Freeus, (maybe the employees arent so good to them?)

The problem employees are probably union. I was in the teamsters years ago when I worked for General Dynamics and was amazed by what it took to fire a bad employee! The union was nice to me in regards to cost of living raises though. :)

I looked at BA about a year ago or so and it was around $90, did it split? With all the shakeout in defense over the years I would think there might be some good buys, but then in this market right now I'm scared to do anything! I thought buying back my COMS shares at 48 was good! I don't feel that bad though as I really believe COMS will come back and give us a good ride...

BTW, it was damn cold last night with below zero windchill factors. Hope your kids bundled up good!

freeus,

I grew up in a "Boeing family" my dad was a manager there. This is a very cyclical business. My family has traded this stock for over 40 years. Now is not the time to invest in them, especially with the problems digesting the MD merger. The production ramp-up caught them totally by surprise.

Are they a great company, Yes! But wait for a downturn in a few years and you could have a double or a triple.

Best of luck,

Eric
