They’re in mitigation mode until everyone has an idea what the bottom is. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see several moves made once we’ve found the bottom and have an idea on future demand.

NetJets hadn't either. Ever. From 1964 until they did in 2010.

If southwest buys Spirit, it will be under 10 dollars a share. If you want to see where airline stocks are going check out a chart of a cruise ship stock.

I stand corrected, my understanding was under chapter 11 shares were de listed and essentially off the market until reorganization. Chapter 7 being liquidation and worthless. I’m wrong. You’re right

We all make mistakes. The sad part is that if you bought them after they came out of reorganization in 2006, you would be barely even after 14 years.

Had to share this little excerpt from a Motley Fool article (blog?) because it is so funny.

”I've never invested in an airline before, and I don't particularly like the industry. But five years from now, I'm pretty sure people won't be avoiding flying anymore. I could be wrong about choosing Spirit instead of the larger airline stocks, but Spirit has limited international exposure and a pile of cash. I don't how much the stock is worth, but I think it's probably worth a lot more than where it trades today.”

Totally like the pilots that bought the stock in the $40 range and then again in the $20 range. Will they be saying the same thing again if it hits single digits?

The title of the article is “The Key to Investing as Stocks Plunge and Coronavirus Spreads” I guess the key is buy things you don’t know anything about based on feelings? Too funny.

This is a terrible idea never invest your money in your company that you you rely for your income. Especially when there is a real chance of being furloughed
