On analyzing the company’s stock charts, there seem to be multiple bullish indications…
Bullish Indications
#1 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern: The daily chart shows that the stock has currently broken out a symmetrical triangle pattern, which is marked as purple color lines. A symmetrical triangle pattern represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out. This is typically formed when there is indecision in the price movements and uncertainty among the buyers and sellers. Once a breakout from the upper trend line occurs, it usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend.

#4 Bullish RSI: The RSI is above 50 and moving higher, indicating possible bullishness.

Recommended Trade (based on the charts)
Buy Levels: If you want to get in on this trade, the ideal buy level for SIRI is above the price of $5.00.
Target Prices: Our first target is $5.70. If it closes above that level, the second target price is $6.20.
Stop Loss: To limit risk, place a stop loss at $4.60. Note that the stop loss is on a closing basis.
Our target potential upside is 14% to 24%.
For a risk of $0.40, our first target reward is $0.70, and the second target reward is $1.20. This is a nearly 1:2 and 1:3 risk-reward trade.
In other words, this trade offers 2x to 3x more potential upside than downside.
Potential Risks / Red Flags:
- The company has ongoing legal proceedings. SIRI is a defendant in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings, including derivative actions; actions filed by subscribers, both on behalf of themselves and on a class action basis; former employees; parties to contracts or leases; and owners of patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property.
- SIRI faces substantial competition and that competition is likely to increase over time.
- The company’s business depends in part upon the auto industry. A substantial portion of the subscription growth for SIRI’s satellite radio service has come from purchasers and lessees of new and used automobiles in the United States.
- The company executives are being paid significant compensation, despite the company’s declining revenues.

READ BEFORE TRADING PENNY STOCKS: The allure of penny stocks lies in their potential to deliver massive gains in a short period of time. However, in exchange for that opportunity, most penny stocks carry tremendous risk. They can be extremely volatile and are susceptible to “pump and dump” schemes and fraud.
Unlike regular stocks, the financial condition of most penny stock companies can be extremely difficult to analyze, as the majority of such stocks are traded on over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges, which are typically less transparent and less regulated than the major exchanges. In fact, in the penny stock space, it’s often easier to spot warning signs and red flags than it is to identify a sound investment. Nevertheless, we do our best to identify short-term trade opportunities in this exciting space because we know some of our readers are looking for high-risk, high-reward ideas. We just urge you to make sure you fully understand the risks before making any of these trades.
