Takeaway
The presenter argues that the spike in crude oil has created a risk-off washout across markets, but has specifically created a short-term buying opportunity in airline stocks. He anticipates a "fierce bounce" in names like LUV and JetBlue within the next two to three days as the sell-off is overdone.
