I think the question is: Is getting out with the money the smart move right now?

Bar; FWIW

If you haven't set up a brokeragelink do it first thing monday morning. Put all available investable assets there (sitting in a tax exempt moneymarket trust). The market is going to fall off a cliff within the next 2 weeks... sooner rather than later.

Wait for the market to hit bottom...by 3rd week in Oct. Buy a good 3X etf like tna or erx. Plan to sell in april sometime and shift your holdings to a 3X inverse etf like FAZ. Rinse repeat. Not much babysitting required.

FWIW, from the guy who bought erx monday (not friday) at 30.80 and sold tues for 38, a 25% gain in two days in full view of you folks.

Again, not investment advice, do your own due diligence, your mileage may vary, you are responsible for your own actions, etc.
Dude...you are good!

That will be great. We can grow the route with RJ's and then fly mainline 737's as the demand grows. Oh, those 737's will be flown by Alaska Airline pilots and we will just code share.

Repeat this frequently:

Outsourcing is good for me. Alaska is good for me. Koolaid tastes great.

Tyler Bray for Hypeman!
When Wilson picked a very stout Wisconsin team in the off season as his next stop I think it was easy to see Wisconsin 2011 = Auburn 2010, especially given the Big 10 would be even easier than last year. Although, I thought Nebraska might be a threat but it wasn't even close and I don't think UM will be close and OSU has disappeared. It's a green light.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say WIS vs... a 1 loss ALABAMA for the national championship. A 1 loss Alabama leap frogs an undefeated OU because frankly, nobody wants to see OU in a national championship game anymore anyways. Call it the Oklahoma rule, no matter your record, you're not invited to the national championship game. Oh and Clemson and OU may go undefeated and be left out.

As for Tsquare, you thought I was crazy and I might still be crazy because there is a season left to play but I still think UT wins the SEC East. Of course, a lot of that is lucky, who'd though UF would be in the predicament they're in with such a good team?

And to make this thread pertinent, I predict, that despite a low low ball opener that Delta management will press for a quick resolution and probably go with a 40% pilot cost increase in the interest of expediency and ease. It will fall short of restoration or parity. I might add, the company may settle for something above what ALPA asks for knowing the pilots would vote anything less down. That's my ALPA/DPA tweak of the day.

We'll see how long it takes till my:

Not directed at anyone in particular. DAL trading at 6.78, this is not what I would consider to be a level to sell.

Not to change the subject but didn't I read somewhere a while back that we can now allow offline (CASS) jumpseaters to ride in the cockpit on international flights? Looked in the FOM and it still has the old policy. Any ideas where it says this now or am I dreaming? Thanks,

Denny
