Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Cincinnati has more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other city in the US. Now that DAL has pulled down the hub, those businesses are going to leave.
Very true. There are truckers up there making well over a 100K a year transporting oil everywhere. This was the temporary fix until they built the pipeline, but apparently the current administration blocked it. Looks like these jobs and there pay are here to stay for some time.
As soon as those corporations balk on their corporate accounts, I bet we close CVG very quickly.
The press in CVG was notorious for beating up Delta on any news day. They often claimed that if Delta would just leave, that the vacuum would be filled by SWA, JetBlue, and unicorns, and everyone could fly to Europe for 99 dollars.

Self Directed Investing
I have been contacted by a bunch of people to provide my resources to empower them to become self-directed investors. I have no problem answering each person individually. But, this seems more efficient for those of you who are interesed. This is a copy of what I have been sending to fellow APC'ers.
You may ask, how is this relevant to the L&G thread. Well, when DAL, and to some degree NWA, got rid of the pensions it became our responsibility to manage our retirements. That is how this is germane to the thread.
Here is my reply to a PM:
Knowledge is power and you have taken the first step. Here are a few resources.
First, at Amazon.com buy yourself a copy of The Options Playbook by Brian Overby. Get the second edition. It's available for free online at Trade King, but I really like having it as a reference book. It's $25.00.
Second, Tastytrade.com. Tom Sosnoff is the founder and CEO. He started ThinkorSwim. He sold his firm to TD Ameritrade and Tastytrade is his new venture. It is a daily live webcast. It streams weekdays from 8 to 12 Eastern and by subscription from 3:30 to 4:15. It is exclusively geared at the self-directed investor and trader. The morning sessions are FREE. (Pilots like FREE) They are archived, also. If you miss one, you can catch up on layover. The afternoon sessions are subscriber only. It's entertaining and educational at the same time. The annual cost is $45.00. If you decide to subscribe, let me know, use me as a reference and I get a $25.00 voucher, too. Start watching this instead of CNBC or any other financial news. I know these guys personally and they are real deal. It will seem very much like greek to you, but if you hang in there and listen often enough it will begin to sink in.
Regarding your retirement accounts, you will want to investigate www.snideradvisors.com. This is how I made the transition from mutual funds and individual stocks. It's trading with training wheels. I can recommend it. I've been doing it for four years. I know people who have been doing it for seven years. I use it for my 401(k) and DC Plans. It can be done at Fidelity. DAL limits our options when it comes to investing. But, the Brokerage Link will support the Snider system. You will pay for the cost of learning the system in the first month you trade using the method. The online course is great and well worth the cost. Have your spouse take the course with you. This will not require huge amounts of your time to successfully use it, only one day per month.
Now here's the hook. Your investing will change completely. You will learn how to trade options. You will learn how to produce income without invading principal. Options are not weapons of mass destruction when understood and used properly. For every buyer/speculator there is someone on the other side of the trade. The mistake people make is to trade speculatively. What you will learn to do is to sell premium. You will be selling to the chumps who are too stupid to understand what they are doing is a loser position. This is the safe side of a trade with the probabilities in your favor. All of these resources will teach you how to do this.
This will literally seem like greek for a while, but if you are persistent, you will learn to be successful.
I'm always happy to help. I can provide you with a lot of information on how to use the Snider Method, but it won't make a lot of sense until you have taken the course. Once you have taken the course, contact me again and I will help you with the details.
Go forth and learn.

There, now it's germane to L&G
