The company announces earnings before the opening on Aug. 4.
The on-again off-again pps bull phase comes in the context of a macd inching (more like millimetering) above the zero line into bull territory and then dropping back again, a parabolic sar that has been in bull phase for three days, and a fast stochastic rising quickly toward oversold territory and glory.
Financially, SIRI is not a high performer. It earned 1¢ per share in each of the last two quarters, and was losing pennies per share the three quarters before that.
The stock's price has been sideways and narrow since May, in a range between $1.10 and 90¢ with a few breakouts and downs. And the price keeps dipping below a dollar, a no-no for companies aiming at respectability in the agora.
The only way I would conceivably play SIRI is as a potential, cheap earnings surprise. Even that would have to be directional. The options on this semi-penny-stock have strike prices that are 50¢ apart, a huge percentage at these low prices. So stock ownership or short-selling are the only reasonable options. An options straddle is out.
Bottom line: SIRI is the sheerest speculation. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Speculation shows two faces: The smile of profits and the woe of loss. So a SIRI play is OK, as long as the trader keeps smiling.

OK. The credit bubble burst. Housing, burst. Shockwaves reverberated. Markets collapsed. What lies ahead as we reemerge from the wreckage.
