That divergence comes as investors prepare for additional fallout in U.S. stocks should military action in Ukraine escalate in the days ahead, but shows that they are less concerned about the longer-term consequences of the crisis.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

    Bankrupt carrier American Airlines (NASDAQOTH: AAMRQ  ) is on track to merge with smaller rival US Airways (NYSE: LCC  ) later this year. Last week, the two companies filed a proxy statement, which details the proposed terms of the merger and provides other information for investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the merger. This proxy statement includes financial projections that are very bullish.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Shares of United Continental have dropped 0.6% to $31.11 today at 11:33 a.m., while Delta has gained 1.2% to $26.63, US Airways has risen 1.8% to $23.07 and AMR Corp. (AAMRQ) has risen 1.7% to $7.02.

  • [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

    United's high cost structure might be manageable if it could sustain a revenue premium against competitors like Delta and AMR (NASDAQOTH: AAMRQ  ) . However, United was the worst airline in the U.S. according to most customer service metrics in 2012, destroying customer goodwill. Unless the company can make a miraculous turnaround and justify higher fares than competitors, United's high cost structure will doom it to mediocrity in the long run.

    Equities Trading UP
    AMR Corporation (OTC: AAMRQ), the parent company of American Airlines, gained 8.11 percent to $11.46 after a judge rejected a bid to block the AMR US Air merger on price claims.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By James E. Brumley]

    In retrospect, their pullbacks come as no real surprise. Neither Voxeljet AG (NYSE:VJET) nor Camtek LTD. (NASDAQ:CAMT) saw their shares soar on any news that was meaningfully sustainable, and after the "shoot first, ask questions later" market had a chance to start asking questions, it became clear that - even with the largest of glimmers of corporate progress unveiled a few weeks ago - CAMT and VJET both had been bid up more on hype and less on substance. Meanwhile (and this could be bitterly ironic to some), a small cap play in the same 3D printing space that (1) didn't beat the daylights out of its hype-drum, and (2) is actually much closer to bringing a revenue-bearing product to the market [per today's news - more on that below] isn't getting anywhere near the same attention. That company? Makism 3D Corp. (OTCBB:MDDD). The good news is, MDDD finally looks like it's revving its engine, while Camtek and Voxeljet AG shares continue to deteriorate.
