Bought them at RM2.48 in Nov/Dec. If you fly AirAsia, then buy and own it too. E.g. the reason you bought a Honda car cos it was reliable, you've done research on it, your friend has it, and you find it has very good mileage and safety.

If you believe in something, then invest in it too.
Other ways to think about it is like Digi (if you're a Digi user), imagine having bought the shares when they listed. Today it's over RM26.00...
AirAsia Target Price Ratings

Here's two scenarios:
1) Petrol prices up. RON95 from RM1.90 becomes RM4.50. Likely we will be queueing to buy Honda Insight, or those who have it or any other more efficient car will be contented. End of day, the car is still being filled. Your Honda is still running. You won't be opting to use a bicycle just yet.

2) Oil up. Fuel Surcharge Up. Every airline will do it. KUL-BKK airfares about 500 RM on AirAsia. While 1000 RM on MAS. Becomes 1000 RM on AirAsia. But perhaps 2000 RM on MAS or other airlines. Those who took MAS at 1000 RM prices, will soon be considering "paying the same price" but using AirAsia instead.

So one level is bumped down, but AirAsia still gets to keep the passengers coming. Perhaps zero fare seekers will diminish that's life at the lower rung of the zooplankton food chain.

In short, that route KUL-BKK will still operate. And which operator wins?

That line of news is misinterpreted.
AirAsia is starting up a full subsidiary in Singapore, as AirAsia Singapore. Much like AirAsia Thailand, and AirAsia Indonesia - both of which allows 49% ownership by AirAsia.

By setting up a full subsidiary in Singapore, there is a vast opportunity to tap the hundreds of connecting flights that land in the lucrative Singapore stop-over route. And setting up base camp, also allows AirAsia to operate more routes and landing slots.

Enjoy your vacation - now everyone can fly! (Now Everyone Can Invest too.. in AirAsia)

The operating HQ of a strong public company could be in another country not domiciled by its main customers. Some reasons could be taxation, proximity to customers, proximity to investors.

Some interesting facts related to this irrelevance:
There were many educated investors who assumed "Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank" aka "HSBC" is a Hong Kong bank or China bank. It is actually a British bank.

BATA is a Canadian company. But it is so strong in Malaysia, Malaysians assumed it is local.

What is the significance of that worry or notion?

AirAsia has more and more positives coming. All those linked up with regional Asean bases - Indonesia (200 million), Thailand 68 million, Vietnam and Philippines (80 million each) plus Japan (120 million high income earners).

If you have it, keep holding on to AirAsia.
If you've not invested, then think Now Everyone Can Invest, and do it before it goes way over the affordable threshold.

Most research house are having positive vibes, based on financials and projections, plus coming link-up with several regional countries.

80 million people in Philippines.
120 million high income hight net worth individuals (HNWI) from Japan.
Plus both sides of the billionaires (India and China) - chances seats will surely be filled. Think of these scenarios, combined. Many are first time flyers eager to experience being on air. Working hard for years. Plus finally allocated time for a holiday. There's a flight. There are seats. And the rest is history (and a comfy AirAsia balance sheet).
