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.

Recs 0 (XJT) BravoBevo (99.87) Submitted: 5/22/08 6:36 PM : Start Price: $1.53 XJT Score: -58.37 He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. "Regional carrier ExpressJet Airlines (XJT) said it will temporarily slash its schedule by 30 percent at the end of the summer, citing soaring fuel costs and excess capacity in the market." I know this announcement has prompted Billy Joe and his kid brother to dump the stock, but the business logic makes perfect sense to me. XJT operates 215 aircraft under capacity purchase agreements. With rising fuel prices and a slowing economy, XJT had already intended to cut lower-yielding domestic routes which would reduce average daily departures by 14%. At FQE 3/31/08, XJT had $192 million in cash, with a cash burn rate of $17.5 million during 1Q. There are 51.9 million shares of XJT outstanding. The negative cash flow began last year when XJT started flying under its own banner, in addition to providing regional connecting service that augments Delta and Continental Airlines flights. Last month, SkyWest's unsolicited tender offer was rebuffed as the board concluded that XJT's value is "substantially higher" than the $3.50/share offer. By no means is this a slam dunk but with the recent price drop and some staying power, the risks of this stock have been overly discounted. Eventually, I would expect XJT to be bought up by either SkyWest or Republic Airlines. In the meantime, anticipatory cutting back on unprofitable routes (after the summer vacation season) slows the cash burn until there is some relief in fuel costs, travelers' sentiment or airline price wars.
