Investors will remain (still) left
So far, the damage balance of the 737 MAX-a Disaster is, according to the financial service Bloomberg to 8.3 billion dollars and the end is likely not going to be achieved.

The group denies this, but has given a breakdown. Initial investigation reports indicated a faulty control software as the cause of a crash.
The US airlines with these Jets – Southwest, American and United Airlines, had recently announced to withdraw the flyer until the beginning of November from the flight plans. That is why hundreds of flights, and the Airlines account for a daily additional cost. Boeing also high compensation payments threaten it.
In spite of everything, investors remain relatively relaxed. Boeing’s shares have risen since the beginning of the year to just under 16 percent. This is significantly worse than the industry average, but is still a strong Plus. Also, the high loss for the quarter resulted in pre-market discounts are only for slight Course. Ultimately, the Numbers were significantly better than expected.
