Sounds like Mr. Quek dropped this story for a quick pump and dump. After all, he is a noted casino player.

What's up, or down, with AMR's stock? I haven't been tracking it lately, but it caught my eye today.

33% of American is owned by those companies. Seems like a lot.

Conflicting reports- I believe it is only a 7.3% stake in AMR (but still a very sizable chunk)

Malaysian investor, eight companies combine for 7.3 percent of AMR stock | Airline Biz Blog | dallasnews.com

Be very careful with this stock. I'm not trying to flame, but if you buy some, there is a fairly high b/k risk and you would lose your investment. The above mentioned investors may be looking for a quick trade, not a long term investment.

100 shares of AMR is about the same cost as 1 call option a strike off the money on AAPL right now.
