update 06-04-08: bac broke support, but partly due to analyst manipulation. the dividend was reiterated. buy back the stock if one sold.
update 06-23-08: bac is down about 30%. there's a lot of speculation right now, but earnings are still expected to grow at a healthy rate once all the bad loans are written off. it's recommended that one double down.
update 07-22-08: bac is making a move. sell when it hits break even at 36.22 or whatever price the original position was opened at.

update 09-11-06: siri is a really good buy under 4.
update 05-16-08: siri and xmsr have some serious issues. if the stock is still owned, wait for the merger news. getting back to break even seems unlikely, but sell on strength, not weakness. siri is in better shape than xmsr; as of now, sell when it reaches 4.
update 07-29-08: it's a little risky, but go ahead and double down on siri. don't pay more than 1.51. |
