OIL PRICES: WHAT INVESTORS SHOULD KNOW NOW?

Dear readers, as the oil prices move higher and higher, I could not help but think of one stock sector: airline stocks. Why? Well, if oil prices go up then it will mean an increase in cost to airlines. Thus, investors vested in airline stocks need to take note on how increasing oil prices mean to airlines stocks.

Talking about airlines stocks, the books which I have read all shared that these are not actually the best stocks to own. When oil prices are down, it normally means the economy is not good hence travellers mainly cut down on travel and flying to overseas countries. And if oil prices are high, it means higher costs to airline companies.
Last time, we have Tiger Airways stock and now we have only SIA stock. And I understand SIA is integrating SilkAir, Scoots and Tiger Airways all under its wings.
