Ready to Fly --- BA

BA (Boeing Co.)

BA is the world's largest aerospace company, and the No. 2 maker of commercial airplanes behind European rival Airbus SAS.

The company booked 496 orders in this first half year, more than four times of Airbus' 117. This Wednesday, BA will release its second-quarter earnings. Even this number is expected red, but there is a chance that BA will increase its full-year earnings forecast.

Its closing price, as of 7/24/06, is $81.44. It is good for all investors.

My suggestion: Buy (8)
