Boeing's Back With a Future
By Nate Wooley - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: ERJ, LMT, BA
It's really unfair to say that Boeing (NYSE: BA) is back, when it never really left.
It's true that Boeing has had some problems recently. The flap with the batteries in the 787 Dreamliner was the sort of news that public relation's disasters are made from: high profile, good imagery for the networks, and an issue (air safety) that always grabs the public's attention. As a more »

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
By Candice Munroe - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: BDRAF.PK, F, GM, BA
I'm not much for investing in transportation stocks. Their cyclical nature makes me uneasy. Their volatile nature makes market timing a difficult game. That being said, I think there are some fabulous deals in the area that are now worth the extra effort.
Automobiles
Ford (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) have definitely seen better days. They used to enjoy moderate competition between themselves and Chrysler, and now more »

FAA Cracking Down On Boeing
By Tyler Wofford - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: DAL, LUV, BA, UAL
In January, Boeing (NYSE: BA) saw international aviation officials ground the entire 787 Dreamliner fleet worldwide. Batter problems had led to smoke and small fires on some flights, but the company has a fix for that problem and looks to get its planes back in the air. That's good news for them. However, federal aviation officials are now grounding more than 1,000 of Boeing's jets for a more »

Is Boeing Still A Buy After The Recent Gains?
By Matthew Frankel - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: EADSY.PK, NOC, BA
The world’s largest manufacturer of commercial jets, Boeing (NYSE: BA), has long been a favorite of mine. I wrote about Boeing a while back, where I basically said that the issues they are experiencing with their new aircraft, the 787 Dreamliner, are relatively minor and won’t tremendously impact the bottom line. I still wholeheartedly believe this, and it appears the entire market has shrugged off Boeing’s problems more »

Will the Durable Goods Industry Be a Good Long-Term Buy?
By Roberto Bañaga - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: MMM, BA, UTX
A jump in U.S. durable goods orders, rebound in demand for commercial aircraft, and business investment in new equipment have contributed to higher than expected growth this year for companies such as 3M (NYSE: MMM), United Technologies (NYSE: UTX), and Boeing (NYSE: BA).
Financial analysts say the demand was further boosted by an uptrend in manufacturing activity, capital spending, and demand for autos, leading to the longest stretch of more »

Invest in Companies Investing in Outer Space
By Reuben Brewer - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: LMT, ORB, BA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is at a crossroads. Corporate America is taking the reins. This could be a long-term investment opportunity for intrepid investors.
The space shuttle
Not long ago, the last U.S. space shuttle was retired. It was a sad day for NASA and the United States because there is no spacecraft to replace it. That means this country has to hitch a ride on more »

3 Industrial Stocks to Buy
By Zain Abbas - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: CMI, ST, BA
The financial sector displayed the most growth in 2012. However, for 2013, the experts predict that Industrials will be the sector of the year, given expected growth in the developing economies. Therefore, I have shortlisted some stocks from this space that are expected to bring capital gains to investors.
Boeing (NYSE: BA)
I have always liked Boeing, especially after James McNerney took over the reins last year. I have always more »

Longer Lives Could be a Disaster for These Companies
By Reuben Brewer - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, GE, BA, GT
The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted two scary statistics: More than half of the U.S. population doesn't have enough to retire on and increasing life expectancy could add materially to companies' pension woes. That combination is likely to create problems for these companies.

In a recent survey, the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 57% of workers had less than $25,000 in household assets, excluding more »

Airplane Stocks Pay for Patience
By Nihar Patel - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: FLY, NOC, BA
I have seen passing references to the problem Boeing (NYSE: BA) has had with the Dreamliner battery, but never really looked into it. The stock seems to be unaffected, but I think if it can announce a fix it will push the stock a bit further. Considering it is pushing its 52-week high in the last few weeks I think it is better to ignore the short-term, and focus on more »

3 Reasons It's Time for a Rest for This Stock
By Chad Henage - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: GE, JCI, BA, UTX |
Let me be clear, I don't believe in trying to time the market, but I do believe in looking at stocks relative to their peers and assessing how attractive they are. Sometimes this means you'll find an opportunity where the market is underestimating an opportunity. However, what I've found also are times where the best thing investors can do is wait to add to a position. This more »

I Am Not Too Positive About General Electric
By Ron Chatterjee - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: C, GE, PHG, SI, BA, UTX
General Electric's (NYSE: GE) stock price surged a whopping 140% in the last 2 years! That in itself is huge news for the investors. Congrats to the people who entered the trade in the right time, but the real question is where the price is heading from here onward.
If you are curious what the analysts have to say, let us look at the table below. While most analysts more »

The 4 Reasons I Own This Stock
By Chad Henage - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: LMT, NOC, RTN, BA
Peter Lynch used to say that you should know enough about a company to tell its “story” in just a minute or two. I bought Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) because of their high yield, and relatively cheap valuation. I also thought that Lockheed could increase their margins, which would cause better earnings in the future. Let's see how these assumptions stack up next to the company's recent performance more »
