Boeing Co. is restoring at least a little confidence in the outlook for U.S. industrial companies.

The planemaker smashed profit estimates and boosted its forecast for cash and earnings, pushing shares to the biggest gain on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The strong performance reassured investors that perhaps the market hasn’t peaked for all manufacturers -- an appealing message a day after Caterpillar Inc. said the first quarter would be the “high watermark” for 2018.

“There are broader concerns with trade and companies calling the top of the market,” Ken Herbert, an aerospace analyst at Canaccord Genuity, said in an interview Wednesday. “But this was very clean and very strong.”

  The Top Cryptocurrency Stories for May 31 The Bitcoin company Blockchain has reached 25 million wallets. Founded in 2011, the firm is one of the oldest cryptocurrency companies. The company now has more customers than the brokerage giants TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: AMTD) and Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW) combined, according to Blockchain. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has offered a bullish outlook for his crypto firm. The executive said that he thinks that Bitcoin will have less influence over other cryptocurrency prices in the future. Garlinghouse cited the improving knowledge of other cryptocurrencies and their underlying platforms. "There's a very high correlation between the price of XRP and the price of Bitcoin, but ultimately these are independent open-sourced technologies. It's early, over time you'll see a more rational market and behaviors that reflect that," he said in an interview with CNBC. According to reports, Venezuela has banned the import of cryptocurrency-mining equipment, including hardware, graphics cards, and computers. This is a surprising decision, given that Venezuela is one of the least expensive places in the world to mine Bitcoin. A New Era of Moneymaking Has Arrived (It's About to Change Everything)

  TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (AMTD) has made crypto history as the first firm ever to place an advertisement on the blockchain. "Through a series of transactions we became the first brand to place an ad in the blockchain. Why? Well, we love finding new ways to use emerging technology. So we decided to have a little fun and plant our flag," TD wrote on its website, where it included a photo of the ad embedded right into the blockchain code. The process took 68 transactions and TD used the OP_Return feature in bitcoin's protocol to insert characters as one might write a memo on a check. The resulting transactions were invalid, but they remain preserved on the blockchain ledger for as long as it exists.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2019: Seaspan Corporation(SSW)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Shares of Seaspan Corporation (NYSE:SSW) rallied 15% last month thanks to a bullish analyst note.

  So what

  Seaspan's stock bobbed around the flatline for most of April until an analyst at Deutsche Bank upgraded the containership leasing company from hold to buy toward the end of the month. What stood out was the $13 price target, which was 85% above the bank's previous one of $7 a share. Driving that bullish view is the expectation that Seaspan's ability to deleverage its balance sheet and increase the dividend would fuel substantial share price appreciation in the future.

• [By Maxx Chatsko]

  That helps to explain why shares of Seaspan Corporation (NYSE:SSW) and Diana Shipping (NYSE:DSX) are up 36% and 28%, respectively, since the beginning of April. Both performances easily beat the 5% return of the S&P 500 in that span. However, even the healthy gains made recently don't come close to erasing the losses accumulated in recent years, as both shipping leaders are down over 34% in the last three-year period.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Shares of Seaspan Corp (NYSE:SSW) have been on fire in 2018, rocketing 50.8% through the end of June, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Several factors helped drive the rebound. 

• [By Jim Royal]

  It's been rough sailing for Seaspan (NYSE:SSW) over the last two years, but it finally looks like this shipper has turned the corner. Not only are higher charter rates helping drive the company's performance, but a recent change in the board of directors is helping the containership company sail into safer waters.
