Airlines Can't Make You Money, Right?

Except for LUV, airlines is a sector that most pro's make a living from bashing. They'll never make a profit they say. So what about the investor? It would be very hard to be holding a major airline stock long-term, that's a given. But what about today? Keep in mind that UAUA is up over 10% today so its easy to say I told you so. UAUA was a $40 stock last year before the energy crisis struck.
It and the rest of the airline sector certainly took a great tumble. UAUA fell all the way from a high of $40 in 2008 to a meager $3 a share as the fallout from the energy crisis reared its head.

Now, with energy prices nervously remaining in a more reasonable trading range UAUA and others are slowly making a recovery.

Who knows, some day these same airlines may actually produce a profit.
