Legendary Investor, Warren Bufett sells airline stocks, you ?First thing first, let's find out when did he buy this DAL.
It was bought on 15 Nov 2016 at approx 47.67. Today's share price is 22.48, a loss of 151 million (ballpark) based on 6 million shares (ballpark)
Digest that for a minute !
Now, based on his value investing philosophy, he claims to buy and not sell forever and hold on to stocks for as long as possible. So when he sells, it is BIG NEWS to the market !
Of course, we are not arguing if he has other protections like buying puts and other hedging instruments, that is for another day !
Already, we have seen 2 counters , Boeing and Ryan Air plummeting its share price.
I read somewhere about when people are forced to change to adapt to a new environment, initially they resist (those who still go out party and head to the beach) but after a while, they adapt and get comfortable so much so when the external environment returns to normal, they will not want to come out of their comfortable caves...... i.e., they may not want to travel for the time being.
Hopefully, this does not apply to you and me as I love to travel and see the world, man !
See my chart for where I think it is heading next.

$DAL Time To Start A PositionLike most investors, we are looking at stocks that have seen a big bounce off the lows. The one exception to this rule is the airline stocks. $DAL is just $4 off its 52 week lows of $19.10 a share. President Trump has said publicly that he is not going to let the airlines fail and that a bailout package is on the way. We will look to add to our position on any selloff.
Good luck to all!
DAL good for remaining of the year?NYSE:DAL With and ultra-low interest environment, government stepping in to rescue airlines from the shutdowns of COVID-19, low fuel prices; I believe it is prime for investment long-term; however, recommend hedge with oil and gas industry that benefits from rising energy prices.
Smarter than Buffett?"Delta plunges after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway slashes its stake" is the morning's headline following the announcement. As investments I don't know why anyone would want to own airlines. They are too exposed to all kinds of risk... world economic factors, energy, terrorism, and now plagues. But to trade airlines... the contrarian in me combined with a price action alert makes me want to test for an opportunity. Earnings are this week and I do not expect anything they say to help or harm what is already known; that Delta is burning through a whopping $60 million per DAY! So while there is some earnings gap risk I'm going to keep my position small and exploratory. Let's see if this is the double bottom of the Daily.
Delta Airlines WeakensAlthough talks of stimulus bills are circulating in the airline industry Delta Airlines is showing little strength after the news. The stock takes a quick rally upwards to only find itself loosing half of the gains shortly after. The downtrend continues to hold strength in the short term market
