Turbulence Ahead
--AMR/US Air Merger Challenged by US Justice Department
The Justice Department and a number of individual state attorneys general announced today that they are filing a lawsuit to stop the merger of airline giants AMR Corp (AAMRQ) and US Airways (LCC). The merger, if completed, would result in the largest US airline. The DOJ has objected to the merger on the basis that it would reduce competition and lead to increased air fares and a lower level of service across the Unites States. AMR Corp has been a high-flying stock selection for our Forecast Model for many months now. Subscribers to our VE View newsletter had been riding the stock's ascent for the past 8 months or so and the airline had returned more than 100%. When originally selected by our Forecast Model, the stock was trading at around $2.80/share. At recent highs in May, the stock was trading for @6.85/share. When the news was announced about the DOJ suit, the stock went into free fall and is currently trading around $3.15/share.

Of course, this is yet another good example of the need for stop-losses for every position, especially when you have had such a strong run up. It's also a reminder that the outside world can intervene within one's portfolio when one least expects it. Our model still rates AAMRQ a STRONG BUY-- because of the run up and the underlying fundamentals--and recent news from AAMRQ had been positive with the airline reporting all-time record revenue for the month of July only yesterday. However, it will take 24-48 hours for qualitative analysts to adjust their estimates for earnings and for our models to fully digest this big price swing. Clearly, this was a momentum play for the Forecast Model, and now that the momentum has been reversed, the models will have to recalculate. Below is today's data on AAMRQ:
