Getting to the Serious stuff

The Boeing Company (BA) has the biggest weighting on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index at 9.22%. It also released a Dividend of $ 1.71 on the Ex-Div date of 9 August 2018.

Looking at the long-term chart of Boeing we can see that the price action was in a consolidation phase from 2013 to the start of 2017. The price was trading in a range between a support level of $103.52 and finding resistance at the $ 158.83 per share. The price action broke out of the trading range and has been in an uptrend since.

So, if we fast forward to the intraday chart we can see that the price is consolidating once more within a triangle pattern. We might see the price move lower (which will give a lower entry point) before it breaks out higher from the triangle. Take note that if we see the price action move lower beyond the triangle support (red dotted) line then the set-up would have failed to buy The Boeing Company as part of our portfolio for now.
