Buffett buys and holds on for quite some time and when he does sell, he will sell off small portions over time to not alarm people (mass selling) and in turn destroy the company. Warren Buffet just dumped $900 million worth of Walmart stock all at once. Traders and investors could care less about the well being of a company. Let's not be so naive |

I doubt he could afford either. (Or at least wouldn't want to risk that big of a bet.)
I doubt regulators would be cool with any private fund controlling such a large share of the US market. I'd look for him to possibly buy something like Jet Blue. |

AA is the better turnaround candidate after the sloppy USAirways merger. He could just take Parker to dinner, buy him 12-15 beers and a deal will be struck!

Just how old is Buffett?

Perhaps you should look at the companies he has taken private, considering that is what's discussed here. He's looking for moats.

Doubt it. People need to get places to facilitate commerce-just as coal and iron ore do. The economy would take a massive dump if either one were to falter. Apples and oranges-but AA is the world's largest airline-saying that it is less important than some airline doesn't make it so. |
O that Buffett.
And here I thought we might end up flying in Hawaiian shirts and flip flops. Bet the uniform nazis heads would explode if that were to happen. |
