Since the pandemic began, I’ve been bullish on U.S. airline equities, including American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), as I predicted that demand for flights in the U.S. this summer would far surpass the Street’s average estimates, but as summer starts to wind down it’s unclear that AAL stock is still a buy.

This year has been potentially one of the most challenging years for energy stocks. In a historic event, oil prices traded in negative territory.
