Howdy,
I hope this is not an inappropriate question to ask in this forum. I am an American. EADS, the parent company of Airbus SAS trades its stock shares in Paris and Frankfurt. Because of the nature of the company, are Americans allowed to invest in the company? Despite their current problems, they certainly have a future.
By the way, two years ago Boeing could do nothing right. Today Airbus cannot do anything right. Two years from now, who knows?
Thanks,
Bill

Recently announced production problems with the 380 and the projected cost of redeveloping the 350 will probably drive shares down for awhile.
Now might be a good time to buy.
There will always be EADS…the European community will always buy products from them regardless of free market influences….if for nothing more than a employment/prestige program.
Now whether it will make money for shareholders…that’s another question.

Of course you can buy shares in them. Just as well as how europeans can buy shares in Boeing and the likes.
Personally, I would expect it to be a rather good move. Airbus has a habit of postponing revealing new orders until they can get a lot of publicity from it. That is why usually Le Bourget and Farnborough see a lot of orders. Recently Airbus has had feworders, so chances are they have been stockpiling a few nice ones for Farnborough next month.
The new orders will increase the price of EADS, sell fast cause after that you can expect another long slow period where prices gradually decline.
disclaimer: In no way do i accept responsibility for you loosing your lifes savings or part thereof. If however you do gain money from my dribble, I expect it to be shared 50/50.
