How to Interpret $LUV Trades
Not every insider transaction in SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO is a signal for immediate action.

It is crucial to distinguish between scheduled sales (under Rule 10b5-1) and voluntary increases in ownership, which demonstrate management’s true conviction that the stock is undervalued.
