The Boeing Company (BA), Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (TPX): Could Big Dumb Money Equal Profitable Post-Panic Rebounds?

Perhaps some other high volume darling, like The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) may be a better fit.  BA has some interesting volatility in the past year, over 754 million shares outstanding and a 90-day average volume of 5.5 million sh/day- this makes the situation a little closer to AAPL.  Looking more closely, 72% institutional ownership and at least one excursion over 20 million sh/day and three more over 15 million/day in recent months give me more evidence for a panic candidate.  Perhaps the ongoing battery fire saga or some new 787 issue will create nervous owners.  This bears watching.

Of course, keeping a cool head while all others about you are losing theirs is easier said than done.  Sometimes there is a good reason for the panic…. deducing the truth of that is essential, otherwise you ride a rocket ship screaming into the ground.
