… and in steps a savior who will be sending some of his assets to 'money heaven'* (because this investment is not going to go well for Mr Fredrikson).
This may be enough cash to get the company to the summer season; we'll have to see what's announced in the earnings call.

This will be a significant dilution of the stock so I don't think they'll be able to get away another secondary offering after this one. However, if this goes through, It will keep the airline operating for a while longer.


* Money heaven - I love that term; and have used it whenever I see malinvestments after reading the former Icelandic billionaire explaining where peoples' Icesave money went. Short article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...ey-heaven.html

I rank an investment in Norwegian Air as even worse than bitcoin, beanie babies, baseball cards, and tulips. It's been more than 175 years since 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds' was first published and the public still hasn't learned. PT Barnum was correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%...n_every_minute
