GD

Plane_Vacation6771

RTX when It was sub 90 was an absolute steal. When it comes to defense stocks they are all good long term holds. If you don't have a blend of: GD, LMT, RTX, and NOC to hold for the next two decades you're going to miss the party

Zealousideal_Wind135

Same thing with $GD War Money baby

Ryancarlson12

My GD calls better print.

HSFSZ

ALL IN ON THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!?? $BA $LMT $RTX $NOC $GD!!!! Going to be a billionaire tomorrow thx to Uncle Sam!

FlythroughDangerZone

And now we have a conflict escalated. Whoever bought calls on the RTX, LMT, or GD, with puts on SPY, congrats!

LV080606

GD a close under 500 right here will cause erectile dysfunction

Xdaveyy1775

Should have done the opposite and went US defense contractors - GD, RTX, LMT, NOC, HII, LDOS, BAH, SAIC

Senior-Signature802

Call options on coinbase is really good right now before the BTC halving. Also call options on GD are pretty good. Lots of demand for ammunition, earnings soon.

koolerb

GD owns Gulfstream. Textron owned LearJet and killed the brand.

CorndogFiddlesticks

GD owns Learjet along with diversified government services. Learjet won't take over commerical air, but it's a really good part of a really good business.

HotSarcasm

If you really think GD could build planes from scratch without involving Boeing or Lockheed or Airbus, go ahead and dump your money there. Zero chance they are winning major aircraft manufacturing contracts right now. Their Gulfstream acquisition 25 years ago was after dumping Cessna and their F-16 programs off to Lockheed. They have a scale problem for aircraft, especially large ones. Plenty of reasons to go in on GD, this ain’t one.

Sneagle47

Just picked up some LMT, NOC, and GD recently. This seems like an absolute win

AirborneMarburg

Congress needs to step in and write another blank check to the military industrial complex. My calls on war are not going to print on a flat day. LMT RTX NOC GD 🇺🇸🦅

Ryancarlson12

My GD calls better fucking print

TealSeam6

Boeing is a mix of commercial aerospace and defense. GD has some exposure to business jets, but the bulk of the revenue is defense.

TealSeam6

GD is NOT a YOLO growth stock, this a buy-and-hold play, a great one in fact. GD is one of only two American companies capable of manufacturing submarines, and they are the prime contractor for many US Army land systems. Most of these contracts are decades-long and viewed as high-priority for the DoD, giving GD excellent stability and a wide moat. Similar to Boeing, GD is “too important to fail” in the eyes of the government. The downside is that this is a very mature company that doesn’t seem to offer many opportunities for rapid growth.

benji3k

Most my money comes from RTX and DFEN but i will now diversify into GD!

Miss-6am

I'm buying RTX but you can't go wrong with GD

Dwittster

I figured you fuckers were the best place to ask this. I missed the GD/LMT/NOC/RTX bull run for Ukraine AND October 7th cause I slept in. Should I bother racking up on defence stocks Monday morning, or stay off cause this doesn't have much do with U.S. defence companies? Are there any international firms I should look to? ​ I'm asking cause I thought "Damascus" was just the COD MW2019 wrap, but I guess its also a city or smth, and i don't know shit about the defence industry.

Bondrip

All the defense contractors are in the S&P  $GD $LMT $RTX $NGC $BA

Kekulzor

Hundreds of billions in backlog between the major defense contractors, all operate basically the same way due to the rigid US government submissions / acceptance processes RTX, GD, and BA have large commercial components where-as LMT and NOC are almost pure weapons manufacturers. The US gov specifically divides projects between them, and also blocks mergers between them so they can have competition but there are still sole bidders on massive projects

Semperfi74

LMT,PLTR,LLAP and GD - calls,calls,calls !!! War not priced in yet

StonkScott

My GD Calls too 💰💰

AirborneMarburg

Congress is going to give the military industrial complex billions of dollars this week. GD, LMT, NOC, LHX, RTX 

Pensacouple

Long GD, LMT, RTX.

Prolapsed_butthole

I think your reasoning is sound. I’m personally already long on RTX, LMT, and GD. Northrop probably gets a big fat check for more air defense systems.

RatKR

GD taxes eh?

danceswithdogs13

Yeah Raytheon and GD were our main contractors. We made parts for the patriot missile and hellfire missile etc. Usually times like this countries stockpile arms I've seen.

ted-clubber-lang

The Republicans in Congress are looking for a new scapegoat and I heard them bitching about it today on C-SPAN. The FAFSA website. Here's a stock tip: short GD -- because GDIT was the contractor hired to develop the FAFSA website.

AirborneMarburg

I bet that this week Congress will finally pass the supplemental defense bill that the Senate passed with aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Defense primes get a large chunk of that because it goes in the form of military equipment not cash. Calls on RTX, LMT, GD, NOC, LHX.

UberHaxorMarty

LMT and GD calls on open full port 3 month expiry

AirborneMarburg

I have calls in RTX, LMT, GD, LHX, NOC, LDOS that I bought at the beginning of April with the intention of selling before earnings in a few weeks. I thought there was a good chance that a Ukrainian aid package would pass but they’ve mostly been bleeding this month until this Iran stuff picked up.

Ryancarlson12

GD?

Ryancarlson12

Will GD actually benefit? I have calls 😂

TheMeta40k

You forgot GD.

Fun_Muscle9399

If only GD saw fit to give me a proportional raise 😅

No_Annual_5164

GD'S been absolutely killing it in the past 2 years... And hopefully, LHX becomes a new prime

AirborneMarburg

GD, RTX, NOC, LHX too. I love them all.

AirborneMarburg

I hope something blows up soon or Congress passes a military aid package next week. Our weapons engineers are the real strength behind the dollar. RTX, GD, LMT, LHX, NOC. 🦅🇺🇸

GroceryFrosty7274

Iran please wait until Tuesday so I may buy GD calls

thee_jaay

GD. I couldn't even imagine posting on here after a loss like that. I'd be crying and hitting the bottle.

JackInCoolBluz

BA LMT RTX GD and NOC to Iran: Fucking pussies... Too big of pussies to start a war

ExpressStrategy7377

he is balls deep in GD calls actually

DunGonRndDaBnd

With calls on Haliburton Lockheed GD and the like as Bidens World War gets underway.

shit_ape_from_hell

Hello fellow regards. How do you plan to make money with the potential Iran/Israel conflict? Is there anything better than going long RTX, GD and LMT ?

terraresident

What you need to start on is your 5 year plan. What result do you want in 5 years, then figure out how to get there. Since you have time, mostly avoid the riskier stocks and go for the solid ones with 2-4.5% dividend yield. Defense is always rock solid, and there looks to be huge growth in cybersecurity. The population is aging, drugs are a big deal. And no matter what, people need to eat and do the laundry. Strong companies with good dividends are Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, IBM, LMT, GD. Split your approach. 70% into sturdy breadwinners that will last through an apocalypse. 30% run with the wind. Some of the mining stocks have very high dividends (11-13%) but must be babysat as their share price swings wildly around the ex-dividend date. No shortcuts, you know. Make that simple spreadsheet with two views: long term invest and dividend gambling (don't kid yourself, its gambling). For the dividend sheet, list your stocks in order of div yield. You need a column for the ex-dividend date-keep an eye on it. These stocks will rise slowly until the div date, then crash three days later. You are waiting to buy in at the crash. Figure out at what number the stock has increased in value more than it will pay in dividend. If that happens, sell out. If it doesn't, sit on it for the quarter and collect the massive dividends. Invest the dividends into one of the solid stocks. Every three months, review your holdings. Adjust as needed. Ignore the hysteria in the news and stay the course. Best of luck to you.

Military spending as percentage of GDP has been fairly stable. What is driving deficit spending is growth in the sectors I mentioned as well as revenue cuts. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locations=US

RTX, LMT and GD are down 2%+ premarket, my Iran calls are so fucked. Wtf Iran? can you just start the fucking war already so I can have my lambo?

LV080606

GD bro that was personal

Broke4Life

Yeah I was sooooooo GD sure too, that is what burns me.

KingFishofFlorida

So when IRAN strikes this week do we buy PUTS ON SPY? MAYBE CALLS ON GD OR NG?

Keep my stonks name out your GD mouth

AirborneMarburg

Having the Defense stocks pump, saved my ass today. I bought may exp calls for GD, NOC, and LHX on Monday to hold until earnings. NOC and LHX been bleeding ever since I bought, I averaged down yesterday because shit was bleeding off no news. Today got me basically even on NOC and LHX. 

AirborneMarburg

If Congress passes the defense supplemental when they get back from recess next week the defense primes are going to rocket like they did today. Also, they all have earnings this month, might be some good opportunities to buy and hold until earnings. LHX, NOC, LMT, RTX, GD

VeryQuiet1

You know GD well I don’t smoke that shit Shaggy !

redditmodsRrussians

Its a hard lesson. I got out pretty good on popcorn stock before they went full regard on infinite dilutions on their way to $0. Made a bad call on towel gambling on a breakup play that never materialized. I let that one literally ride to $0 and get swept out of my account lol. Those goofy high risk plays taught me to take profits which is what I did on Goog, NVDA and GD recently. Probably gonna sit out for a few months on cash to see how things shake out a bit. As the saying goes, sell in May and go away.

surfinbird

GD I should’ve bought CGC calls at the open

volume fell of a GD cliff

Idk if I want to buy more GD or MPC.

I ain't no bag holder you stupid bot! I'm an options holder getting deeper ITM and enjoying a GD win for a change!

christinlewin

Vividly remember the day in 2006 when the first Chipo popped up near us, and my brother in law raved about it. . . . told us to buy stock at IPO, around $50 GD

LV080606

GD I hope you’re right

Anxious_Possession_4

I thought I hated TESLA. No, I FUCKING hate MSTR. This is the slowest moving GD stock I’ve ever fucking traded. About to cut my losses simply because I’m bored af. Patience grasshopper, patience. Fml.

Ok-Battle-2769

RTX and GD baby!!!!

Desperate_Stretch855

There are THOUSANDS of stocks in the market. Long term opportunities include: - Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers: Huge build-out underway and the companies that make the equipment that make the chips are a massive opportunity without the risk that another company comes up with a better mousetrap. Look at AMAT, KLAC, LRCX, Et... - Defense Stocks: Huge scale-up in Western Military in response to Russia and China at the exact moment competition is falling as Russian/Chinese equipment has been demonstrated to be inferior. Look at HII, GD, AVAV, Etc... - Biotechnology (use a broad industry ETF here) - Energy Companies with strong cash-flows and disciplined mgmt.: Look at EPD, ET, SHEL, Etc... Tons of opportunities- buy on dips, reinvest dividends and hold for the long-term and you can nicely compliment your core equity exposure (index funds).

Josepth_Blowsepth

I bought GD, LMT, PLTR,LDOS,L3HXHarris and J and RTX at the same time last year. GD, LMT, J and LDOS are printing. The others (RTX, L3HX and PLTR) had short pops that bled out over the next couple weeks and I punted them

seasick__crocodile

I would look at their delivery volume by quarter in prior years, just make sure you look include prepandemic years in that. Look into the engine suppliers for their top selling aircraft and see if you can find out whether their engine delivery volume is growing. Keep an eye on performance of peers like Gulfsream (GD subsidiary), Bombardier, etc. Lastly, as far as events go, I’d look into to timing your expiration for some time after the Farnborough air show this summer. They will save any big order announcements for that week and there’s always a chance they formally announce a new aircraft variant or program during the show. The summer air shows (they alternate between Paris and Farnborough every year) are the industry’s biggest trade shows. The three days before opening the venue to the general public, execs from the entire industry are in wall-to-wall meetings and PR events.

If Waller comments this evening & GD🅱️ report tmw morning make the market open (fake) red, load full 0 DTE calls around 10-10:15

WTH hell was that?!?!?! I'm not complaining but GD it went off in the last 35 minutes

GD someone on here knows how to pull actual financial fillings from EDGAR. Thought I would never see that on this subreddit

Still waiting for the GD ticker to switch on my brokerage account

Throw a dart at any other defense company for a better return. GD, RTX, LMT.

Catzpyjamz

MFer can live anywhere in the GD world he wants, and he chooses Florida? To save money???

Cid-Itad

RTX, BA, LMT, GD, HII will all benefit. Our military industrial complex ain't going away.

_jaelewis

1. NVDA - obviously 2. APPLE - still waiting for that 🍎📺 3. TSM - leading semi-conductor manufacturer & plans to construct manufacturing center in the USA 4. RTX - buy, buy, buy, buy, this while it's dipping. 5. GD - you can't go wrong with mitary contracts in the aerospace a ship making business I'm currently waiting on retro-pay for my military service connected disabilities BUT once that hits, I'm going to make $1000 Long Calls for 1/25. I just gotta see where I can get in during that time frame. On another note... are we shorting RDDT or what? are we going to make it another AMC/GME?

Bootziscool

GD. As long as America keeps investing all the money in war that stock will keep rising. And you get sweet bumps every time a war starts!

Send_Lawyers

Do your own google. Multi year contracts for lrasm, and 5 other weapon systems are included in the bill being signed today. If the government doesn’t shut down Raytheon general dynamics and Lockheed are gonna move slowly up and crush earnings The 8 ships are also in that package so GD is gonna print.

No-Basis8475

Would be such a GD shame if we gave 20 points back to SPY

DD here has been slappin for a couple weeks. GD, HIMS, some NVDA and MSTR…been a good month so far. Thanks regards - good luck today 

mainegirl26

I wouldn't exactly say "way down"... last month the avg price of a used car was reported at $27,000. That's still 32% above pre-covid prices. They spiked in 2022. New Car avg price peak was in 2022 as well and it was 48,516. It has dropped 1.2% as of last month. Woopie. There's plenty of chips.... so what's the deal? Greedy ass mf that's what. My husband and I own a small school bus company. Our parts bill has doubled. And we're contracted in for another year so just have to eat it like we have been for last 2 years... not to mention the school districts in the small towns we serve are hurting too... right along with the tax payers who are footing the bill. And don't even get me started on insurance.... what a GD joke that is. Rates through the roof, you're required to carry, then when you have a legitimate claim it's too bad so sad we're not paying. Last summer a power pole on our road literally snapped in half (it was all rotted and the power company never replaced it) as a truck was driving by- the pole and the live wires fell on top of the truck. It ripped the wires harnesses off our 2 buildings- 8 grand worth of damage. We pay to have it fixed- make a claim to the insurance company like they told us to- and then they say "well the power company is refusing to pay so we're not paying the claim". Ummm what?! I don't pay the power company for insurance. INSURANCE pays the claim- and if they can recoup their money great- if not then not my problem?! Still haven't gotten paid. This winter our rental flooded- we are FEDERALLY REQUIRED to carry insurance. It's a ways away from the river but sure enough, this year we had unprecedented flooding. Go to make a claim... guy calls back and informs me it's a $10,000 deductible. Lovely. Guess we'll pay to fix it ourselves. Our school bus insurance agent- which we've never even made a single claim thru- told us to just "pay ourselves" when a driver backed into a fire hydrant because the carrier would drop us if we made claim and no one covers school buses anymore. So that was 6 grand out of pocket. And because everything is so out of control my husband decided to drop his health insurance through the marketplace for 2023- found a new plan starting 2024. Had a heart attack Dec 21, 2023, was hospitalized for 2 weeks and had quadruple bipass surgery (with multiple complications and an extended stay in the CCICU). New Health Insurance plan kicked in Jan 1, 2024 the literal day he was discharged 🤣🤣. Hospital bill- $238,242. Gotta love this country.

Menumber1

Grabbed 2k worth of RTX when it was in the 70’s amid the engine recall troubles. Now up to $95.  I enjoy having defense exposure, but not sure there’s much upside here anymore, though the dividend is at least decent. Is it time to take gains?  Are there any defense stocks that look like better value? Or is Raytheon still look like a good investment. This is in a Roth BTW. LMT looks cheaper. I like GD in general as well. Thoughts?

Appropriate_Theme479

Dude I usually like your post, but the GD thing ?

Sensitive_Expert8974

Thanks for this DD I was looking at BAE systems but I think your post has highlighted a better opportunity in GD

Not if the govt decides to nationalize the commercial branch and force them to sell the space and defense branches to the likes of Lockheed, Grumman, GD, etc

generouscookie1981

No offense and not to diminish the effort and wall of text... But no one cares when we have been fighting one of the most successful campaigns against poverty and reducing inequality since the GD. If real incomes are terrific, layoffs low, robust number jobs created, tons of demand for workers and opportunities, it doesn't matter. Financial well-being of poor, minorities and disabled is soaring. Historically marginalized groups that have consistently been left behind. No one cares about hypothetical inflation spiral when economy is doing so well for workers. If we get actual solid evidence of resurging inflation... Let's talk. It's not even close to there yet.

JayLoo67

It only makes sense if the GD government stops printing trillions of dollars for stupid shit like forgiving student loans, DEI programs, banning ICE vehicles, and paying for millions of illegals to invade and stay in the US.
