You seem to have missed the point. Both Boeing and GE are well enough managed companies that they're not making that mistake... although your other criticisms of their management are apt, well founded, and valid... I quit being GE fan when they decided to become a finance company... which proved prescient... and I left Boeing long before Boeing left Everett/Seattle... but, again, for reasons other than management being wrong about price versus cost. Boeing moving out of Washington is a proof they do understand that issue... even if the managers who do understand that... don't have a clue about software engineering.. or why airplanes can fly. Covered all that in the wake of the 737 issues... long before the market got it sorted. Otherwise, re investment in Boeing now... I'm still not interested... but there's almost zero risk in Boeing stock tied to an engine failure. Boeing doesn't make engines. The failure will likely be attributed either to the engine maker... or, more likely, to shoddy maintenance practices by the operator: United Airlines. Engines don't just blow up for no reason... but, when they do blow up and fail catastrophically... its not unusual for metal to fly... as often occurs in explosions. That it happened "over Denver suburbs"... might suggest the cause was ingesting a large bird... or a drone. It would prove a perfect trifecta, still... if it turns out to be a GE engine... and a United maintenance issue... as United... once a favorite... is now far and away my least favorite airline to fly... But that's as my most traveled route has ONLY United service... and the route I fly is their rubber route... which is enormously frustrating. Otherwise, no, I didn't "just figure this out"... but while we wait for you to figure it out... will note I just posted a mention of it, again... which you appear to have misunderstood... to connect the awareness of the "product price versus cost" planning issue... to focus it on crypto... Yours suggests you do not... so others might not... understand that relation I'm pointing at... Not sure I can make a clearer case though... so mark it failure to communicate.
