    How Will Rising Fuel Prices Impact Demand for Aircraft? -- Boeing Comments [view article]
    Good comments. Larger more fuel efficient planes.....hmmmm. That implies only long haul routes will be serviced which is probably likely. Fuel efficient jet planes is an oxymoron. I think the wave of the future even long haul are MUCH SLOWER fuel efficient aircraft, maybe even a return to prop aircraft at least for less affluent travelers. Big aircraft also need big airports. Say goodbye to jet service in small to medium towns. Say good bye to new airport construction. Perhaps new train service could use the empty degrading air terminals but likely not. Most are too far from city centers to have any value.If Boeing is betting its future on big jet aircarft as its only business model, your logical purchase of BOEING stock is a short. They may be able to sell aircraft to KSA, Dubai and the Gulf states for a while, and then what? Reply

    Just because high oil price is not good for US, it doesn't mean it is not good for oil producing countries. What we are seeing right now is wealth transfer from the west to the east. Middle east is booming. Russia is booming. The people in these countries and becoming rich and powerful. Their demand for new planes will grow. Reply

    More people fly today (even with the high cost of fuel) than they did even 5 years ago. To stay competative they have got to be more efficeint. That means fewer planes, but new bigger, more fuel efficient planes. Air traffic in recent years has been a limiting factor. When air travel picks back up, and it will in the next couple of years (contrary to your prediction past tense). Those that made the investment in larger more fuel efficient aircraft will be able to fill their alloted takeoffs with more butts in the seats, be more effiecient and be better off for it. Expect demand for larger, more fuel effiecent planes to be in high demand for years to come. Yes, even in tough economic times. Airlines know they have to keep up with the efficencies of the competition or die due to short sighted cost cutting. Reply

    It doesn't matter if only 10% of sales are from the US; high fuel prices impact airplanes throughout the world. While Boeing sales will hold up for the next couple years because of the order book, after that I expect a substantial decline--the airlines just won't be ordering new aircraft when they don't need the aircraft (because their traffic will be way done) and because they are too broke to pay for them.

    Dividend Stocks: Good News / Bad News [view article]
    I own both stocks mentioned and recently added a bit to BAC. I don't think these companies are going out of business and I have owned them for a long time. I listen to CNBC and hear all this panic and wonder who is listening. Stocks go up and stocks go down.... Reply

    I know people who sold BAC on Meredith Whitney's claims. I didn't. In fact, based on pure animal instinct that perhaps Meredith Whitney was a woman scorned and thus spewing her fury, I bought more. And wasn't it a pleasant surprise that I gained? Perhaps I should buy more, just out of spite. Ms. Whitney may be an intelligent woman but I'm following that scent of cash. Reply

    The comment regarding the BBT dividend is a little dated as they announced a one penny increase yesterday. The dividend was raised from 46 cents to 47 cents per quarter. Reply

    Midcap and Smallcap Beneficiaries From Boeing's New 787 Dreamliner [view article]
    I don't know whether anyone has noticed this, but if you do a search for "787" in the search box to the right, and then filter by Transcripts, you get the transcript of every company that mentioned the Dreamliner on its conference call. That means every supplier, even the small ones you might not have caught until now.

    Fast Money Recap, 4/9/08: Airlines MayTake Off [view article]
    Anyone who not only watches this slimiest group of touts/thieves/liars, but actually follows their recommendations, deserves to lose money.
    CNBC reached down into a toilet and came up with this group.
    As if Cramer wasn't bad enough, this den of thieves makes Cramer look sainted.
