I owned a 13k of FMC. It dived like 75% in a few weeks. Fuck fertilizers. I only eat organic now.
WHat is gold and silver telling u abt today's FMC minute hmmmmmmmm
Run, do not stop!! 4 Pillars of ivesting: Entry - when to buy stock Risk Mg't (protect capital - stop losses)0 Profit taking strategy - don't watch profits evaporate Exit Plan - highest you think stock will go, take $ then reinvest elsewhere Motley Fool - buy hold do not sell no matter what - dividend cut, corp illegal activity, competition instead watch asset like FMC or UPST drop 90% and still issue buys. 5 year graphs - good companies stay good what a crock of crap GE bad then $4500 invest 3 years later $60,000 INTEL 60 - 17 stayed at 20 range now $100+
"Just go into the trades" only works if your plan is to start your own trade business. While some mechanics are paid well, most are paid shit wages due to job rates compensation structure. The mechanics who start their own shops, is where it pays off. Most dealerships and even medium size shops, work their mechanics into the ground though and wage theft from them with job rate pay structure. And the mechanic has 0 say in what jobs they get. Ford has a big recall and the repair job pays 2 hrs by FMC but takes actually 4 hrs? Too bad, it means the mechanic will get paid for only 4 hrs of work for a 8 hrs day and there's nothing they can do about it. In some cases, it comes out to less than minimum wage. And on top of that, you are responsible for purchasing and maintaining all of your tools. Becoming a fully licensed electrician that makes "the big bucks", takes the same if not more years than getting a college degree (and most don't make the "big bucks"). Where becoming an electrician pays off, is starting your own independent electrician company and not being a time clock puncher for another company. Residential HVAC and plumbing is basically a gutter and I would avoid. I do recommend commercial HVAC and refrigeration though. I will highly recommend going into the trades only with a caveat - joining a trade union where your labor rights are fully protected. You get a good hourly wage, proper OT, full medical/dental (including in retirement), disability insurance, vacation/sick time, pension/retirement, and many other things. And you get to retire at 55 in the trade unions in this area as long as you have at least 10 yrs in. And yes you can be a mechanic and be in a union. Municipal government and transit authority repair depots mechanics are union. And the post office also has union mechanics for maintaining the postal truck fleets, along with union field workers who do repairs in post offices
Meanwhile US fertilizer is way way way down. Fuck FMC.
Motley Fool has been around a long time, but their results have NEVER been audited. They can say anything they want to. I want to see their average results of their 200+ buy rating stocks. What the standard deviation (it has to be large with a NVDA along with 90% losses of FMC and UPST) I love to see the avg for top 25, bottom 25, mean 25, mode 25, bottom and top outliers removed, z scores, etc. Let Ernst & Young, KPMG or some other firm audit them. Motley Fool; the check is in the mail, I won't 1(&\^ in your mouth. What is INSANE with Motley Fool is lack of risk management: buy and hold blind is asinine. If you're holding a new industry like quantum ok that is going to be a wild ride but a blue-chip? There are only so many buy and hold blind stocks. I call them HUSSAH: my acronym for Hold Unless Something Stupid Asshole Happens. Apple, Microsoft, Walmart, Amazon, Taiwan Semiconductor, Costco, Google: that is it. Coming close is IBM, ASML. AVGO, MA, META, V That is it holding anything else blind: YOU ARE A FOOL!!! Before getting thrown off and refunded my money for punching holes in Fool principles (they called me too disruptive, so I was silenced and refunded my money). Fool is like a religious cult: it could be as DARK as Jonestown under Jim Jones in the late 1970;s if you're unlucky to hold the right Fool picks. **The rear-view mirror - 5-year graphs**, good companies stay good companies. I posted I was buying INTEL at $19 last year. About 30 "Mario Gabelli's" posted 5-year graphs. "Look. look past performance is indicative of future performance." This is ignorance and being brainwashed by Fool theories. Geopolitical, new management. etc. things change: shit happens good and bad. **Rigid long‑term holding rules**, **overreliance on growth narratives**, **no risk‑management framework**, and **a business model that rewards optimism over accuracy**. # Rigid “hold for 5+ years” doctrine Motley Fool explicitly instructs investors to hold every pick for **at least five years**, regardless of market conditions or price structure. This eliminates tactical exits. It forces investors to ride catastrophic drawdowns. It treats all stocks as if they follow the same growth trajectory. I can list a lot of the following examples and this creates DEAD MONEY, dollars wasted that could have been saved and used somewhere else. FMC: $110 and 6 months later $12, DIS $100 covid rides to $250 after covid down to $70's (I bought at $110 with a 20% stop loss so when DIS fell my Stop was triggered at $198, 4 years later Disney $106. 04/2022 AT&T is at $35 and cuts its dividend in half, I sold that day at $34+, today T is at $25, UPST buy at $320and ride it down to $40. # No risk management — ever Their doctrine includes **no stop‑losses, no trimming, no exit strategies**, and no mechanism for acknowledging a broken thesis. User reviews repeatedly highlight this as a cause of large losses, especially during COVID‑era volatility, where subscribers report losing **\~50%** following Fool picks. This is not an accident — it’s baked into the system. I call it FOOL ZOMBIE HOARD - buy, hold 5 years no matter what, look at the 5-year graph as good companies stay good companies and bad stay bad, ride a company down to the depths off Tartarus (FMC -89.5% loss so you need a moon shot of 900% to break even).
Never forget they called buy ratings on FMC in the low $100's and now it is $14 for 85% dropor UPST at $320 and now it is $28 a 90% drop, DIS a perpetual buy but done nothing in a decade. 2 things you must know before a stock purchase: an exit to take profits and an exit if the stock drops. It's buy and hold 5 years is asinine to be nice. It gives you the above results.
YES, FOOL is for fools. No risk management that's asinine watching a blue-chip like FMC go from $112 to $12 with buy, hold no matter what. Now you need 933% run to break even. Profit taking exit strategy: none, Buy QQQ, IVV, VUG, etc. ETF's
My worst ever trade was a longterm hold on a “value” investment I did DD on from that sub. Down more than the putative price of medications in the US (-1000%; FMC.)
FMC. Someone cold-called me and told me they were from the future and said it was going back to $60 then hung up. So I have it as 5% of my portfolio. So far up 15%. I believe in time-travel now.

Is FMC just going to die, its off so far from its highs and even from pre covid prices. 👀
Unlike the others here, I see things differently. I think making $150k a year from a $250k deposit is doable. However, there are three major "buts": 1. If it can rip $150k to the upside, it can tank $150k to the downside. For a rookie, seeing your portfolio drop by $10k or $20k in a day can be gut-wrenching. You need a stomach of steel. 2. We have zero control over the market. You can't guarantee a black swan won't hit. Look at FMC Corporation: it crashed 42% in one day. Who could have predicted that a drought in Brazil would stop Latin American distributors from buying inventory, crushing revenue and forcing a dividend cut? 3. The stock market is essentially a sophisticated machine for transferring wealth away from dumb people. You need an edge over the herd to make money consistently.
FMC. Big Agriculture bail out coming one of these days.
FMC is getting scooped up by members of congress and insiders. Negotiations with India on these tariffs must be going well…
Amateur trading. When I was day trading back in 1999, I "lost" $89,000 in less than 3 hours. Bad news on a stock I was trading. Held on until it recovered and sold it, then moved on. Had one internet stock go from $69 share to .02 cents. Lost $70k on it. Nothing compares to the dude I knew who had everything in one stock. The stock lost 93% of it's value in one day. He lost 4 million on paper and owed TD Ameritrade over 1 million in cash. I've been trading the metals futures much longer than stocks. I know a few people who have lost millions trading futures. Ford Motor Company though they were going to be "smart" and buy platinum futures, so they could lock in a price and not pay a huge amount for platinum. At the time platinum was soaring up in price. Yes. FMC was real smart. They lost one billion in cash trading platinum futures.
Most of what you listed is simply factually wrong. SLB has actually been gaining international market share, including taking share from Halliburton in Asia and the Middle East, and they’re winning roughly 70–80% of new offshore tenders globally. SLB never acquired FMC. That’s just incorrect. Smith was acquired in 2010, nowhere near any ‘peak valuation.’ And every major acquisition they’ve made in the past decade, including ChampionX, has been viewed positively by analysts. They acquired champion this year, in the middle of a downturn, way off of their peak valuation. At this point it feels like you’re mixing up companies or just throwing out names, but it’s clear you don’t understand the basics and probably shouldn’t be giving financial advice on Reddit
Slb acquired MI, FMC, SMITH, CHAMPIONX, all at peak valuation and has been writing down on goodwill ever since. SLB Sold their US frac business to LIBERTY to go asset light but since that sale liberty has gone up nearly 80% and added to their top and bottom line. SLB has incompetent management and decision makers.
So you're the one who bought FMC last month
FMC has been on a 52% down trend, I think it’s got room for a reversal to the upside today.
Companies that predominantly supply the personal care and pharmaceutical industry rarely get caught up in the down turn. ASH has been rationalizing business getting out of the low end segments supplied by China. FMC is heavily in agricultural, food and construction - they do supply pharmaceuticals with excipients but they are lower-end additives (alginates and modified cellulose) more suited toward generics - then add in Lithium is at historical lows. It price action does not surprise me.
DOW is the chemical companies' chemical company. It's difficult to see how specialty chemicals will avoid the market's wrath if a company like DOW continues on a downward trajectory. FMC's recent prices movement shows the specialty chemical companies aren't insulated from potential recessionary pressures in the sector and broader economy.
The chart just like my Nov.21 2025 FMC $37.5 call option. Lost $9k I tried to sell at $0.02 no takers :(

GIS, KHC, KMB, PG, DEO, BF.B, LYB, FMC, BMY to name a few. Obviously the story for these are not rosy like AI that's why they trade at these valuations.
Thoughts on FMC? I like MRK and NOVO. I'm worried that LULU is sacrificing quality for margin growth, which consumers will notice and then switch away to a competitor. Maybe their expansion plans will overcome this issue, but it seems like the first hole in their boat. Hopefully, they repair that before it causes bigger issues.
That strategy works very well I do same thing on ROOT CRI RKT FMC if stock goes down sell lower strike puts on same exp if assigned can sell cc does well on good stocks at lows.
Corteva or FMC. Growing populations. People need food. More of a demand that farmers produce good yields on their crops.
The domestic producers like FMC can and will increase their prices to almost match the price of imports. They already run at or near capacity, you cannot ramp up US production significantly in a short time frame, and why would you invest when you can be simply be more profitable. Lesson learned from the oil industry. Fun fact: There's also two kinds of coppers, one is like ore and one is final product and often processing crosses borders. This massive tariff really fucks up US businesses, especially all things energy grid but also car makers, even construction. Maybe aluminium wiring makes a comeback, but 🍊🤡 tariffs that as well. Still cheaper than copper. /S
Here’s an out of ordinary name but FMC. I will provide a why edit later.

FMC added 13 million shares to bring their total to 23 million shares. That was mega bullish. I made a huge purchase when I saw that buy in late December.
And to you good sir. Easy money on that one, strong earnings, weaker guidance but that’s bees nuts, huge overreaction yesterday. Also in on FMC for the same thing
Removed STZ and FMC. Added ETN, HOOD, and MNDY
in the loosers list, it's at the bottom - which actually means it hasn't lost much. Any thoughts on FMC, EIX, AES, BF-B? We don't hear about these much.
Don't know what FMC does but damn -35%
Da fuq on FMC? Over reaction or are I fucked?
FMC more like FML 
I couldn’t find these stocks on Robinhood but I found FMC. Not sure what they do but it does go up and down on a regular basis. So I bought 5 12/20 62.50 calls. https://preview.redd.it/9k87x7z4aa3e1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf234dee09bbb6df0db8f1effa05bb10d09f69f2
Is SAVE one of the trades you have been making. FMC is a pressured play where fundamentals form the back-stop of the CSP and long call positions that I am making.
That's just (my understanding of) how balancing works for index tracked funds. There isn't as much "asset managing" in deciding. XAR just tracks the index's constituents 1 for 1 (if it had more leeway in choosing, you would be paying a higher management fee). Money market funds will no longer be as lucrative to hide capital in, so it wouldn't make sense for them to keep it instead of deploying. The balancing test goes like this: S&P Select Industry Indices. At each quarterly rebalancing, initially equal weight constituents with adjustments to ensure that, for a given theoretical portfolio value (TPV), each constituent’s index weight cannot exceed 4.5% of the FMC and the value that can be traded in three days. No stock in the index can have a weight greater than 4.5%. TPVs are reviewed annually in September, incorporating index-linked exchange traded product assets under management (AUM) using the below process: Each constituent’s initial equal weight is compared to the calculated maximum constituent weight, and the constituent’s weight is set to the lesser of the maximum constituent weight or the initial equal weight. If the resulting index weights do not sum to 100%, iteratively redistribute any excess weights to the uncapped constituents. Secondary Reweighting. If, on the third to last business day of March, June, September, or December, the aggregate weight of companies with index weights greater than 4.8% exceeds 50%, index weights reset to the previously determined weights using the data from that quarter's reference date. If a secondary reweighting is triggered, and existing constituent(s) were dropped since the prior quarterly rebalancing, the secondary reweighting re-runs the reweighting process using the same data from the latest quarterly rebalancing.

You can do it, but I would make a couple of changes. The first thing to do is decide how much of your margin is an acceptable risk. This is a personal decision. I have a fairly large account as well and I am generally willing to use up to 10% for selling puts. Keep in mind that you also need to consider the sector of the put you’re selling compared to the diversity of your portfolio. If you have a tech heavy portfolio, and you sell puts on nvda that equals 10% of your current portfolio, be mindful of the fact that if nvda does get low enough to be assigned, well chances are that the rest of your portfolio has also likely taken a big dive as well, and at that point the margin taken up by the assigned shares is going to be much larger than the original 10% goal that you were shooting for. The larger the account, the more important it becomes to stay diversified. The other aspect is that if I’m going to risk margin, I need to be paid for it, and $100 doesn’t move the needle in your case. I’m looking for 2% minimum return on a monthly basis. However in this case, the risk of holding through earnings outweighs the benefit of a strike that pays 2% in this case, for me at least. The stocks that I will sell puts on are generally either: a stock that I want to own but feel like it’s currently more than I want to pay, or to add to a long position and lower it’s cost basis. For example I own 100 shares of FMC that I paid $61 for, and it drifts down to $53. I may sell a put at the $50 strike. If I get assigned, my total cost basis is lower, if not then I collect the premium. The last thing I do is spread this out over several stocks, usually four or five, and try to keep them in different sectors as much as possible. When a put goes in the money, first thing I do is determine if it’s the stock that is causing the downturn or the market. If it’s because of bad news on the stock that changes my outlook, I’ll close out the position and take the loss. If it’s the market, then I’ll wait until there is as little extrinsic value as possible, and roll it for another month. You can usually get a decent credit at the same strike, but you might be able to roll to a lower strike and break even. I decide case by case. A couple of times I’ve been in a situation where I sold a put for say, $2, and come expiration day the stock is barely in the money, for this example let’s say $.50. In this case I’ll usually let it get assigned since I still make $1.50 profit if I were to turn around and sell it, but not before looking at the next month’s premium. Monitor the position closely when it goes itm. The only time I’ve ever been assigned is when I chose to let it happen, or I was assigned early because the extrinsic value disappeared prior to expiration, and I wasn’t around to catch it. Even with all that it’s been a profitable strategy for me.
I wanted to join this one but regret to inform you that you are in fact, completely regarded. Your thesis on the XAR ETF being forced to buy more at next rebalancing is completely wrong XAR is \*not\* an equal-weighted index. The weights are limited by liquidity and market cap. Quote: >At each quarterly rebalancing, initially equal weight constituents with adjustments to ensure that, for a given theoretical portfolio value (TV), each constituent's index weight cannot exceed 4.5% of the FMC and the value that can be traded in three days.

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
I believe FMC is the opportunity of a lifetime. I am cost averaging and am now under $65
After some research, I've narrowed my prediction down to: PLTR, KKR, OC, BLD are my main candidates to be added. PARA, QRVO, FMC, VFC are candidates for removal.
I like this kind of forward thinking investing. I own a small position about 200 shares and was thinking of buying some more in LSB industries ticker is LXU. They’re much smaller than FMC and BAYER but thought I’d share.
I’m a user of FMC products. The one product I use, Segway, is now easily accessible as a generic. Patten must have been up. The rest of their products are not great. Don’t know if there is a correlation. Just my opinion as a consumer.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fmc-corporation-optibrium-collaboration-aims-113000407.html FMC is a top "value investing pick by some Morningstar contributor/analyst (David Sekera)
I should disclose I almost never do CSP’s. If I want to do a put I’ll use a bull or bear put spread. I try to avoid earnings. For traders that are working with a small account my strategies may not be the best use of their time as it won’t generate the 2x+ returns a lot of options traders want. I’m trying to enhance a portfolio’s return by using options on 10% of my portfolio. If I was just starting out (and had already learned the hard lessons) I would be focused on low capital/high probability returns using spreads or calls. My favored tickers Change from week to week. This week: Albermarle -ALB IV 41% FMC. - IV 76% Crispr Therapeutics - CRSP IV 103% I start with a list of undervalued names collected from several sources. Then I narrow them down for implied volatility that looks rewarding. Usually end up with 8-12 tickers. Then high level research each ticker and score them based on discount to valuation, earnings dates, options depth (spread), intrinsic/extrinsic potential (Prefer OTM in rising markets, ATM in neutral and ITM in slightly bearish markets). Once I have a short list (usually 2 or 3) I spend a ridiculously inordinate amount of time reading analyst reports, 10-Qs, comparing them against competitors, running news scans and attempting to gain a perspective on the short and long term. I also look at momentum for grins. My preference is OTM covered calls on stocks that are moving up to try and capture both an increase in the underlying and the premium. I can usually get 2 or 3 round trips on a ticker before the situation or the volatility changes and it’s time to move on. I’m like you though, if it isn’t something I am comfortable about owning outright I get wary. This strategy isn’t perfect and occasionally I do end up trying to be comfortable with owning the stock 😃 I also look for anomalies in the option prices that seem to occasionally crop up in stocks that don’t have good options depth and the market makes have left to algorithmic pricing. These are usually <$10 stocks and the mispricing is fleeting. As an example LAAC, a lithium mining company trades around $5. A quantitative DCF rates it a screaming undervalued buy, what little analyst coverage there is target ranges from $5.60 to $29. It only has 2.50/5.00/7.50 monthly strikes. When the dte is roughly 30 the options tend to run in the 0.12-0.25 premium range. When it goes OTM it can be an attractive 5%-7% return. When it is ITM it seems to drop to the 3% return (all <31 DTE). The quotes seem to violate the BS pricing model. I’ve talked about this with an industry insider and he said it’s because the thin market in options leaves the market makers required to cover the stock no choice and the high frequency guys won’t trade it. So the MM has no real choice but to run it using algorithmic pricing. Or simply put it isn’t worth their time to manually control it. I will say these situations appear and then disappear, when it shows up in a scan I look deeper but half the time discard it. But that said I did a couple of round trips on LAAC picking up 5% premium plus another 4% intrinsic gain. And now the pricing has gone rational.
Why not just short the agriculture industry, INGR, FMC, AGCO, TTC, MOS, BG, CF, LW to name a few. One big question is wether the cicada brood has been priced in since they are known for destroying agriculture alongside them being annoying fucks.
I’d suggest Taylor Devices, Palomar Holdings, AppLovin, Modine, Vertiv, Vistra, GigaCloud Technology, Rolls Royce, Viking Therapeutics, Eastern Company, Dream Finders Homes, Technip FMC, Southern Copper, Sweetgreen, Grupo Supervielle, MakeMyTrip, Reliance Inc., ASE Technology, Advanced Drainage Systems, Merus, Hut 8 Corp, NRG Energy, Greenbrier, Atmus Filtration, Central Puerto, Federal Signal, Korro Bio, Vulcan, The Carlyle Group, Interface, these stocks are have done very good in the last 12 months.
Vertiv, Palomar Holdings, Vistra, GigaCloud Technology, Modine, Rolls Royce, Viking Therapeutics, Eastern Company, AppLovin, Dream Finders Homes, Taylor Devices, Technip FMC, Southern Copper, Lufax Holding Ltd., ELF, Biohaven, Symbotic, and Hut 8 are all great momentum stocks for beginners…
S&P 500 rebalance announcement is tomorrow after market close. I think most likely additions are KRR, PLTR, WDAY, ARES, DECK. And most likely for deletion are WHR, VFC, FMC, MHK, PARA, CHRW. Criteria for addition is sum of prior 4 quarters of GAAP earnings must be positive and the stock must be in the 85th percentile of the S&P 1500
[FMC is planning to lay off 8% of its global workforce by EOY 2024.](https://www.tipranks.com/news/the-fly/fmc-corporation-expecting-pre-tax-restructuring-charges-of-180m-215m) Ag stocks are often cyclical, but FMC is lagging behind its competition.
Prior to a public layoff in Brazil, FMC was already concealing layoffs in its North America and APAC regions. The patents for the actives that comprise 40% of FMC’s revenue are set to expire in the next 2-3 years, with IP courts in Latin America, Europe, and Asia having ruled against FMC’s requests for patent extension. I have a few colleagues that came to my company from FMC. The consensus is that the company is painfully “behind on the times” and deeply in need of a shakeup in the c-suite.
I am now doing a DD for stock AVT-B. They make different products for aviation. See below Optimized weather uplink service to the FMC, enhancing the accuracy and automation of the internal flight computer, resulting in direct fuel savings and improved on-time performance. Is anybody here invested in AVT-B ?
I knew several data scientists that worked at FMC and ran away to other jobs. Word is the place is stuck behind the times. Upper management is too dumb and resistant to change to be disruptive or innovative. This company is a dying horse that would need a major leadership shakeup to get back on track.
FMC has relegated itself to niche ag player since it’s 80s heyday. It used to keep a ton of cash on hand to avoid being acquired. But debt works too. It makes top dollar equipment for the construction industry in the form of Linkbelt and for DOD in the form of Bradleys. So yes they are impacted by Ukraine just not the way you originally thought. Several Bradley’s went east this year. FMC also has a literal gold mine.
It really depends how much you care about eventually ending up with 0. I am going to go for 2 alternative recommendations Recommendation number 1 I think fractional.optioms are something to consider. I would offer something that tries to keep around some capital but accelerates significantly in case a directional bet helps you. 1) 90% deep in the money call on equal weight SP500 ETF (12 to 24 months put) 2) 10% on a short term overlooked name (I would offer FMC as something with potential) i.e. a call for a 10% appreciation 3months out. Recommendation Nr 2 Only directional bets can lose Again look for fractional options Split your 1000$ in 5 200$ directional bets buying put or calls on a 3-6 months timeline all with a 10% move target. I.e. a name in oil a name in electric energy, a name in pharma, a name in tech (the likes of pager duty) and say a consumer brand like NKE
If FMC bounces I’ll buy more puts.
$FMC down 8% after earnings a company literally named fuck my calls
FMC has been eliminating positions due to “financial considerations” for months. They are trying their very best to keep news of layoffs from the outside public, but most current employees are scared. The patents that are set to expire make up 40% of the company’s revenue, and FMC has been reduced to begging patent courts to delay the inevitable.
Thoughts on Monday’s FMC earnings?
Silicon Valley. They used to do big business selling APC under FMC locally. Now is sophisticated system development I think.
Guy I don’t care about your seeking alpha article. Only $69billion of their $140bn is FMC. Gtfo,
Time to start scooping up recession Stonks: Consumer Staples: $KVUE $PEP $ULTA Materials: $FMC Energy: $DUK
During the gold rush, most money was made selling pickaxes. So you could also look at the 3rd party service providers, ie Halliburton, FMC, Schlumberger etc.
Threw $5k on Citi shares, and $3.5k on FMC shares
Recession is inevitable if Ukraine keeps attacking Russia on their soil. We really may have a leg down. Buying shit like Campbell PM Coors, even weapon and armor companies like Lockheed and FMC seem like a legit bet. Wtf are we doing with Gush is my question. Big demand coming in between war and daily commuters summer travels here at home, they won’t be flying. So airliners May fall for a bit again. I’m bearish on Delta and American. Fucking praying war doesn’t escalate.
