It’s interesting, 81 pages in and I have not seen 1 post about people losing money on the JetBlue deal based on their share price offering. They all assume at $30 you would make gobs of money as if you purchased the shares right at the bottom. I purchased some of my shares at $35 and the rest at $26. This JetBlue deal would force me to sell some shares at a loss. As a shareholder why would I want that? How is that superior again?
I have no idea where the major institutions DCA is on their SAVE shares since they have been as high as $80 and as low as $8 but I doubt all happened to buy their millions of shares with perfect timing.

Just to be clear, if you bought the stock of a typewriter manufacturer for $40 just before the invention of the personal computer/word processor program, and that stock had fallen to $10, and another company offered to buy your shares for $20 a share, you would vote NO and wait for your shares to go back above $40???
I'm glad you will never manage my portfolio.

You've already been told exactly why your investment strategy is at a kindergarten level, but maybe this simple illustration will drive it home.

1. You mean how the two largest ULCCs have to merge because they are running out of markets that support daily service, and are already cannibalizing each other's routes that do support daily service? That's why Spirit and Frontier have so much more overlap than JB+NK.
2. The point isn't actually the typewriter or dead model, it's an illustration of how stupid it is to use your purchase price as your main data point for sell decisions. THAT was the point of the illustration.

Yes. If this is someone’s real concern, sell all your SAVE stock right now, and repurchase ULCC. Problem solved.

Yep, doesn't matter anyway, he's a frontier pilot and probably has 11.23 shares, so even if it went back to the price he paid for it, he could hardly buy a steak dinner... The share price isn't really why he's making the argument.
