Wall Street liked what it saw of Everett, Wash.

At least, investors liked what they saw of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner when the plane made its debut here.

On Monday, Boeing’s stock bounced back up to around $100 – a price at which it had hovered at the end of May. As the Dreamliner’s debut neared and production problems surfaced, Boeing’s stock dropped back down to the $95 mark.

The stock closed at $99.90, up $1.02 for the day. It traded as high as $101.32, near its 52-week high of $101.45.
