				            | Dude, I wonder if I have the guts for investing in airlines again: http://www.slate.com/id/2199761/ Probably be another few days or couple weeks before the stock price fully recovers.

				            | Well, unfortunately, because there are so many people in this city trying to break in to the business.  And some of them are, unfortunately for us, from wealthy families or of independent-enough means that they can afford to do the deferred pay thing.  It doesn't mean it's not possible to break in without it, but it does make it a challenge for all of us! |

 There was literally just a few-minute window where you could have purchased the stock at around $3 before NASDAQ halted trading and then it shot back up again. The guy in the linked article only had a loss on paper of $16,000 for a few minutes. | |
