You're comparing me to Cramer. I've never traded as a PM for a fund as small as his (fund). I am not a stock-picker, God help us all. If you're equating cable TV fame with success, then he's successful. My insecurities have no impact on your argument. You're touting Cramer's CV while denigrating it in the same-breath. Yawn. Impact to BA? Zero. MSFT is trading at 75x. Are you short it? If not, why not? Edit: Apogee was smaller than Cramer-Berkowitz.

How does our Treasury Dept have any say over Airbus? Especially when Europe wants the deal left as is. __________________________________________________________ Treasury to revoke Boeing, Airbus licenses to sell planes to Iran by Joe Williams | May 08, 2018 07:56 PM Print this article The Treasury Department will revoke the licenses that Boeing and Airbus obtained in order to sell jets to Iranian carriers following President Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal, the agency confirmed on Tuesday. The authorization under which the companies were granted the license will be removed over the next 90 days as part of the larger termination of the Iran agreement, Treasury said. Boeing agreed in 2016 to sell 80 aircraft to Iran Air for $17 billion. The Chicago-based company also agreed to sell Iran Aseman Airlines 30 single-aisle 737s in a deal worth $3 billion. The company declined to comment on the report. No planes have been delivered, the company’s chief executive officer recently told investors. Airbus, Boeing's largest rival, has shipped Iran Air three of the 46 single-aisle planes and 54 wide-body jets agreed to in a $19 billion deal. A spokesman did not immediately respond to request for comment. The European manufacturer previously declined to provide guidance on the schedule for future deliveries.

President Donald Trump’s decision to walk away from the deal could leave them the first and hardest hit. (Wall Street Journal)
