I think some fund managers believe that there are more opportunities to exploit pricing inefficiencies in companies outside US. Similar to the micro cap argument.
I do think it's pretty cool that airline companies/stocks are finally figuring it out.
Only took greatest destruction of capital in free world for what...20-30 years?
Attended a beautiful Christmas dinner party last night at a local winery...
