AXP – thinks it is cheap at $96 as they expect $4 to $5 earnings this year and double that in a couple of years – commercial paper funded during financial crisis, now deposit & long-term debt, used to charge merchants more but now the same, etc. So, now very advantaged.

AAL – sold as it is leveraged and it fell only like others who have strong balance sheets – so, EV did not go down as much, so sold… MTCH – tinder is not monetized 90% of users.Regulatory filings thru 5/31/2020: None."
