Found some Interesting article
Quek Leng Chan’s bet on the US airline industry has proven to be a costly gamble after AMR Corp — the parent company of American Airlines and regional carrier American Eagle — filed for bankruptcy protection in late November.
Just three months after Quek bought a 7.3% stake in August, the value of his original US$92 million (RM290 million) stake plunged by as much as 93% — from the US$3.78 share price level to a historic low of US$0.26.
Lost 93% LOL
I will cry out loud

It would be interesting to see if he would sell his stake. Nothing is loss until he sells OR he could
buy more, be a majority stake holder and just own that airline entirely. It will be real odd to see Malaysian
running American Airline versus running their own domestic airline.
Airline is really tough business in USA. Rising cost of fuel, labor and endless regulations to abide by.
Most business people now travel less and use technology more for supplementing face to face meeting.
Update Tuesday evening:SPX spikes to near 1250, that's short term resistance and bearish divergence.
I've closed out my LVS Dec 42 puts by buying it back at 50% discount.
Re-selling it again at 55c. Hopefully, this will go to 1c by this Friday.
