Up $1.73 today. Why? The next best gain was UAUA up $.50. Other than FedEx up $1.11.

Maybe due to the November traffic report?

Maybe, but all the other carriers had good loads as well and their stock did not due much.

Maybe GS needs to write more "sky is falling" (aka "world is changing") letters to the pilot group.

Oil has gone down about $10/barrel since his letter and the economy has been on an upswing.

Why on earth does anybody own airline stock?

I'm beginning to ask myself that question right now. Of all the industries I could invest in, and once again I chose to buy airline stock.

now that is funny, ha

My Emerging Market funds are up 68%ytd. We're all exposed enough the the airline industry. Sell every airline stock you have and forget about ever investing in them again. Warren Buffet said he'd never put a penny in airlines again. That's good enough for me.

Volatility. As a long-term proposition it's a joke.

Alaska is up the last few days when most of the rest are down. What is going on here?

No $hit, right on the money with the "world is changing" comment. Don't fall for their rhetoric and propaganda- don't be the easily influenced. Their "sky is falling" propaganda is portrayed as a facet affecting only the tiny little bubble that is Air Group and that its up to you to save us from "sky-rocketing fuel prices".
Here's news to you management types at ALK, $100/barrel oil is affecting every airline not just ours; and if another airline is paying less for fuel that's your shortcoming- not mine. Sorry if I thread jacked but I had to respond.

I bought and sold the ALK in the last 3 months and made 20% on it. Many people play airline stocks when they are down and undervalued. Just like your ceos and bods. On the other had I have lost that much on the emerging markets since then and they are still falling, due a large market correction. to each his own.
