And suppose ALGT does a 10 for 1 stock split. It would then be about $1.90 per share. What does that tell you? Nothing.

Wasn’t that their whole point? M-ville referred to comparing airlines by only their stock prices as ridiculous, to me that implies an understanding of market cap.

10-1 stock split would be 19.00 per share in this senario. Pilots for the win.

How about 100 to 1 stock split. Sorry, my math goes downhill after the third beer. Or was that the thirtieth beer?

Go away Troll. Shoo.

My post from 3 months ago was sarcasm directed at a pilot who suggested my company was failing because the stock price dropped from an all time high.

But thanks for your financial wisdom. I'm sure we're all real impressed.

Fixed it for you. When you say “outstanding shares” that’s comparable to referencing the Thrust Levers as “Throttles”.

Btw non of us should be bragging about our airline’s stock price. Go look at the 5 year chart for most publicly traded airline stocks, it’s embarrassingly bad. Most have lost value in a 5 year stretch, yikes. You have a couple like SWA and ALGT with 50% gains, SkyWest has a 90% gain over 5 years, which is the highest I’ve seen. Now go reference the SPY 5 year chart, SUBSTANTIALLY lower risk, 110% gain. Nobody should be buying airline stock unless it’s a swing trade, it’s a terrible long term investment.

My favorite is Spirit, highest growth %, stock is down 33% over 5 years! Have mercy!

There are a number of pilots I have run into that do not understand simple financial perspectives. My comment was aimed at them, not you. I will take your body slam, and keep on posting. Thanks!

Meme fail.
