An odd day in the stock portfolio - made money with DTO and an oil company :confused:

I'm enjoying PBT which set a new 52-week high the other day.

It will be, believe it or not, our first time flying together (not counting an EWR-LGW r/t with a big group for a choir tour when we had never even spoken to one another :p). And it all starts with a p.s. flight at 6 AM...

Would definitely be fun to do some with the fellow EWR/PHL-based Boxizens!!

Yeah, but off-peak fares to HKG regularly dropped to $800-$900 (sometimes even less) in previous years.

I have thoroughly enjoyed riding in cars with boxers, so I can imagine flying is even better. ;)

I think he's talking if/when scenarios.

I'm PGH (set high Monday) - I already had holdings and dumped in HTE proceeds the day the takeover was announced. You might recall I sold immediately knowing there was no more upside or distributions to come.

Yeah, HTE finally delisted a few weeks ago. I got a nice profit out of it before, though.

I got out at $9.26 (after commission) and redeployed immediately for a fortuitous second gain.

I just read that we will soon be test selling Pomegranate Martinis mixes on the 737-900 series for a month, beginning in February. Price $8.00, includes the mix and Skyy Vodka. $3.00 only for the mix. They are also going to offer 'fufu water', a pre-mixed cappuchino drink and Mojito Mixes.

Are the new drinks definitely free in F? If not, $8 is a little pricey for a drink on a plane.

I just re-read the announcement and it appears that this price is for the Main Cabin, assuming that it will be free in F.

Glaceau Smartwater $3 or one drink chit
Illy Chilled Cappuccino $3 or one drink chit
Stirring Simple Pomegranate Martini with Skyy Vodka $8 or two drink chits
Stirring Simple Mojito Mix with Bacardi Light Rum $8 or two drink chits

Is not possible.

The only two SQ options for *A members are LAX-NRT-SIN or JFK-FRA-SIN.

SFO-HKG/ICN-SIN are 77Ws.

Seatguru says yes, but I thought I heard conflicting info.
