Default AAL Stock Price

Made the mistake of buying airline stock a while back when AAL was at $52+ I am curious as to what the seasoned investors on this board think about the future of AAL stock and if there is a serious effort in place to get the stock price back up or if this is some sort of manipulation. Never again! Parker gotta go!

I think we announce earnings on Thursday. You should get your answer then. UA and DL put up good numbers, if ours aren't about the same...well, you know.

Sell it. Take the tax hit if it's in a taxable account. Buy an ETF or index covering the total stock market.

Isn't that the truth:
Best Case:
Last time AAL was $52 was March 2018, now $32.40....38% loss
SPY (sp500 ETF) was basically flat since then....

Unknown is AAL earnings, if inline/ahead of industry may get a nice bump. If lagging industry returns, stdby for some more pain.

Remember the timeless quote from JP Morgan back in the very late 1800's: When asked what the stock market was going to do he said the only thing he knew was that "stocks tend to fluctuate"!

I posted this in another thread but I think it's applicable here as well.

Hey I feel your pain.... I bought into DAL stock when it started climbing in 2013 @ $13. Thought I was brilliant when I sold a year later @$30 something.....by the end of 2014 it was trading in the $50's.

Like earlier poster said:
1. Not wise to trade in airline stocks.
2. Not wise to take investment advice from pilots!

The answer is always to buy. Since the price has dropped, continue to buy and dollar cost average. Then keep buying.

Earnings have been averaging $5-$6, a multiple of 10 (generous for an airline with little growth IMO) yields $50-$60.

What was your thought process with buying it at $52?

You can make money on airlines, you just have to be a bit lucky and buy at well under current fair value. I made $150k off Spirit (SAVE) this year for example.

I don't see $50/share for some time and only if oil settles down, which with Iran capacity coming down later this year I personally see it only going up. It's possible it will fall into the 20's. Are you prepared for that?
