    Hey, I started March 2009, 6 months after into being hired civil service. Could kick myself for not investing while I was on active duty. Heard of it but never had anyone put any information out. I didn't know much about investing back then.

    Now I wish I had more money to dump into it. I've been contributing 12% and it's multiplying quite nicely with earnings and employer match. Should be able to pass Birch .......not.

    I just noticed that 2 in the top ten have only processed 2 IFTs YTD. Hmmm....More money with less headache? Something to look at for sure.

    So, my goal was $2 for SIRI since I had bought it at $1 (added a little at 1.35 and 1.67) but I wonder if I should hold it, or sell it for a realized gain of 49%...

    Anyone have any insight into SIRI? Just curious...

    Realized gains is your only way to profit when there are no splits or Dividends.
    I guess it depends on where they are headed or you believe they are headed.
    You took a shot, to this point it netted you 49%. What was your goal, to use it as a potential income stream or pump and dump. Keep to whatever your goal was. IMHO

    So, SIRI has tested $2 twice now but hasn't closed above... looks like today it might. Let's see if it does, then shoots up even more. I am going to hold this for now just to see what happens. Good earnings reports and improved subscriber numbers all sound good for it's stock price.

    Citi is driving me nuts...
    up
    down
    up
    down... Split already, lets get the institutional investers involved...

    I think SIRI is good for day traders.

    BTW, I think your G fund is going to pass me up on the tracker today. LOL

    Well, if the prices hold, I may pass up some of the S funders by default. I am losing less then they are and then the G funders will pass me up.

    We'll more than likely see a nice rebound over the remaining three investing days - G funders won't participate in those gains.

    Slow days at work really suck. Watching the tickers don't provide much entertainment.
