Default UAL up 170%

UAL stock ripping. Found this cool web site that tracks the market cap of the world's most valuable airlines.

DAL still #1.

I bought a chunk in I think early July right before Q2 earnings call. I was tempted to hang on but I sold last week. Still made out pretty well. Bought at about $36 and sold at around $95. Probably the only thing I'll have done right all year!

I recall warning about the perils of creating a single point failure node by buying your company's stock. IIRC, United Pilots lost a bundle in their bankruptcy that way.

I'm fully aware with the risks. I didnt buy a lot but it was still painful. I know we had a few at Nk that dumped 6 figures worth and will lose it all....

The legacy UAL pilots had no other investment options beyond the pension and their ESOP, at least not tax advantaged. They also were not allowed to sell until after the stock was worthless.
