LUV posts 4th quarter/full year profit.

Sure been flat in recent years, which is better than the rest of transports.

All time high price? Ever heard of splits? Ask an old retired SWA guy how the stock did for him over the years.

No arguments there...if you're behind the fence taking advantage of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Stock Option Awards, etc...it's been a GREAT stock.

But those are not your investors ;-)

Wasn't your argument that $20 is an all time high as if stock splits never happened?

You would not have had to be "behind the fence" in order to have made a killing investing in LUV over the years. Did you read the article - LUV best return of ANY u.s. stock during 30 year period 1972-2002 - 26%/yr?

Plenty of investors who were not employees made plenty of dough during these years.

Maybe your charts only go back a few years, but "best of times" were before 9/11 for everyone.

Indeed the best of times was years ago. That "old SWA guy" who became the multi-zillionaire (we have all heard of him) probably got hired in the early 80's and saw the stock rise and split. A new hire today (well a few years ago) has seen very little movement in the stock.

the "good ole days" in the airline business (all the airlines) are long behind us unfortunately...

you guys are a class act,and the best airline product out there,delta is a close numero dos

 

[Moon-dog]

You guys are killing me! This is so easy; just tell them they're a tool. They probably already know it so you're really not telling them anything new. Once they know that you know, well I think you'll find them a lot easier to deal with. If not, get up and take your sh!t with you. Either way, problem solved! Bottom line, don't be a pu$$-.

Just how retarded are you, Carl? Uh-oh I said the R word, my apologies. Yes I joined to harass you here as well. :laugh:
