Airlines…Let’s Get Ready for Another Bailout AND Why Southwest is the Best Run Company in The World	There were a few airline bankruptcies this week that got me pulling up tickers. All turds. We are one disaster away from another massive airline bailout ‘crisis’ and other than the airline industry itself, the market could care less. All media eyes are focused on the Bear Stearn’s hearings, but forgets the bazillions the government pissed away after 9/11 saving unsavable businesses and useless executives. NO PAYBACK on those crappy loans. I am always amazed that our piece of...	April 05, 2008

DAL: Taking the Money and Running From Delta	Last September I was bearish on Delta Airlines (DAL), saying “How quickly we get from something that looks enticing to something that looks like it came out of bankruptcy five months ago. Which, of course, it did. Bottom line, if you want to take a flier on an airline, I’d stick with one of the short squeeze plays. The majors still look like they can cause a major league stomachache.” Earlier this month, I noted that I should learn to take the money and run, as three of my previous...	March 12, 2008

If the price of oil drops, the airlines’ profit margin can increase significantly, depending on if and how much fuel hedging they have done. Fortunately, there are a lot of United States based airlines to choose from. AMR Corporation (AMR), which owns American Airlines, has flights all over North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The stock ha...	June 22, 2007
