Boeing really needs to expand it's market, maybe a more aggresive sales force in Eastern Europe. All kidding aside, wouldn't you folks agree that Boeing botched just about everything in the past couple years...selling planes for no profit in a hot market, desperately hiring, then starting layoffs a year later. Fact is, Boeing is really top heavy...get rid of a lot of management is the best way to lean things up. One manager for every four workers, hideous. I personally would not touch the stock, though it could do a few quick dogs-of-the dow rallies. Other local companies Mike never wanted to touch... amzn and msft...even had put options for a short time on that last one. One great call which got away--would have bought Costco back in college after the '87 crash, alas, I had no money at that time. Always like to warn folks when I start posting on a thread;-)
