I am a bit behind on the NSE nowadays, there was a time I was as sharp as a razor ....

the trick is to wait to see whether it'll go below 10...then wait till it crosses above 10 and buy with 1/4 intended position size....add more on like a moron if it goes higher and adjust upwards your mental stop loss...if it instead goes lower sell your first lot immediately ....this is the best method handed down by the trading gods...never cost average, never.....and you'll be laughing at buy and holders.

disclaimer :I currently hold no positions in the NSE the crappy executions,3 days settlement and larger than life commissions convinced me to take my game elsewhere.

At this sub 11/- level KQ is technically oversold, but the risk/reward ratio of catching this falling knife is too skewed towards burning fingers.
Are you sure? I expect a 2H loss:

- Fired staff back on the payroll
- Legals fees
- Loss of focus
- High fuel prices
- Increased capacity but low loads
- Elections scare away tourists (potential violence)

The results will be released May/June 2013. I expect sub-10.

My conclusion was it's too risky even if it's technically oversold. It'll bounce due to selling fatigue, but fundamentals point south for now until there's a drastic change of events towards recovery. I expect capitulation to occur post results in 2013, which could push it sub 10/- for a while. I still foresee a special AGM soon and it'll be action-packed.
Why an EGM?

@hisah A new MD/CEO doesn't require an EGM. If KQ needs new cash, then yes but who is gonna entertain a Rights Issue today? They shot themselves in the foot with the last one.

Potential of cash coming into KQ is low..however..kq is not leaking cash...it is hemorrhaging!!!!

KQ needs to chill out in capital injection plans and stop rushing into more debt (acquiring planes)...just stop awhile..and focus on operational inefficiencies.. Audit staff, and optimise on working capital..

what's the worse that can happen?

1st half was bad...only an idiot expects awesome results for this and the next 2 years or so... so TN should quit trying prove things are ok...things are bad...so stop everything and rethink!!

shelve dreams for now and reconstruct operations of KQ.

If they shelve those dreams they are done. They cant compete with rented planes which are guzzlers. This pain killer is a must.

If u dont peddle then u can as well wait and sink. They have to acquire their own planes otherwise for how long shall they be working for others. They have to take the bitter pill to get well.

The thing is...KQ uses too much money to get just one additional shilling of revenue

...operational costs are too huge..and increasing...plug in those operational inefficiencies and you have better footing to handle financial costs such as debt on planes, hire costs etc..

It's awesome to acquire planes..but clean out your operational systems first. Thus..plug the hole in your boat..or find a way to slow the water sipping in rather than hurriedly paddle after a dream.

Too much money is relative. They have to adapt with the changing times or they are rendered redundant or useless.

Think about it. Their passenger no.s in Africa Asia and M/E are growing but flat on Europe up on cargo. Can someone say KQ is in bad business?

What has failed KQ is Boeing, these planes were supposed to have been delivered by now. And its not KQ alone, but the whole aviation industry. Some like Quantas cancelled their order of 35 planes. How hey will compete with Emirates will be a story for another day.

Citi were perpetuated the management's lie that the rights money would be used as deposit for new planes. Barely a year and they come shouting how KQ needs to borrow more to finance working capital! In other jurisdictions, someone would lose a licence for such fraud or worse go to jail.

Ethiopian Airline grounds Dreamliners amid safety scares - http://www.businessdaily...6/-/72kf4g/-/index.html

Quote:
Ethiopian Airline has temporarily grounded its Boeing 787 Dreamliners amid safety concerns raised by recent events in the US and Japan.

In a statement issued on Thursday the airline said it had not experienced any technical issues with the aircraft but opted to temporarily pull its 787 fleet out of service for precautionary inspection as advised by the US Federal Aviation Administration.

Ethiopian was the first airline in Africa to receive the Dreamliner and has four in its fleet.

US aerospace giant Boeing said late Friday that it had suspended deliveries of its new 787 Dreamliners until
safety experts resolve battery and electrical systems problems, but continues to build the aircraft.
The announcement capped a week in which all 50 787s in service around the world were grounded on orders
from multiple aviation
authorities to investigate the cause of two incidents, including a fire, linked to its batteries.

The A380 had more serious teething problems than the 787 ....there engine blowouts (rolls royce engines) due to lubrication issues and wing microfractures ....yet its all smooth sailing now. These 787 woes are minor in comparison and will soon pass.
