KQ doesn't (& can't) operate flights using 5th freedom to AMS/CDG from most African countries. So why would KLM give up revenue to KQ?

And how does KLM benefit in the expanded arrangement from KQ? [AMS & CDG are already covered]. Only exception I see is NBO-LHR [and perhaps LHR-USA via Delta using AF/KLM codeshare or agreement with Delta] which KQ flies but KLM cannot. Currently only 7x week.

Is Jambo Jet dead?

Bull camp - obiero & murchr (those that have stuck it out)

Bear camp - many wazuans.

Sentiment - very bearish.

Trade meter - extreme negative sentiment

So far since printing 9/- it has bounced to 13/-

Short selling will make such plays very interesting. In KQ's case, a short squeeze has started, but slowly. Above 15 the short squeeze starts getting stronger legs after breaking down the 12 - 14 resistance forest. At this point a short seller who bought at 10 expecting the price to tank to a set target say 8 is now sitting in losses as price rallies. The short seller panics and takes his losses at 15. If many short sellers cut their losses in a rush the short squeeze gets stronger legs and price vaults causing margin calls. Welcome to high tempo volatility with sizable losses and gains depending on the camp you chose. An example of how short selling would have fried some in this KQ corner.

Thus why I've been fancing trading laggards since they have the higher chance of rallying hard in the coming rotation. And not just any laggards... MSC not yet. KK, KPLC, KQ na NBK team recovery for my picks in 2014.

Interesting that @kausha fancies KK, but bashes KQ as @obiero defends it.

And so the drama continues

Sellers a-plenty while Buyers bidding lower & lower.

Now that you who sees these cycles why havent you tried to make money out of them? KQ operates on level 5 of the environmental turbulence thus even that 2015 is not known and thats the joy of the aviation business. No one knows how the oil market will behave in 2014 so please dont lie to wazuans about 2015 being anything to KQ even with the new fleet.
