> In terms of their space program, they are close to testing their manned capsule and just got a light touch program review, while SpaceX got put through the ringer.

I'm sure this will end well for them...

Ha! Yeah, the light touch worked so well for the 737 MAX. Well at least the first flight of their capsule will be unmanned...

Oh no kidding. I'm putting puts on BA ahead of their upcoming capsule failure in two weeks.

Except the whole point of this subthread is that Boeing's stock price never faces any actual consequences, regardless of how badly the company screws up.

Boeing will not be allowed to fail, even if it personally bankrupts every taxpayer in the United States. And they know it.

Puts are short term, not long term. I agree that boeing will not be allowed to fail. Let's assume that it gets that bad. At what valuation will the company in the immediate wake of a bailout? 125% of current value? Or 75% of its current value?
