UAUA: Bull or Bear?

Stock to avoid #7 -- United Airlines (UAUA) Graphic_rating_sell UAUA

Filed under: Stocks to Sell

United Airlines stock, UAUATo get an idea of how poorly United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAUA) has performed, may I suggest viewing this little nugget.

If United is breaking guitars as accused, I would fly another airline. As an avid guitar player myself, such carelessness is unacceptable. The airline industry is struggling, and poor customer service does not help. The above video is now going viral on the Internet - what a PR disaster for United.

As an investor, I really despise the airline sector at the moment. These companies are notorious for being poorly run cash-losing machines.

Now, in the midst of a deep recession and too many airplanes flying too few customers, airline stocks can be expected to be poor performers in the short run and maybe longer.

<>I made the sector part of my Top 10 Stocks to Avoid in 2009. The main thesis, aside from the obvious recessionary issues, was that oil prices would resume their climb at som...

Airlines Ascend on Relief from High Fuel Costs

<>

Airline companies have taken flight recently in spite of the October stock market sell-off, tremendous volatility, and global economic slowdown as crashing crude oil prices lower the cost of jet fuel for the industry. The accompanying table includes statistics for the ETFI Global Airline Index and short ETF proposal, which has still lost over 60% of its market value in the past year for the 30 lowest rated companies despite the recent bounce. Both the 30 lowest rated and all 50 companies have fared worse than the ...

A Short Transport ETF Strategy for the Global Slowdown

<>

Given the global economic slowdown, lower commodity prices, and cool-down in former red-hot grow markets such as China; the accompanying table presents statistics and an overview of a global transport short ETF strategy for passenger airlines, auto makers, maritime, and trucking companies.

While I am still bullish on the prospects for railroads as a long investment idea and a hedge to these short transport ETF ideas, they will also suffer to some degree depending on the length and depth of the s...

This one is pretty self explanatory. The arilines continue to lose money hand over fist. They are driving customers away by the the thousands by taking away basic privelages like blankets and checked baggage that have been around since the beginning of the airline industry. Coupled with the high fuel prices the airlines are dealing with we have essentially entered an era where air travel is a mid-priced luxury good. The best thing that could come out of this is the forced restructuring of how the airlines do business.

Delta-Northwest Merger Should Provide Synergies, But Complications May Arise Graphic_rating_buy UAUA
-69.92%
in 571 days
4/15 - Goldman Sachs - "We are not surprised by the nature or timing of this well-telegraphed merger between NWA and DAL. The announced transaction suggests that the merged companies could achieve synergy savings of $900m-$1b from the optimization of the combined airline’s fleet and an expanded global network plus overhead savings – a level that if achieved would offset our combined loss estimate for the 2 airlines in 2009 of $915m. The merger requires DoJ approval which the airlines expect to receive by the end of the year." "But consolidation in any industry – not least the airline indus...

Flying United: Customer Service Hitting New Lows? Graphic_rating_buy UAUA

Daily rant: I hope a United Airlines (uaua) spokeswoman was right when she told me United is aware of its customer service problems and that it's working on programs to improve the situation. As a longtime traveler on United, where passenger traffic is hitting new highs, the quality of customer service feels as though it's hitting new lows. I'd go so far as to say that at times many of United's flight attendants and others, such as the ticket agents at Los Angeles International Airport, act as though they might as well be working for the post office or the government.

Mayor’s Picks December 2006 Graphic_rating_buy UAUA
-84.59%
in 1054 days

Another month has passed and another round of Mayor’s picks has arrived. The news on the market right now is all about mergers and acquisitions. Some stocks will benefit others will suffer after making dumb moves. Overall it drives the market up (although artificially) and creates good gains for savvy investors. I’m still high on casino stocks but I see the high side coming soon after Harrah’s takes a buyout. Airlines are still on the comeback and retailers like Walmart are in the dumps. So here’s the results from the last 4 months along with my newest picks.
