DON'T BUY
The worst possible industry to be in. Why would you want to own it. There are so many things wrong as a debt holder or as a stockholder.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 14/11.Up 4.3%.) 9.25% Bond maturing Aug 1/15. Still likes.
DON'T BUY
He doesn't speculate. Prefers companies that generate free cash flow and stay out of bankruptcy.
DON'T BUY
Seem to have a very weak corporate culture. Their ability to, not only shoot themselves in the foot, but to shoot both legs off is quite unbelievable.
DON'T BUY
Balance sheet is extremely marginal they will have a difficult time raising debt; have a hard time raising equity. Stock is 4-5 discount to book value. An industry that eats money.
DON'T BUY
It is certainly possible they would go belly up, but would not forecast it since the economy is improving. He doesn’t invest in airlines. If you take all of the earnings since the birth of aviation, it is a negative number. He is keep on the suppliers.
DON'T BUY
High-risk/high reward. As a value player he does not favour the stock. Probably trading with a negative book value. Prefers Western Jet (WJA-T), which has earned money for the last 26 consecutive quarters, pays a dividend and is sitting on $1.3 billion in cash.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 29/10. Down 62.33%.) Sold most of his position. Not happy with airlines as they don't really seem to work out.
DON'T BUY
The strike is now over and fuel prices have come down. Doesn't feel comfortable at the moment and he would go elsewhere.
SELL
Can’t stand airlines. Not investments. They are trades. He is an investor, not a trader. No business in the world has destroyed more capital than the airline business. Fuel prices are the only positive thing in that business.
TOP PICK
9.25% Bond maturing Aug 1/15. Market is critical of airline stocks in general because it has been tough to make money off them through the years. Company has moved down its debt to a little more than$2 billion and generating well north of $400 million of free cash flow.
DON'T BUY
Has never owned airlines. West jet is a little less risky than this one. Thinks there are better places to be. There may be a trade here bit it is not for him.
DON'T BUY
Took a fairly big dive but has recovered now. Can't see it going up much further. There is some support at $2.20 but he wouldn't touch the stock. Looks like it is on a longer-term downtrend.
DON'T BUY
AC.B West Jet versus Air Canada? Airlines is a lousy, lousy business. Has never owned any. Okay for short-term trading opportunities. If you must own airline, it should be West Jet as it is a quality company of the two.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick May 27/10, Up 1.08%) They are being hit by the strike. The planes are packed and they have great capacity. Fuel costs worried people. Airline business is hard for investors. He is hoping the dream will be resumed at some point.
