		<description><![CDATA[Southwest Airlines (LUV) said on Friday that its August traffic grew 1.5% to 6.7 billion revenue passenger miles [RPM]. Load factor increased to 80.2% from 74.6% last year. However, capacity fell 6.1% from the prior-year period to 8.3 billion available seat miles. In August, Southwest Airlines reported second-quarter profit of $54 million on sales of $2.6 billion. Both revenue and net income declined from the prior year as the carrier was hurt by low demand for business travels. Unless demand rebounds, management sees third-quarter sales shrinking further from second-quarter levels. Southwest’s successful business model involves flying multiple short, quick trips into secondary airports of major markets and using only one type of aircraft, the Boeing 737. In addition to other cost-containment measures undertaken by the company, it has frozen hiring ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) announced today that it recorded a 2.1% decline in passenger traffic for June. The airline flew 6.7 billion revenue passenger miles (RPMs) last month, compared to 6.9 billion RPMs in the year-ago period. Available seat miles (ASMs), which indicate capacity, decreased 3.8% to 8.5 billion. The low-cost carrier also launched one of the biggest fare sales in the company&#8217;s history, in which one-way tickets priced between $30 and $90 are on offer to customers for a period of 2 days. This move by Southwest comes after major airlines raised fares last month in an effort to improve sales. Meanwhile, 8 of 13 covering analysts lowered expectations on the company&#8217;s full-year earnings over the past month, sending the consensus down by 10 cents to 26 cents per ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team If the markets weren’t walking on eggshells already, they didn’t need an outbreak of swine flu to put them back in the intensive care ward. We’ve been looking for proximate causes for a pullback in the markets, but swine flu wasn’t one of them. For the ultra-cynical, start shorting airline stocks like Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), and buying any biotech that has to do with flu vaccines or heap masks. It’ll be the knee-jerk reactions to any whisper of plague. But it might be too late to go that route for investors; the biggest gains have already been made. For traders it’s a different story – they should love the volatility this adds. For investors looking for what’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows or knows someone who knows a “Debbie Downer.” That acquaintance or friend that just won’t let you have a good time. They always seem to pull the good times down and ruin the party for the rest of us. You can find Debbie Downers in the stock market as well. Today’s example is Mattel (NYSE: MAT). After it reported lower earnings and an 11% drop in sales, it dragged Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) down with it. The reasoning behind most of these moves is that the pressures hurting one company in a sector should be impacting the competition as well. But that isn’t always the case. We can find numerous examples of companies in the same industry with the same pressures that deal with those challenges differently. Southwest Airlines ]]></description>
