2.5% profit in 5 days. Not bad. Been reading about technical analysis of the financial markets by John Murray. Lots of good information and techniques to use for long term investing and short term trading.

This one?

Not sure if you mistyped, but the 747 isn't affected. It's just the 737 MAX (specifically), which is relatively new and is in fairly limited use. It'd have an impact for sure, but it's not like Southwest's fleet of 737's would be entirely grounded or anything. Here's a list of 737 MAX deliveries by airline, and here's a more succinct summary from USA Today:

Quote:

4. A grounding would not cripple Southwest, American or United's operations, throwing the air travel system into chaos. The Max 8 may be Boeing's best-selling plane but it represents a small percentage of the fleets of Southwest and American. Southwest has 34 Max 8s in its fleet of more than 750 aircraft. American has 24 in its fleet of nearly 1,000 mainline aircraft. United has 14 Max 9s in its fleet of 779 mainline aircraft.

I ****ed up on the napkin math there.

Should have been [ (1+.025) ^ 1/.02 - 1 ] = 244% annualized return.

Can you explain this for those of us who don't know shit about options?

The right but not the OBLIGATION to buy 100 shares of Boeing at $400 per share on or before April 26, 2019 will cost you $1,005.

I don't do options, but presumably that means that people are very bullish on the price, right?

That might be a bit simplistic.

Options price tells you more about the value investors place on risk management moreso than how they value they have placed underlying stock itself.

Nope. Misread. Because I'm a moron. yeah, I'm guessing those bitches get grounded. Might get ugly.

I'm a million miles from an option guy, but if I were trying to trade them I wouldn't conclude that. I'd conclude that:

1. They're out of the money by $30.

and

2. There is volatility.

That would be the end of what I would want to conclude from that tidbit.

Boeing currently at $371. I just put in a limit order to buy a small amount if the price gets to $350 or less. Will probably never execute, which is fine.

**DaFace** · 03-13-2019, 12:46 PM

737 MAX's are now officially grounded worldwide (including in the U.S.).
