ERJ - Why This Texas-Based Company Could Be a Key Pick for Airline Investors
2025-11-01 13:14:00 ET
In Oliver Stone's 1987 classic Wall Street , Gordon Gekko attempted to extract profit from the fictitious Bluestar Airlines by committing what amounted to insider trading , implying that it's difficult to make money with airline stocks the "right way."
Hollywood hits aside, if Warren Buffett has difficulty making money in airline stocks -- he's taken losses in the industry on two separate occasions -- best believe that this segment isn't giving away "easy money." Of course, it pays to remember that Gekko is a fictional character and even the greatest investors, including Buffett, don't bat a thousand.
Add it all up and it might sound as though the best course of action is to avoid stocks like American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) , but this Texas-based carrier has recently been gaining altitude and its ascent may be far from over.
