Yet another stock that looks good for the long haul (we're talking 2 decades). Airplanes are here to stay. The infrastructure is already in place in developed economies, and emerging markets China, India, and smaller countries will continue to build new airports, which will need airplanes to move back and forth from the new cities China continues to build, creating new growth opportunities for the Boeing Co regardless of the current temporary weakness in emerging markets today.

An Obama win is bad for defense business. McCain win not a positive either, as he'll be under even more pressure to reduce war spending if he pulls off a win. Defense industry has had a fantastic 8 year run, so no real upside vs. past 8 years which typically means multiple compression.
Airline bankruptcies have been small to date, but are still coming in (XL Airways for inst) rather consistantly. This puts extra used-plane inventory out there for "foreclosure"-like asking prices. Not exactly the kind of environment a new airplane m

I bought BA at $64.45. BA has strong operating cash flow; .88 PEG; 2.5% yield; 12.4% 5-year growth rate; and a rising 32% backlog. BA is under pressure by a machinist strike and a delayed $35 billion tanker bid. I'm not too worried by it. It looks like it's consolidating here as it attempts to break through the 50 DMA. RSI and MACD are both rising. I think it's worth a shot. If it falls below $61.64 I'll reconsider.
The decline in shares of Boeing (BA) has been significant over the last year. The stock has fallen 40% from $107 to $64 as high oil prices force most domestic airlines into heavy losses. The market appears to be acting as though Boeing's only customers are domestic airlines. If that were the case, one could certainly argue near-term earnings growth would be non-existent and the stock deserves the severe haircut it has seen (BA trades at 12 times trailing earnings, 11 times 2008 estimates, and 9 times 2009 estimates).
Investors need to keep in mind that Boeing will get 50% of its revenue fr
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).
Stock is moving off of recently lows. With price of oil dropping, airlines should have ability to increase expenditures for new equipment to replace aging and fuel inefficient fleets. BA is situated to get the lion's share of these new expenditures. Stock is technically oversold and is breaking out of the 60 - 65 base area on heavy volume. Next resistance is in the 85 - 88 area.
With the gloomy financial news coming out of Wall Street, it may be tempting to bail out of all US equities and invest in a Russian ETF. But that would be a bad decision. A bear market creates buying opportunities.
We invest to make money but your portfolio can also reflect your moral and nationalistic ideals. A country is a family. Everyone matters. Never quit. Never turn your back. I recommend buying innovative American companies with a significant customer base in emerging markets (line your pockets while reducing the trade imbalance). The current landscape is littered with good bargains
BA reached its 52 week low on 16 July and continued to rally up to its current price. With the price of oil sky rocketing in recent times and being the talk of the town as to where the price will go ($80 or $200 bl) the price of oil has weighed heavily on the financial survival of airlines and there is talk that this might impact BA sales and earnings. What should be considered is that BA is part of duopoly with Airbus being the major competitor. Although the current state of the economy might have an impact on the slow down in passenger numbers for the airlines this will not be a long term...
Boeing (BA) seems to have found large support in the range of $63 (I wish I posted this $4 ago). Hopefully, we will see this range again as some random event causes oil to spike and market to fall back from this 500 point rally.
This call is based on the hypothesis that fears of order cancellations are overblown. I think that this recent SURGE in airlines can result in stock being issued to afford these new fuel-efficient planes. However, this call does not depend on such a scenario.

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it would reopen bidding on a $35 billion contract for midair refueling tankers, the companie has battled fiercely to land the Air Force ’s largest contract, with a potential value of $100 billion. The contract, in its first phase alone, would provide for 179 aerial refueling tankers to replace the Air Force’s aging fleet, which is being strained by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has planes that date to the Eisenhower era.
For the moment i think that the market would react positivly to that news but it's too difficult (for long terme) to r...
The airlines are in trouble – no doubt about that. The airlines operating in the US are facing legacy costs in the form of pensions, rising fuel prices (fuel is 60% of operating costs for airlines), and a weakening consumer. Yes, things are bleak for the airlines of the United States, but I don’t buy the argument that things are as bleak for Boeing (BA). Ever since Goldman Sachs (GS) added BA to their conviction sell list on June 25, the stock has been in freefall – and at $65 I think it’s a darn good bargain.
