We purchase 25 shares of Boeing stock at approximately $198 and increase the number of shares in the Jim Cramer Charitable Trust to 585 shares, raising its portfolio weight to 3.1%. In addition, we purchase 10 shares of Goldman Sachs stock for approximately $799, increasing the number of shares in the trust to 205 shares and increasing the portfolio weight to approximately 4.35%. The S&P 500 Short Range Oscillator is -7.45%, indicating that the market is heavily oversold, so we’re holding our noses and repeating our trades from Monday. A value below -4% indicates that the stock is being punished and could bounce back significantly on any good news, in which case it would be a sign that the conflict in the Middle East is coming to an end. We don’t usually see the oscillator, our favorite market indicator, oversold, but there have been several times over the past few years that it has fallen further. The two most recent instances of minus 10% or less were near the Liberation Day lows in April 2025 and September 2022. In both cases, investors were well placed on the outlook for several months. Last April, we shared MarketEdge data on market returns when the oscillator reached negative 10%. This does not include the incredible move the market enjoyed from last year’s Liberation Day lows. The oscillator has not reached that level yet, but we have in mind to gradually add positions at these levels. For Boeing, this week’s Bank of America Global Industrial Conference did not mark the “tactical bottom” that Citi analysts had hoped for. This may have been the wrong decision, but it’s a lesson in why we don’t make all our purchases at once. The conference wasn’t all bad. On the positive side, the wiring issue on the MAX jet was quickly resolved and nearly all affected aircraft were repaired. Chief Financial Officer Jay Malabe also said the company plans to increase production of MAX jets from 42 to 47 per month by mid-year, and could reach 52 per month by the first half of 2027. However, some jet deliveries have been pushed back to the second quarter, and profit margins in the commercial aircraft division are expected to be much worse than expected due to the integration of the Spirit AeroSystems acquisition. Regarding Goldman Sachs, there has been no change in our thinking since Monday’s purchase. We will buy back the shares we sold at much higher prices in two transactions in December and January.
