That's why I'm holding it. Hell, I actually had some for a while. When it went down more, I bought more refusing to sell at a loss.

I'm still kind of new to the stock market, and the amount of money I have in stocks right now is nothing to get worked up over.

You and me both :crossfingers:

I bought SIRI (Sirius Radio) at about 5.4/ share thinking there was nowhere to go but up...boy was I wrong. We're at 4.2 now.
I owned that dog several years ago. I bought thinking the same thing you did. In my opinion its not a well run company. I didnt lose money but i didnt make much either.

I'm sitting on a small bit of cash, so I'm hoping for a big crash. Record-high oil prices, disappointing profit reports, political unrest in many areas of the world, record consumer/governement/corporate debt, etc., etc. To me it seems there's no reason in the world for the market indexes to be as high as they are.

Take your money out.

Or sniper a tiered short sequence.

Right now is a good time to buy the undervalued.

If you'd like my technical or fundamental analysis on a ticker post it here.

Remember, beaking even is winning too. Making money is awesome. Losing money...well thats not good.

And stocks should only consist of a percentage, not all of your investment portfolio.

Short Version:

Technical: If Q2 report is reasonable, you could pick up a point or two in the short term 2 months if you play it.

Fundamental: Regardless, many consider GE as heavily diversified. They're still selling off divisions.

Come back to GE's plate in Q4 when restructuring is complete.

As of right now i feel nothing new nor exciting with this ticker even with tomorrow's live call.
