My point exactly. :)

Why not???

toiletduck your a cfi. like others have said in other forums, you are voicing some pretty strong opinions about things in which you dont really know anything about. sorry expresjet turned you down for a job but let it go. This isnt finance class either.... if you cant understand why a stock dropped 80 cents then welcome to the stock market. PS airline stocks tend to move together plus or negative and seems to be in a slight slump past couple days

No expressjet will not be in china unless some contract is thrown at us. although i would like to hear "jetrink" on the radio just once. we dont have the capacity for yet another operation right now, theres no guarantee we could have a better operation then mesa in china (i hate mesa but we have problems too and wasnt expecting this decent of a deal from them), and mesa already has some shoddy maintenance so what will happen over there? just a thought. but to say xjet would be better in china is too bold a statement when there is no contract, no airplanes, and no infrastructure in place.

i hope this doesn't positively finance mesa and make them profitable.

First off champ it's "You're" not "your". Secondly what's wrong with being a CFI? What type of plane you fly has nothing to do with economics tard. Thirdly XJT has never turned me down for a job. I own stock in XJTand am currently sitting at 19% profit from the beginning of the year on my investments(not on xjt though). I was asking the question to the guys that said stock price isn't indicative to the company. I know better I just wanted them to explain their BS.
PS. Airline stocks don't tend to move together. If anything they tend to follow the DOW and even then you can't guess them for short term trading.

Once again, explaining what you call my BS, one simple word "Enron". Google it and tell me what the stock price was one week before they tanked. Stock price is indicative of the interest in the company, not necessarily how good a particular company is. Berkshire Hathway different story,

Anybody know what "Kun Peng" stands for?

(Ready, set... go)

You can't put illegal means into the equation though. Enron tanked because they falsified numbers among other illegal actions. The numbers were good indicating the company was good. When it comes to the market it's very indicating "assuming" everything on paper is correct and legal which we all must "assume" is.

I tend to agree with that. A stock price is indicative both of the public interest and a company's financial status. To say that a company's stock movement does not reflect its health is false. It may not be a mirror image of its movement but as a general rule it usually shows trends.

The price to earnings ratio shows a better indication between the company's health and the public interest

BTW Duck I thought you went to republic?

I did. But there's nothing wrong with being a CFI and that was harder to accomplish.

SJS SJS SJS!!

Where is the sarcasm tag?:)

That was refreshing Duck
