How big is your bank roll? I think you are correct in your assessment of Selling vs Buying. Buying a Call hoping the stock goes up and you 4x your money is much riskier than own 100 shares of a dividend paying stock and selling a Call and collecting the Premium. I've been running the so called Wheel by selling Calls above where I don't think the stock will go and by selling CSP below where I think it will be in the next 10 - 21 days and collecting premium and dividends along the way. It's not sexy but I'm avaeraging about 10% per 6 months. (I'm not sure how to calculate ROI% so I use Net Premium collected / Portfolio Value.) For example, I Sold to Open 10 different Calls & Puts with 4 to 11 DTE on MSFT, GD, MMM, AMZN, ORLY, NVDA, TQQQ for $1,450 in Premium and collected $480 in Dividends on Monday. I don't expect anything to be assigned but I'm OK if anything is assigned. They are not all going to be winners. I don't watch the market during the day and only check in after work. Good luck. \*Not ffinancial advice, don't listen to me, past performance is no guarantee o ffuture results.\* \*\*I'm not selling anything and I don't recommend buying courses.

OK so we know that hes purposely manipulating the market, right? What can we do as a collective to either profit off of this or make GD sure that he DOES NOT? Any ideas?

My GD puts expired on the 3rd so its tanking now

SkyHighFlyGuyOhMy

GD as well I think

Otterpoopie

Nah, bers just *think* they understand things better than bulls. In reality, bulls know history and history shows that the US *always* figures out a way to avoid crisis. Anomalies like the GD & GR are once in a lifetime downturns that the goberment *always* finds a way to get us out of.

SuspiciousStress1

I've made bank on BA, LMT(LMA to MIC folks 😉), had a bit of play from GD, RTX, & hoping for big on the current NOC play(should be pretty good). Play what you know!! P.S. the recruiter in me still tracks salaries & job listings, so far it has been a good indicator of who will have the best year(higher pay = the best of the best, usually = best innovation or the most sensitive contracts(ie govt is willing to pay more due to whatever blackwork they find most important & whatever projects have highest clearance levels), there's alot of movement between companies)...I've been watching this for ~10y and it tends to be a good lagging indicator(hubs started with govt in 07(direct govt contractor due to salary constraints)-by '10 he oversaw MIC & kept them to contract language), joined MIC in 18 with an offer too good to refuse...where I joked that they just wanted him out of his role to quit hammering them so hard-lol)). Currently its RTX. Then LMT(they have the best sign on bonuses currently), NOC, LHX, GD, & BA pulling in the rear(which is honestly shocking, they used to lead the pack). Stock-wise I'm deepest in RTX, I'm expecting 2026 will be a big year, I buy more anytime they dip. Also have some LMT, NOC, & BA(not a huge GD fan based on things I've heard, only options plays for them-lol)....and tech because why not 😉

PLTR is not worth LMT, BA and GD combined. Call me crazy.

What do you mean the military isn't selling these items? Who do you think pays for the weapons, bullets, fuels, and thing that go boom? Do you think Lockheed, Boeing and others do it for the good of the country? Let me look at 2023 profits for some big MIL. Lockheed Martin (LMT) - $8.3B, General Dynamics (GD)- $3.3B, Northrop Grumman (NOC) - $2.1B

Decent-Bed9289

It’s not too late bro. I’ve maintained and steadily added to positions in LMT, RTX, DRS, KTOS, AVAV, BAESY, GD, PLTR, and ISMAY. LMT and GD are still pretty cheap, although RTX and BAESY are kinda high atm. However, stocks like DRS, ISMAY, KTOS and AVAV all still have a lot of room left for more upward movement. NOC is another solid pick.

Decent-Bed9289

I’m already loaded up on defense stocks in my portfolio: LMT, RTX, GD, AVAV, KTOS, DRS, ISMAY, PLTR, and BAESY.

LazyTheKid11

I sleep pretty well knowing I own companies that ensure the future safety of the United States, I specifically have GD and LMT in my portfolio as well as PH which some people consider it a defense contractor. "When a drone hits a house, or a missile targets innocent people, is the company you own with fingerprints there." Do you blame Ford when the driver of one of their vehicles is drunk/high and kills a pedestrian? Lol you're not going to guilt me into selling my positions in these companies.

3xonblack

PLTR worth as much as BA, LMT and GD combined, just needs +50% to be worth as much the entire US defence industry combined

janitroll

Welp, maybe he shouldn't have been "the stupidest GD student I ever had" at Wharton. Maybe paid more attention to some Keynesian economics principles on free trade? Huh, maybe? Whataya think?

Amikuto

$986M sounds impressive, but it’s really a band-aid over a bleeding submarine industrial base. GD’s got the contracts, sure — but the backlog, inflation, and workforce issues could eat into margins. Still, if you’re long national security bets, hard to argue against a company building the tip of the spear.

Elegant-Raise

$GD is General Dynamics. $RTX is Raytheon.

I was lazy to pull proper data and just took screenshots of futures from tradingview. They are from before today's open so might've changed. GD, VX, CL then choose for each month from the list.

**Take a look at SHLD, Global defense Tech ETF.** Has 47 holdings defense related around the world. Europe has been rebuilding NATO and their defense budgets are increased. Top holdings are BAE systems, PLTR, Rheinmetall, LMT, GD, LHX, NOC. SHLD at $58.72 per share. Above both 20 day and 50 day moving averages. SLHD up 57% this year to date. 21% per last quarter and 7.0% per lasy month. Nice looking chart.

Happy_Discussion_536

I need to take a break putting 🍟👉👜 for a sec. <rant> There's all sorts of permabears cheering for catastrophe like r/REBubble, WW3 bears, GD 2.0 etc. But the WORST by far are the anti-natalists. Not the poor ones or those due to medical, life circumstances can't have kids even if they wanted. I get it, they may also not have enough of a support structure or shelter, childcare costs are rising even faster than inflation. The super loaded rich nihilists that have completely given up on the human race though? Fuck them. They often consume 10x as much as others. Flying on jets crisscrossing the world. Even though they have all the resources to introduce good humans into the world with solid values, they rather go out with a hedonistic hurrah. Instead of contributing to a solution, they behave in a way that accelerates all our problems. Yes, we need more sustainable forms of energy, all sorts of huge environmental and resource obstacles that need to be overcome. But just surrendering and smugly watching with glee as we head towards population collapse is not the answer. <rant/> Ok, I can get you your milkshake and burger now.

SimilarTap1419

If buy the rumor is still valid we should be trading at 300.00 with PLTR taking the lead roll on the GD contract. Probably a 200 Billion $ contract upfront and 30B annual maintenance.

arun111b

If anyone knows what is going to happen next on TSLA, then they are busy with executing the trade themselves & making $$$. Having said that, TSLA is kind of polarizing ticker for many in both side. Whatever you do from here onwards, you will definitely going to end in disappointment (like you closed early or not closed early because it reversed etc). It is currently trading based on (slightly) fundamentals and mainly on twitter/truth social feud. So, pick a % for your target profit then close/cover the position fully or partially. Then don’t watch or try to know what is happening to the ticker for an hour or day etc. GL & GD.

OldLiberalLady

Well, older boomer here. Not wealthy but lower middle class. Yes, we need the 10% and sometimes more. Property taxes up 21% this year, supplemental health insurance up $65 per month for starters. Let's not talk groceries, prescriptions, and other expenses. And the thought that we're planning on living to 90 isn't a joke, but PAYING some place to will transfer our "wealth" not to our family but to some corporation, paying minimum wage for our care. That's why I keep telling my spouse "spend the GD money"

MinimumArmadillo2394

I know many people who have had to cut back on spending because adding an extra 10% or more to the crushing theta we've had since 2019 is simply too much. I know I used to be able to go to Trader Joes and get food for a week for under $30. Now it's well over $50 without tariffs in the mix. I fully expect it to be close to $80-100. It's going to get worse. It just takes time. Took approximately 8 months for the GD to actually affect consumers since it's official hindsight starting point. We're on month 2 and nothing is set in stone yet but we are already hurting. Stopping trade with china for 2 weeks will show up within the next month around the country, then people will start feeling it. Will be another few weeks before anything on this new tariff sets in. People were already hurting, and this stupid trade war is just exaggerating the issue.

I mean, of course I hope this is real, because if Trump did ANYTHING good for anyone other than himself I would be happy with him because he would in fact be doing his GD job.

All a consumer has to do is think about the number of products they see that say "made in China" or "hecho en China", it's a pretty big GD number. And then do a double take because a lot of products not made in China are made with Chinese components. Slapping 145% tariffs on China is a BIG DEAL. I've got a buddy that's a long shoreman in Tacoma and they unloaded their last pre tariff ship last weekend. The stupidity of Trump's tariffs are about to start slapping all of his magats in the face (~2-3 month time frame). Will shelves actually be empty? No, will there be a lot less volume of products available and will those products have a higher price tag? YES. Will jobs suffer as a result of Trump's stupidity? YES, the volume of cargo processed at ports is already shrinking, the amount of truckers needed to move cargo is dropping, those are the first places to see the effects of restricted trade. The reduction in volume and increased operating costs / reduced profit margins for American businesses will have a cascading effect of shit rolling downhill. There's going to be so much winning that the right probably begin to wonder what was actually wrong with "sleepy Joe". The problem is compounded by the fact that this administration is so volatile that businesses are taking the wait and see approach, they don't want to pay outrageous prices for products if they don't have to, and to be honest Trump changes his mind like his brain is made out of a plinko board.

SandwichAmbitious286

I was a machinist for nearly a decade before starting my business; I have to say, every Chinese company I've worked with has been *fantastic* in terms of flexibility and engineering support. There have been maybe 20 times when an engineering decision had to be made, and I didn't have an answer available, and they would recommend multiple solutions that they knew would work with their equipment and with the part geometry, and then just do it. It was amazing. Often they'd update the original drawing and send me back a copy lol. Super smart, great work ethic, and not afraid of making mistakes. The fabrication company I worked for was exactly how you describe; we required properly toleranced GD&T schematics for any part we made, and I think that's pretty universal in the US (unless you pay gobs of money for "engineering service"). The kicker is, we'd not only charge 3-10x the cost as a machining company in China, but we also had a significantly lower output ability, and the part quality was the same or worse. The biggest thing we had going for us is if the part was super heavy, or if they needed it really fast, Chinese manufacturers wouldn't be a viable solution. The big production difference between us and China is that they started heavily subsidizing manufacturing automation 40 years ago (go to Shenzen sometime, your mind will be blown). They've been dumping huge amounts of cash into it, factories being able to build custom production pipelines using taxpayer dollars. We went the other route, embraced the service industry, and created the billionaire class. So instead of tax dollars creating jobs and lowering the cost of living like China did, the US created the 1% ultra wealthies, and cost of living has been going up since. So yeah, the Chinese parts are cheaper, but in many cases they are also better, because they've invested responsibly to drive the cost down.

Yes, they caused upward pressure on pricing. This was a time where inflation was sub 2%, the discount rate was at historic lows, job growth was strong. That is a time where you have the flexibility to push for change to various issues, such as placing tariffs on a trading partner that is doing questionable manipulation with their currency… ie china. GD, I can’t believe I’m defending this chump right now. This has got to be the one thing he’s done that I don’t disagree with whole hog.

We will both be 66 later this year, and set aside enough to fund our first 5 years of retirement. I’m toying with starting to draw SS, purely to invest the money, but am unsure now- I’ll be fully vested next year. Such a crap shoot, and my husband spends so much time on studying investment strategies even though he has a financial advisor. GD Trump. We are also in the process of buying a foreign business (have a second home already in So America where our daughter and her family live). We have no debt other than a very small mortgage and live in pricey CA, so we need some tax relief. I hate that you can work your entire life and plan well, and then some criminal, bozo POTUS effs it all up, so we pivot. Thank God we can.

More_Farm_7442

That's exactly what he thinks. He's said it for over a year (probably since the 80s). He thinks someone in another country --- actually the "other" governments/states/countries -- will pay to the tariff duties to the U.S. Treasury. Those funds will be enough to offset income taxes. Eventually income taxes and all other taxes can be gotten rid of. He can't be convinced that Americans will pay both taxes. They'll pay higher prices to pay for the tariffs (essentially paying a tax) plus continuing to pay income and other taxes they pay now. He's a GD fool. He's GD idiot.

Ashamed-Fig-4680

The contemporary economy effectively has become a series of micro-recessions spanning all the way back to occupy wall-street. Anyone that’s been tracking the economy for the last decade, which I largely have albeit I’m not a heavy hitting investor or even largely successful at it by any means, knows that we’ve been throttling the balance sheets and cooking books ever since 2012. 2016 was supposed to have a considerable pull back, but was softened and effectively ignored through the bond market 2018 was the same shit, but now induced via market sentiments and strains in credit availability 2019/2020 obviously spanned two crazy ass years where the market’s drop went STRAIGHT to the prior year’s supports and emergency fiscal policies eased pressure from occupy wallstreet’s 2022 saw a lofty pull back and correction, a technical recession developed, and the classification for what even constitutes a recession was conveniently updated 2023 saw the third largest banking failure in economic history, behind 2008 and the GD’s…damn near nobody even heard about it due to media propaganda and unless you are privy to the marketplace it was stomached very quickly 2025 has seen the VIX back into risky territories, and the market is yet again in a volatile swing one way, and the other To offset it all - we all know that data reporting has slowed down considerably since Covid. FRED doesn’t update certain tickers, and will instead contradict the reporting cadence these tickers dutifully release, when they release, how and why they’re always revised, and the real figure is always released extra far after the date it’s recording. So, everyone is also using lagged info from FRED to inform themselves.

BE_MORE_DOG

A few things. Where on social media is there a large push to buy the dip? I spend way too much time on this platform, and it's virtually across the board posts similar to yours saying this will be the next GFC or GD. You can't say something like "this could be worse than the GFC or GD" without providing some really substantial and persuasive arguments backed by solid evidence. Otherwise, you're just another bro with an opinion that the sky is falling. So far, this just looks like a bear market--possibly a sustained bear--but a bear market nonetheless. We aren't yet at a point to be calling the next GFC/GD, and what kind of irks me as I've been around a while now, is that without fail any time the market experiences challenges, folks come out of the wood work to prognosticate that we are facing the mother of all crises. For perspective, remember that the GD saw the market drop just shy of 80% from ATH to ATL. Lastly, we can't act like there hasn't been a serious pullback in stock values. The NASDAQ composite is down nearly 20%. We're talking about an entire index--including many of the most valuable and successful companies in the world--that has clawed back almost a year of gains. This isn't nothing.
