Also Trend is big in the AI security space. Recent partnerships with NVDIA and Intel to secure AI models and silicon. They are quite undervalued https://stocks.apple.com/AA89GQKTvS3mDenacrm6SvQ https://stocks.apple.com/AJv620b9cTeaS5hAM_iLSAA

Definitely nah. Basically infinite share sells from AMC at a certain price with those loans. The stock is worthless and 'apes' going to be destroyed further by AA.

That AA should be fine, but I am of the position that [international index funds are not worth holding in the current global economy](https://jlcollinsnh.com/2012/09/26/stocks-part-xi-international-funds-2/). Just some food for thought.

Shared about how much I lost last week in my AA meeting and they let out an audible “oooooh”. Had one of them come up after the meeting and he asked me if I had learned from my dumb mistake. Shut up dude, I just lost money, you lost your kids.

Yes. Someone will” spend some extra time catching up. But, truly, our systems were down for less than two hours. Maybe we’re the Southwest and AA of healthcare But I don’t think so - I think the media and the internet can take an anecdote or photo of a busy airport and make it int9 the end of the world. This ain’t the end of the world

I like to keep track of stocks I research and strongly consider buying but end up deciding not too. The most recent batch was from Feb 8th, their performance since then has been: Alcoa Corp (AA): 36% Shoe Carnival (SCVL): 45% Urban Outfitters (URBN): 12% Duckhorn Portfolio (NAPA): -10.5% Pfizer (PFE): 11% West Lake Chemical (WLKP): 7.5% Universal Logistics (ULH): 44% FMC Corp (FMC): 18.5% Eastman Chemical (EMN): 22% Combined they give an average return of 21% compared to the S&P's 12% over the same time period. But I didn't buy those, and in the same time period my portfolio has returned ~4% lol

If your horizon is longer than a year, I see no reason not to be so balls deep in this sector that your nuts are in there too. They're still shoving chips into everymotherfuckingthing they can build. My buddy's wife purchased an electric toothbrush a couple weeks ago that has *Bluetooth connectivity* and an *app*. That's fucking stupid, but it was purchased is the point. A lot of these chip uses are less stupid and function well as productivity aids and there is going to be *massive* hunger for productivity aids over the next 20-25 years at minimum as we deal with demographic changes. Old people are notoriously unproductive and need a lot of productivity to care for them. And that's just the US. Worldwide, as usual, the rest of the world would really like to get ahold of the luxuries we have here. There's plenty of room for market expansion What the correct AA is for you personally is an individual call, but I can't imagine not at least having a small semi/tech tilt.

Ancient-Chinglish

I celebrated two years without drinking in June. Earlier periods in my life I have pieced together periods of sobriety. This isn't my longest (I almost had 5 years previoulsy) but it feels the most legit. One is much more important than the other. Remember that. Sobriety before anything or you risk losing whatever you put in front of it. I am not in AA but they definitely have a few things right. We could look at red days until I lose my sight and that wouldn't equal the actual hell I was living in active alcoholism. Last Weedstock summer I felt like constantly shopping because there were so many near-term catalysts on the horizon. All Tier 1 msos felt undervalued. This summer feels different. I am holding all current positions but I am also holding my dry powder. Take care brother.

There is a bit of a technical problem going on with AAA debt. Essentially the difference isn't enough to be worth arbitraging and there is Though given the Republican Congress' regular threats of default I feel safer holding AAA (or for that matter AA or A) than treasuries. Treasuries in theory are have 0 credit risk, given the level of political risk I don't think that is true. > Also, another question. Do CDs (upto FDIC limit) have exactly the same guarantee as treasury bonds. Very good question. The FDIC claims it is "full faith and credit". The technical meaning of "full faith and credit" is that the nation not just the state is liable (i.e. after a revolution the new government would be expected to honor the debt). I'm not sure how a program that applies only to deposits under $250k and domestic would meet that. So my opinion is no CDs don't excluding the political risk. I don't take the FDIC's promise seriously there. Including the political risk I think they are likely safer.

cali-uber-alles

A lot of people say the VX acquisition was a defensive play to stave off a DL acquisition. That’s not how the HA merger looks to me, it looks more like an ego play from the new iteration of management. If the merger gets approved and then something happens that sends the industry sideways, they are going to quickly look like the dogs who caught the car when they run out of cash. A similar thing happened after the US Airways acquisition of AA - Doug Parker and team thought they beat the game and just started buying back stock all the way into negative cash flow territory, then whoopsie Covid happened. Ultimately bailout must be part of these guys calculation, but also that’s why my hypothesis is this iteration of AS is going to burn fast and hard.

Own_Hat2959

Banks in general are in a pickle. The amount of debt they hold that is stuck with low interest rates is just going to hammer on them as unrealized losses until things turn around with interest rates dropping. So much of what banks hold as reserves is just underwater. All of the CDO's, CLO's, treasury Bonds, corporate bonds, commercial mortgages, auto loans, etc are just stuck on their balance sheets with 3-5% interest rates locked in from the 0% rate era, and the only thing that is going to fix that is time and lower interest rates inducing entities to refi/sell. In the commercial space, high interest rates are creating distress. Commercial mortgages are becoming more and more attractive to default on as the value of office buildings plunges and vancancy rates escalate, and commercial bankruptcy is being instigated by high interest rates making it much harder for business to roll over and refinance all kinds of corporate debt that is coming to maturity. The whole US economic system is in sort of a vice, stuck between high interest rates fucking all the debt they currently hold(including the Fed, they are "losing" hundreds of billions a year in funny money from their treasury bond holdings), and the need to stop inflation with high interest rates, because inflation ... it also fucks banks holding mountains of fixed rate debt. The sort of flip side is that inflation helps the federal government debt problem in the long term, and anyone who owes low fixed interest rate debt. Ultimately, it would help to pull some juice out of the economy while also cutting rates. The way to do that is to cut government spending and raise taxes and drop interest rates by increasing market demand for US treasury bonds by constraining new treasury supply and increasing market confidence in the US ability to repay(Ya, the US is AA-AAA, and widely considered risk free, but realistically, confidence can still improve and push rates lower), but it won't happen. None of it will, and the best we can hope for is that the sick man is carefully managed and can take enough steps to stabilize the situation and grow out of the problem given 20 or 30 years time, and let inflation and GDP growth erode and reduce the real value of of debt slowly enough to not cause an economic calamity.

Depends on the credit quality of the company. Unsecured loan to Apple with an Aaa/AA+ rating at anything over 6% while RFR is 5%? Too good to be true. Unsecured loan at 15% to your friend's company which may be on the edge of bankruptcy but is supposedly guaranteed? Too good to be true. *Any* investment not backed by 100%+ risk-free collateral described as guaranteed? Too good to be true and probably also fraudulent marketing of securities.

I’m assuming the Mexico credit rating (BBB) versus that of the US (AA+) has something to do with it.

FlaccidEggroll

AA beats them on price, locations, and flyer program. Delta may be a better company on paper, but the complete dismantling of the thing consumers care about is going to bite them in the ass, especially with the loyal flyers like you. All in all though, I don't think anyone should be touching airlines with a 10 foot pole unless they're experienced investors, any tiny hiccup in the economy and they get roasted.

AMC puts AA dilution is imminent

Calm_Like-A_Bomb

Weren’t puts on AA like 10x the daily average on 9/11? Guess Osama tipped off one of his trader cousins.

electrolitebuzz

I agree. If there's a shift in the next 2-3 decades, which is not that unlikely given the growth of many Asian countries, and how priced in the US stock market is now, holding only US stocks could be a problem. An all-country fund (possibly including small cap too, like V3AA or VWCE) is a more responsible strategy IMO. Or a mix of V3AA/VWCE and S&P500 / Nasdaq 100 so that you don't lose many revenues in both scenarios.

thomastypewriter

Sober idiot here. I would not take advice from people on Reddit about getting sober, particularly because they’re honed in more on no-God than actual recovery, whether they know it or not, and often have unresolved issues that they do not realize and are not addressing. As far as secular recovery goes: there is SMART recovery, LifeRing, Moderation Management, Refuge Recovery, “12 step meetings” not part of AA, Recovery Dharma, etc etc but most importantly: look into medically assisted recovery. The Sinclair method and similar treatments have had a lot of success. I personally think that, some form of therapy, and some kind of meetings to establish community and a place to talk with other people who aren’t therapists is the winning combo. But keep in mind AA doesn’t require you to believe in an almighty God. The program can be your higher power, love can be it, anything. It just requires you to believe in something bigger than yourself, which is really the point. Going to AA meetings without guidance and doing it on one’s own often leads to people missing out on a key fact- you don’t have to treat it like religion, just use it as a general guideline and find what works for you. Some people are hardcore into rules and whatnot and that works for them. Others don’t need that, and in fact I think most alcoholics don’t respond well to too many rules and lectures.

ExchangeBright

AA is a borderline insurance scam

Nickeless

SMART and/or a good rehab is better in my opinion, but AA does work for a lot of people as well. Some combination of those things and individual therapy is common and should be pretty effective. Idk what you mean in terms of circle jerk, but I am very certain that having a good support system of people that are also in various stages of recovery to interact with is an extremely important part of the process and not a circle jerk.

StinkyP00per

r/recoverywithoutaa is a great starting place for your friend. For me it was about resolving my cognitive dissonance towards alcohol. I knew it was bad for me and killing me but it was everywhere and everyone was doing it. Looking back I was a functioning alcoholic drinking two handles of Tito’s a week. I couldn’t subscribe to the AA mindset of I’m powerless and need these other fiddle fucks support. To each their own. It’s going to sound stupid but I downloaded “This Naked Mind” by Annie Grace on audible and a lot of the things she said just clicked. I stopped drinking by the end of the book. Allen Carr is another popular one. I still work in sales and entertain, I still go out with my friends while they order bottles at rooftops and I still have fun just minus the booze. Don’t miss it hence resolving the cognitive dissonance.

DAL FAs aren't unionized. Therefore they won't be going on strike. Perhaps that was an AA FA you overheard.

austin4529

FA’s cannot legally strike without government approval. DAL’s FAs are also not unionized, they just received pay raises and are in no negotiations that would lead to the government allowing them to strike. The only airline that is close to having their FA’s strike is AA. They have been in negotiations for years, and are waiting to be released into a 30 day cool down period then they can strike.

Poker player Howard Lederer once won with AA vs an offsuit crap hand. He remarked that he "got lucky" because he was an 87% favorite, but won 100% of the pot. His opponent had a bad beat, he should have returned 13%, but got nothing. Inexperienced poker players and traders have a sense of "should win" when their odds exceed 50%. If you plan on trading for years, and have thousands of trades ahead of you, it really doesn't matter. Buy/Sell what works best for your portfolio.

Runningman2319

If were talking general, for my generation yeah, especially growing up in california. We were pre online college and you were lucky to make 10 bucks an hour back in 2016 working at any place like a grocery or pharmacy without higher education (I was finishing my senior year of undergrad to boot). Take out taxes and yeesh. For us it made more financial sense to move out of home and into a college dorm and get a degree. 165k 6 years out of high school (I am assuming with nothing more than an AA degree)? Thats impressive, and you should be really proud of yourself, and I hope your determination continues to be fruitful! Its far easier today though to do that as well. For one, you almost have to live with parents as an adult until you cross the 80k a year mark because rent is so expensive. So that cuts living costs down a ton. Then add in the fact that its mind boggingly simple to make money online compared to even 3 years ago. For us, living at home was just something you couldnt do unless you literally couldnt go to college because you couldnt afford community college and your grades sucked in high school.

Nintendo takes a wildly different approach to gaming than publicly available Sony and Microsoft. Xbox is a smaller part of Microsoft's portfolio and it's hard to quantify their performance relative to the rest of the company. Similar story at Sony. This makes Nintendo the only pure gaming hardware company. I've had success with Nintendo as an investment in the past, about halfway through the switch life cycle. Microsoft has taken an investment approach where they purchase established studios and see what they can get out of them. That didn't work out too well for EA until very recently, so I doubt it'll show major returns for them. Sony has a lot of newer and non japanese talent that they've built from the ground up almost like start up investing. They have a formula that works for them. I say all that to compare to Nintendo, which takes a very different approach. Where Sony and Microsoft tend to compete on a raw output, Nintendo produces novelty. They have a talented pool of game developers they've curated over 40 years. They've recently disclosed their current strategy to mitigate rising development costs with smaller "AA" sized games. The problem with novelty hardware is you have no idea if it'll be a quick gimmick or massive hit. The Wii was genuinely revolutionary. The Wii U was a total flop. The Switch was revolutionary, what will the next console hold? It will be hard to say until it already happens. I wouldn't expect an official announcement of hardware to be too massive of a swing in either way. Ideally it'll be as easy as it is now for 3rd party developers to add it. Whether or not their next thing moves consoles is important and not a guarantee. More interesting I think is their pivot to smaller games.

Because AMC has never been the play. AA is fucking over his shareholders

MyNi_Redux

>Now if this company went completely tits up the total assets on AMCs balance sheet is $8.53 billion. AMC has $4.5 billion in debt leaving a $4billion difference between its debt and total assets This key part of your argument is quite incorrect. AMC has negative equity to the tune of 1.8B. Assets are 9B, liabilities are 10.8B. Since this is not an outfit which is profitable at the margins, and loses money with every ticket it sells, no one will pay a dime for negative equity with this business model. AMC was lucky with the price spike, and AA did the right thing, using it to pay down some of the debt. But with a shitty box office continuing, there is more pain before any positive move on the fundamental side. You may find some of my Posts on this topic with more information.

What will happen is they will provide those insiders under NDAs with a list of names that made a ton of money, like this guy. Those people would have to disclose if they recognize any names, relationships, etc to that list. If they lie they would be in trouble. Most investment banker are not going to risk their livelihoods over this. If that comes back with positives, then SEC will investigate further. If you want to read a good account how this happens, check out the recent AA baseball sting that caught a bunch of players for insider trading recently with the jack in the box / del taco investment

Starting in the 1970s, the federal government has decreased funding to schools. This has primarily been a function of republican administrations as they have tried to shift funding from public to private entities. The corresponding result is that the average increase in tuition has been about 5% per year for the past 20 years with substantial increases in individual debt loads for each borrower, and for each class of borrowers overall, for the past 30 years. Relative to the 1970s, after adjusting for inflation, the prices have sored. With respect to loans, this means that less is subsidized down by the Fed and require higher loan rates to keep up. The administration side has sored and so too has the effort to gain grant dollars to bridge that gap. If I get a 1m grant from NIH, my university charges 65% fee for their allowing me to do the study (called indirect grant funds). Below is a good article about how the impact of defunding has led to not only bad impacts on economics, but specifically on academic culture / research quality as well. [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691616687745](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691616687745) It's something like 50x more expensive after adjusting dollars since the 1970s and the price has tended to double ever 9 years as a result of the average expense increase. This forbes article is a good one - I no longer recommend students start at a 4 year college given costs and focus on an AA first to transfer in.

My home airport is DFW and AA has become an absolute shit show. Labor negotiations ongoing is what I’m currently blaming but I can’t tell you how many cancelled flights I’ve seen in neighboring terminals recently. “We have absolutely no remaining flights to NY or anywhere in the northeast today or tomorrow.” - 10:30 AM Looking through my Flighty App my AA flights this year are average delays of 1.5 hours. (Probably just my shit luck.) Flew United recently despite a layover in IAH and was pleasantly surprised with only a single 15 min delay out of the 4 segments. I may start sucking it up and dealing with layovers out of IAH/ATL on United/Delta instead….. P.s. DFW is a shitshow but CLT is a nightmare. Seriously, rent a car and just drive to another airport instead. I won’t go near CLT again.

DesignerSea494

Didn't I see you at my last AA meeting? Thanks for the advice. I'm good, just doing my part posting a loss-porn quickie for the group.

InflationParking9185

Yup. Same shit happened to us in Miami. They kept citing weather even though we all watched every other AA plane depart from the same gate without. Complained to customer service and all they could offer is a $21 voucher. That doesn’t even cover 1 checked bag. Fucking clowns.

theusername_is_taken

Only good thing about AA is to rack up easy bonus points on their credit cards and book…anything except AA lol. Thanks American Airlines I’ll take my business class flight on Qatar or Japan Airlines

orrpheus55

Had that happen to me as well in 2015. They held my incoming flight for 15 minutes on the tarmac, then moved the departure gate for my connecting flight 2 terminals away. And when I finally made it to the gate I was informed that the plane had already closed its doors about 4 minutes prior and that, in their estimation, I had *plenty* of time to make it to this gate - so they wouldn’t address my overnight accommodations. They then closed their kiosk and just left for the night. So I had to scramble to find a hotel, ground transportation, etc. and didn’t get settled until after midnight. The next day, I had to wake up early to make sure I made my connecting flight. But I’d already paid for a hotel room at my destination for a room I hadn’t used, had to pay for a hotel and ground transportation in Dallas, and no one at AA wanted to address it. Then, earlier this year, I was forced to use AA again and connect through DFW. As we landed at Dallas, our pilot came down hard and must have jostled something in the plane’s cabin air system because a fan caught fire and smoke started filling the cabin. After our fire department escort to the gate (which, surprisingly, we weren’t the only plane receiving one as another AA plane taxiing in front of us ALSO had one!), they brought in a maintenance team to address the smoke issue. Amazingly, they were preparing to immediately put the plane right back into service for a flight to Idaho Falls. So if I can avoid using AA, I’m avoiding using AA.

sniperdude24

An overbook AA flight got me a 650$ voucher which has paid for 2 more flights this year :). Their short term BS gave me free money.

AA stranded me last week in Dallas due to unloading congestion at he unloading dock the pilot stated on the overhead This cause several passengers including me to miss my connecting flight Im done with AA

AA is trash.. people complain a lot about Spirit and Frontier.. but holy shit, I've had a way worse experience on American.

votto4mvp

AA has cancellations or delays every time I fly with them, and they always find a way to blame it on weather and not provide meal vouchers, lodging for overnight cancellations, or any other make good. Fool me 36 times, shame on you AA. Fool me 37+ times, shame on me. Never again.

Lezlow247

I know you didn't blame AA in your post but weather delays are out of any airline controls. It can be clear skies and poor weather across the country and it'll mess everything up. Your plane might be coming from the affected area.

muffinhead2580

It's happening to American Airlines because they are close to the single worst airline in the US with only Spirit edging them out. About 15 years ago I moved to a new city from the Detroit Metro area where Delta was my airline and I have many millions of miles with. Anyway, I started flying other airlines that made the segments more friendly and direct. I took AA on 13 segments and of those segments they arrived on time once. They were successfully late on every other segment and one segment landed in the wrong airport. I told my assistant she was to never book me on AA ever again and that I would rather take Delta with multiple segments than a direct flight on AA.

goldpony13

This is great to hear as someone currently flying AA tomorrow…

tatersaladpie

It’s intentional overbooking the airport. They know how many planes an airport can accept at any given time based on available runways and conditions. AA wil always over schedule DFW in certain arrival banks every single day. 9 am, 5 pm, 7 pm, those are intentionally over scheduled so Atc has to delay things so the airport isn’t over fed. Same with departures, too many at the same time trying to get out.

Fuck AA, those assholes slammed boarding door in my face for an international flight after being 3.5 hours late with the connecting flight. The gate agents response was “not my problem you should have gotten here earlier”.

Same. They did that shit to me for like minor rain that any other city would have kept flying out of. I hate Dallas and I hate AA for stranding me, not giving me my luggage and making me pay for my own hotel

No airline hates their customers more than AA. Source: flew regionals for AA, fly for a competitor now.

AA has nearly double the debt to asset ratio of other airlines due to their share buybacks.

I wish they had direct flights from Boston to GSP. I thought I hated LA Guardia in NY, but after coming in last week, I will avoid CLT like the plague. To make matter worse, my plane in BOS was somehow overloaded with 5,000 lbs of fuel and I got my connected flight in CLT switched to a later flight. And this was all at 6:50am. AA is fucked.

I see these “Good for the stock price” comments but some of you need to go back and look at the history of the stock. AA has literally been on the decline for over a decade. They lost their ass in the Northeast to Delta. Delta and United have beat them in LAX. Alaska and Delta beat them in SEA. Congrats, they have powerhouses in MIA/DFW/CLT. All three places are plagued with bad weather and constant ATC delays. Their international flying is lacking. They’re basically a domestic career with some Europe, Asia and lots of Central America/South America. Their customer service is almost to the level of Spirit with the amount of disgruntled and burned out employees they have. The different work groups hate each other. Hell, the pilots hate each other. Legacy AA vs TWA vs US Air vs America West all hold grudges after their mergers. Inflight experience is basically nothing now. Same stale pretzels and horrible basic economy seats with no IFE installed anymore. AA just fired a top exec for screwing up and bleeding cash. This company is in shambles right now. The only thing good is apparently they’re paying off lots of their bad debt.

For a hub I would expect AA to beat the prices but most of the time they are expensive.

I flew AA two months ago and had zero issues

I read about a week ago, AA flight attendants were about to go on a strike
