A second health worker who cared for an Ebola virus patient treated at a Texas hospital tested positive for the disease. She also reported having flown from Dallas to Cleveland and back while it was still possible that she could have the disease. The Ebola virus has an incubation period of up to twenty-one days. People do not become contagious until the exhibit symptoms. Although the disease does not spread through the air it is highly contagious when people come into contact with blood, vomitus, urine or feces. And simply touching an infected person has been shown to result in the disease. In this article we speculate about airline stock options in the era of Ebola. The disease in still spreading in West Africa and it may well be that air travel will be shut down in and out of the most greatly affected areas (Senegal, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leon and Nigeria. If the disease spreads significantly outside of Africa we can expect quarantines of travelers and cancellation of flight and entire routes. What will this do to airline stocks? Airline Stocks Take a Hit According to ABC News airline stocks fell on the news of a passenger subsequently being diagnosed with Ebola. News that a health worker diagnosed with Ebola flew on a commercial flight raised fear among airline investors that the scare over the virus could cause travelers to avoid flying. A top federal health official said Wednesday that the health care worker should not have flown on a commercial plane. Shares of the biggest U.S. airlines tumbled between 2 percent and 4 percent in afternoon trading. The overall market slumped on concerns about slowing global economic growth. Health officials do not believe that anyone will catch the disease because of this lady being on the plane but they also say that she really should not have been flying on a commercial jet until she had passed safely through the twenty-one day incubation period. The concern regarding Ebola may cause folks not to fly but more to the point if this disease gets out of hand we may see flights and routes totally shut down. Airlines Stocks and Options The Ebola epidemic in Africa may end up being contained and maybe not. The second health care giver case in Texas may be the end of it or not. How to approach airlines stocks in the meantime may well be to buy options instead of stocks. If you own stocks you might consider buying puts on those stocks. A long straddle is a useful approach if these stocks become volatile as a long straddle gives you a profit if the stock goes up or if it goes down. And, considering that the market is showing a correction and China is having problems and Europe may be heading into a recession, options on gold might be a good idea as well!
