"JBLU" is nearing a 52 week low. I would imagine now would be a good time to buy-in. Considering median target is in the mid-twenty's. I'm currently in a "Hold" with my shares....but it is tempting to dip into some more at this current price.

What are your thoughts?

Histroy has shown that you can never predict the "low" of a stock until after the fact, when it starts going up.

You can be amazed of how low a stock can go even when you thought the bottom was hit.

Never buy airline stock with your hard earned money. That is my thought. It's OK if it's given to you. There are much better industries to put your money in.
 
Still hasn't hit bottom. There seems to be very little intrest (Low average volume). I looks like its just under 19.00. When it starts moving up and hits 19.25 or higher and the volume goes up, then you might have a chance. Check out yahoo finance or some other graphing web to look at volume.

Otherwise, stay away from airline stocks until the industry can figure out how to make revenue > costs. Big money won't move into the airlines until then.
 
Not to shoot you down dog but I agree with folks here. There are plenty of other stocks at bargain prices right now with more stability than JBLU. It's not that JBLU is an awful idea, just that there are better havens for money right now. On the other hand, if you have some you want to pass out I'll give you my address!!!!!!
 
I believe it was Crandall who said:

I believe Mr. Warren Buffet said "never to invest in any airline"...

Soon Warren Buffet maybe saying "Never buy a fractional" or "never invest in anything related to an airplane"

JBLU is already overpriced at 44 times its earnings - I wouldn't count on it hitting the mid-twenties anytime soon. From the outside looking in, I can only guess that JBLU's operating costs are only going to go up squeezing the profit margins even more.
 
I put some $ into JBLU, but that was to hedge my legacy job...if JBLU puts my company out of business, I want to be on the winning team. If it doesn't, well then I still have my legacy job don't I.

I have a close friend who is an economist and university professor. He mocks me loudly and openly anytime I tell him I own any airline stock, let alone the one I work for. As he puts it: all of your human capital is invested in one industry, the airlines, and one company in particular, in your case Jetblue. Why on earth would you want to place your financial capital into the very same place? Not wise. Airline pilots shouldn't own any airline stocks, especially not the one you work for. If they, God forbid, crash a plane tomorrow morning and kill a lot of people, you are going to wish you had your money somewhere else.

kind of like walking up to the Roulette table and betting on both black and red (you can still loose if you bet on both)

I see that as better odds than just putting all on Red or Black...there is a whole investment strategy like this. They're called hedge funds. And 'hedging your bet' does in fact come from the gambling world.

Then explain to me how you make money if you bet on both black and red if the payoff is even money? Not a good bet if you ask me.
