So you exercised your options? Or still holding? Inquiring minds...

So, your put options expire 12/01/19?

When do your options expire?

Had I bought BA to hold for three months, I'd be worried about now. Ask me in a decade how this investment worked out. The first post in this thread was about a decade ago, Boeing's done just fine.

Common non-title words (private and jet) are not capitalized in casual writing. Go Short Boeing Stock (Again). Please!

Thanks for that! Maybe I can set up some lazy 8 rolls to help me sleep later. Two hours down, only 12.5 to go!

The criticism of the 787 was that batteries were dangerous in airplanes; not just the particular battery Boeing installed in the 787. The "fix" was not as simple as removing a AAA battery and replacing it with a better one. With the 737MAX, there is no airframe defect. The aircraft is not inherently unstable and the flawed system was not designed to make an unstable airframe stable. The system was to prevent pilots from entering a stall. The flaw was that Boeing designed the system to rely on the input from a single source. Smiling as I write this post aboard a 787-9 en route at FL390. But hey, what do I know? Maybe the 737MAX will never fly and the inherent design flaws posited above will be found to extend to other members of the 737 family. Place your bets! Boeing Option Chain

Boeing short sellers to the front of the line please. This all sound very much like the fatal flaws attributed to the 787 battery issues that begat this thread.

Where did you find a market for a one-day short trade? And you apparently cannot read...the $6.89 drop is just 2.02%. Foul smell when you post...maybe bullshit?

My mistake. The A380 may fly forever! Just not with Qatar, British Airways, Singapore, Lufthansa, Etihad or Qantas. Or the major airlines who never purchased the behemoth in the first place including American, Delta, United, Japan Airlines, and others. I’d anticipate closer to $30B to include intangiable losses, but you may be correct and may be less. You can whine like a bitch. Or short the stock. Even better, do both! Please!

Clearly won’t stop there. Between bad PR and direct costs, my guess is they’ll likely write down the program by somewhere between $0.5B and $2B. Take that with full shaker of salt however, I’m not a financial analyst. Still peanuts compared to profit on 787 and loss Airbrush will have with A380. No to mention the thousands of 737s left to be sold after this fiasco fades in memory.

Stock down again today. Short sellers unite! Glanced back at the first post in this thread from just over a decade ago. On 06/24/09, BA closed at $42.37 and today at $354.00. Annualized 26% ROI. I'll hold onto my prediction for a decade from now and wait this small storm out.

Bet you're glad you bought the put options before the latest bad news!

And 400 pilots have filed a class action suit. Go all in short! You’ll make a killing and retire to a life of Airbus-transported luxury!

Cover up. Sounds like shareholder suits are next. Can I count on you to short BA now?

[QUOTE="Oaktown, post: 1737501, member: 11551"]If I was running an airline, I'd listen to Sully before betting large. I think it’s a safe bet that WW considered all the available information before betting that much $. Not unique to the 737 MAX; same as on the NG, which have excellent safety record. The issue is MCAS and pilot response to it.

Willie Walsh bet around $15B this week that the plane will return safely to the skies, and that IAG can make money flying them.

The Pier is usually close to the DFW departure gate and I go there sometimes if I have a quick connection. Seat 2A on the DFW/HKG is my happy place.

+1 But The Wing at HKG is amazing too. Better shower cabanas, great food. And a Champagne bar. Had friends over for blind tasting, probably ten years ago. Favorite was a 1989 Krug, then Veuve Yellow Label, Krug NV, Dom (don't recall the vintage), Moet White Star and Korbel (the ringer) in that order. Except one dude who thought Korbel was the bomb!

I'm not defending anyone. Being wrong (with the benefit of hindsight) does not define negligence. In my opinion, Boeing was neither careless, malicious, nor negligent. And I'm just putting my money where my mouth is. Similarly, I do not think that the pilots - who failed to follow the procedure all pilots learn in dealing with runaway trim - were careless or malicious. The fact remains however, that they did not follow the proscribed procedure. Boeing and Airbus share a near domination of the commercial airliner market in duopoly. The former in partnership with Embraer and the latter having purchased the C series program from Bombardier and thereby eliminating their closest competitors. As far as lives lost, preventable death is a tragedy whatever the cause. You will not find a single post I've made wherein I suggest otherwise.

I doubt 1 in 5 people know they’re on a 737, let alone which model.

Now's your chance to short BA. Please.

They (appropriately) expected pilots to follow the same procedure in this airplane that every pilot of every airplane follows with a runaway trim; you turn that shit off. Simple as that. I doubled up on Monday at $340. Now's your chance to short BA and prove me wrong. Please.

Read up on the system and changes made. It ain’t brain surgery and the logic changes will solve the problem.
