I'm new to holding ALK but have great sympathy for those who invested earlier, as I invested years ago in that other company that starts with an A and shares the very same board and major shareholder (now minus JD) as ALK. Like others I lost a motza as an investor in the greatest U discovery in 25 years. The directors did not lose money, only their shareholders trust. So I don't invest anymore, but I did buy ALK at a price the directors paid with heir own money (recent CR). ... Different companies, different commodities and different market sentiment I know ... But same board and control,  and so I find the patterns interesting, if nothing else. .. Can't help feeling there's a good announcement not too far down the track. Hope I've learned fom past mistakes this time
