12. This all sounds great, but can’t I ship my baggage myself? Yes. Just like you can change your own oil in your car. There are many freight companies that will transport your luggage if you ask. But, because it not their primary source of business, you will have to follow their procedures to ship your items. This may involve boxing your baggage, weighing it, filling out complex ground and air freight bills, handling your own tracking and tracing, contacting final destinations and possibly dropping off your items at the freight company’s location while being restricted to limited geographic areas. The concept of the Luggage Express Service is to eliminate all of these steps and aggravations by providing you with a single source of contact who will manage all of these issues for you while offering you a competitive or even more favorable price based upon our volume of shipping.

Yeh, but would YOU use this service? And how many people would actually entrust their precious luggage with this company that seems to have a relationship with the Arabs. Aren't Arabs why they created this biz? Great stock play, but longterm business investment? I say NAY.

What is the purpose for the existence of this company? The only people who will use this are people that have had EXTREME problems with misdirected luggage. Are there really THAT many people that will pay an extra couple hundred bux for this service? I am saying the fact that they are associated with "Arabs" will raise a red flag with many people who might have considered using the service. What was the issue everyone had with Dubai owning our ports?

MAX, How do you know you will have an option with your luggage? This has already been tested. It will probably be something worked out with the airlines.

3.5 million out of what? A billion? Most of the people who lost luggage are probably not frequent flyers. Would YOU pay for this service? Look, I'm not a basher, I wish I would have been in on the run and got out at .04, but I just don't see this as a service that will be around for long.

Max thinks this is a company you take your luggage to for shippment. Just think, if you went to the airport and all luggage to one destination was sent on another plane there would be mush less need to scan everything. Less people working for the airlines lowers the price of a ticket. Less TSA workers lowers prices. All in all it will probably average out to the same price and be safer.

Airline businesses are going bankrupt and this lil service will thrive? Would you invest in an airline stock?... cuz I wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, if this thing came back down to .000x I'd put a couple hundred into it for some flip action. But I am not putting longterm retirement money into a flakey business. You got stock in Dog Walking and Hired Shoppers?

I'll be honest, I don't want my luggage on another plane. There is an even bigger chance it will get lost or broken into. And if Terrorist fearing Americans find out there are "Arabs" involved, how many do you think will use the service? I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it affects business in a negative way.

Max, I had an airline stock I bought for $6000. and sold for $16,500. I'd buy back in it too. In fact I had more of it I bought and sold, then it went up $7.00 a share in the past 6 month. I should have kept it. You just have to buy the right one. I had AirTran. They are growing and making money.

I just looked at all their partners. A lot more names than I expected to see, and some big boy names in the list as well.

And I think this will focus primarily on 1st class passengers at first, especially business men and women who travel for their jobs. Their luggage is picked up from their house, and then they see it waiting at their hotel when they get to their destination.
Once it catches, this should greatly minimize the number of workers needed for security at the airport, as well as airport and airline staff. In the end, travel will be cheaper for everyone.

Do you ship your packages through the post office or UPS, FEDEX? Which gets the package there? All of them. And which is more likely to damage your shipment? The original one, the US Post Office. I'm sure your luggage will get there and in better shape.

I'm talking longterm. You flipped an airline stock, you didn't put retirement money into it. I'm not putting any REAL money into a stock that could be destroyed by a plane crash or terrorist strike.

MAX, I have no 401K All my money is retirement money. I'm selfemployed and all my retirement money is the $$ I'll make from stocks. Other than that I'll get SS if it still exists. And I disproved you point about buying an airline stock. Face it, you just need to always be right. Are you an only child?

I'm not bashing, just giving a bit of a reality check. Don't fall in love. The stock had a nice run to .04 and a fall to .018. There is a reason why it fell.

Which stock here doesn't make a run and then fall back? very very few. And it will do the same thing again and again.

The reason it fell is because...it quit going up....LOL
This stock has NEVER had any long term investment quality. It's always been just a crap shoot....buy low and sel higher hopefully.
I have been trading this stock for 5 years and have made money on it. I currently have a position and fully expect to make some more money before it tanks again.

The fact that you flipped ONE Airline stock and made some money, does not prove that investing in Airline stocks is the way to go. Even Cramer says that Airline stocks are a bad investment.

This is MY POINT. Some people early on were talking about this company like the business model is sound and they think it is a longterm hold or something. My only point is that it is good for playing the runs and flipping, but very little else.
