Out all GYMB and ACN, double my position on LUV and FLEX and CHB.

Oil price down to $56 range, will go down more. Although LUV hedge the oil risk, the lower oil price will lift the airline sector in a certain level. The whole airline industry recovering since recently with summer oil crisis bursted.

FLEX will benifit on XBOX360 and Euro headset and cellphone companies' big order. And FLEX invest hefty in Indian and CHina to reduce the cost in order to keep the market shares and competition.

CHB received FNMA's contract shows the relationship with government. To rebuit some states within a short time is impossible unless use factory-built house and I believe this is what the government will do. CHB go to $30 won't surprise me at all.

Great news to Southwest Airline: Bush signs bill exempting Missouri from Wright Amend

WASHINGTON (AP) - It's official -- Missourians are now free to fly to Dallas on Southwest Airlines.

President Bush signed a transportation bill Wednesday that allows air travel between Love Field airport in Dallas and points in Missouri for the first time since the Wright Amendment restricted flights 26 years ago.

Southwest officials are now rushing to add daily service from Love Field -- home base of the low-cost carrier -- to Kansas City and St. Louis. The airline is expected to announce details this week.

"It would certainly be our hope to get the service started by the end of the year," Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Beth Harbin said Wednesday. "It's exciting for Southwest and customers in Missouri who are finally going to get low-fare access to Dallas."

Harbin said the company already has an ad campaign in the works that's been waiting for the bill to be signed.

The Wright Amendment was designed to help growth at newer Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport -- home to American Airlines -- when it was built in the 1970s. The restriction said airlines at Love Field could only fly within Texas, its four neighboring states and Kansas, Mississippi and Alabama.

Earlier this year, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., inserted a provision into the annual transportation spending bill making Missouri the ninth state to be exempt from the law.

The move is expected to bring dramatically lower air fares to Missouri, where Southwest is the largest carrier at Kansas City International Airport and the second largest at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

Minutes after the bill-signing was official, American Airlines announced plans to compete with Southwest from up to three gates at Love Field.

"Following up on its recent meeting with Dallas Love Field Airport officials, American Airlines today formally notified the airport that it intends to start service from Love Field as soon as it can obtain and prepare appropriate facilities," American spokesman Tim Wagner said.

He said the airline would announce a schedule soon. The company has spent years fighting any repeal of the Wright Amendment, fearing it could lose hundreds of millions a year.

Wagner said opening up Love Field to Missouri flights is significant because many travelers from St. Louis and Kansas City visit the Dallas area and don't just connect with other flights.

"We are afraid those travelers will move over to Love Field because it is closer to downtown Dallas," Wagner said. "There's quite a bit of that local traffic. That's what we've said we'll need to protect."

American lowered its fares to St. Louis and Kansas City in early October, but Wagner said the move was unrelated to the Wright Amendment exemption. American now offers 11 daily flights from DFW to Kansas City and 13 to St. Louis.

I've picked FLEX for the POTW contest. How do you think it will fare in the next 2 days?

FLEX should be traded above $15. XBOX's demand is huge and the more important is the relationship between FLEX and those big companies, such as NOK, HPQ, MSFT, NT, etc. FLEX will share those giant companies business growth and that growth is for sure for the next couple of years. Also FLEX invest lot of plants and equity in India and China. Take a look at the polulation there, totally close to 3 billion people. The Chinese cellphone and eletronic devices market is growing trememdously. FLEX is the number one EMS company in the world, definately FLEX will get contracts from chinese government or companies.

I feel very confident about FLEX's future and I am holding my position tight.

US Airline Industry Poised For Upturn -Analyst

US Airline Industry Poised For Upturn -Analyst


11-30-05 02:42 PM EST
CHICAGO -(Dow Jones)- Having lost $22.3 billion since 2001, the U.S. airline industry now is ready to take off, thanks in part to this year's high fuel prices, according to a research analyst.

"Currently, we believe that the industry is at an inflection point, and could be positioned to accumulate substantial profits over the next couple of years," Stefan Lumiere, special situations analyst at Oscar Gruss & Son, a New York research firm, wrote Wednesday.

Airline passenger revenue hasn't kept pace with the economy, Lumiere wrote. Today, passenger revenue is 0.65% of U.S. GDP, down from 0.95% in 1995. Low-cost airlines have driven ticket prices down across the industry, the analyst said. Lower revenue left many of the major airlines vulnerable to the recent spike in the cost of jet fuel, forcing two of them into bankruptcy.

But, he said, "In addition to low-cost carriers, we believe that skyrocketing fuel prices have been a blessing in disguise for all carriers." The industry not only has cut costs quickly, but has raised ticket prices, he said.

Major airlines in bankruptcy, including United Air Lines, a unit of UAL Corp. (UALAQ), Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) and Northwest Airlines Corp. (NWAC), along with US Airways (LCC), which recently emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization, have cut unprofitable routes and renegotiated expensive labor contracts. That's put them in a competitive position with low-cost leaders like Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) and JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU).

At the same time, consumers now believe that airlines need to raise fares to cover rising costs, Lumiere said. For the first time in a long while, higher airline ticket prices will "stick," he believes. "If energy prices subside, margins should expand, thereby resulting in greater profitability for the airlines."

Investors should keep some competitive issues in mind, Lumiere said. First, fuel hedges enjoyed by some airlines will gradually be rolling off, making a more level playing field for carriers like Southwest Airlines, which has enjoyed a significant fuel-cost advantage. But some carriers operate much more fuel- efficient fleets. JetBlue has the most efficient and the youngest fleet of all domestic carriers, Lumiere wrote.

Lumiere on Wednesday initiated coverage on most U.S. airlines and several foreign carriers. But, despite his bullish stance on the industry, he hasn't rated individual stocks. He said it would require more in-depth analysis of off- balance-sheet items and operations excluding hedging contracts, as well as a thorough examination of the indentures and covenants.

Southwest Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service From Dallas Love Field to Kansas Cit

Southwest Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service From Dallas Love Field to Kansas City and St. Louis





12-01-05 10:10 AM EST | New Law Makes St. Louis and Kansas City Southwest's First New Nonstop Routes From Love Field in 25 Years

/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- President George W. Bush recently signed a transportation appropriations bill containing language that exempts Missouri from federal restrictions placed on Dallas' Love Field airport. This exemption now makes it possible for Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), the signature carrier at Love Field, to initiate new nonstop jet service from Dallas to its Missouri operations in Kansas City and St. Louis.

Southwest will start service to St. Louis and Kansas City from Dallas on Dec. 13, 2005, with four daily nonstop flights to each city. The one-way fare from Dallas to either city will be just $79 with 14-day advance purchase. The unrestricted "walk-up" fare is just $129 each way, compared to fares as high as $599 each way on American Airlines.

"Southwest Airlines has served Missouri for more than 20 years but Congress has prevented us from offering low-fare service between Missouri and our home airport at Dallas' Love Field," said Herb Kelleher, Southwest's executive chairman and co-founder. "Missouri has been punished far too long by the resulting high-fare monopoly. We are delighted by Senator Bond's efforts to wipe out the last vestige of airline regulation for the people of Missouri."

Under the leadership of Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond (R-MO), Missouri has been added to the list of states eligible for nonstop commercial air service from Love Field. Since 1979, nonstop service from Love Field has been restricted to Texas and its four surrounding states due to the Wright Amendment, named for then-Speaker of the House Jim Wright who sought to protect Dallas/Ft. Worth International (DFW) Airport. In 1997, Senator Richard Shelby (D-AL) succeeded in adding Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas to the list. The "Bond Amendment" of 2005 allows competitive air service at Love Field to reach one state further.

"When these two Missouri airports gain new Southwest Airlines service, history tells us that airport traffic will increase as more people are able to fly at a lower price," Kelleher said.

A study by the Campbell-Hill Aviation Group, commissioned by Southwest Airlines, predicts nearly 500,000 additional Missouri passengers per year will be generated through fare savings estimated to be more than $77 million. The US Department of Transportation calls this well-documented stimulation of passenger traffic through low fares the "Southwest Effect." Campbell-Hill also predicts an additional $218 million per year will go to the Missouri economy in related spending.

All eyes will be on Missouri to see if the venerated "Southwest Effect" takes hold in an established market. History, and Southwest Airlines, say that it can. "They don't call Missouri the 'Show Me State' for nothing!" Kelleher said. "The push from Missouri allows us to create a competition laboratory, if you will, to prove our case. Our experience in 60 other markets tells us that all carriers serving these markets will decrease their fares and increase their Missouri traffic. I can't think of a state that wouldn't want that."

Southwest Airlines, the nation's largest carrier in terms of domestic passengers enplaned, currently serves 61 cities in 31 states. Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more than 2,900 flights a day and has 31,000+ Employees systemwide.

Fare Rules

Fares are available one-way and are combinable with all other fares. When combining fares, all ticketing restrictions apply. The fares are available for purchase today through the end of Southwest's published schedule (currently March 31, 2006). Tickets must be purchased at least 14 days before departure. Seats are limited. Fares may vary by flight and day of week and will not be available on some flights that operate during very busy travel times. Fares do not include a $3.20 federal segment tax per takeoff and landing. Fares do not include airport-assessed passenger facility charges (PFC) of up to $9 one-way and a U.S. government-imposed September 11th Security Fee of up to $5 one-way. Fares are subject to change until ticketed. Tickets are nonrefundable but may be applied toward the purchase of future travel on Southwest Airlines. Fares are valid on published, scheduled service only. Any change in itinerary may result in an increase in fare.

Oil sector plays: GEOI and ABLE. Oil prices spiked above $60 a barrel Monday amid reports that a snowstorm would hit the U.S. Northeast, the world's largest heating fuel market, and boost demand for crude oil and natural gas.

In GEOI and ABLE here for oil price back up above $60. Both of the stocks are thin volume and with great technical rebounce. If the oil price goes up, these two will fly. But if oil price does not up, they won't down much. Both of these stocks are bottom formed.

Home heating oil demand increase recently due to the long and cold winter. This year the winter is late and we know that usually later the winter the longer. This will boost heating oil price up.

Able Energy, Inc. is a holding company for five operating subsidiaries, which are engaged in the retail distribution of, and the provision of services relating to, home heating oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, and in addition, the Company provides complete HVAC installation and repair.

Moreover, Able Announces Alternative to High-Priced Foreign Oil. Able announced that it has teamed up with TransMontaigne Inc., a leading supply chain management and fuel logistics company, to significantly increase the distribution and utilization of biodiesel, a clean-burning, soy-based alternative fuel product. This latest initiative is a priority for Able, a leading New Jersey based retail energy provider. Able is currently under contract to acquire substantially all of the assets of All American Plazas, Inc., including its truck stop locations.

As oil price goes up again, investors are searching alternative energy. Such as wind mills, solar power, soy power, etc. Hot money will flow in sooner or later if oil price can not cool down and I believe it won't. Analysts say it is still a long time that we can find a very efficient substitute energy resource, but scientists are keep searching. ABLE and GEOI both are belongs to this alternative energy sector. With a long and cold winter, investors will put more attention into alternative energy stocks. ABLE and GEOI are still so cheap compared to other oil companies' stocks.

Oil Puts Pressure on Stocks.Oil edged above $60 for the first time in almost a month as a winter storm tracked toward the Northeast and most of the northern U.S. coped with frigid temperatures. Crude for January delivery was recently up $1.08 to $60.40 a barrel in Nymex trading. Meanwhile, natural gas prices jumped 17 cents to $14.10 per million British thermal units.

Oil play again, easy money here, either to make a profit, or to hedge the market. I believe GEOI and ABLE both should be traded above $10. When the market in red, hot money is seeking sectors to flow in. definately the oil and gas sector will be the hot point. When investors are extrapolating the oil price trend, more overreaction will fill in. Will see tomorrow MOMO.

In HLTH here. Aiming for >$10 target in 3 months.Baby boomer play for a long time, HLTH is the best Web medical services company, I bet you heard about WebMD, I am using it. Nice Technical rebounce chart. HLTH has strong financial background especially a lot of cash.

Here is the business report and financial background:

Revenues should remain on an upward trajectory at Emdeon Corporation (formerly WebMD Corporation). Sales at the company's Business Services group appear likely to advance slightly faster than analysts envisioned , reflecting the contribution of recent acquisitions and better demand for its newer product and service offerings. An increase of 11%-12% may be in the cards for this year.

Meanwhile, Emdeon's second-quarter earnings provided some degree of optimism that its Physician Services segment has finally gotten traction; it may be able to move forward at a much improved pace, given the reported infrastructure improvements and the resulting ability to implement systems in a more effective manner. At this point, top-line growth of 5%-6% seems probable, with an operating margin of some 10%. Analysts continue to anticipate steady progress from Porex, the company's plastics business.

Emdeon is still working its way towards offering 10%-14% of WebMD Health to the public. Revenue from the Internet portal is growing fast, and it is likely to continue doing so. WebMD Health is increasingly the site of choice for health-related information by the general public; it also has a large professional following. Accordingly, its contribution to Emdeon's overall financial performance should please most investors. In terms of the IPO, details remain sketchy, since, at this writing, the registration statement has not been made effective.

The company recently issued $300 million in convertible debt. The senior notes were privately placed to institutional investors under Rule 144A; their coupon is 3.125% and each $1,000 note is convertible into 64.2446 shares (at $15.57). The new debt does not alter Emdeon's financial strength, particularly in view of the upcoming IPO of WebMD Health.

Emdeon shares are top-ranked for Timeliness. This stock, which has performed nicely so far this year, continues to receive good market support. Each of the company's businesses seems to be doing well; the above-mentioned IPO is also a factor here. That said, new commitments are probably best made by aggressive accounts.

Mean Analysts target is 10.9, Valueline lowest target is $11 with high target $19. So far, JPmorgan holding Strong Buy on it, Raymond James holding "outperform" on it. Check this out: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=HLTH

I am bullish on HLTH, both in a short term and long term.
