Somebody else find it ironic that you can buy a share in the largest aircraft manufacturing company in the world for more than the price of a barrel of the liquid that fuels the company's product....?

The reason it went up is because Jim Cramer told millions of viewers how great the stock is the day before....The guy has some serious power on Wall St.

A relative of mine passed away a few moths ago and you would not believe what we found in her safe. 30,000 shares of Boeing stock! To put it mildly, when the stock goes, up my day seems to be in a good mood. He got 33% of it.

I almost fell out of my desk when my dad called me and told me. What blows my mind is that nobody in the family knew she had it. Not even my step mom who took care of here for years. We had to call a lock smith just to open the safe. We knew she was well off, she had a couple million in bank accounts and property, but did not know she had stock squirrelled away.
