EZC-Boston Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 More from Reuters... Sirius falls after analyst says stock overvalued 10:57 a.m. 12/08/2004 Provided by NEW YORK, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI) fell as much as 27 percent in early trading on Wednesday after an investment firm said the stock was overvalued following a rally that nearly tripled its value in the last two months. "While we remain bullish on company fundamentals, we believe the recent surge in the stock has taken Sirius to levels that are difficult to justify using any reasonable valuation framework," Smith Barney analyst Niraj Gupta said in a research note. Gupta downgraded the shares to a "sell" rating from a "hold." Sirius stock had almost tripled in the last two months after attracting attention by adding radio industry veteran Mel Karmazin as its new chief executive and revealing plans to broadcast Howard Stern's popular radio show in 2006. Wednesday's fall brought the stock back to where it was a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stussy109 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I know that. Trust me when I tell you that Sirius won't tank anytime soon. 151496[/snapback] SIRI down $1.65 to 7.36, an 18.1% drop... get out and take your profit with you while u can. Looks like all the institutions sold theirs with 326million shares being traded. Sell and get back in when it comes back down to 4ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Smith Barney cut Sirius from "hold" to "sell," they also raised their target price from $5.80 to $7. Currently it's hovering in the $7.50's, after being down as low as $6.58. Am I disappointed it took a big plunge and I couldn't take part in it? I'd be lying if I said "no," but I'm still up over 67% of my original investment and can't complain too much.

Easy two grand for three hours work. And I have my original principal PLUS the profit to put into something else now. Put some back into scrap steel recycling, take a flyer on 40 January 20 Seagate calls...Bet you a dollar my out-of-the-money calls outperform your Sirius in the next two months...

What do you gain by rubbing things in people's noses? 152161[/snapback] First, I like laughing at idiots. Second...and more importantly...maybe, just maybe, I educate someone that investing is about making money, and not about falling in love with a stock "for better or worse". Probably not, though...the whole point of the market is to provide a place where stupid people are not only allowed but encouraged to be ripped off by smart ones.

If you can't take some ribbing, you're in the wrong place. DC Tom and I have battled back and forth on this board more times that BF_In_Indiana has tripped over his own feet, but today, I had no qualms about asking him for some help with something I wasn't quite sure about. In a few PMs, I feel much more comfortable with the situation. Just funny that you can't all realize that everyone's not as bad as they seem as when you give them so much ammunition to work with.
