT of money off of it. and it's certainly a risk I would say.

This thread is fucking retarded.
Some guy is actually saying "buy this individual stock," great advice.
Do you even know anything about the stock market, or did you just hear somebody talking about this and decide to post it.

I've never taken stock advice from anyone. Never. Not from tv, internet, friends or family. I've turned 500 dollars into about 2000 in 2 years time.
My RORTH IRA I put in 150 and is now at 350, in 1.5 years.

Not saying I'm an expert, but I have bought and sold stock. Why sirius? I'm not saying don't invest in them, but to make tons of money? They provide no dividend, they've fallen huge, it's rare for companies to go from 50-60 a share down to pennies then back up to 50 or 60. If you bought them for under 50 cents, hats off to you, you probably tripled your money, which is a great investment! If you wanna buy now, I don't think they will go up a ton more. If you really wanna make lots of money, diversify your portfolio, put 10 percent on sirius, put 30 percent on a blue chip company, put some on a monthly dividend stock and get a DRIP account set up, then put some on mid cap companies, etc.

That's just a little advice from studying the stock market in college, investing for a few years, and doing lots and lots of research.


As for sirius, answer a few questions about them, who are their chiefs? What percent of profit is re-invested vs given to shareholders? How has market cap been affected since the recession? How has their amount of subscribers changed? What new hirings have occurred? What corporations or individuals are the largest shareholders? How have recent votes effected the company?

These are just a few of many questions I take into consideration before I buy anything.

You can't time the market, you just got lucky, plus maybe a few non-quantitative guesses.  But ya, no matter, you made a nice nice return, hopefully you keep earning like that.

Yeah, guesses and luck, but at the same time, a little research doesn't hurt. Like I invested right in the middle of the recession when I turned 18, in 2008, in FedEx. Why? Because of what I believed, bad economy=less goods being bought=less goods being shipped. Economy gets better=more goods being sold=more goods being shipped.

I know that's a simple theory, but hey, I bought a few shares of fedex for around 50 a share, now its nearing 100, and I haven't sold yet. Also bought ALD for 1.00 a share, went up over 5.00 a share then got bought out by another company, new company I didn't like as much, sold, profited. Then my retirement account I've bought PGH. Canadian oil. If you do research they are really in my research a solid, good (in terms of oil) company. But yeah, ALD was clearly luck. Fedex, not so much, which is where I put most of money to be safe.

And today I just bought a few thousand shares of spicy pickle franchise stock. A BIG risk, but I like their new Chief Development officer a lot, the main reason I bought them.

You guys clearly don't know what the hell you're talking about if this thread has gone this far without a single mention of the reason Sirius is valuable:    Howard Stern.  He single handedly is responsible for the merger between Sirius and XM, and when he announced re-signing a 5 year contracts a few weeks ago, the stock jumped by 20% the same day. He has implemented apps, so it is possible that w/ verizion now having a reliable smart phone, the stock could increase due to more subscribers looking to use the Sirius apps on the Iphone. I don't have money to invest, but if I did, Sirius is here to stay and at the very least w/ howard, you're going to be in a safe zone if now profit.
