BUY

SELL

He sold Delta when the getting was good and made 17%. It's a great time to take profits on stocks with profits. You don't go long-term with airlines. He's glad to be out. Delta is hedged, unlike most of its peers. But the gains have been made already.

BUY

BUY

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Airlines are getting hit now by higher fuel costs, but this is a reopening stock and it trades at only a single-digit multiple. Endure the next few weeks of bumpiness as the Fed raises rate and hold cheaper-value cyclicals because they will outperform. He would add to it. The CEO said recently he can't meet customer demand.

WATCH

It reports Thursday. Look for comments about future projections, past Omicron. Do they think business travellers will come back? Will fares rise? He's skeptical about how far Delta can go in this environment, full of Omicron worries.
