Anyone watch the stock market at all?

[Wren57]

I used to watch the stock market heavily and trade in tech stocks (back in HS when I had time to watch it). I've since put almost all my equity in safe long-term big-cap stocks and large mutual funds.

Right now I would be extremely cautious regarding satellite radio stock. With XM and Sirius fighting for not only customers but hosts (see Howard Stern $500M) they are making it cheaper for the consumer and more expensive to produce. The only way they will turn a significant profit is if they manage to get satellite radio mainstream (as in over 80% of cars). Until they do this, I don't foresee them doing so well, and I think we are still 5 years off from this.

I'd say it is a high-risk, high-return stock. Could go belly-up due to costs and slacking customer base, could go up considerably. All up to their marketing department and sales force. Don't put more than 15% of your money in these stocks.
