The economic impact of the **2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)** on job creation—particularly the provisions that benefited corporations and high-income earners—remains a subject of intense debate among economists, policymakers, and researchers. Because tax cuts coincide with many other economic forces, isolating their exact contribution to employment is highly complex. \[[1](https://taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-might-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-affect-economic-output), [2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act), [3](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48485)\] The assessment of how much these tax cuts helped create jobs depends entirely on the economic framework and data analyzed: **The Mainstream and Non-Partisan Consensus: Modest Impact** Independent, non-partisan economic research organizations—such as the **Congressional Research Service (CRS)**, the **Congressional Budget Office (CBO)**, and the **Tax Policy Center (TPC)**—conclude that the tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy had a **modest to negligible effect on long-term job creation and wage growth**. \[[1](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48485), [2](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/53787), [3](https://taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-might-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-affect-economic-output), [4](https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/new-congressional-study-finds-little-economic-benefit-2017-tax-cuts), [5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act)\] **The Mechanism:** Proponents argued that lowering the top individual tax bracket and slashing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% would stimulate job growth by freeing up capital for business investment. \[[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act), [2](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R45736)\] **The Reality:** Empirical data gathered after enactment showed that instead of funding major domestic hiring sprees or wage increases, corporations primarily directed their windfall cash flows toward **shareholder dividends and a record-breaking $1 trillion in stock buybacks**. \[[1](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7250099/), [2](https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/new-congressional-study-finds-little-economic-benefit-2017-tax-cuts)\] **Labor Distribution:** Academic studies tracking the corporate tax cuts found that roughly **81% of the gains were captured by the top 10% of earners** (executives and firm owners), while 0% went to workers below the 90th percentile. \[[1](https://equitablegrowth.org/six-years-later-more-evidence-shows-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-benefits-u-s-business-owners-and-executives-not-average-workers/)\] **Economic Timing:** Because the tax cuts were enacted when the U.S. unemployment rate was already low, the minor boost in consumer demand was largely offset by the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates higher to prevent inflation. \[[1](https://taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-might-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-affect-economic-output)\]

\> COPVs can be subject to complex modes of failure. In 2016, a [SpaceX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX) [Falcon 9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9) rocket [exploded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOS-6) on the pad due to the failure of a COPV inside the liquid oxygen tank:[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped_pressure_vessel#cite_note-10) the failure resulted from accumulation of frozen solid oxygen between the COPV's aluminum liner and composite overwrap in a void or buckle. The entrapped oxygen can either break overwrap fibers or cause friction between fibers as it swells, igniting the fibers in the pure oxygen and causing the COPV to fail. A similar failure occurred in 2015 on [CRS-7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRS-7) when the COPV burst, causing the oxygen tank to overpressurize and explode 139 seconds into flight.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped_pressure_vessel#cite_note-11) On June 18, 2025, a [SpaceX Starship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship_(spacecraft))prototype, S36 was destroyed by the failure of a COPV.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped_pressure_vessel#cite_note-12) Iamgine sitting next to it filled with 10000psi gas

\>NASA has existed for almost 80 years, over half of which it has been starved of funding. There wasn’t a single point in time where NASA had any less funding than SpaceX now, and when I say now I mean including private sources. There wasn’t a single point in time where NASA could not afford to spend as much money on a rocket as SpaceX did on Falcon 9, in a single year, multiple times over. Yet they didn’t. The issue isn’t funding and it has never been funding. It is the direction of funding. NASA isn’t mainly a space program, it is mainly a jobs program. After Apollo, NASA had to find something to keep itself and its workers and its contractors relevant. NASA’s budget is determined by senators. So the following structure emerged: NASA funnels billions of taxpayer dollars to corpo giants like Boeing, Lockheed etc. with specific requirements to spread as many jobs across the country as possible, thus creating more jobs in every state, winning the senators votes, the senators who in turn determine NASA’s budget… This wasn’t ever meant to do much actual work, it was meant to cycle taxpayer dollars in order to win votes for senators. Guess what, Bush and later Obama specifically tries to get out of this situation by creating the CRS and CCDev programs, which helped SpaceX develop, and NASA would get cheap space access. And guess what, it worked.

Welfare queen rocket company? Are you serious? That "welfare queen" rocket company is the only reason we aren't still relying on Russia to bring our astronauts to and from the ISS. And is the first company to EVER launch and land an orbital class rocket booster. SpaceX dragged the entire space industry into the 21st century kicking and screaming. The amount of fighting they had to do to even stay alive in the 2010's is insane because of all the pushback. SpaceX now owns and operates the largest satellite constellation in history. Provides amazing Internet to over 10 million people and counting (me included), and has essentially reached their goal of Falcon 9 launches AND landings becoming so routine they are essentially "boring" now. Not to mention the HLS contract, commercial crew, the CRS contract, Axiom missions, and tons of commercial payload missions. SpaceX saved NASA billions of dollars over the years. NASA's words, not mine. And again, is THE ONLY REASON WE AREN'T RELYING ON RUSSIA ANYMORE. I love how people call SpaceX welfare queens when you didn't say shit when ULA had a literal $800 million/year subsidy to literally stay alive in the mid 2010's. All at the same time preventing SpaceX from bidding on military launch contracts.

12b1 fees are trails based on asset value, not paid up front. They are also clearly disclosed. While I agree with you in principle on all your points, and for many people (eg us in bogleheads) an advisor is not necessary. However, sales loads and trails are how the advisor gets paid and all this information is disclosed plainly on the form CRS. There are other ways to arrange for the advisors compensation including flat fee or fee based on AUM.

CRS had some great talking points about aerospace and defense spending.

_hiddenscout

Carpenter Technology (NYSE: CRS) reported Q3 fiscal 2026 operating income of $186.5 million, up 35% year-over-year, and diluted EPS of $2.77, significantly beating consensus estimates. The Specialty Alloys Operations (SAO) segment was a primary driver, delivering $208.0 million in operating income with an adjusted operating margin of 35.6%. Operating cash flow for the quarter improved due to higher earnings and working capital management, while capital expenditures reached $68.7 million to support brownfield expansions. The company raised its full-year fiscal 2026 operating income guidance to $680 million–$700 million (representing 30–33% growth) and increased its adjusted free cash flow outlook to at least $280 million. During the quarter, Carpenter executed $32.1 million in share repurchases and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share.  • Early-Stage Growth Cycle: Emphasized that these record results come while the Aerospace and Defense end-use markets are only at the "beginning of a growth cycle," suggesting a long-term runway for demand.

Also Own CRS and MLI and IESC. Looked into USLM, great company but just never pulled the trigger. CRDO and ALAB really interest me, but have a hard time figuring out when it makes sense to buy. I always liked to look at like DCF before buying and these hyper growths don't really give great margins of safety and so it's hard to know when it makes sense to buy. Part of why I never bought.

IBangTokyoWife

Curious why you sold? Incredible, sustained growth and still quite a small market cap. Seems like you, u/_hiddenscout and I have had some overlap in smaller sized companies. I have small positions in MLI CRS KNSL USLM IESC. Looking at adding more MLI, and starting positions In UFPT and CRDO. Potentially ALAB but less interested in that one. Would love to hear your thoughts on any of these, and whether you're adding, holding, or selling (and why).

Any legitimate financial advisor is required to provide RegBI/Form CRS documents that lay out their products and services and how they get paid.

Trickster_CDXX

Lmao you have to be ragebaiting. You just did the exact opposite of what I said. Anyways, I checked in on their EPS and sales estimates for march 2026… they’re pretty lofty. IF they hit, they might actually see a wild bounce and you might be able to get out even or even with 3-4x you keep yammering on about. But just know you ARE basically gambling. Even if it hits big. It would be like sitting down at a poker table, looking at your cards, seeing 7 2 off-suit (the worst hand in the game for those unaware), and betting all of your money. You could hit a full house and win big, but everyone would know it was entirely luck rather than wise investing strategy. Also, something tells me it would be a good idea to be forthcoming with all that stuff “at play” that “most people don’t see” if you really wanted to convince people to buy in. Until then, people are going to rightfully assume you’re baiting for exit liquidity. If you had inside info, you either wouldn’t be spouting on reddit, or you wouldn’t have timed the stock so poorly as to be down 32% or more. Btw a safer stock like, say, $CRS, you could be up 20-40% in the same amount of time that has passed since posting… a differential that would be in the mid-high thousands for you. Good luck with your triple down, and pray “inverse reddit” comes through. None of this is financial advice.

Haven’t looked at the valuations in a second. SARO is interesting but going to be more of a play just on aerospace while something like CRS is that plus like other industries like defense and medical.  I’ll take a look later.  SARO did sell off a bit recently because of offering some senior notes, so some dilution.

Hey Scout not sure if you follow/care about trades by politicians but senator Mullin just bought a nice amount of the stock CRS, I just remember you mentioning it before, I was looking at the list of space stock you listed before thinking of picking up some SARO but wanted to see what you think is the cheapest of the bunch rn

Great company, don’t own. Solid run this year so far.  There’s some other names in the space sector that are profitable and a bit under the radar.  GHM, ITT, FEIM, CW, ATI, CRS, BELFB/BELFA, LDOS, AMTM, MOG.A are few other names to play space/defense with companies that are profitable.

Interesting. Funny enough, bought some GTX like a week or two ago. Yeah, I'm really excited for the spin offs. I really want to see the material and the aerospace business. Been investing in a lot of those type of companies. Stuff like CRS and ATI have been awesome to hold and great businesses. Same with a lot of aerospace names like MOG.A.

_hiddenscout

What's interesting is how well stuff like ERJ and Airbus has been doing. Aerospace suppliers have also been a nice pocket of the market. Done well with HWM, CRS, ATI, TATT.

Negative-Pea4928

thanks for the inspiration again - HWM, ATI, and CRS are monsters. if you leave out fundamentals, earnings etc what are your main screener settings for these growth stocks? i have tried to keep my settings quite simple with price above key moving averages accordingly and return 5y-10y +200% and market cap more than 20b

_hiddenscout

Just focus on buying good companies at good prices and you’ll done.  It’s simple advice, but it really works.  A ton of people investing do almost zero research on the stuff they buy. For example, aerospace has been in a really good place since Covid, due to a lot of back up demand.  Almost no one you know would have said to buy things like HWM, ATI, or CRS. However these companies are killing it.  For me, learning how to screen years ago changed the way I invest and research companies. 

_hiddenscout

What is interesting is a lot of supplier in the aerospace market have been such great investments. ATI, CRS, and HWM have all been killing it.

As I said, I do what can be considered "swing trading". In January I had NVDA, Meta, AMD, CRS. They dropped so hard that I lost 30% of my portfolio into April. Everytime I rebought them they would drop again, so I started to move to small-cap stocks hoping to get the bump amd sell when they dumped.

There’s a lot of sectors doing well too.  Some of the names in Aerospace and defense.  RTX +53% ATI +83% CRS +89%  HWN +85%  WWD +64% 

_hiddenscout

There's a lot of great names in that space. I like PH, but personally, I think it trades at a higher valuation than I normally like. Like $CRS and $ATI are great names to get out of tech and also are seeing booms in aerospace. $BELFB makes fuses and is blowing almost every stock I've ever seen out of the water in terms of returns.

There are six statutory provisions currently in place that control how the president and the executive branch can use tariffs. Three provisions require federal agency investigations before a tariff can be imposed. The other provisions do not require an investigation before actions are taken. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 has been used by the first and second Trump administrations for steel and aluminum imports. It authorizes the president to ask the Secretary of Commerce to determine if goods are being imported in manner that threatens national security. The secretary then reports back to the president if he has any affirmative findings. “Section 232 does not require the President to follow the Secretary’s recommendations but permits him to take alternative actions or no action,” the CRS says. Under Section 232, there is no maximum time limit on the president’s tariff actions. Another provision that requires an investigation is Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974. The act allows the president to impose tariffs if the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) finds that an import surge is threatening a U.S. domestic industry. If the ITC makes an affirmative determination, the president can take action accordingly, including placing tariffs. Tariffs imposed under Section 201 are not meant to be permanent, and the actions have a limit of four to eight years. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 allows the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to authorize tariffs on foreign countries that restrict U.S. commerce in “unjustifiable,” “unreasonable,” or “discriminatory” ways. If the USTR confirms such behavior after an investigation, the president has the discretion to allow the USTR to impose tariffs for at least four years. Among the three provisions that allow the president to act on his own to impose tariffs without an investigation, only one has ever been used: the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The act allows the president to declare an emergency under the National Emergency Act (NEA) and then use his extensive economic powers to regulate or prohibit imports. The CRS says that President Trump was the first chief executive to use this act in February 2025, when he announced tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. The emergency stated by the president can be terminated at this request, or by a joint resolution of Congress. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to enact temporary tariffs to address “large and serious United States balance-of-payments deficits” or certain other situations that present "fundamental international payments problems; and Section 338 of Tariff Act of 1930, which authorizes the president to enact “tariffs on articles produced by, or imported on the vessels of, foreign countries that discriminate against U.S. commerce in certain ways,” have not yet been used. Ultimately, Congress can limit or expand the presidential tariffs powers through legislation, but the CRS concludes that based on precedents dating back to the time of Chief Justice Marshall, judicial precedent “has given the President broad latitude to exercise his tariff authorities.”

Ah, the eternal WSB siren call: "What stocks to buy?" As Grok, I'll skip the disclaimers (you apes know trading is a casino) and dive in with rational picks based on recent buzz from TipRanks' WSB smart scores, momentum lists on Yahoo Finance, and sentiment scraped from X chatter in August 2025. No crystal ball here—markets can moon or crater on a whim, especially with tech volatility and tariff drama. Top momentum plays right now: RDDT (Reddit itself, up on user growth irony—because nothing says "diamond hands" like betting on your own echo chamber), CRS (Carpenter Technology, riding industrial rebound), and GHM (Graham Corp, niche manufacturing with strong earnings beats).

>Please explain in English to someone who doesn't speak nonsense. Wow, why are you asking *us?* This. Is. Reddit! Only nonsense is spoken here. However, you'll need to wait for a report like this CRS report to gain a comprehensive understanding of what's happening. [https://sgp.fas.org/crs/row/IF11120.pdf](https://sgp.fas.org/crs/row/IF11120.pdf) That report details all the the US-Japan trade agreements through 2024. But that said, the process to getting to a trade deal is pretty long. It's covered fairly well [here](https://write.as/alexparker/erm-does-the-white-house-understand-how-to-negotiate-trade-deals). The long and short of it is: 1. You get to agreement on a framework 2. Using the framework you negotiate al the technical details (\~2 years +) 3. You have a signing ceremony (it's signed, but not binding) 4. You hope each country's legislatures ratifies the treaty <— trade deals sometimes die here So of the 90 in 90, we have 0 enforcable treaties and 5 countries that made it past the framework stage. The other \~190 countries including majors (eu, ca, mx, cn, tw, sk) are still stuck somewhere in framework development. Basically, check back in .... three years, maybe.

Yeah, I own CRS, hoping for a pull back on ATI. Missed the boat when they were having some union issues. HXL is really interesting, just the growth and ROIC hasn't been there. Not sure why they seem like the odd company out.

_hiddenscout

Still think a lot of the suppliers are better than owning the manufactures. ATI/CRS/HWM have all been killing it. I'd also personally rather own ERJ than BA. [https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=ERJ&p=d](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=ERJ&p=d)

_hiddenscout

ESP, OPXS, MOG.A, LDOS, CRS, MPTI, FEIM, TATT, CW are the ones I own.

_hiddenscout

Yeah, TATT is more just aerospace company, but seeing a lot of growth because of the demand/backlog of planes and jets. It's something not talk about too much, but there is a high demand for jets/planes. A few months ago, went pretty heavy into some of the names in the space and defense area. Found a lot of really cool small defense names. However, a ton of them when on runs, but stuff like ATI/CRS are fantastic companies that don't get talked about much. ERJ is a Brazilian jet company that has been killing it. HWM is another amazing company. On the space/defense stuff. MOG.A is another really interesting name in the space. TTMI and OSIS are some other interesting names. Always do your DD before buying anything, but man, aerospace has been a great sector of recent.

Incredibly. That's why there's such an anti-advisor sentiment in finance communities. Read through Form CRS and ADV part 2 and you'll find all sorts of details about how these firms are compensated in ways you didn't expect. If you're aware of this and want to find someone who doesn't do it, it's very difficult. But here are some places to look: * https://advice.xyplanningnetwork.com/ * https://directory.garrettplanningnetwork.com/ * https://www.napfa.org/find-an-advisor * https://www.feeonlynetwork.com/ * https://hellonectarine.com/

You'll find many, many stories of folks being unhappy with Edward Jones across the investing forums, particularly the bogleheads areas. I don't think advisors are inherently problematic, but you should be aware of: 1. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/How_much_do_you_lose_to_annual_fees_after_many_years%3F 2. How most folks aren't "fee-only" and where all their compensation comes from (learn to read form CRS and ADV part 2)

_hiddenscout

I’ve really enjoyed digging into some of the names. Like MOG.A is a really cool company.  It’s kind of wild how much some drone names have run recently.  There’s even like ATI/CRS that do metal fabrication and HWM that fasteners. 

_hiddenscout

Sorry for the wait, was the gym. Highest conviction names would be like ATI, CRS, MOG.A, HWM, TATT, ISSC Always do your own DD before buying anything, but these are some interesting names to look into.

_hiddenscout

Understandable with the margins, but a lot of hardware companies have those lower margins. Like compare them to CLS or HPE [https://quickfs.net/company/TTMI:US](https://quickfs.net/company/TTMI:US) [https://quickfs.net/company/CLS:US](https://quickfs.net/company/CLS:US) [https://quickfs.net/company/HPE:US](https://quickfs.net/company/HPE:US) It's all like low single digit stuff. I agree though, I tend to not like companies with those margins, but that's just the business landscape for hardware and part of why stuff like NVDA is so impressive. Thesis is just still investing in places that should have tailwinds due to macro trends. Defense/Aerospace is still really strong right now, with a ton of companies reporting great quarters. With TTMI you get exposure both those markets and data centers, that's around 70% of their revenue. I also like companies with low floats to begin with, so TTMI has only like 99M available shares. That's so interesting. Yeah CRS and even ATI, which is a similar company, are both just really interesting. Still the same thesis around aerospace/defense spending.

_hiddenscout

Yeah, before today, but a few other things, mainly in the defense space. TTMI is an interesting company, they do print circuits with most their revenue coming from Defense sector and Data Center. CRS just reported great numbers, they are an interesting name along with ATI. I also bought some ISSC recently as well. Last quarter was bad, but management was saying it's because they acquired some business from honeywell, so part of it was just ramping that up.

_hiddenscout

I recently bought some ISSC. Sold off a lot last quarter, but it seems like management was saying it la because of the on ramping of the Honeywell stuff they bought.  They bought a line of business around upgrading and repairing Honeywell stuff.   Sounds like things should be better later this year. Should also be a revenue growth driver.  TTMI is so interesting. Get to invest in data center and missiles lol.   I also got some MOG.A recently.  There’s so many interesting names out there. Like I own CRS, they just crushed it. They do like custom metal for aerospace and energy names. ATI is another company like that.  Not my style of buying but stuff like KRMN and KTOS are also interesting.  I’ve owned MPTI, which has been killing it. Same with FEIM, just opened a position in them. Both are small caps, but both deal with components in satellites. Amazon just reported they need to like triple or quadruple their production of satellites in hopes of building out constellation.  So many names out there lol. 

_hiddenscout

I think fundamentally, it's not too bad: [https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CRS&p=d](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CRS&p=d) After a movement like this, it might pull back in the next few days. I'm really bullish on them long term. ATI is another company similar to them. I've been really bullish on aerospace and defense names.

_hiddenscout

Crazy intraday swing on CRS. Kind of hard not to like this: >“Building on the record third quarter performance, we expect to carry our operating momentum into the fourth quarter. As a result, we are raising our guidance again for the full fiscal year 2025, now to the range of $520 million to $527 million. This would represent a nearly 50 percent increase over our fiscal year 2024 adjusted operating income and far exceed our initial expectations for the year." Digging into the slide deck now, looks like they are seeing 18% grow YoY in aerospace and defense. Energy is up 26% YoY, looks like they are calling out a high demand for new gas turbines, which aligns with GEV was saying in their quarter.

_hiddenscout

$CRS Q3 Record quarterly operating income of $137.8 million, up 53% year-over-year SAO segment operating margin expanded to 29.1% from 21.4% year-over-year Net sales increased 6% to $727.0 million despite lower shipment volume Generated $74.2 million in operating cash flow Raised FY2025 operating income guidance to $520-527 million Strong liquidity position of $500.4 million 7% decrease in shipment volume compared to previous year Adjusted free cash flow declined to $34.0 million from $61.9 million year-over-year Higher pension contributions affecting cash flow “Carpenter Technology continues to deliver record results, despite disruptions in the supply chains where we participate.

Looking beyond fiscal year 2025, we see exceptional growth in the mid and long-term. As we presented in our investor update event in February, our goal is to reach $765 million to $800 million in operating income in fiscal year 2027, an approximate 25 percent CAGR over the two year period.

There are few companies that will get you some exposure. For a smaller name ITT has some business in the aerospace market. [https://www.itt.com/our-solutions/aerospace](https://www.itt.com/our-solutions/aerospace) Since I can't list the names, here are two small cap companies that are extremely interesting: [https://ir.freqelec.com/static-files/4ae8baee-4fc6-4eb8-8acf-1cb274e0ebd7](https://ir.freqelec.com/static-files/4ae8baee-4fc6-4eb8-8acf-1cb274e0ebd7) [https://s201.q4cdn.com/767782554/files/doc\_presentations/2025/Mar/20/MPTI-Sidoti-Investor-Presentation-March-2025-FINAL.pdf](https://s201.q4cdn.com/767782554/files/doc_presentations/2025/Mar/20/MPTI-Sidoti-Investor-Presentation-March-2025-FINAL.pdf) \^both those companies will get your components in satellites and other industries. Not satellite, but some aerospace/defense names: CRS [https://www.carpentertechnology.com/aerospace](https://www.carpentertechnology.com/aerospace) AMTM/LDOS both are defense names, but have exposure to NASA contracts. [https://www.amentum.com/our-capabilities/space-systems/](https://www.amentum.com/our-capabilities/space-systems/) [https://www.leidos.com/markets/space](https://www.leidos.com/markets/space) If you really want to get more expensive speculative names KRMN just went IPO, they do like hypersonic missiles and other systems, kind of like RKLB [https://karman-sd.com/hypersonics-smd/](https://karman-sd.com/hypersonics-smd/) TTMI is a small company that does circuits for missiles and data centers, those are like 70% of their total revenues now. [https://www.ttm.com/en/markets-we-serve/aerospace-and-defense](https://www.ttm.com/en/markets-we-serve/aerospace-and-defense) I can keep going on and on. Been really nerding out on some of these names, since I just find the companies really interesting.

_hiddenscout

That's the tough part, a lot of had solid runs. TATT is interesting. ISSC is much smaller, but another interesting name in the space. I like CRS, which is more of a metal play with other sectors, like they also do customer things for healthcare. ATI is more of a pure metal play ERJ has seen a crazy run, but the fundamentals aren't bad if you think they can keep up the growth. For more military defense stuff, DRS, CW, MOG.A are really interesting. I like a lot more of the mid cap/smaller companies. That should be a little list to dig into some stuff. Been doing a bit more digging in the last few days, just find it really interesting. So many small niche companies. Like TTMI does missiles and data centers circuits. Low margin business, but interesting how like these little niche companies exist.

GhostsinGlass

Dunno probably 6 months to a year for the Express Entry program if your CRS score is high enough. If you've got an in-demand skill, with work experience, education, etc.

pwendle

From constitution center . Org it says “that The CRS says that President Trump was the first chief executive to use this act in February 2025, when he announced tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. The emergency stated by the president can be terminated at this request, or by a joint resolution of Congress” and the senate has already voted to end the emergency, but only for Canada.

_hiddenscout

I’ve been holding DRS and CW for it. BWXT is interesting, but I like CW since they are do sales yo nuclear plants.  Both CW and DRS are more about engine equipment.  Not sure if they do ship material, but aerospace in general has been in a bullish market. ATI and CRS are both speciality metal companies that do aerospace/defense with other markets like consumer and medical. 

_hiddenscout

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, just was waiting to work today, since it would be easier to type the response lol. Yeah CTLP is really interesting. Seems pretty expensive, but the growth is at least there right now, plus there was some insider buying, which is a good sign. Yeah, I think with the electrical names, it's possible that some of the performance just got pulled ahead as investors were so bullish, but I think long term, the trend makes sense. Just could be some pain in the short to mid term. Yeah, I mentioned ITRI a bit ago. Held and sold, just for some reason, the stock like never moves much. Something similar to like ESE. Was a name I liked and held, didn't do anything, then one earnings report pumped the stock like 30% lol. It's crazy how those low volume names can just run sometimes. I kind of dig them. AYI was one I was kicking myself for not buying. I did a ton more research into like industrial and electrical plays like a few years, when the IRA and infrastructure bills where getting passed. The fundamentals just looked so cheap when I was posting about them and they seem like a well ran solid company. I got lucky with CRS, I bought some like last week before it poped the other day. Personally I love companies that do things in multiple industries. Like they do medical/aerospace/defense vs like ATI is more aerospace/defense. Yeah, HWM was another one of those names that was on my watchlist and just watched it pop like 30% after an earnings report. I got some back in like the 100s and been happy with the company so far. Does feel like aerospace is a good bull market right now. I had a position in WWD, but moved out of it after like 30% gain. Just was happy with the gains and don't want to get too over exposed again, so trying to keep my aerospace names limited. Yeah SRAD is another great GARPY name. It's cool that MLB bought a stake in the company and I feel like the sports betting is just gaining more momentum. I'm always conflicted with it, since I think gambling is fine, but some of the stuff is getting out of hand. Like you can't watch any sports content without an ad or some pushing some odds.

BrobaFett_1

Looking through CTLP some more, I'm going to invest! I even checked out their career page for engineering opportunities haha - nothing near or available though. \+1 on holding the electrical names long-term. I am worried about a reduction in CAPEX spending in future quarters, but not seeing much news indicating that except for the stock prices staying depressed. I was just considering a position in ITRI actually! I believe you mentioned it more than half a year ago? It's been on my watchlist for a while since I heard the name. I sold my position in CARR and GWW to diversify, so I might reallocate some there. Thanks for the new names to follow - AYI / CRS / ATI. I've been interested in HWN forever, but I just keep watching it go up haha. Did you recently open a position? I got WWD after the August drop. It's dated, but I also found this SRAD analysis from 2021. Thought it was interesting comparing it to now: [https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/rkib3w/the\_case\_for\_srad\_to\_hit\_100\_in\_4\_years/](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/rkib3w/the_case_for_srad_to_hit_100_in_4_years/)

Without any waste of time weeding through the noise in the media, look at document page 9 at the bottom of the footnotes, and the note on page 11. They highlight NGOs who have received USAID funds, but tucked away out of the spotlight is the comment that this giant, nearly full page chart is "*incomplete*" and that "*...more than a third of obligations [$50 billion] in foreign assistance.gov are marked as redacted or 'other'*" through exceptions in the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act, in part, to "*protect the national security interests of the United States.*" Doesn't it stand out as odd that we're presented with an enormous volume of information on how benevolent our USAID expenditures are and shown a painstaking breakdown of where, when, and what, only to catch in a footnote that an additional $50 bn went somewhere but we aren't showing that detail because reasons?

You are just making things up. CRS Reports are public information and can easily be found online. It should be easy to cite your source if such a source exists. Also, no. The United States has not given Taiwan $15 billion dollars in direct military assistance. Again, you can provide a single source for any of your ridiculous claims. I seriously hope you aren't a US voter.

>CRS emphasized that “cannabis banking sits at the nexus of this issue, where state-chartered banks are in position to provide banking services to companies that operate legally under state law but illegally at the federal level.” > >“Because each commercial bank has a primary federal regulator, this creates conflict for federal banking agencies to avoid condoning federally illicit activity while also avoiding influencing commerce at the state level that exceeds the prudential authority of the regulators. Further, some regulators have issued enforcement actions related to cannabis banking.” 🗞️

>A Democratic congresswoman is appealing to a GOP-controlled House committee to advance legislation allowing marijuana businesses to take federal tax deductions they’re currently barred from utilizing under an Internal Revenue Service code known as 280E. >During a “Member Day” hearing before the House Ways & Means Committee, newly appointed Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chair Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) made the case for prioritizing the modest marijuana reform to address the industry’s “outdated tax treatment.” >“Like gaming, cannabis has now spread to many states, and it’s a legitimate source of jobs and tax revenue,” Titus said. “It’s legal for medical purposes in 39 states and [recreational] uses in 24 states.” >“Despite this, the outdated scheduling of cannabis as a Schedule I drug means that those who work in the legitimate industry in those states where it’s legal have to jump through hoops to operate just like any other small business does,” she said, adding that the issue at hand—IRS code 280E—falls under the Ways & Mean Committee’s jurisdiction. >280E has long been a source of hardship and frustration for the industry. First enacted in the 1980s as a way to block cartel kingpins from writing off yachts and fancy cars, it stipulates that businesses are ineligible for certain deductions if their income is derived from an illegal drug that falls under Schedule I or II of the Controlled Substances Act. >While they may qualify for state-level deductions, the federal restriction ultimately means that marijuana businesses are subject to a significantly higher taxable income, increasing their effective tax rate up to around 70 percent. >“Section 280E drastically increases prices for consumers and harms businesses that are legitimate in these states, thereby sending people to the illegitimate market where prices are lower,” Titus said at the hearing last week. “Again, as co-chair of the Cannabis Caucus, I hope we can come back and work with this committee to see that we can’t begin to treat cannabis businesses like any other small businesses that operate in so many of our districts.” >Titus and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) replaced now-retired Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Barbara Lee (D-CA) as the Democratic leaders on the caucus earlier this month, and they’ve both advocated for comprehensive reform, including an end to federal cannabis prohibition altogether. >Titus has been particularly vocal about revising federal marijuana laws to address industry issues she’s observed among cannabis businesses in her state, and she recently visited two Nevada operators to discuss their unique challenges given the federal-state policy disconnect. >Meanwhile, in 2021 the Congressional Research Service (CRS) noted in a report that the agency “has offered little tax guidance about the application of Section 280E.” >IRS did provide some guidance in an update in 2020, explaining that while cannabis businesses can’t take standard deductions, 280E does not “prohibit a participant in the marijuana industry from reducing its gross receipts by its properly calculated cost of goods sold to determine its gross income.” >The IRS update seemed to be responsive to a Treasury Department internal watchdog report that was released in 2020. The department’s inspector general for tax administration had criticized IRS for failing to adequately advise taxpayers in the marijuana industry about compliance with federal tax laws. And it directed the agency to “develop and publicize guidance specific to the marijuana industry.” >Multiple states have taken steps to provide state-level tax relief to marijuana businesses that are subject to the IRS 280E statute, but the federal rule has not yet changed. And it’s unclear when the proposed marijuana rescheduling rule might take effect to solve the issue federally. An administrative hearing process has been delayed (and regulatory actions from federal agencies overall have been largely frozen under an order by newly inaugurated President Donald Trump)...

Cisco during the dot com boom was similar to Nvidia during the AI boom : both sold the majority of the hardware underpinning the booms. Cisco's CRS-1 router was over $2 M/each, their Catalyst 6500 series ranged from $10k up to $150k depending on modules, and their modular Nexus 7000 series was $200k+. When you've got phone companies, universities, governments, and large companies all putting in large orders for this stuff, month after month, it's literally raining money at these companies -- and it's no wonder their stock price mooned during that build out phase. NVidia's latest Grace Hopper rack is similar - $50k to $450k depending on modules. It'll be interesting to see if NVdia (and AI demand) reaches a saturation point in quantity but also complexity - or if will continue to scale similar to Moore's law.

Manufacturing issues aside, the combination of their TCR and choice of co-stim 4bb resulted in almost a magnitude reduction in >= grade 3 CRS. This will help it gain market share for sure. Furthermore, I speculate that OBE-CEL is ideal for treating autoimmune disease, where you want to avoid CRS as much as possible.

figlu

True but each treatment is 500k so treating 1000 patients a year is 500 mil revenue. Regarding trial, this is treatment for relapse B-ALL. This disease wouldn’t spontaneously go into remission, so the endpoint is if the drug can achieve complete remission. Also the approved drug is a cd-19 car that they are also testing in lupus, data readout in q1 2025. $CABA working on same thing. The biggest advantage of $auto is safety profile, the first FDA approved CAR-t that does not need REMS. Their tech is based on a TCR that weakly binds MHC to less degree of cytokine release and reduces CRS

heinzmoleman

An 8 patient study with 4 of them experiencing complications and people are really going to throw money at it 🤣. ICANS occurred in a lupus patient. This patient also had an abnormal pro-inflammatory cytokine profile and possible occult infection prior to infusion. But three experienced CRS.

Those 2 stocks couldn't be further apart lol. First of all I might have to go with RKLB over ASTS, but I hold both and LUNR. Big believer in space stocks too. I love IPX because it's so new and unique in their process, which hasn't been reinvented since titanium started being used. I've been holding ATI for over a year with really nice gains. ATI and CRS are other very large established titanium companies if you'd like to check then out.
