i'm not a day trader, and sell timing during a day is not that important, so i use DRIPs. there are all kinds of companies online who do this, i use buyandhold.com but there are other choices out there too. my broker charges $2.99 per trade, and $6.99 a month fee (with 2 free trades).

For long term, its all about the number of subscribers they get.
For short term, it will eventually drop a bit and even out so you just gotta look for trends.

I have not read this entire thread but has anyone checked out Harley Davidson lately? They actually paid a dividend last 1/4.

Well, paper money is only on paper until you sell it. So, I have officially sold SIRI at 2.09. Bought it at .75 so everything is good.

I say hold SIRI for long term - FCC is allowing the duopoly to grow, and is protecting the 2 from the prying eyes of big radio operators
