AN ASSESSMENT • Virtual Currency has a BAD SOUND • First in win – last in lose • Not really that liquid • It will lose its “pure” purpose • Like Bearer Bonds – Once gone they’re gone • - Estimated 10% have been stolen • NO stable exchange rate • NO physical nexus • THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE WATCHING TULIPS ANYONE?

THE PRICE IS FALLING DISCUSSION TOPICS
INVESTING TRUISMS 1 THE PRICE IS FALLING • TRUTH #1– AT SOME POINT A STOCK’S PRICE WILL FALL • TRUTH #2 – DO NOT OVERREACT TO PRICE FLUCTUATIONS • TRUTH #3– NEVER BECOME EMOTIONAL ABOUT A STOCK • TRUTH #4 – NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A COMPANY
THE BASICS 2 THE PRICE IS FALLING • THE BASICS ARE ESSENTIAL • ENTRY PRICE IS NOT ALWAYS AN EXIT FACTOR • ONCE YOU BUY A STOCK – “STAND ON YOUR HEAD” • COMPANY FUNDAMENTALS MATTER • FUTURE PROSPECTS ARE CRITICAL • DECISIONS MUST BE NON-EMOTIONAL • RECURRING THEMES ARE IMPORTANT • MARKETS HAVE IMPACT • INDUSTRY MATTERS • FIRM-SPECIFICS WARRANT CONCERN PRICE PAID IS NOT A PRIME FACTOR IN SELLING REASONS TO SELL ARE REALLY THE SAME AS BUYING COMPANY FUNDAMENTALS NEED TO BE REVIEWED OFTEN ALWAYS CONSIDER THE NEXT STEP FOR A COMPANY REMEMBER THE “BUGGY WHIP” EMOTIONAL DECISIONS ARE USUALLLY WRONG COMPANIES FOLLOW PATTERNS KNOW THEM! MARKETS HAVE IMPACT BUT DON’T AFFECT ALL STOCKS EQUALLY – KNOW THE DYNAMICS INDUSTRY MATTERS – SOME SAY UP TO 50% OF A STOCK’S PRICE IS RELATED TO SECTOR FIRM-SPECIFICS ARE CRITICAL- THINK AIRLINES
MARKET DYNAMICS 3 THE PRICE IS FALLING • TRADING ON MARKET WEAKNESS • BY ITSELF NEVER A REASON TO SELL • TAKE A LONGER-TERM PERSPECTIVE ON THE COMPANY • KNOW THE STOCK VERSUS THE MARKET • BE AWARE OF PRICE/VOLUME INCONSISTENCIES • EXTREME VOLATILITY IS USUALLY A NEGATIVE • HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY
STOCKDYNAMICS 3 THE PRICE IS FALLING • THE TECHNICALS • CAN NOT BE IGNORED • OFTEN MORE OF A “TRADE” THAN A “POSITION” • SHORTER HORIZONS • IF NOT A TRADER – DON’T OVERREACT • FUNDAMENTALS CAN “DRIVE” TECHNICALS • THEY CAN BE SUBJECTIVE • IN A SENSE THEY ARE LAGGING INDICATORS • WE ARE NOT TECHNICAL TRADERS
INDUSTRY CONSIDERATIONS 4 THE PRICE IS FALLING • SECTOR/INDUSTRY FACTORS • STRUCTURAL CHANGES DO OCCUR • SECULAR PATTERNS CAN BE TOUGH • BE AWARE OF CYCLICAL TRENDS • REGULATORY CHANGES MEAN THINGS • INDUSTRY LIABILITY ISSUES GET EVERYBODY • COMPETITOR ANNOUNCEMENTS CAN MOVE STOCK PRICES • FRANCHISE DAMAGE IS HARD TO OVERCOME • PRICING POWER AFFECTS MARGINS
FIRM-SPECIFIC ISSUES 5 THE PRICE IS FALLING • THINGS GO WRONG • EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS • Natural Disasters • Product Recalls • Product Liability • EARNINGS REPORTS • Don’t “Bet” on earnings • Don’t Overreact – Listen/Read • Bad Earnings Take a Quarter to Recover • MANAGEMENT ISSUES • AUDITOR CHANGES • BUY OR BUY/OUT • PRICE CAN’T GO UP ANY FURTHER!? • PRICE MOVING DOWN
THE PRICE IS FALLING • CONCLUSIONS • BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING INVESTORS: EMOTION • SCREEN MONTHLY CAN CATCH LAGGARDS • STOCK PICKING GETS MORE CRITICAL AS MARKETS MOVE UP • TO BE SUCCESSFUL TRADING PLATFORMS MUST: • Be quantifiable • Avoid interpretation • Be consistent/repeatable • Test expectancy • Specify exact entry/exit points • Have a reasonable level of complexity • Be explainable • Have disciplined users • STAY RATIONALE
Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) Southwest Airlines Co. operates passenger airlines that provide scheduled air transportation services in the United States. As of December 31, 2012, the company operated 694 aircraft, including 606 Boeing 737 aircraft and 88 Boeing 717 aircraft. It served 97 destinations in 41 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as well as 6 near-international countries, including Mexico, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Aruba, Dominican Republic, and Bermuda. It also sells frequent flyer points and/or credits and related services to business partners participating in the Rapid Rewards frequent flyer program, including car rental agencies, hotels, restaurants, and retail locations. The company was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Source: FinViz.com, April 2013
Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) POSITIVES:Preying on weaker competitors, Southwest has used the downturn to expand service offerings to Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York LaGuardia, and Boston Logan airports. If successful, these new markets will provide ample growth opportunities going forward. Possible concerns:Airlines for America estimates that the tax percentage on airfare has tripled to roughly 20% of the price of a ticket today, up from 7% in 1972. Analysts don't expect the amount of taxation to decrease going forward, especially as the government contemplates ways to pay for increased security measures, so Southwest and the industry likely will receive a smaller share of future ticket proceeds.

DEUTSCHE BANK Deutsche Bank upgraded Southwest Airlines Company from Hold to Buy and raised the price target from $11.00 to $15.00. Deutsche Bank noted, "We are raising our rating on Southwest shares from Hold to Buy as we now believe the company is well-positioned to meaningfully improve its pretax ROIC. We think the company has turned the corner on its AirTran acquisition and should start to enjoy the fruits of various revenue (e.g. AirTran code sharing) and cost initiatives (e.g. growth of 737-800 inductions). Accompanying the P&L improvement, we think there will be further debt pay-down and share buybacks. For the twelve months ended 9/30/12, Southwest's pretax ROIC was 7%."
