The accompanying table includes the top 50 rated companies and statistics for the ETF Innovators (ETFI) Global Transportation PerformIdex, which is structured as an equally-weighted index with quarterly updates from a database of 225 companies included in the following five indexes:
Given the global economic slowdown, lower commodity prices, and cool-down in former red-hot grow markets such as China; the accompanying table presents statistics and an overview of a global transport short ETF strategy for passenger airlines, auto makers, maritime, and trucking companies.
While I am still bullish on the prospects for railroads as a long investment idea and a hedge to these short transport ETF ideas, they will also suffer to some degree depending on the length and depth of the s
We were anticipating a further decline in the airlines, but we are now taking the other side of the trade and going long JBLU. With Oil retreating we are anticipating JBLU to continue higher. We will watch this trade closely and look to go short again on any sign of weakness in JBLU or strength in Oil.
The table presented above (click on the image for a full-screen view) represents my proposal for an inverse ETF tracking the 25 lowest-rated passenger airline companies from across the globe with market caps over $200 million. The airline industry has a history of bankruptcies and operating losses and currently faces skyrocketing fuel costs and economic uncertainties, resulting in less travel for pleasure and business. My short airline ETF utilizes a rating formula which factors in each company's market cap, revenues, and trailing 52-week stock price change in order to select
My bullish piece on JetBlue (JBLU) back near the end of May has not fared too well. Since the article, the shares have retreated an additional 25% to hit fresh multi-year lows. The culprit was most likely an additional 7% rise in crude. I was definitely "out to lunch" on this call, but not all is lost, as positive developments could be near.
Legacy Carrier decimation: JBLU's relative strength is higher than its peers. Its 25% plunge the past three months is low compared to United's (UAUA) 85% drop, American's (AMR) 50% slashing and Delta's (DAL) 48% drubbing. The entire sector is extremely
I see Jet Blue making positive moves to reduce costs, postpone capital expenditures and take over market share abandoned by other Airlines. Additionally, Jet Blue has a unique product that manages to maintain almost a 'cult' following. As such, I expect them to better handle the stresses of rising oil prices and further grab the market share of customers abandoning the hidden cost airlines. The fundamentals are very shaky on this pick; however, the long term prospects of this investment could pay huge dividends. Investing in JBLU is on par with investing in an option as the upside is tr...
This past week was disastrous for the airline group; the week’s 4% rise in crude was the catalyst sending many shareholders into a panic mode as they sold at will, driving the price of the group into the ground.<!----> The fact that pure havoc was resonated through the entire sector is an understatement, as United (UAUA) lost 50% of its value, American (AMR) got slammed with a 33% drop and Delta (DAL) took a 25% hit. JetBlue (JBLU) had stronger relative strength, losing only 15% of its value, although it too, closed at an all time low of $4.25.
increased revenues - smart management - strong cash position - this is the best airline bet to win AS SOON AS the price of oil stablizes and reverses course
remote buy-out candidate if and when the fed's change the law permitting foreign entities to buy-out US carriers. Southwest and JetBlue have unique business models that will succeed where the big carriers won't.

4/2 - "I have had some clients ask me, what industry I think will benefit from the $600 rebate checks that are due to be sent out as part of the U.S. economic stimulus package. I think airlines will benefit, especially lower cost carriers like Southwest (NYSE: LUV) and Jet Blue (NASDAQ: JBLU)."
"Because we aren't talking about flying around the world or across the Atlantic for that measure, trips to Las Vegas or Orlando, for example, will fit the family, and of course people need a way to get to these destinations, so that's how the airlines become interesting."
