Alright. Gus for you, Saban for me.


Now I do think Newk and Buzzpat should have to play along.

If Newk's team loses to Buzzpats team:



NewK's team always loses to my team. And, as long as they keep throwing Smoking Jay Cutler out there, they'll continue to.

You're right, but not the way you think!

Looking at where oil is going over the next year or so, Delta $6-8 billion in profits next year.

This is a good chart, not sure where the info comes from though. That chart verifies what I've been told and what Hess has said. I doubt we will see sustained prices under $60/bbl. Most of the big U.S. shale producers will keep up what they have been doing the last 5 years.

What has happened is OPEC no longer can manipulate the market and inflate prices because of the U.S. output. That is good for everyone except some of the OPEC countries that need expensive oil to balance budgets. Wonder what $60 oil does to our Trainor investment?

Yep.

Holiday loads however were the worst I've seen in years and my sister and her family decided not to fly over Christmas. RT tickets are $1,200 each even a month out for the flights they need. Loads on the flights they were looking at are less than 40% right now.

If oil prices drop down we may see price wars begin because not many people will pay $1,200 RT for tickets in the U.S.

OPEC is part of it, but look at the dollar, ever since QE ended its been strengthening day by day.

Now ending the tax breaks on 401ks is definitely something some folks in Congress really want to do because that, cough cough, costs the government a lot of money.
The resultant economic crash as a result of such action by Congress would cost the government a heck of a lot more money.

The airlines can always run a last minute "Sale" on airfares if the loads are light over Christmas and New Years a week out. It's too early to tell what the loads were like this Thanksgiving, being that one of the busiest travel days of the year is this coming Sunday.

I think the weather in the north east on Weds. along with free changes to bookings, make it look light, but we'll have to wait a week or so to see how this year compared to last year.

Absolutely.

People with this viewpoint will always look at it as you were getting tax subsidies to begin with and especially so on 401ks. And it's time to end tax subsidies on the rich. They'll always be nipping at it but thankfully congress folks want to keep getting elected.
