down from what looked like a high of $8 this year...Buy or not? Might be worth buying a couple thousand shares? What you folks think?

Hell no. 
They don't even have enough money to pay back their debt. What makes you think there's any equity left?

I hope you jumped on this on Tuesday as I did.
Stock is up 46% to 38 cents/share. Made 4600 on a 10K investment in three days thanks to your post.

I am going to put another few thousand in AMR this morning as soon as trading opens. I have no idea what I'm doing, at least when it comes to "fundamentals," as I've stated before, but I've done pretty well with whatever unwritten algorithm I've come up with in my mind.
The stock market and meteorology are very similar. I seem to do well at both, for the most part. And I've found, with most things, the deeper one gets in jargon, the more the person using the jargon is saying he doesn't understand whatever he's describing. It's like that in philosophy, meteorology, molecular biology, theology, and the stock market. Jargon becomes our language when we don't know what we want to say or how to say it. I admit to being ignorant, so I try not to use jargon. Ships ahoy and happy flying, American. I hope if you decide to invest in American you do so for good reasons, not because of what I've said, and I hope whatever you do, you make a nice profit and use that profit to make the world better.
Good morning, Money Talk.

Airlines are a great way to lose a ton of money for the opportunity to make meager returns.
I made a profit off of Republic last year (RJet) before the Frontier purchase had a chance to drag them down. I bought it right after they posted a loss due to one time write-offs related to the merger, and sold it right after the Summer earnings came out. (Summer is typically a boon for airlines, winter they can lose a lot of money due to weather cancellations)
Playing the airlines is betting on the cycle. AMR at .26, if you don't mind holding it for a year + can be a good play. The CH. 11 will allow them to renegotiate their very disadvantagous labor contracts. The key is for them to be able to spin off American Eagle and start replacing their fuel guzzling Super 80s (MD-82/3) which form a large part of their domestic fleet.
