The Boeing Company: Positive Gains Around the Corner

The aviation industry has been struggling over the last year with the major American airlines down as much as 70% in value. The high price in oil combined with the weakening US economy which has led to a slow down in passenger numbers has continued to provide a gloomy out look for airlines, although this will not be a long term factor.

Now you would assume this devaluation of airline stock would affect companies such as Boeing (BA). Boeing dropped 43.3% from the October 2007 high of $107.15 and reached its 52 week low of $60.77 on August 2 and then rallied to $67.86 (August 8 close).
