BA - The big picture

21 Haz

Boeing has been under scrutiny for a few years now for good reason. Investors are more exhausted than ever as price action fails to keep up with the rest of the market, and with no dividends there seems to be little reason to hold onto the stock. However, when considering the fact that Boeing has been a key stable in US aerospace/defense and commercial applications since the 1970's, and has also faced and survived scares in the past, it may be pertinent to look for counter-trend optimism. In the short term, I believe a retest of the 300 week around the $130 level is still in the cards, and we are currently up against the 200 week after a failed break, and a second failure may be too much for short term holders to handle. The prevailing long term trend though for the stock looks to be business as usual, and unless we break below the 300 week I see no reason to think otherwise.

In summary, I will look for an entry with either a successful break/flipped support of the 200 week, or a retest at the 300 week which has historically been a strong support even in the worst conditions.
