Default Airline stocks

XJT stock at 81cents.... RAH stock down 60%..... where is the bottom here.??

I am almost tempted to buy 500 shares of XJT as a "flyer".... hell if it ever went back to even 2 bucks a share..... would pay for a nice weekend vacation...

Herc,
Take it from me. Stay FAR away from airline stocks. Much better ways to fund the family vacation.

All of the same people probably said the same thing in 2002 when AMR was at $2.00. I personally don't think we are at the bottom, but if you want a really long term investment, I would shop some airline stocks.

There is a lot to be made or lost with airline stocks...... Personally I have been riding the bounces of one airline and it has worked out nicely. I work on 10-20% gain/loss as the sell/buy goals. I don't really look for the actual high/low.

I use the down by 8%, up by 16% sell method.

i know what you are saying.

pinnacle stock: in one year has gone from 21.00 to 3.32

skywest stock: in one year has gone from 29.00 to 12.68

northwest stock: in one year has gone from 24.00 to 5.35

delta stock: in one year has gone from 21.00 to 4.80

i know several guys here at pinnacle who think now is the time to buy some pinnacle stock. if we do get a contract and delta says we can keep flying with them that should give the stock a boost. even if it just went up to 10 dollars you just tripled your earnings. i knew several people that bought a lot of our stock after nwa filed for bk and bought our shares at a couple dollars a piece. then when we signed the new contract with nwa it went from 3 dollars to 21 over night.

What are you using as your trigger points to get in or out?
