World Markets Stock Consideration Report – USA – 2019 April
Approximately, 23% of the market is in the SELL WATCH/SELL classification and 17% in the BUY WATCH/BUY classification. This is a much better, balanced condition, than what we experienced at the end of 2017 when 24% was solidly in the SELL/Overvalued classification and only 11% in the BUY/Undervalued classification. This lopsided condition continued to get worse until the last quarter of 2018 when stock prices reversed and relative valuations on the SELL classification returned to normal. The current levels of 11% SELL and 9% BUY are supportive of continued improvement in the market. Please do not equate that to a belief that the market will never go down again, because it will, but it is true that relative valuations can support higher market values for some time into the future.

Boeing – Our View From Flight Level 420
Boeing stock price is being hurt by inaccurate news reporting which should be temporary. The company is already well underway in correcting the problem and is implementing a solution. This should not impact Boeing’s long-term ability to deliver revenues, earnings and dividends as expected.
