<> 
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 ...

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.

UAL has almost good news for third quarter
Filed under: UAL Corp (UAUA) <> The skies are starting to look a little friendlier to United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAUA). The airline reported a quarterly loss that was lower than expected. Third quarter traffic was off only 2.9 percent, but because United used discounts to fill seats, revenue fell 20.3% (to $4.43 billion). The key to a recovery will be getting passengers to shell out for more expensive seats. According to United's president, John Tague, "There's no opportunity here for a full revenue recovery until we get premium cabin pricing back." He doesn't know how long this is going to take,...

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."
