Fortune and Airplanes! Boeing Takes Flight Thanks to a Trump Trade Deal. Next Stop: Adventure!

X Marks the Spot (on the Stock Chart!)

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?...Oh wait wrong adventure! This time it's the stock market and believe me it can be just as treacherous. Apparently a certain former President let's just call him 'DJT' struck a deal with the UK. The prize? A cool $10 billion worth of Boeing planes. Now I'm no Wall Street guru – I prefer ancient artifacts – but even I can see that's good news for Boeing. As I always say 'It's not the years honey it's the mileage' and Boeing's about to get a lot more mileage.

Dreamliners and Deals: A Match Made in Aviation Heaven!

British Airways bless their tea sipping hearts is snapping up 32 of Boeing's 787 10 long haul aircraft. Thirty two! That's enough to fly all the world's treasures back to a museum...or at least get a good head start. This combined with Boeing's already hefty $435 billion backlog means the company is looking less like it's about to be swallowed by quicksand and more like it's soaring into the sunset. Remember what Sallah says 'bad dates'.

Air Force One: Delayed But Not Defeated

Ah the next Air Force One! Seems it's been delayed more times than my flight out of Cairo. The latest word is that it might be ready by 2027 just in time for… well let's just say 'DJT' to potentially use it. The Air Force and Boeing are getting along so hopefully no more delays. As I always say to Short Round “use your head!”

Essential Investments: More Than Just Fortune and Glory!

Now I'm not one to give financial advice (archaeology is expensive enough!) but this 'Essential 40 ETF' sounds like a smart cookie. Investing in companies vital to the US economy? It's like finding the Ark of the Covenant – essential! The author likes to “buy what you need” which is a step further than “buy what you know”. It's a step forward.

The Raiders of the Lost Gains: A Risky Business

Here's where it gets a little dicey. The author is playing with options – a 'risk reversal' they call it. Selling puts buying calls... Sounds like a game of chance to me! If you want to learn more hire a consultant. Just remember like Belloq reaching for the Ark unlimited upside can also mean unlimited downside. Do your homework or you’ll end up like him – face melted!

My Two Cents: Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

So what's the takeaway? Boeing is bouncing back. Is it a sure thing? Absolutely not! This isn't finding a golden idol in a temple. But with a bit of luck careful planning and maybe a fedora you might just unearth some treasure. Just remember my friends “We do not follow maps to buried treasure and X never ever marks the spot.”
