SIRI stock is this a good buy?

This is just my personel opinion, but I don't think its a good company, I think its a horrible company.  \n\nLooking at the fundamentals, its revenue has grown about 270% in the past year, of course this is a phenomenally good growth rate, but in $ terms it went up about 175 million (from 67 million to 242 million).  During the past year their net loss was 862 million and its increasing too (albeit not as fast as revenue) and stands at almost 4 times revenue for the past quarter.  It could be 10 years (or never) before these guys make a profit, and they will have to dilute their shares (ie issue more shares to raise cash) before then.\n\nTo make matters even worse, their stock price peaked (at almost 8$ per share in early December) and has been trending sharply down since then, so even from a technical point of view they look terrible.\n\nSo, we have a fantastic growth rate but utterly terrible fundamentals and technicals, whats to like.\n\nAgain, just one opinion.

The stock has done extremely well but it is not clear why. It is way overvalued by most measures and I would not hold it at this point. If you're concerned about selling too low, then you might set a stop-loss, which means if it keeps going up, the value of your stock will keep going up, but if when it drops significantly from the top your shares will sell.\n\nBest of success.

Most stocks, but not all, under 5 bucks are not what one would call investments.  They fall under the heading speculations, especially the gold mines.  There is one medical stock that even though it is a speculation it has some merit.  It is not under 5 though but not too far away.  MEDX.  They have several drugs in phase 3. And S&P rates them a buy.  They are involved in the options scandle. I once owned the stock but sold it. I have been thinking of buying it back.  There is a company TINY that invests in companies that do nanotechnology. It is really speculative and I expect it to probably go under but it is selling about as low as it has sold in a year. It might go up again in the near future.  It is about $10. \n\nHere is one to look at INPC. It is a communications company trading at 6.41, close to 5. Running a deficit but projected to make money this year and more next. Analysts tend to be overly optimistic though. It popped out at the top of the list of a S&P screen of stocks under $10.  Another LIOX. Also running a deficit but expected to post a profit. $5.37.  It is sort of an internet company, but after reading its profile I am still not sure exactly what it does.  Now.  You might very well buy stock in either of these companies and make some money, but there is a whole lot of risk.  Either could double in value or could go broke. \n\nIf you sign of for an account with Fidelity you can run these screens yourself and pick your poison.

MOT is a great pick for 2006. Cell phones are still hot, and MOT continues to over deliver and under promise. There is a whole new wave of cell phone technology coming, hence, smart phones with music t.v. and God knows what else etc. Motorola is aware and doing everything they can to stay ahead. Furthermore, the stock is at a perfect technical level to buy right now. It is flirting with its 50 day moving average. I would buy it with a 10% stop loss and let it ride. HOGS GET SLAUGHTERD

It depends how long you are prepared to leave the money in there.  Google is an excellent long term investment, but short term the stock is a little overvalued.  \n\nYou are unlikely to loose money if you buy now and hold for 2 years, but there are likely to be opportunities over the next 6 months or so to buy at a lower price (possibly down to $450).

If you know nothing about the stock market and have a lot of money to invest the $4200.00 price tag for wizetrade or any of the other such tools out there may be worth it.  But then again if you don't know anything about the market you should stick to mutual funds.

I was checking this out the other day, but bought PTEN instead.  This stock is fundamentally unsound, the only positive is the 31% quarterly revenue growth, undoubtedly due to the increase in gold prices.  Technically, it's another story; all indicators are Very Bullish in the Short, Mid and Long terms and the stock seems to be forming a solid base finding support at 5.94.  Personally, I'd buy this stock if I weren't currently in another issue, though I rarely get involved with an issue that is fundamentally weak because it makes very little sense.  \n\nHaving said that, if I get stopped out of PTEN and KRY is still in it's base, my play will be to get in as close to 5.75 as possible with a fixed stop loss at $4.90 because volatility could push it to it's previous resistance at 4.91.  If it closes below 5.25 I'll be keeping a close eye on it, and will consider cutting my losses, depending on indicators.  If it stops me out before I can react I'll just take my loss and move on, but it will be a much larger loss than I normally take, because I usually set an 8-10% stop loss, so I would consider this a risky play.  However, if the stock breaks it's resistance at 6.14 and closes higher than it's previous high of 6.25 I'll change my stop loss to a trailing stop of 10% and just hold on, because I can see this stock easily moving to 9-12 before it's next pull back.\n\nWhatever you do, protect your downside.

I like Dell stock, but I don't think I would buy it here.  It has come up from $19 only recently.  I think the easy money has been made.  That said, Dell is still a fantastic company.  I own 3 Dell computers.  \n\nIf you are looking for investment ideas, I think the first thing to do is see what the best traders are buying and selling.  this is the idea behind http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.

I would like to thank the previous respondee's answer. He was sure to point out the obvious that some are a good buy and some aren't. Now that we cleared that out of the way, let's look at healthcare from a single unit, the index. Also mind you healthcare is a vast industry including great growth potentials in the biotechnology and nanotechnology arenas. But also has some laggards in the larger areas such as drug stocks in Biogen.\n\nThe healthcare index (^NYP)  has been in a downtrend since mid-March. With the lackluster markets bringing everything down with it, I see no reason for this downtrend to slow. Give or take though, I don't think we will see any more than about a 3% loss for the index from here. Right now is not the time to buy, in my opinion, but we could see some tremendous value plays in about 2-3 months. And as with any thing in the market, the small-cap growth stocks usually lead the way in a bullish advance. So I would look for small growth plays at that time.

it s already been over 10 cents in the last year, go to yahoo and look at the company's profile.  profits are up so that is good but it is still an pink sheet so watch out

There are a lot worse investments out there. There are also some better investments. Technically, it is not very strong right now. Translated, that means it is not in an uptrend. \n\nOne of the responders suggested Yahoo options. That is not an investment. That is a speculation. \n\nIf you are a long term investor and do not have exposure to any internet companies and can stand more than average risk, Yahoo is an ok investment. But be aware that both Google and Microsoft are competitors.

4.3% dividend is pretty good. Company looks strong.\n\nI heard they are thinking of spinning off their Women's apparel division. Their last spin off did extremely well: \nCOACH Inc: \nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=COH&t=5y

Hard to say on that one, nobody has a 100% prediction rate so you have to understand the future of Google. Below is a link that talks about some reasons Google stock might not be such a good investment. If your looking for reasons Google would be, you have to have a look at some of the wall street bidders.

1) Over 75% of professional money managers underperform the average of the entire market!!! So, do NOT follow the lead of the "big-boys" because you will lag their underperforming results leading to horrible returns not worth the risk.\n\n2) Due Dilligence---Don't directly invest into anything someone else recommends unless you did your own research and believe in the company as well (unless that person is Warren Buffet :) )\n\n3) To actually answer your question unlike the previous 2.... my personal picks are as follows (still do your own research to confirm my thoughts)\n\nAKAM (49.25) A great technology company. Current quarter growth is estimated at over 60%, while the industry is -4%. Even though this year is outpacing the market growth by about 50%, it is expected to again outpace market growth by about 30% next year. Fiscal year 06 earnings are expected to gain 67% over 2005's numbers, while Fiscal year  07 is expected to gain 38% over 2006. My personal target for the short-term is $60 (3 month time frame). As for long-term prospects, I expect the stock to hit at least 70 in one year's time.\n\nIf you want something more risky and having more reward potential, go with FRPT (11.83). The stock is under tremendou accumulation and could very well reach $15 by Christmas.
