Berkshire Hathaway acquired some 976,000 Delta shares in February for roughly $45.3 million, according to a filing last Monday, raising its total holdings to 17.9 million shares. This was enough to bring Buffett\u2019s ownership of the U.S. long-haul carrier up to more than 11 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/investor-library\/frank-talk\/surprise-buffett-books-a-flight-on-airline-stocks\">critic of airline stocks,<\/a>&nbsp;Buffett has become one of their greatest champions, noting the industry\u2019s strong fundamentals and the fact that it\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/investor-library\/frank-talk\/these-factors-show-why-buffett-likes-airlines-again\">protected by an economic moat.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accumulating shares now appears to be a strategic move to capitalize on lower fuel costs\u2014Brent crude oil is in freefall so far this year\u2014as well as coronavirus-impacted travel, which has depressed airline stock prices. Fuel is one of the biggest expenses for airlines, and those not already hedged to prices could see benefits from lower prices due to the Russia-Saudi Arabia production dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffett isn\u2019t alone in thinking airlines look like a steal right now. In a note to clients last week, Citigroup analyst Stephen Trent maintained his Buy ratings on Delta, United Airlines and Spirit Airlines, writing that \u201cif coronavirus concerns fade in the coming weeks and the U.S. is able to avoid recession, this scenario could see a recovery in ex-Asia demand, which could lead airline stock prices and earnings streams to stabilize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, the domestic airline industry could soon&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-03-06\/kudlow-favors-timely-and-targeted-fiscal-response-to-virus\">receive fiscal stimulus<\/a>&nbsp;in the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic. Speaking to various business news networks on Friday, National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow hinted that the U.S. government is considering \u201ctimely and targeted micro-measures\u201d for certain industries, including airlines, hospitality and agricultural. It\u2019s unclear at the moment what those measures might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kudlow ruled out a large-scale economic stimulus package similar to the one passed in response to the global financial crisis, calling the idea a \u201cbudget buster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airline-stocks-on-sale-most-discounted-since-9-11\">Airline Stocks on Sale, Most Discounted Since 9\/11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As one the most exposed industries to global travel disruptions, airlines have seen a deeper selloff than the market and now look like an attractive bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, COVID-19 has had a far greater impact on global airline stocks than the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic did. The chart below shows the daily percent change of the NYSE Arca Global Airlines Index starting on the day of the first reported incident of either infection\u2014November 15, 2002 in the case of SARS, December 31, 2019 in the case of COVID-19. Airline stocks found their bottom on the 77th trading day into the SARS epidemic, down approximately 25 percent. They exceeded that level in close to half the time during the COVID-19 outbreak, falling 25.72 percent on the 42nd trading day. Airlines were off about 30 percent as of Thursday\u2019s close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/COMM-impact-sars-covid-airlines-03062020.png\" alt=\"Impact of SARS and VOVID-19 on Global Airline stocks\" class=\"wp-image-38178 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/COMM-impact-sars-covid-airlines-03062020.png 600w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/COMM-impact-sars-covid-airlines-03062020-300x158.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; aspect-ratio: 600\/315;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) for the airlines index, going all the way back to 2001. It shows that airline stocks right now are the most oversold since September 2001. The RSI hit 13.9 on March 3, the lowest it\u2019s been since September 21, 2001, just days after 9\/11, when the index was at 7.7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously there are multiple factors investors should consider, including time period and asset class, but as a general rule, when the RSI falls below 30, it\u2019s been a good buy signal, and anything below 20 has been a screaming buy. Buffett presumably knew this before the rest of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"334\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-airline-stocks-most-oversold-03062020.png\" alt=\"Airline stocks most oversold since 9\/11. 2001-2020\" class=\"wp-image-185842 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-airline-stocks-most-oversold-03062020.png 600w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-airline-stocks-most-oversold-03062020-300x167.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; aspect-ratio: 600\/334;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-more-qe-on-the-way\">Is More QE on the Way?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We may not get a huge spending package, but&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/investor-library\/frank-talk\/is-the-fed-gearing-up-for-a-new-round-of-quantitative-easing-here-are-the-possible-signs\">don\u2019t rule out quantitative easing (QE).<\/a>&nbsp;You can see the amount of money printing the Federal Reserve had to do in the days following the 2008 crisis.

The Fed has cut rates between regularly scheduled policy meetings only six times since 1998, and in each instance, it cut rates again at its next meeting\u2014March 17, in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional cuts could send short-term yields to 0 percent, says DoubleLine Capital CEO&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/03\/05\/bond-king-gundlach-says-fed-panicked-and-short-term-rates-are-headed-toward-zero.html?__source=newsletter%7Ceveningbrief\">Jeffrey Gundlach.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will see short rates headed toward zero,\u201d the billionaire said on CNBC\u2019s \u201cHalftime Report. \u201cI\u2019m in the camp that the Fed is going to cut rates again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not wrong. On Friday, the nominal yield on the 10-year Treasury plunged below 0.7 percent for the first time ever as investors sought shelter from the equity selloff. (As of this morning, the 10-year had fallen even further to just 0.57 percent.) This had the effect of lifting gold prices up nearly 8 percent last week, its best weekly advance since 2008. The yellow metal\u2019s next test is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/investor-library\/frank-talk\/gold-set-to-test-1-700-resistance-as-u-s-yields-fall-to-record-lows\">$1,700 an ounce.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jpmorgan-buy-the-dip\">JPMorgan: Buy the Dip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There could be other deals than airline stocks for bargain hunters. Last Monday, the S&amp;P 500 Index touched 20 on the RSI, only its seventh time to do so since the turn of this century. According to CLSA, stocks have historically been up 86 percent of the time 10 trading days following these conditions. That would put us at March 16 if we\u2019re using March 2 as day one. We\u2019ll see then if the probability holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"639\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-us-stocks-only-their-seventh-extreme-buy-signal-03062020-LG.png\" alt=\"U.S. Stocks flashed only their seventh extreme buy signal since 2000. 2000-2020\" class=\"wp-image-185839 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-us-stocks-only-their-seventh-extreme-buy-signal-03062020-LG.png 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-us-stocks-only-their-seventh-extreme-buy-signal-03062020-LG-700x497.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-us-stocks-only-their-seventh-extreme-buy-signal-03062020-LG-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/COMM-us-stocks-only-their-seventh-extreme-buy-signal-03062020-LG-768x545.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/639;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>JPMorgan strategists seconded the bullish call, advising clients this week to buy the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe expect the impact of COVID-19 to be temporary and mitigated by broad policy stimulus, even as the virus spread is proving more severe than anticipated,\u201d wrote bank analysts in a note.
