Talk about bad news. AMR Corporation (AMR) will be announcing its latest quarterly earnings on October 17, and from what you read on almost every financial website, a bankruptcy may be looming for this company in the opinion of many investors. After all, for the quarter ending June 30, the company generated negative earnings of 2.02 per share.
On top of that, a woman has just sued Continental Airlines, a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (UAL), because a flight she was on was too turbulent for her. The woman claims that she has post-traumatic stress disorder from the stress of the flight, causing her to fear flying, and in turn has affect her career. It makes you wonder if there are any airline stocks worth buying.
