Well, Susan, I heard on tv that they are talking about sending ground troops overseas. IF that happens, the markets will take this war a little more seriously - and that could be good for oil, bad for airlines. I currently am holding some LUV, but sold AMR.

airline fuel costs: I heard it last week from one of CNBC's guest (didn't get his name) that airlines cost on fuels related to their total costs/maintenances per aircraft is only 10% this day compare to 20 to 30% during the early 90's... He argue that airlines can continue to make profits even if the cost of fuel rises moderately.. something to think about long term.. =) just me.. eL...

Sue, Just for clarification, when I post a watch list, I do not imply that a short will make its fall in one day. It may not fall at all (not in play) or may take time. It is simply a list to watch and use appropriately. But even though I did not play any of the ones listed below on the short list going into 3/22 open, there were profits to be made by those who did. CAH: Posted at 72 3/8 Intraday low of 66 on 3/25 KROG: Posted at 32 Closed at 24 15/16 on 3/25 APW: Posted at 26 Intraday low of 22 13/16 on 3/23 p.s. none of the above show a gap in their chart below my original posting, so entry was possible at or near the posted price. I did not track all, some did not go down, but I like to contribute (long and short) to make this a better thread. Back to the sidelines David p.s. It seems that U has underperformed the airline sector, at least over the last two weeks.
