The SatRad Stock Trader: Where's The Opportunity?

Here are some approximate statistics:

Stock price vs. 52 week low: XMSR = up 56%, SIRI = up 16%,
Market Cap: XMSR = 3.98 Billion, SIRI = 5.81 Billion
YOY quarterly growth rate: XMSR = 57%, SIRI= 150%

If you compare the charts of XMSR vs SIRI, you notice that they generally trade together. If one does well, so does the other and vice versa. Assuming the sector has a solid holiday season, both stocks should see appreciation. So which should you chose? That depends on your hot button...if you go for growth, it's SIRI, if it's relative market valuation, it's XMSR.
