For "wondow dressing" usually the stocks that are most easily moved will be pushed higher by a fund that is below its benchmark or trailer its peers.

Will AA be one of the them? Only time will tell!

Rule Of Thumb: Never Fall In Love With A Stock

Stocks don't make good companions. They have no loyalty. While they might reward you with a giant payday one year, they'll trash you in another.

Zero.

Let the dust settle. Now too much of selling pressure from foreign & local funds.

Long holidays coming & maybe a "window dressing" stock market rally by month end? Only time will tell!

Thing to consider before buying AA

The Group’s total debt as of END OF SEPTEMBER 2012 was RM7.8 billion.

The group’s total debt for the final quarter will increase further with the delivery of eleven (11) A320 aircraft in the FINAL QUARTER of the year.

Worse still 352 planes yet to be delivered in stages starting next year till 2026.

Stock bubbles don't grow out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but reality as distorted by a misconception.

Hahahahahahahahahah!!

Thing to consider before buying AA

AirAsia removal from the FBM KLCI 30-stock index. Meaning foreign & the local funds will reduce slowly & surely this stock from their portfolios!

In love with a stock? Really?

I have heard people say this, but always thought they were joking. If you're going to pick something to fall in love with, the last thing I'd chose is a stock.

Stocks don't make good companions. They have no loyalty. While they might reward you with a giant payday one year, they'll trash you in another.

Fernandes’ strength is in marketing and brand-building. Kirana’s strength is in knowing how to deal with travel agents.

He has also proven to be quite adept in picking long-term trends. For example, Rusdi started buying high-capacity narrowbodies, such as the Boeing 737-900ER, several years before many others woke up and realized that airport slot-constraints, coupled with rising passenger traffic, would make such aircraft a necessity.

Profitability will be dragged down by fare yield depression due to heightened competition from new LCC entrant.

Leading LCC groups within Southeast Asia based on seat capacity: 10-Dec-2012 to 16-Dec-2012

Airline: / Weekly seats / % share of total LCC market

Lion Air / 858,569 / 32%

Air Asia / 807,660 / 30%

Cebu Pac / 286,680 / 11%

Tiger Air/ 120,384 / 5%

Jetstar: / 113,892 / 4%

Whether Lion affiliate carriers outside Indonesia will be successful, or even get off the ground, is debatable.

But regardless Lion has deservedly captured the attention of AirAsia and the rivalry between the two groups will continue to unfold, making for exciting times in the Southeast Asia’s dynamic marketplace.

Lion can potentially keep up with AirAsia simply by maintaining its market share in Indonesia and fending off AirAsia in its home market. But Lion also has the resources to become a major player beyond Indonesia and has been considering for some time joint ventures in countries other than Malaysia.

Lion's CEO has maintained that his preference is to entrench the airline's domestic position and there is logic in that, given the LCC's predominance at home.

But there are such potentially rich pickings across the region – Chinese regional cities alone, which are progressively opening up, offer extraordinary upside, as do the north Asian triangle markets – that Lion would be remiss to overlook the opportunities that potentially lie at its feet.

Justice Tracey said unless the full price is prominently displayed the consumer may well be attracted to a transaction which he or she would not otherwise have found to be appealing and grudgingly pay the additional imposts rather than go to the trouble of withdrawing from the transaction and looking elsewhere.

He said the company will also obtain an advantage over competitors who are compliant.

He accepted a court undertaking from Air Asia Berhad restraining it from engaging in similar conduct for three years.

"This ACCC action vindicates the importance of all inclusive pricing," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.

"Consumers must have accurate price information, and in turn, airlines require a level playing field on price representations in this competitive industry where consumers are price sensitive."

Airasia fined for not including taxes, charges in advertised air fares.

LOW-cost carrier Air Asia has been given a hefty fine for not including taxes and other charges on its website.

The airline was fined $200,000 in the Federal Court in Melbourne today for contravening the single pricing provision of the Australian Consumer Law.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said the case followed a ten month period during which the www.airasia.com website did not display some airfare prices inclusive of all taxes, duties, fees and other mandatory charges "in a prominent way and as a single figure".

The fine related to flights between Melbourne and Macau, London, Ho Chi Minh City, New Delhi, Hangzhou and Chengdu as well as from Perth to Taipei, Phuket, Osaka, London, Ho Chi Minh City and Hangzhou and from the Gold Coast to Ho Chi Minh City.

Within ASEAN, which AirAsia now considers its home market after moving its regional headquarters from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta earlier this year, Lion has already overtaken AirAsia as the largest LCC group. According to CAPA and Innovata data, the Lion Group now accounts for 32% of the LCC seat capacity within Southeast Asia, compared to 30% for the AirAsia Group.

In the wider Asia-Pacific market, AirAsia is still larger, but not by much, accounting for 16% of total LCC capacity compared to 15% for Lion, 11% for Jetstar and 4% for much smaller and weaker Tiger.

LCCs overall now account for roughly one quarter of total capacity within Asia-Pacific and about a half of total capacity within Southeast Asia.

With its latest 100-aircraft order, AirAsia inches past Lion in what has become a high profile competition to have the largest order book in Asia. But Lion’s ambitious CEO and owner, Rusdi Kirana, will likely not let Mr Fernandes have the final word. More orders from both groups are likely given their bullishness on the Asian LCC market.

Traditionally Jetstar and Tiger have been seen as the biggest rivals to AirAsia as all three have worked over the last decade (with various degrees of success) in establishing pan-Asian LCC groups.

Lion, thanks to its very strong position in the fifth biggest domestic market in the world, has emerged as a larger airline group than Jetstar and Tiger, although predominantly still domestic.

AirAsia has been hinting it would need to order more A320s since the day it ordered 200 A320neos at the 2011 Paris air show, pointing out at the time it would need to order another 125 aircraft to reach its goal of a 500-aircraft fleet.

The deal for 100 additional A320/A320neos has been talked about all year and has been imminent since Sep-2012, when it was close to being completed for the Berlin air show.

AirAsia briefly considered instead ordering 100 Bombardier CSeries CS300, but as CAPA reported in Sep-2012 AirAsia’s stated interest in the CSeries was apparently more a negotiating tactic to wrangle a better price from Airbus for additional 180-seat A320s although the group could later re-look at the 160-seat CS300.

Historical high: Rm4.20
Now trading at : Rm2.58

Next downside target: Rm .....????

Any prediction, folks! Hahahahahahahahah!!

Next downside target Rm2.47? Folks, only time will tell!

AirAsia is taking the threat of increased competition with Lion, which is planning to launch a new affiliate in AirAsia’s home market of Malaysia in 2013, very seriously.

It’s no surprise AirAsia is using the latest order in part to accelerate expansion in Malaysia, where it will aim to beat new Lion subsidiary Malindo into oblivion, and in Lion’s home market of Indonesia.

The latest AirAsia order comprises 36 A320s and 64 A320neos.

The 36 additional A320s means AirAsia is now expected to take 93 of the current generation aircraft between 2013 and 2016, based on CAPA calculations.

The additional 64 A320neos means AirAsia is now committed to take 264 of the re-engined variant, far more than any other A320 customer, with deliveries expected from the end of 2015 or early 2016 through 2026.

Indonesia's Lion Air Group, which has quietly overtaken AirAsia as the largest LCC group within Southeast Asia (albeit mostly domestic), captured headlines in late 2011 when it one-upped AirAsia’s order for 200 A320neos from mid-2011 by committing to 201 737 MAXs.

The AirAsia Group has followed through on promises to order another 100 A320s, enabling it to accelerate expansion at its fast-growing portfolio of low-cost carriers. The new order, announced on 13-Dec-2012, means the group is now committed to more than 350 A320/A320neo deliveries over the next 14 years.

While adding aircraft at an average pace of 25 aircraft per year may seem ambitious, the reality is that even faster expansion is potentially sustainable given the fact that AirAsia now comprises of five A320 airlines in five distinct markets, all of which are rapidly growing.

Indeed, the real issue is more about keeping ahead of the field in Asia's booming short-haul low-cost market.

The proposed Batavia acquisition was seen as an attempt by AirAsia to close some of the gap with Lion in the Indonesian domestic market and therefore in the overall ASEAN market.

Lion in many respects has emerged as AirAsia’s biggest competitor and Mr Fernandes will not let Lion get in the way of his goal of maintaining AirAsia's leading position in the ASEAN market.

While Lion is primarily a domestic operator, it is expanding its international network in Indonesia and plans to launch in 2013 a new joint venture carrier in AirAsia’s original home market of Malaysia.

Clearly AirAsia is watching Lion closely as Lion determines where to place the 300-plus aircraft it has on order.
