And don't forget Babcock International (BAB)
My mall has a giant corner store BAB
When I was in residential treatment for an eating disorder, we went to build-a-bear 2x in the span of a month, which is 2x more than I had ever been to BAB in my lifetime up until that point.
SPY going +3.9% while BAB (Bitch Ass Bears) going -93% lmao LMAO
This is what I've gone with FINMY, HO, RHM, AVON, SNR, QQ, CHRT, CHG, BAB, BA, RR Not sure how much growth to go and been a little correction since they boomed on Monday but hopefully they'll keep going up with government spending across EU increasing
It's not exactly a secret, I have commented elsewhere in the thread and most of them have been trumpeted about Reddit the last week or so: BAE Systems (LSE: BA.) Babcock International (LSE: BAB) Leonardo (BIT: LDO) QinetiQ (LSE: QQ.) Saab (STO: SAAB-B) Thales (EPA: HO) Chemring (LSE: CHG) Rheinmetall (ETR: RHM) Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) Airbus (EPA: AIR) Hensoldt (ETR: HAG) MTU Aero Engines (ETR: MTX) Safran (EPA: SAF) Those are what I bought on Friday and I'm up about 15% today.
* **BAE Systems** (LSE: BA.) * **Babcock International** (LSE: BAB) * **Leonardo** (BIT: LDO) * **QinetiQ** (LSE: QQ.) * **Saab** (STO: SAAB-B) * **Thales** (EPA: HO) * **Chemring** (LSE: CHG) * **Rheinmetall** (ETR: RHM) * **Rolls-Royce** (LSE: RR.) * **Airbus** (EPA: AIR) * **Hensoldt** (ETR: HAG) * **MTU Aero Engines** (ETR: MTX) * **Safran** (EPA: SAF) Some of these are small/speculative plays. The big names that have had huge runs are RR, BAE, Rheinmetall, Leonardo, and Thales.
# I love you RHM, RR and BAB! Thank you!
Besides what the above poster mentioned: Babcock International Group PLC - BAB Dassault Aviation SA - AM Hensoldt AG - HAG Kongsberg Gruppen ASA - KOG LEONARDO - LDO Rolls Royce - RR Thales - HO Airbus - AIR Safran - SAF Theon International PLC - THEON And maybe Indra Sistemas

The American market is closed but European defense stocks are on a bull run. You can look into these: Babcock International Group PLC - BAB BAE Systems - BA Dassault Aviation SA - AM Hensoldt AG - HAG Kongsberg Gruppen ASA - KOG LEONARDO - LDO Rheinmetall AG - RHM Edit: Rolls Royce - RR Saab AB - SAAB B Thales - HO Airbus - AIR Safran - SAF Theon International PLC - THEON what do you guys think? Anything I’m missing?
SPHB. It's not beta-weighted precisely, but... Wait, you want an inverse beta-weighted fund, not a beta weighted fund? There's a bet-against-beta factor. BTAL is a market neutral version, but you want market exposure. I thought there were more BAB but now that I look, they are mostly using the similar min-volatility factor, like USMV SPLV VFMV SPMV. But that should work for your purpose.
**WELCOME TO THE CASINO BAB** 
Patients is key right. That and D BAB. Don’t be a bitch. Gotta have guts to come out on top in this rat race.
If $BAB doubles it will still only have a $600b market cap
Defense specialist here. My honest answer would be: all of them. But if you're unwilling to accept too much risk, the obvious plays would be the American and European giants. Tickers: BAE, LMT, NOC, UTX, RHM, GD, HRS, HO, SAF, RADA, BAB.
Generally, funds that primarily invest in municipal bonds are exempt from federal tax and may also be exempt from state tax. A municipal bond fund is exempt from state tax if it is comprised of bonds issued primarily in the state of the investor’s residence. I am not an accountant or tax attorney, therefore this is not tax advice. Also of note is BAB, the Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF. Taxable municipal bonds are issued by local governments to fund projects but may not have all the tax advantages of tax-emempt municipal bonds. Build America Bonds (BABs) are one example of taxable municipal bonds.
More sarcasm? I have trouble with that, as you know. One view is that factors are alternative risk factors. In that view they are persistent and not an edge - but that view doesn't make much sense, particularly in light of factors like BAB. The other is that they are from behavioral biases and limited information. Those factors are an edge and go away when published and accommodated for. Regardless, something can be an edge without being a basic linear regression factor.
Google “BAB Factor” and read the paper. Low betas outperform high beta names due to managers using beta as a form of leverage.
36 yo with about a $20k account. Used to live in UK so only buy UK stocks. PnL after taxes and fees just over 40% YTD. Capital Gains Kills me a bit as tax is a flat 30% on any gains. Holdings are BAB - 7% CRN - 7% CKN - 5% CHRT - 8% COST - 10% CWK - 8% KLR - 9% MER - 8% MSI - 9% RNO - 12% RNWH - 7% W7L (Position 1) - 8% W7L (Position 2) - 6%
Why didn't I listen to the BAB guy who said 85c 1dte. 18c to 1.31 ..

Ocugen has been around the world talking to private investors. 6) BAB seats ex-Pfizer and Bill and ex-Melinda Gates Foundation execs
Shorting long bonds and buying shorter term bonds is just a generic BAB factor/strategy applied to bonds. Generally an attractive strategy over the long term but not the same thing as what I’m describing it. And the .6% you pick up would be self-financed/excess returns, so it stacks on top of the yield you’re getting on cash/collateral. Whereas the 4% yield on Treasuries is all you get.
I don't think so. There are lots of other insurance companies to compare them to. There are several different papers that attribute Buffets outperforming to several market factors. Someone used the BAB factor (betting against Beta), made a pretty good case that he outperforms by buying low beta stocks.
Your reference was to the article. Delete away puddknocker. The various market models already allow for categories that we know outperform. Whether you use FF 3, Carhardt, FF 5, HXZ, HXZ Mom, BAB, etc etc, the question of can an investor generate consistent alpha remains. Trying to talk around the question based on your general understanding, without regard to objective characterizations, shows you don't understand the question or the associated empirical research on the subject. We specifically itemize and quantify these factors, models, and portfolio performance so that the dialogue is precise and meaningful, not some generalized subjective bullshit. If you are going to engage my point/question, then engage it, don't talk out of your ass while sidestepping the only point being made. Or just move along. You don't need to speak up on subjects where you don't have the knowledge base to have the dialogue.
“Ay man like people say theres a recession but like the Auntie Annies like at the mall the longer than normal and we had to wait extra long for my build a bear so based on there is no recession. Calls on everything Long BAB, Long Auntie Annies Pretzels

BAB3 and that one call I bought this morning is saving my stupid butt. always hedge!
!banbet META 120 10d OR PERMANENT BAB
They’ve mentioned numerous times that they are making an announcement at the end of this month. Bearish case would be bankruptcy, bullish case would be some sort of sales/spin-off of BAB.
BAB is terrible exposure to China. The CCP is never going to allow BABA to be the normal BABA that people remember. Please, give up this narrative now. If you want exposure to China then go with JD. Or maybe Pinduoduo or Tencent.
We all need something fuzzy to hold and sob into while our portfolios get murdered quarterly. BAB will reign supreme. Jk --- I'm not fucking with boutique elastic retail products right now during this impending shit show.
Struggling to find this ticker. BLDB? BAB? B♧♤♡~?
POSITIONS OR BAB 
Rumor has it Buffet will take heavy stake in BAB JPM also betting that CPI data will be bullish
I too know a coworker, who has been telling me to buy BAB a and NIO shares last year and telling me to buy lots of it.. I only bought a little like less than 1% and look at where those 2 stocks at now compared 12 months ago.. Now that same coworker been telling about krypt0.. now im just "man you gonna jinx the entire thing arent you?"
$BAB drilling. do Chinese believe in Santa Rally?
That makes sense, but BAB is basically what I'm trying to do with my portfolio in general. (Except I think it's factor exposure rather than beta that explains the differences in returns on these assets.) I was hoping an ETF that does some hedgey bullshit like pairs trades or merger arbitrage might represent a genuinely distinct asset class.
BAB3 ISIN: XS2337090851 It's a 3x daily BABA etf if baba goes up 3% this goes up 9 if baba drops 2% you're down 6.Day after earnings when it dropped 11% i was down 33. If you don't have the guts for it better off stay far away
I wish I had this drive at 19. I spent all my money on weed and beer at that age. Good on you. It’s definitely doable. SPY, QQQ, and maybe a bond ETF like BAB.
I’m apparently an idiot and probably cannot read but despite studying futures trading the last few months I had never heard of the offset transaction accounting rules for daily P&L, until now, my first day trading. I think I made $500 tonight. But I can’t tell. Maybe I should go back to selling puts like a BAB.
People are looking too much at BABA's financial statements. They need to look at the way China is changing. Xi spent his first term, maybe term and a half, consolidating power. Now he has free reign. For the last few years he has been implementing his vision for China, and his vision is one that is very problematic for investors, especially foreign ones. The business environment is fundamentally different than what it was when China was run by its two previous administrations. People have been thinking BAB's numbers look great so all I have to do is wait out this wave of heavy handed government actions, but China is now butting up against structural problems in its economy. Xi won't be saying, "Hey, I was wrong. Let's go back to the policies of Hu Jintao." He will double down. The actions we have seen so far are just the beginning.
i would have gotten rid of BABA a long time ago, but I have stock holdings are in B, BA, BAB, and BABA. It is a stupid investing strategy I take great pleasure in.
I bought BAB 170c yesterday. I hate this stock. I’m probably dumping this right at open. Good profit at least
BB B BA BAB BABA It's clear... buy $BABA
>BAB It's ready to become meme stock.
Some BAB who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Yolo’d one share of AMZN. Printing $150 AF. Should have bought an ATM call. I’m such a BAB when it comes to buying premium.
Last year when USO was trading super low because of that weird US oil storage issue in Oklahoma, I had bought USO (by selling puts) at or near its low. He was talking so much shit about me (all retail investors) it made me feel legitimately bad about myself. Almost made me cry. I nearly sold out of my position. Luckily I stuck with my plan. Made a grand over a couple months (with only 2600 invested, could have made a lot more but my risk tolerance is BAB level). I remind myself of that when he’s talking shit.
Probably just going to buy VTSAX like a BAB
Feeling those JD BAB A plays this week.
Babcock International (BAB.L) the Nuclear engineering service, is seeing huge increases (currently 30%) after announcing [job losses in overhaul plan](https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/babcock-job-cuts-write-down-turnaround-plans-defence-082756675.html)

Not similar. South Korea's population is 50M compared to China's 1.5B (30 times), not to mentioning China's booming economy and a whole lot of new customers from rural areas. Coupang is not likely to expand worldwide as BABA did. So the market size is not comparable. BABA's market cap is about 10 times Coupang at the moment. So either BAB is undervalued or Coupang is overvalued. I think it's both.
