Start with a lot of money.
Mr Branson is trying to borrow money for his airline by borrowing money, and using his island in the Caribbean as collateral.
The question to ask is how much did he make over the years he owned the stock? Then the drop won't look as bad. (but still bad, no matter how you look at it)
So far, it's been very, very hard to make money long-term in the airline world.

You only lose if you sell. Delta is still the best run domestic/international US airline. It'll come back. Buffett buys for the long term.
BaltACD Warren doesn't panic.
Warren doesn't panic.
He turns 90 in a few weeks, and he never invests what he can't afford to lose. Warren will be just fine. As for other BH investors.. maybe not so much. Blindly following someone else is no substitute for using one's own noggin..
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
He'll bounce back.
last trade today 7/28/20 was 192.72....if you got the stock a when it first came out you still are doing ok
