| March 10, 2008 More

Losing altitude. Airline stocks gave up early gains and are trading lower after crude oil made a move above $107 a barrel. LCC, which initiated a fare increase Friday to offset higher fuel costs, is caught in the downdraft. The stock was recently down 60 cents to $10.39. Volume is already running four times normal and is overwhelmingly bearish (87 percent), as players snapped up more than 9,000 of the LCC April 10 and 7.5 puts.
