X

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Flight loads are increasing and fuel prices should retract a little. AMR is the airline industry leader, and with UAUA and DAL struggling of late at the top of the totem pole, AMR seems ready for liftoff.

This company is going down. Take the second oldest fleet in the country, add terrible on-time performance, sprinkle in some ridiculous fees (including charging for the first checked bag), throw in some piss-poor customer service, and you have a recipe for disaster.

On a side note, I was on an AA flight in January that lost cabin pressure and was forced into an emergency landing. I won't be flying AA again, and something tells me I'm not alone.

Adding fees to bother its customers isn't going to keep this pig in business. It's a sorry company and I'll be glad to see it go bankrupt.





I live in the DFW area, and thanks to a sweetheart deal that AA has with the DFW airport, Southwest can't fly out of Love field other than to neighboring states. That means I pay more and get p*ss-poor customer service.





I have to fly on this airline a lot because I don't have much choice. It has some of the rudest employees that couldn't care less about customer service. Then they charge you for curbside check-in and still expect you to tip the guy. On the plane the tray on my seat was filthy when I got on board, and the stewardess dude refused to clean it. "Don't have any cleaning supplies, but here's a couple of cocktail napkins to cover up the mess with." Their planes are just filthy flying sewers. Oil prices may finally flush the toilet on them.





Obviously, there is some personal hatred of this company involved, but I think this one will head to bankruptcy court within the next 12 months.

This is a trade. Oil may have had a blowoff top today. AMR certainly had a blowoff bottom. Any easing in oil and this baby pops. In addition, they made moves to improve cost structure. Always a good thing. Keep a tight stop at 6.00

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
