..........dont think I'd touch AIR even at $1.50 ATM ........... (cant believe it'd still HOVERING around 2buks TBH)
Ex dividend on Thursday, just wait.
I think this might have a wee rest around the $1.70-$1.80 mark for a couple of weeks after the dividend. After that as the sheer brutality of the way demand is falling off the face of a cliff becomes even more readily apparent it will resume its downward trajectory. Happy to stay short for the foreseeable future. There's a very real chance this ends in tears and another Govt bailout.
A fly in the ointment for short sellers will be when competitors announce they are withdrawing NZ longhaul services and AIR picks up those customers and then returns to a monopoly on those routes. I believe that will dampen the blow somewhat, although a blow it will still be to the SP.
QAN down 6.4% already as I type, AIR after guidance withdrawal down just 2.4%...ask yourself which is the more rational response.
hong kong airlines is asking air china to bail it out today otherwise bust
QAN now down ~ 10%, Australian market crashing, down 5.3% and its only been open for less than an hour :eek2:
