I bought at 300 and sold at 428. I thought I may have gotten out early because it kept going up but I think it was the right move now. Mostly luck on my part.

BA is going to be fun tomorrow. Could be a trigger if it brings down the whole dow enough.
BA and JNJ are the only two Dow components which are down as I post this.

28 stocks up & 2 stocks down.

And the Dow Jones Index is down.

EDIT: I just did the math. If Boeing wasn't in the DJ, the DJ Index would be up over 200 points.

The runup was unreal, I went in at 315 thinking it was just too low, expecting to get back to the 390 range it was at in Oct, but it overshot it bigtime.

How disappointed are you that BA didn't drag the rest of the market down?

Well to be fair, it kinda did, and I'm the one who brought it up, not Doc Fenton

I get it but I'm kinda amazed, that at this point, it seems pretty certain, that BA's software played a huge role in both of these crashes in which 330 or so people died, and their stock drops 5%. If you step back for a second, it's kinda a dirty feeling as a huge BA holder. But it appears, we survived this one?

I also hold a good bit of LUV who dropped just because they have more 737's than anyone else; so this morning at the opening bell, I was trying not to look; however they both recovered pretty nicely.

Nah, all 29 of the other DJ stocks are up. Boeing is the only down stock in the DJ 30.

Which means BA didn't drag them down.

And I responded to Doc's "buckle up" post, not yours.

AAPL, +3.46%
AMZN, +3.07%
GOOG, +2.93%
NFLX, +2.65%
FB, +1.46%

Well I didn't see that coming. Helluva day for FAANG.

All while the terrible news on inventories and the underlying economy keep coming. Curious, to say the least.

If you were shorting the market for as long and for as much as Doc has been wouldn't you emphasize anything and everything negative no matter how trivial?

New orders for durable goods rose .4% in January (+0.5% including revisions to prior months), well above the consesus expected decline of -0.4%. Orders excluding transportation fell 0.1% in January (+ 0.1% including revisions to prior months), versus a consensus expected gain of 0.1%. Orders are up 8.4% from a year ago while orders excluding transportation are up 4.5%.



Or, read through Doc’s filter

“Orders excluding transportation fell in January, vs an expected gain”


So much negative news

The thing about it Doc is that there is always some kind of "terrible" news out there that bears can latch onto and say "see". Those are the bricks that make up the wall of worry that confounds bears and makes bulls richer. It’s important to know what kinda of long term market we are in and we are in a long term bull market. If you are shorting the market during a long term bull market, you are making bets against the odds. That's a very difficult thing to do and is a guaranteed losing bet given enough time.

We are reaching a point that debt becomes unserviceable without severe consequences
What kind of consequences? They just keep printing fake money to prop up country and nothing changes. The whole system needs to be taken out of the private bankers hands and America needs to issue its own currency. Interest free at that. It's unbelievable that the American people let a few super rich private banks issue currency and charge the government interest on it that we have to end up paying in taxes. The whole federal reserve system is a sham and people are to stupid to understand it. There's nothing federal about it and there's nothing American about it.

Based on your post, I assume you are including yourself in that category, right?

Are you indicating that it's good news that they have completely capitulated on their policy direction? It's glaringly obvious to most investors that global aggregate demand is slowing. We made it an entire 225 bps and $400 billion in run off. Wow that's not a good look. But who cares, right? Buy stocks, Powell has put the hedge on for all of us.

Nah, I just don't think it's bullish. They also just admitted they started a game they can't win so that's fun.
