Slider, with or without terrorists - airlines will have to buy insurance and like every other business in North America they are subjected to higher costs and tighter profit margins....unless you're speculating on $14 crude and an airline or two going bankrupt - watching the grass grow might be more profitable.

The UAL chart is interesting for the last several months but what the heck is that EPS all about. That is uglier than some .coms.............. Scares me to see that even if it is United Airlines. Of course, they probably have very good and ethical accountants that are just spelling out the truth. FRNT looks pretty interesting....... they also look a bit better financially (MHUO - my humble uneducated opinion) I don't see any news for the big jump today and the recent rise. I guess the most positive thing for FRNT is that Merrill Lynch cut ratings on 7/2. Isn't that a good and positive sign?
