Continental Airlines, Inc. (CAL)

CAPS Rating:
*

A United States air carrier engaged in the business of transporting passengers, cargo and mail.

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.

Sell airline stocks going into recession (Avg Loss = 40%), Buy airline stocks when in recession (Avg Gain = 70%).... Historical cyclical performance in addition to the consolidation trends in the industry make CAL and the rest of the industry a very attractive play.

COA is a good one to watch as they are doing a good job of pulling themselves out of the Bankruptcy they were in. Now it has to be said, that even if it is a small gain, it will do well.

Yeah, I can fly... CAL has not merged and truefully that is not going to help them. Oil is still $120. They have to cut costs and adjust flights. They have beaten the estimates the last 5 quarters. They are risky, but if you want an airline. Give CAL a look.
