Boeing's 747 Dreamliner and CDS / Equity Ratio

Sorry..i missed your point.

Gone Nowhere in 8 Years

SEC and the government should be accountable for failing average hard working men and women. The market is slowly becoming a legalized gambling. Everyday it is becoming hard to trust the company executive making the best decision for the share holders. It is unfortunate that the CEO are driven by greed and short term gain. This is huge structural flaw that will continue to hurt the companies as well as the small investors.

What we saw in the last ten years with Ernorn, Mci,the financial system collapose (or near collapse), Maddof and etc are just the tip of the iceburg and a symptom of what's wrong with the system.

I for one, I don't have stock market passion as once I did. I am slowly avoiding stock market and getting into commodities and other tanagable investments. I have been investors since 1998 (right after college) and quite honestly I've learned that the system is not designed to make money for small investors.

Boeing Delivery and Order Numbers: Read 'Em and Weep

Boeing Drags Its Heels on Air Force Bid

I am not an American nor live in US but I am BA share holder. It boggles my mind why US Air Force is willing and wanting to give the contact for a foreign company. Based on what I read, both companies (BA and Airbus) are presenting comparable product to the air force. I do realize BA's proposal which is based on 767 is smaller but BA can also use the 777 given enough time to bid.

I am not saying other countries don't buy foreign products but for most part they buy foreign products because the foreign product is much better and it's no way comparable.

I don't know but I just feel that Air Force is willing to do anything to make it harder for a domestic company. If anything, they should make it easier.

How Will Rising Fuel Prices Impact Demand for Aircraft? -- Boeing Comments

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.

Is Boeing Ready To Take Off?

It's a good news that no airline has canceled 787 orders but the bad news is that the cost of making 787 is going up drastically due to inflation.
I read an interview with a CEO of African/Asian airline why the airline is not canceling their 787 orders. His response was that the price of 787 has gone up so much since the airline put the order 2-3 years ago, it makes no sense for the airline to cancel their order at this time. I guess the only problem I see with the backlogs is that the profit margin on these orders may continue to shrink as materials to make those planes rise.
