Speaking of earninsg announcements, here's another bravely positive one:


CBSM 03/27 17:59 [UAL] UAL: Q1 EPS TO EXCEEED TOP END OF PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED 80 CENTS TO $1.20 A SHARE

CBSM 03/27 17:59 [UAL] UAL SAYS EXPECTS TO EXCEED EARNINGS ESTIMATES FOR Q1

more...

Positive Surprises

Amazing, what with higher fuel costs and all.

» Kirk - UAL is amazing!

I wonder if it speaks more to their success of driving competiton out of profitable routes where they can then raise prices? United Express has done well in the routes with competition also.

I DO know that they are a good airline and I like flying them.

Big upside surprise for sure!
It would be fun to have the time to keep a scorecard of the S&P500 and tally earnings and surprises.

» JackSwanson - Abbey

I'll bet abbey had a better reason to raise cash than Bob did, because hamburger flippers are being offered $9/hr in Silicon Valley.

» WarEagle - Burger Jobs

Jack, just to report to you and all that it's not just in Silicon Valley they pay the $9 rate. Was renting a car at south entrance to DFW about 6 months ago, and guy working there had a brother-in-law that managed a Wendy's. Guy swore that to get any applicants, he was having to pay $9/hr. A little more than I made bagging groceries in the early 60's.

» Kirk - "Livable Wage"

"Livable Wage"

Oakland and Santa Cruz CA are talking about or have "Livable Wages" which is something between $13 and $14 an hour. These cities are discussing making this the minimum wage.

I wonder how many business will form, especially new fast food places, in cities with these sorts of laws?

You think Greenspan may be a little jealous of Abby J. Cohen and Mark Mobius at this point?
