AMR Corp (AMR)

Earnings Estimates Revised Downward

Customers will likely curtail travel plans until true signs of recovery are present, like falling unemployment. If revenues go to zero, no amount of cost cuts can maintain a profit.

hi oil prices and not enough passengers due to the hi unemployment.

No pricing power. Sour employee relations. The price of oil will only go up over the long run.

This stock is a perennial money loser with too much debt. The industry tends to cycle through bankruptcies at least once a decade. I suspect we will see another bankruptcy within 3 years.

Airlines are not at the best moment right now, and I'm not seeing any recovery soon. In terms of balance sheet it seems this company is in real trouble

I think revenue is still going to slump and we are going to be seeing a repeat of last quarter. The hit they are taking this year on 1.8B in notes payable is pretty significant. Alot of timebombs are out there on this one. There is also lately this Rockefeller-style competition coming from Southwest.

We're American Airlines, doing what we do best!!!!! and flying isn't one of them.

Even the bankrupt companies are rallying? Give me a break.

Besides the laundry list for not investing in airlines at all (umm, let's see: oil money, less spending money in a recession, huge overhead costs, terrorism fears, etc...), the big airlines - Continental, United, Delta, and the like - have been dragging for years. And now they have fresh competition even WITHIN the industry, like JetBlue and Southwest, to deal with - companies that are cheaper, friendlier, younger and more agile - and who don't necessarily charge you an extra $25 to check a single bag. On top of this, ask anyone who frequently flies overseas whether they'd prefer ANY big European airline over ANY American one for any kind of travel - I'd bet money on anything but American.

Hello, it's an AIRLINE.

Current ratio, Z-Score, airline, etc.

Bought Puts.

The airlines have shown exactly how to make a difficult situation even worse i.e. abandoning all perks that made airline travel more than just a mean of getting there and then charging for items (C'mon charging for water!!) that were previously already part of the high cost of flying. Watch as this stock continues to due the limbo ("How low can you go")

I realize with oil going down, but even at $100 per barrell, the airlines are not profitable. Long term prospects are not good and I'm betting against their success long term.

Target 9.34

I think oil will resurge to $130 before finally going down again, so I'm putting a short-term short on this and the other big airline stocks. Wish I'd gotten in with cash when all 3 were at $5 - maybe one will go bankrupt, but the other two would double or more. If they hit $5 range again, I'm getting into AMR, DAL and UAUA.

it flys...or does it sink?
