WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Boeing (NYSE: BA ) will offer compensation to Poland's national airline for the months-long grounding of its 787 planes, a Polish government official said Monday.
The world's fleet of 50 Boeing 787s was grounded in January after batteries smoldered on two planes owned by two Japanese airlines. Two of the grounded planes were owned by Poland's LOT airline. They have all resumed flying since Boeing fitted all 787s with redesigned batteries.
Deputy Treasury Minister Rafal Baniak said that the grounding of LOT's planes, which lasted until June, had cost more than 100 million zlotys ($ 30 million) in lost business alone. Among other costs, LOT had to extend the lease on its 767s to carry out scheduled flights.
Talking to Radio PiN, Baniak would not estimate the total cost of the grounding, but said Boeing promised to make a compensation offer in July.
The manufacturer is still trying to identify the root cause of the battery problem.

HCN enjoys a solid portfolio of senior housing, long-term care and medical office facilities, but an acquisition spree has greatly increased costs. Still, that hasn’t hurt the share performance this year. HCN stock is up 9.6% for the year-to-date, beating the broader market by a wide margin.

Exelon�shares have been no doubt strong year-to-date, but we think the improvement in underlying business fundamentals is far from reflected in the share price, particularly after the pullback around equity to fund Pepco (POM).

Moreover,�my guess is that the switch will be a wash for investors as funds and ETFs that track the S&P 500 will dump their positions in Advanced Micro Devices and SAIC Inc while those that track the S&P Mid Cap 400 will be obligated to take up positions in both. A quick look at the performance of the iShares S&P 500 Index ETF (NYSEARCA: IVV) verses the iShares Core S&P Mid Cap ETF (NYSEARCA: IJH) reveals the following:

IT management software and solutions provider CA Inc. (CA) can continue its resurgence with a focus on innovation.
Early signs are encouraging. The company, formerly known as Computer Associates, is highly profitable. Its problem is a steady decline in revenue that has persisted for seven straight quarters.
��f you take a look over the last several years, we lost our innovation edge,��Chief Executive Mike Gregoire said in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. ��nd over the last year that is the No. 1 thing that I have been trying to put in place. You can structure deals and use financial engineering to a certain extent, package more things together and show growth, but at the end of the day you have to build great software that is highly differentiated and (that) people want.��/p>
Since joining CA a year ago, Gregoire has been trying to sharpen CA�� blunted edge. He has closed fragmented engineering shops, opened an R&D center in Silicon Valley and is trying to get ahead of the technology curve to deliver the products that customers will want in two years��time.
��his innovation is not something you do some of the time, you have to do it all of the time,��Gregoire said.
��e are on a treadmill,��he added. ��e have to keep the products that we currently have innovative and differentiated, and we have to be looking to what the market needs over time to make sure we are highly relevant in the largest markets.��/p>
He sees huge potential from mainframe applications to distributed applications to the cloud. CA, which competes with the likes of Oracle (ORCL) and International Business Machines�(IBM), will have customers on all three platforms, which will need to be managed, and applications and security closely monitored. ��here is lots of room for us to innovate,��said Gregoire. He has cut 1,200 jobs, and is looking to revitalize sales and marketing, too.

The chart of CA (CA) doesn't need much introduction -- it's about as simple as a technical pattern gets. CA is currently bouncing higher in an uptrending channel, a setup that gives us a very high probability range for shares of CA to remain within. Here's how to trade it.
Trendline support is the price level to watch right now in CA -- it's been the floor that's kept CA bouncing higher each of the last five times it's been tested. Even though it generally makes sense to be a buyer anywhere in an uptrend, the ideal time to buy comes on a bounce off of support.
Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: It's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). With little room between the trendline support line and CA's most recent price, this week looks like as good a time as any to start building a position.
