I'll be watching this one come May 31st, why? Let's look at American Airlines history.

I'll take a 1 plus stock and watch it go to 10 or 15 a share ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

You know I used to own some airline stock. During travel season, it would always rebound, and you could make a predictable -- if modest-- profit if you have a good sense of timing.

But not for a couple years, the airlines are way too volitle to make it even a halfway good idea.

It's really bad when a South American airline is worth more than many of OUR major airlines.

I did not go beyond 2 yr charts because we all know the terrorist attacks affected our airline travel for years. 

Here is one decent one though, Jetblue airways

As you can see, they used to be a darn good stock to have, but have not done well lately either.
