Boeing (NYSE: BA) found itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in 2019. Boeing 737 MAX jets were grounded the same day Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, crashed and killed all 157 people aboard. Boeing is often regarded as one of the most respected and advanced American industrial and defense stocks, making up the largest percentage of any company in the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average index. Boeing enters the new decade amid scandal and underperformance in 2019. Is it possible for long-term investors to look past Boeing's many current headwinds amid the recent sell-off, or is Boeing stock too opaque to be considered a buy?
