However, I don't intend to buy any myself. I *always* lose money on oil and gas positions,

Way back in the early days of TMF & Datek, etc. I visited a well-regarded Financial Analyst to get a free overview & opinion of my stock portfolio.

He looked it over and said, "Your portfolio looks great, I don't see anything wrong. Except this.." and he circled my holding of United Airline.

He said "Everybody makes that mistake of owning an airline once in their life. They get fooled by how the numbers look. Sell that one."
