RJET

Again, I posted this on the former Portal a few weeks ago.
"I bet some of you are thinking:
"RJET? Hmm... The last three letters seem to spell trouble but I'm not sure what it means:-\. OMG It's an AIRLINE company! Run for cover!"
Well,
(1)I currently have a bearish position on oil.
(2)I believe the sentiment in airline stocks is excessively bearish(contrast with oil stocks). The Airlines index($XAL at stockcharts.com) broke out of a rectangle, met the minimum price objective and is up 20% to test resistance again.
(3)Many of these are new/have experienced bailouts, so they are given a new start. Not very fair for those with pensions terminated, but it provides a good opportunity to buy the stock of airline companies.
(4)I have a former chess student who works in the airlines industry(he fixes planes or something like that) He believes people are flying more. Gotta believe those in an industry.
(5)RJET has had exponential growth in the past few years. Net assets have grown nearly 1000% in the past three years.
(6)It has broken out of a flat base.
Now factors against it:
(1)Oil is only in an intermediate correction
(2)RJET has been growing rapidly by debt. It has doubled its long term debt last year to buy equipment(planes I suppose) It is currently highly leveraged and a downturn in the industry will kill it.
However, I believe the factors on the "good" side so overwhelm those on the bad side .
I'll look for more gems in the airlines industry.
I did post a buy on SKYW on RDPD a few months ago at $23(now at $28), alas, I also recommended a buy for NWAC(OOPS). It seems there are some good picks in the airlines industry, especially since every living soul is bearish . "
Well, it's up over 6% already since I recommended it. Still very bullish outlook.

Time to sell this one. I don't feel too positive about it. And airlines index is at resistance, industry leader LUV isn't doing well either.
MACD and ADX both point to bear side. SELL and airline industry outlook downgraded.

HUGE accumulation day. Speculative bullish. No base so VERY speculative... But this pattern seems great to me(Huge up day and a hanging man). We'll see what happens. Airlines index bullish.

This seems like a speculative gamble. Closed at 14.99 yesterday, long at open prices today. Double bottom, MACD ADX bull. And testing 65 day MA.

ADX bull cross. Broke above 65 day MA, at 15.54 now, in a strong uptrend. I think it will go much further.
