Let's start with the plot twist nobody asked for: the Trump administration is reportedly in advanced talks on a $500M rescue package for Spirit Airlines, potentially giving the US government up to 90% ownership of the carrier. Meanwhile, Bloomberg notes low-cost carriers have been disasters — Frontier down 80%, JetBlue down ~75% over five years. Spirit isn't a turnaround story, it's a cautionary tale with a government credit card.
While Spirit limps, $BA is quietly glowing up. Boeing reported cash burn of just $1.45B vs. the $2.6B analyst estimate, deliveries up 10%, and revenue up 14%. The CEO says production is moving from 42 to 47 aircraft per month this summer. Joseph Carlson's channel flagged the broader market recovery — NASDAQ 100 up 17% since the March 30th dip — and the buy-the-dip crowd is feeling very smug right now.
Bitcoin hit $79,180, spot ETFs logged six straight days of positive flows adding $1.5B, and Strategy dropped $2.5B on a single BTC purchase. The Hormuz blockade, the Fed chair drama, the AI chip race — somehow the market is just... vibing. What a time to be alive and confused.
