Post Boeing Financial Report

I'm not sure if this should be in the off-topic section but: I just received an e-mail saying Boeing will be releasing its financial report on January 30. I am planning on purchasing some Boeing stock so, will the report make the price higher, lower, no significant change? Any help would be great.

Talking about stocks is like talking about religion or politics. I will say this, however: Boeing is a solid company with an average performance of 12% since inception. If you are planning to hold on to your stocks, 10 years should net you around 10-12% per year averaged. If you are looking stricktly at day trading, better strap in for a turbulent ride! If you'd like to diversify..get some stock in EADS also (Airbus) and you'll have a point-counterpoint investment. I do this in many solid performing stock, (i.e. Coke-Pepsi, IBM-APPLE)....I am a long-term stock investor, though. THIS IS STRICTLY MY OPINION AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A DECIDING FACTOR!!! (Do you like my disclaimer?)

Cool Re: Boeing Financial Report

Nice, I'm thinking of long term investing and maybe diversifying like what you were saying. I always try to read the fine (BOLD) print.

The advice you get here will be worth exactly what you paid for it. Your stockbroker's advice will also have the same value.

Buy FoMoCo ... Ford Motor Company ... it's just under $6 per share, and there is probably more of an "upside" to buying them than putting your money in Boeing.

Granted, it's probably a "safer" risk betting on the Dreamliner and future programs, but at the same time, at $5.86 per share, if you buy 1000 shares, you wouldn't be out too much (depends on your budget obviously). But ... if Ford can turn things around under Alan Mulally, then that would be fabulous for shareholders who buy in low. There's only one way to go for Ford ... or ... they might even get bought out by someone else, or merge with Nissan or another foreign partner, which would likely have a positive affect on the share price.

Personally, I'd stay away from Boeing for the time being, or at least until they see the light with the Dreamliner program, because right now, it appears to be very chaotic to say the least.
