re: Novice stock question

Also a novice, but I’m with you just not in this very moment because I believe more losses are coming.

Personally I think AA is in a terrible position for this with their massive debt load especially compared to their peers. Southwest has a great debt position with respect to their cash and income. Delta is solid, but southwest is the stronger company financially.

With oil and gas that sector has been terrible for a while and just got worse. I agree with the thinking and a company like XOM offers a sweet dividend, but I worry that sweet dividend gets cut with reducing cash flows for some currently unknown period of time and that will further erode stock price and slash your yield.

I am cautiously watching, but I’m watching what you’re watching among other plays.
