American Airlines Group Inc (AAL)

Wow! You just jogged my old memory bank with a great bit of recollection. It was on that day that I doubled down literally. A close fellow trader/investor did the same after getting over the shock. When he asked why I did it, my response was that I believed in the company and sensed I don't need to align with cowardice when there are opportunities for success. And I couldn't imagine the government killing all those jobs, ambitions and potentials a reorganized AAL would likely pose. Mostly, I doubted that Congress would dare risk negative public outcries out for revenge when their constituents' hue & cry would breathe down the backs of their occupational tenure.

Sometimes you gotta believe in the system even if only to bet against it.
