AAL doesn't price their stock, investors do, and they already know. That's why it's already down -30%.
Nice write up, however I think this (and a lot of other prognosticating posts) miss a big factor, namely, the market is irrational and will look out as far as it needs to to avoid bad news. The thought right now is “this conflict will end, eventually”. It doesn’t matter if AAL has a few rough quarters due to fuel prices, people will buy the dips because they hang on to the word “eventually”. Most people don’t even look at discrepancies between forward estimates and economic facts that run counter, they just tune in briefly around earnings season, and then tune back out. Unless AAL starts grounding flights and using words like “indeterminate”, people just don’t care.
Ask AAL. They guided fuel prices at $4 in earnings a few days ago. Their competitors picked $4.30. That's a $325 million unexpected loss if Delta and United are right and AAL is wrong. That's basically the whole point.
$EPM $AAL needs to do something :(
By lower capital I mean some where around at least 10K. With 10K, u find leaps that are somewhere around 1.00 with decent volume preferably a well known and traded stock under $20 and trade the levels/bounces. A good example would be AAL leaps since the war based volatility has started.
I do enjoy finding a gem who got mentioned briefly on Bloomberg and after jotting down the name, I find something I like. I like patterns as well. I bought AAL and held it for 6 whole days over the past 2 weeks and made 27% quickly. Those are enjoyable as well. I wouldn't hold an airline stock long term, but I have traded American at least 6 times in the past 2 years.
The real question is who believes AAL is doing well? Their in major debt and institutional are hyping it up for the unload before the real drop. They dropped expectation for the upcoming quarter because jet fuel is going to be killing them and travel restrictions aren't lifting anytime soon
an hour ago I bought some puts on AAL expiring tomorrow that have inexplicably decided to make money. So I suspect it will rally tonight, my numbers rarely turn green like this. Guess I'll wait for it turn red again before I do anything
Sold AAL shares and Bought my ccl puts right before the dip. Am I a genius now?
AAL is determined to stay right in the middle of my strangle until expiration then huh. fuken hell
VM tell me about AAL post earnings
VM $AAL thoughts? Shit load of puts I think
forgive me but I don't see how a possible eNeRgY CrIsIs has to do with a country that has DEINDUSTRIALIZED and is an EXPORTER of oil AAL is going to zero, though, get your puts
UAL announces a hostile bid for AAL .2 shares of UAL for each share of AAL..../s everybody and their cousin are buying cheap AAL calls by the bucketful...
> increasing energy costs that they will probably hedge at a higher cost AAL is fucked that is for sure UAL ... unknown DAL owns their own refinery so they are the best bet... problem isn't only energy, it is a collapse of routes to consolidate half empty planes that will drive airfare higher which means lower sales .... not looking good for airlines even if oil dumps under $80
AAL and United having earnings this week. How is puts not in play on that?
I just buy AAL and XOM at the lows assuming Trump is lying all the time. I been right 3 out of 3 times so far and netted some modest gains.
Doesn’t matter, they’re both great buys even after the crazy 2 day spike, I have high hopes AAL will help me make my nut this year.
been DCA since it hit 399, in at 386. Recklessly large position lol. Jassy’s “not doing this on a hunch“ press release only made me more bullish on data center buildout in general. 475 seems realistic for 2026. That & nvda+ecosystem, meta & amzn, crwv/nbis/poet, & rebounds in saas (I’m barely even down there lol), cyber, home builders, AAL/UAL, & financials… should be enough to make my nut this year.
look at that beautiful AAL pump after hours
Profit/ chickened out. I picked 2 weaker airlines to trade against the oil price swings. JBLU and AAL seem to move quite a bit in either direction depending on what oil is doing. Building my confidence is going to be a big part I realized.
I’m going to the moon baby, and I’m flying AAL. Wait, wat?
Yeah terrible play, there probably won't be international travel by then end of the summer. Short UAL and AAL
This fear has actually been cited by airline mgmt as a reason to shy away from hedging. I think it was UAL’s CEO (maybe AAL?) who basically said the catastrophe scenarios they would hedge for might be worthless if the event actually materializes.
#TLDR --- **Ticker:** AAL, ULCC, AALG (with a side of TQQQ & SOXL) **Direction:** Up (Buying the dip) **Prognosis:** Scale into AAL and ULCC shares on weakness. If AAL drops to $9.98, sell it to leverage up into AALG (2x Daily AAL ETF) for the bounce. **Risk Management:** Setting aside exactly $10,125 for the "Reserve for mines + tanker sunk" scenario (Stage 5 of the spreadsheet). **Irony Level:** Extremely High. "Let's make some bread (safely)" while planning to pivot a $365k portfolio into 2x leveraged airline ETFs and triple-leveraged tech (TQQQ/SOXL) during an oil crisis.
If UAL or AAL going up a bit on open, imma buy some puts
Recently bought tons of UCO, BNO and VIX calls and tons of SPY, AAL and LUV puts. That’s your salvation. NFA.
I made a bit of money shorting AAL last week, lol.
I am confused by the airlines tbh. UAL and LUV have gotten gashed, DAL has taken a hit but recovered a lot of it, and AAL seems like a dead stock. I'm wondering if UAL might bounce similar to DAL or if DAL is looking at another leg down
SOFI has shady rep and the stock isn’t really cheap, they mostly are very promising companies that haven’t proven themselves yet. No AAPL, AMZN, MSFT? Or if GOOGL, AVGO, TSM get really cheap? XHB and AAL/UAL for a trade? Just maybe some companies that aren’t going anywhere.
Kinda high risk stuff there broski. These are large positions😬?? My polite suggestions: I personally think the smart risk currently is housing (XHB), airlines (UAL, AAL) but the real juice is Microsoft(!!!!) & top tier enterprise software (NOW, VEEV, CRM). Software generally is dirt cheap so cyber like PANW & CRWD. And video games, they’re software too, so TTWO. NVDA, META, AMZN getting too cheap. Software, housing, airlines for a trade only. Hold core positions in NVDA, AMZN, 1/2 position in META. Hope google, avgo, tsm aapl crash so u can load up.
Today MSFT. Last week a lot of sub $11 AAL Thinking that I might just start setting myself up to buy more MSFT and some MU through end of this year as my hedge against the fear that people are showing for stocks trading around the AI revolution underway
This is a much more dire situation than tariff last year, but things are getting too cheap. MSFT/enterprise software is the best risk/reward imo, but NVDA & META are cheap. AMZN very close. Google is the future but just head & sholdered. AAL/UAL close too. Wish AVGO & TSM would drop more.
I spite reupped on AAL puts; they printed this time.
AAL is fucking $10, this timeline is cooked 🤡
Why do airlines not provide their own security? Why is this a tax payer issue? Puts on AAL
I bought some AAL right before, like seconds. Sold a minute later for $480 profit. I was just in the process of buying much more, but didn't get the chance unforts
Very few airlines are hedged anymore but they are offsetting this by charging increase ticket prices. I don’t know how well this is going to pay off long term. My guess is that you are short either JBLU or AAL. You got to realize that LUV,DAL,UAL cant fall that much further because that’s covid level territory
Same, I was honestly pumped when I saw the huge shrek dick SPY pre-market bullshit manipulation candle this morning, puts nice and cheap. Also bought 6/18 AAL 5$ puts. They don’t hedge against oil prices anymore.
Seems to be working great. Meanwhile my AAL and Carnival calls are cooking.
I bought an 8 dollar leap on AAL and a 10 and 15 leap on SOFI expiration 6/28
Puts on UAL/AAL/DAL/LUV, it's gonna take like 2 weeks tops before ICE shoots somebody at an airport
Lmao you are so ignorant. Hedging is insanely expensive. No major US airline still hedges oil. Same with cruise lines. Hedging is a dying strategy. Requires an insane amount of niche resources to manage a hedging program and the accounting for them is horrendous. If this is prolonged you will see Spirt disappear, JetBlue beg for a merger with UAL, AAL + frontier and probably Allegiant will try and take on debt to ride it out and it will sink them as airlines will never have enough profit to overcome outsized debt hurdles. UAL, Delta, and kind of southwest are the only ones with a strong enough balance sheet to endure and the endurance will be temporary. Then it will lead to massive consolidation of US resources which usually means consumers get screwed. UAL is kind of feigning confidence here. Everyone in the industry is currently petrified.
AAL did recently fire their CFO if I remember correctly
If that's true or becomes prolonged rather than short lived then AAL is going to get drilled into oblivion. I remember their retard CEO bragging about how they saved money by not hedging oil. [https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-airlines-no-longer-hedge-fuel-costs-that-could-hurt-margins-if-iran-conflict-2026-03-06/](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-airlines-no-longer-hedge-fuel-costs-that-could-hurt-margins-if-iran-conflict-2026-03-06/)
Shares. I only do shares, but I don't mess around either. Let's see, in no order: ELF, MU, ALAB, SHOP, AAL, AMZN, DG, CLF, NVDA, AAPL
Trying to wheel AAL, SOFI in a small margin account but also ended up with some shares of a couple of Canuck companies.😀Bigger accounts are longer term shares and CCs. But my gold ETFs are bleeding.
I’m buying leaps right now on AAL, SOFI and APLD.
Anyone else doing AAL puts with me?
+29% today on my AAL puts, lol.
Thanks AAL, my puts hath returneth.
I'm short AAL and having a perfectly reasonable day today. Not loads of fun, but I'm not stressed out.
AAL tank you fucking wench. I don't even need you to tank that hard. Fack.
bought some AAL, NOW, MSTR, and NVDA
I'm really dangling my nuts above the void holding AAL and selling calls on it right now.
AAL is almost in the perfect spot to buy in.
My AAL calls were up over 100% a week ago, they dead now tho.
Why would you expect flows to tell you what to do outside of being an indicator of the flow and give you additional info. I use it for long and short ports, this past year am up on AAPL, Xene, AAL, pretty hard to lose a lot but pretty easy to get a few weekly or quarterly lottos that seem to work out, at least for some
UAL is eating AAL alive
Out of all US airlines Delta is the most insulated from oil spikes they own a refinery. If your shorting look for unhedged airlines like American AAL though that trades going to be crowded now.
you’re entitled to your own opinion, but if you want to make some money off this conflict buy calls on on domestic lng/oil producers, fertilizer producers, defense contractors, and buy puts on airlines and TSMC. i’ve got AAL puts that are printing rn
saw this coming last week and bought puts on AAL, which will literally go bankrupt if oil prices stay elevated. frontline is also a good buy since they’ll be able to charge a shit ton for taking longer routes
I bought AAL puts last week. When oil is 150 per barrel I won’t even have to worry about increases at the pump.
I'm planning to buy some AAL when the 'war' is 'over'
AAL puts are free money if you believe the conflict will drag out for 3-4+ weeks. They don’t hedge their oil contracts thus pay SPOT price. Could legit hit $8 if oil keeps going up.
AAL puts after fake gap up
Airlines are fukt. AAL, JBLU, UAL
i sold those on friday at 50% upside i still hold 3/20 $57.5 and 4/17 $52.5, and $55 strikes. might drop the 3/20s and goo deep in some AAL puts seems to be where Wall street is swimming
AAL puts, RHI puts, PSKY to the Moon MORE ON THAT LATER. OXY Calls, NCLH Puts DHT CALLS TO THE MOON
My AAL calls got hammered Friday, between that & the pizza index, I should have seen this coming.
So from my very limit knowledge I say calls on XOM,CVX and OXY cuz u know high oil price = higher profit for oil companies and puts on DAL,AAL,UAL and LUV cuz u know high oil prices = big loss on airlines cuz u know they need fuel to fly
I did AAL call, but not enough volume aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Good Lord. In that same time frame, AAL is down like 75%. That'd be rough
Assignment is not an exact science. Having extrinsic a bit off gives anyways a sense of what is the likelihood to be assigned. OP is worried about AAL put with ATM strike, which doesn't even need to be checked on the chain. When the call bid is lower than 0.10 you can start worrying, but having the extrinsic column does not hurt.
had a big won yesterday on AAL put. you guys can handle a friday.

Call me crazy, but scooped some AAL leaps here
$AAL is a truly impressive stock, they have demonstrated extreme resilience by refusing to recover from Covid for this long.
I don’t know how you come out of this situation, but I know what it’s like to be a gambler. I had nowhere near the credit to obtain 80k but over the last 10 years I have amassed more than 10k debt from trying to “flip” options which is just a losing gambling game. The best flip I had was my last 50 turned to 5k on AAL call options during the pandemic recovery. I then flipped that to 12k over an AAPL call play. I then started venturing into TSLA calls and got emotional and it turned into your exact same trade. (Lost it all). All while I was doing this, I told myself I would really love to leave the “casino” take these profits and learn how to just trade basic stocks. I got too greedy and now I’m back to learning stocks. I see you’re learning too. The fact that you said, “Alright let’s try 100 shares this time instead, shows recovery. I even downgraded my account to remove options privileges. Options will NOT be our downfall in 2026. I pray for your recovery brother.
I would too AAL is a good stonk to hold but not epic moves yet...but a potential upside of about 24%. I see that happening
BA is a really good play too. I'm still extremely bullish on AAL though
Government forces all employees to book their flights through American. AAL is going to triple in the next 3 years. Calls are basically free money.
No one believed me, but buying AAL leaps after the earnings dump is going to pay off. Huge upside in this market.
What the fuck happened today did we go to war? AAL swung up and down 5% in like two hours.
