    By Helix Investment Management:In general, our investment philosophy is one that bypasses cyclical industries, such as energy or financials. We prefer to invest in companies with clear secular trends that go beyond economic cycles. One industry we have long avoided is airlines. Few sectors as a whole define the idea of cyclicality.

And yet, amidst all this, we have found a company that we think has a clear set of trends going for it. And that company is Delta Air Lines (DAL).The airline industry has been through a tremendous amount of upheaval in the past decade, with mergers, bankruptcies, and volatile jet fuel costs providing a constant source of drama.

      By Helix Investment Management:Airlines are a notoriously difficult business. From fuel costs to the capital intensity needed to run an airline, this industry is certainly a difficult one, unless you are Southwest (LUV), which is the only airline to have never filed for bankruptcy.

    • Delta's Refinery Buy Looking Better Every Day

      By Adam Levine-Weinberg:On April 30, Delta Air Lines (DAL) bought a 185,000 barrel per day (bpd) oil refinery in Trainer, Pa. from Conoco Phillips (COP).

      By Helix Investment Management:Airlines are a notoriously fickle business that, for years, have been subject to enormous volatility and risk. But in recent years, that has been changing.

    • Airline Industry: Focus On Delta

      By A. I. Houriani:In this past decade we've seen airlines go through plastic surgery, receiving facelifts and liposuctions across the board. Since 9/11, we've seen tremendous changes surrounding the airline industry: security, regulations, and operational costs. Overall, these variables have had tremendous, and far-bearing, negative impacts on the industry and especially on Delta Airlines, who filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 14, 2005.
