'Speculators' Are Starting to Avoid Companies with Legacy Costs

Here's the future , embrace it or die of starvation .... American companies can no longer afford business models designed in the prosperous 1950's , where everyone gets a fat check , 60 days paid vacation , total health coverage , 20 years of pension checks for retirement , and the CEO's get bonuses for being fired !!!!! We are now competing with the world like never before ..... and it's going to be " get paid when you work " , and you get zilch to sit on your ass or play on the computer ..... That's just the way it is now , and it's suffer a little now , or a LOT later ........ Having said all that , the government needs to get a good Health system going , part private pay , part tax subsidized ( and NO , not RUN by the government ) .... and we need to ENSURE social security stays solvent ...... We are all free to save for retirement , and social security just needs to be a decent , basic , insurance , so old people are not totally poor and destitute ...... If you're worth $500,000 at age 65 ????? NO SOUP FOR YOU !!!!!!

The Airlines' Recent Death Defying Actions

I just bought some LCC ( US Air ) at 7.96 , and while I am no number cruncher , I think that was a good price , especially if oil gets under 110 a barrell ....all the airlines would be better off ....I just wish i had loaded up a month or so ago at 3.00 !!!!!! The only thing that is worrisome is war , and oil right now ....this world is so volatile ......I am wondering if this Russian / Georgian conflict is going to hit the stock market .......I have a feeling Monday will be a down day , right out of the opening bell .....we will see .....actually Monday may be another opportunity to buy airlines cheaper if they dip ......

Slimfast Diet, Airlines Version

yes , this article was worthless , and I am not finding anything worth reading from the so-called analysts ......I am curious what people think of AMR right now .....I could sell @ 8.90 and make a decent little lick , but I am wondering if I should get greedy !!!!!! Anyone have any thoughts ?????? My average is @ like 6.50 , and I am thinking of course fuel will come down in the fall , which may bump AMR and CAL up more
