Tom Lydon of ETF Trends reported today that Claymore is expected to launch the first Airline ETF in early 2009, which will contain 26 passenger airlines with a mix of 70% domestic and 30% global companies. It remains to be seen if the Airline ETF will experience a similar fate as recently launched, narrow-focused transport funds, including the Claymore/Delta Global Shipping (SEA) and PowerShares Global Progressive Transport (PTRP) – which were launched this past fall and have attracted $9.6M and $1.8M in ne< />< /><><><>< />< />< />< /><><>...

The table presented above (click on the image for a full-screen view) represents my proposal for an inverse ETF tracking the 25 lowest-rated passenger airline companies from across the globe with market caps over $200 million. The airline industry has a history of bankruptcies and operating losses and currently faces skyrocketing fuel costs and economic uncertainties, resulting in less travel for pleasure and business. My short airline ETF utilizes a rating formula which factors in each company's market cap, revenues, and trailing 52-week stock price change in order to select...

Oil priced have dropped well off their highs. Furthermore, after reviewing the 2-month chart of AMR, we can see an obvious down trend. But in the last week, it appears that the stock has broken this trend.
There is a double bottom and what appears to be a new uptrend, confirmed by price support on heavy volume. I would guess that AMR will break-out soon, if fundamentals continue to improve with oil coming off it's highs.
If this is a true recovery phase, I expect a large amount of accumulation as we progress into Spring / Early Summer. This is a great stock with $5 bil...

AMR: Q3 could have been worse; AirTran solid
Filed under: Earnings reports, AMR Corp (AMR)  American Airlines had yet another difficult quarter, not unexpected in what has become an incredibly deep travel slump. The carrier's parent company, AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR), reported a third quarter loss of $359 million, largely because there aren't as many business travelers taking to the skies. Corporate travel budgets in all industries are having an effect on all airlines, including AMR.
<>Revenue plunged 20.2% year-over-year for the third quarter for the nation's second airline. The loss comes after a $31 million gain last year. This quarter's lo...

UAL Earnings Give a Boost to Airline ETF
<>Chicago-based UAL Corp. (UAUA), parent of United Airlines, gave a mix of good and bad news in its earnings report on Tuesday. The company narrowed its third quarter loss to $57 million, a significant improvement from the nearly $800 million loss incurred in the same period last year, but a loss nevertheless. In what is becoming a recurring pattern of this earnings season, United attributed the improvement to cost cutting measures, as opposed to stronger revenues. United noted some early signs of an uptick in air traffic, but said pricing needs to firm and business travel needs to return bef...

Extra airline fees to become the new "normal"
Filed under: Boeing Co (BA), AMR Corp (AMR), UAL Corp (UAUA) If you think all those new airline fees were a temporary measure to help these beleaguered companies through an economic crisis, you're out of your mind. Now that they've had a taste of how much they can make by charging you for an extra bag or a little more leg room, they're hooked. More important, the fees are making up a meaningful portion of airline revenues and profits, so investors aren't likely to be satisfied with a return to normal - well, they can't. Extra fees are the new "normal." <><>Continue reading <>Extra airline fees to b...
