@pierce - If KQ hit 75/-, I would be happy... At some point KQ is a potential target to take over... Why? coz the Mid-East airlines (Etihad, Emirates, Qatar, etc) need to expand into Africa & KQ has the network!

I am confused... why do you say that? Sad
Mega-mergers in the near future are:
BA-Iberia
Continental-United

So KQ is small fry for these airlines...

Note that when I say takeover... I mean 49%-51% stake coz of some 'ownership' criteria that defines a 'local' or 'national' airline...

Anyway, KLM wud be part of the mix:

1) KLM buys more shares to get 50% (How Vodafone plans to do eventually with safcom)

2) KLM sells stake to 'other' airline/buyer

3) KLM stays put but this can be problematic coz other airline needs to buy at least 26% to counter KLM. If GoK is neutral...

GoK at 23% becomes very important here... Whether it supports KLM or 'other' airline...

In my case, I am after the cash... so as it stands (before I know what is in store for 2010-11) for KQ... If I got $1 per share (75-78)... I would bail...

I like KQ's prospects but I wud take the cash & re-invest in other stuff...
