John ,While Tony has pretty much summed up why we shouldnt answer you I will humor you just a bit longer.UAL ,AMR,DAL AND U could all fall to the Fate that TWA has,As a Matter of Fact they have all gone through Chapter 11s and major reorganization at some point inthere lifes.As far a who can afford to buy or sell the Airlines You mention sounds to me like it comes from some one who cant afford to buy or sell stock s period.I will not disclose my financials to you and no one on this thread should feel compelled to do so either.As far as I can Tell from the profiles here eveyone is a professional and acts accordingly.Weather you are a short term trader ,daytrader or ivestor is of no consequence here.We are here to discuss and learn about this co. Good or Bad.Now to the meat of this conversation.Dont ever come on this thread or any other thread and ask why you should buy it .If you cant do your own DD then Please go back to school and learn to read.You will find this a great assett instead of making an ass of yourself.Secondly if I do find you antagonizing anyone or any thread in the future I will have you removed from SI period .I t is not the intention nor the purpose of this thread to waste its time convincing people to buy this stock.If you want hype then go some where else where your ego feels satisfied.I do hope that I have made myself clear here.Enjoy your life .

Apparently, your stock didn't find too many buyers(Tom, Dick or Harry) today. Nor has it fared well over the past several years vs. UAL, AMR, DAL, or even U for that matter! Please check the action of the stock in the past several WEEKS rather than years. From around $6 13/16 to $11 7/8 high today...that's about an 85% increase. Do you consider CAI, NWA, LUV, and ALK "second rate carriers" as well? I totally agree that TWA is a second-tier carrier. However it is a value play, and I bought at $7 11/16 about 3 weeks ago, so I'm holding for the long term. If you are the astute investor you claim to be, you would already know the reason why I like TWA. Hint: try reading the previous 100 or so posts. Do your own DD.
