heinz, re i always buy what nobody wants...

Occasionally I do, too. Not very often though. But I am long an airline stock as of yesterday.

Labor disputes, fare wars, at the mercy of fuel prices, etc.

I believe it was Paul Allen, co-founder of MSFT, who said that if you combine the total airline co profits and losses for the last 10 years, you'd have a net loss. I read that in 1996.

And yet, people have to fly. It doesn't matter if you're an exec of a nutz company like Priceline.com, or an oil company employee, they gotta fly. But I feel silly buying an airline stock, because they're not hip to own.
