Idk since I opened my Roth IRA I’ve always held some Nvidia, Intel, and AMD And some defense stocks like Raytheon and LMT Along with a couple EFTs I’m considering selling though for once but idk what I’d replace them with

Intelligent-Log191

That wasn't one bad pick, it was ticker roulette with margin. AMD -> AMZN/INTC -> LMT/FIG -> RDDT -> uranium -> NOW all-in is not a portfolio, it's revenge trading in a trench coat. Next trade needs a max loss and an invalidation before you click buy, or the family finds out eventually.

wampum

I’m not really sure, I was just feeling lucky. I think it’s a combination of things, including the prospect of an Iranian peace deal, inflation meeting expectation, and a rotation away from the defense industry primes (LMT, RTX, NOC, etc) into smaller players, more focused on modern battlefield tech, like drones and cheaper things like the jet ski bombs. A lot of my high risk picks with nice hype and not nice financials were green today. So who knows?

I want to follow too. Guess I need to pick up LMT and DJT

GuyFieriFrostedTips

LMT. I want some more juice before I sell these June calls. Get in there. Sell some missiles. Let’s go.

HammerAndSickleBot

Look, 47 promised to get us back to where we started in 1-3 years. What more you do you people want? Now we need to get him a third term to give him a chance to give us $4.50 gas again and to get LMT to $700. It's only fair.

bullish on LMT

BladeFireQ

I'm waiting for NOC and LMT to fall more, I been looking at the past and they seem to follow the same trend, they go absolutely crazy and then they fall like 40%, we are now into that -40% stage but I do believe that they can fall a little bit more, but if you are a long time Investor and you want to hold the company for +5y this price is insane, their numbers are really good they have one of the biggest moats on the world and it's that USA can't let them go, so even if their prices go absolutely nuts they can't say shit more that buy, so yeah I'm bulling on the stock even if there is peace

banksy_h8r

> I was like "how do you even get a return on bombs?" LMT and NOC

EmergencyFair6786

War stocks have been my worst performers. I bought when Biden was elected. Figuring that the only concession Republicans would make to pass bills would be ever expanding MIC, and Raytheon is my best performer, in six years, at about 140%. LMT is only 43%. 

iamwhiskerbiscuit

Technically... It's looking like a good setup. We saw a long consolidation phase at the 320 SMA on the daily chart. And confirmed support there. On Friday, it managed to clear the 200 SMA and 21 EMA closed above both before the bell. Which is bullish. Above that level... There is no technical resistance until the 50 SMA which is about $40 above the current price. So this has got a lot of room to run. However it's equally far away from the 320 support line, and we could definitely see it fall back to that level. Fake breakouts are a common thing and you generally want to confirm the breakout. Which means giving it another day or two to close strong above the 200. Which means losing out if you're right. But preventing a loss if you're wrong. Because it could fall back to the 320 SMA again. Think of it like buying insurance for your trade. Will it help with this trade? Maybe, maybe not. But it will help you from incurring large losses if you incorporate it into your trading strategy. What i don't like from the breakout was lack of volume. Understandable, because it was just before a holiday. But the lack of volume doesn't give me a ton of conviction in the breakout either. I want to see volume really pick up on Tuesday for me to be confident in this trade. Fundamentally, investors have been selling off shares due to execution challenges, stagnant growth, and shrinking cash reserves.However, Aerospace manufacturing is booming right now. A LMT location in my state just added on a night shift and is hiring machinists, and as a machinists, everyone in this industry has seen an explosion of work this year. So I'm confident they will be releasing better than usual quarterly returns in late July. So yes, this does look like a good setup. I like it on a fundamental and technical level.

Specialist_Exam_8433

It's 2/3rd Lockheed valuation when RKLB doing 200 million a quarter in a field with no clear path to profitability except telecom (space) vs LMT 20 billion a quarter in a growing field (defense) lmao. But even if it does go down it's just going to go right back up tbh. Scam stock like TSLA.

Odd_Papaya8305

Will defense stocks like LMT fall now that the war is over

ithastogoupfromhere

bought the LMT dip

xixihaha456

Buying here probably requires a long time horizon. LMT doesn’t look like the kind of stock that suddenly doubles overnight.

krispyseaweed

I second defense like LMT because there are geopolitical tension going on and these world leaders cant stand but do something offensive for their own country. USA will be the world leader once again selling weapons to both sides.

Creative Financial Designs Inc.

Indeed, liberalism belongs only to the wealthy and the healthy.

h3xasaurus

the 5Y chart is mostly a story about the 2022 spike and the recent geopolitical bid, not really evidence of 'always thriving.' (also the US has been continuously engaged in some form of military operation for basically the entire modern history of LMT.) Annualized it's underperformed the S&P. If you want to evaluate LMT specifically, look at forward earnings vs. peers, the F-35 program outlook, and free cash flow. the chart won't tell you whether $523 is a good entry.

ProofByVerbosity

LMT has always been a long play, and I believe they have a small dividend as well. I don't think you'd see eye-watering gains, and defence stocks had their run up when war broke out, but those fat juicy government contracts aren't going anywhere and U.S. will always spend more on their military, so I wouldn't be worried holding it. I flip some from time to time

znightmaree

LMT, NOC, and RTX are all good buys here in my opinion.

i_empathetic

Iran could've had nukes at pretty much any time the last 10-15 years, they decided not to. They had a leader who was essentially the Pope of all Shia muslims who issued a religious order that said making a nuclear weapon was not allowed. They had Uranium ~60% enriched. It's easier to go from 60% to 90% than it is to go from 1% to 10%. They already did the hardest part of enrichment, it gets exponentially easier the further down the curve you are. They purposefully did not go further. Then the orange tard shredded the diplomatic nuclear oversight deal Obama made and killed the anti-nuke leader and a bunch of his family. Iran now has way, way more motivation and reason to finish that process than ever. There's a reason why we don't fuck with North Korea. Iran will want that deterrence going forward. They never needed a special engineer to do it, they were holding off on purpose at the behest of their now-dead supreme leader. Woops. Long LMT, RXT, GD.

Happy-Control5922

fwiw the cleaner expression is the peace-dividend basket not RKT. defense (LMT/RTX) gets hit, oil unwinds, yields keep softening, all more direct than rate-sensitive financials. polymarkets june 30 deal tenor was the value spot a couple weeks ago, already ripping

JoelD88W

defense stocks honestly... everyone's been calling them overextended for like 18 months and they just keep grinding up. RTX, LMT, even some of the smaller primes. feels stupid to short anything with a government contract right now. could absolutely be wrong tho — i thought semis looked stretched in 2023 and we all know how that went lol

version-two

RDW is like a picks and shovels play for space. Think hardware and tech for someone like SpaceX, NASA, LMT?, etc. aerospace. I’m not going to pretend I’m an expert on the ticker though. I’m not a big fan of mgmt, but I do think they are positioned to succeed and with some better decision making down the road, they can grow with the rest of the sector. They make solar arrays, sensors, low/zero-gravity engineering tools and stuff I believe. Higher risk/reward I reckon, but probably worth taking a look at in the space.

Brutally-Honest-Bro

LMT going to get some traction from Golden Dome, right? I'm buying up on its dip

AlfrescoDog

I haven’t parsed their latest earnings (yesterday), but the drop is tied to the defense primes. If RTX, LMT, LHX, etc. are falling, KRMN will continue to fall. I started loading up at $67, added a bigger share at $60, and will continue to do so, as long as there’s no specific bad catalyst related exclusively to KRMN. But I am aware that it might take time.

Lockheed Martin (LMT) **an aerospace and defense company**, engages in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of technology systems, products, and services in the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and internationally. Think F35's and missile systems. Things that other things go boom.

LMT, seems like every neighboring nation are getting annoyed with each other before a war arises. USA will be the world police again and LMT is there to profit from it.

Calls on LMT and BWXT

jrex035

Sure, but are Democrats going to be lining up behind MP, and Intel, and PLTR? Are they going to keep the government's investments in these companies? I'm skeptical, especially of PLTR, which is likely to become a major target of Democratic investigations. Also why is it that these companies benefit from such a "critical" position, but so many others do not? Is HII not the only major US shipbuilder left? Will we be buying direct shares in LMT and RTX soon too? And dont get me started on the historical track record of companies that receive this kind of preferential treatment from the government (hint: prices go up, quality goes down).

Why the frick is LMT dumping so hard? Im sorry, I thought we were in the middle of a war

Odd_Papaya8305

Buying some LMT calls here

ChairmanMeow1986

So I'm going to try and explain it to my understanding of what I think I saw happen, including mechanics. \------------- 1. The blockade of the straight of Hormuz Oil shock and Oil infrastructure. Yes there was an initial market reaction to the war, but you even saw defense stocks rally for a second. Pull up LOC, LMT, RTX, and SHLD with a comparison tool they were rallying on tensions Feb 25th to March 2 (they made a nice move up in concert), but than the straight was closed and more and more Oil infrastructure started getting damaged. So you have a global supply shock to one degree or another as Oil (et all, lots of important stuff flow through their) so increased cost and other second hand economic disruption cost (i.e general inflation/growth slow down) to one degree or another across the globe. So it becomes a question of how bad this is going to (mostly how long will it last). 2. Obviously the market grinds down the longer it lasts, the worse it will be and the chances of more infrastructure damage (long-term disruption increases). This went on for 6 weeks, culminating in the US Admin threatening to 'destroy a civilization.' Think there is some military axiom that goes something like, 'if you want to see how hard men can fight, give them nowhere to retreat.' Also, one that goes something like 'if you kill the generals there is no one to negotiate with,' but I digress. 3. Retail, Institutions, hedge funds reacted to this (and I forget if it was the S&P500 or QQQ that entered dipped into a correction, by definition) this realized decline of price and market cap over weeks. Retail might capitulate, buy puts, generally hedge risk in some way(maybe reallocated to dividend earners, whatever). More sophisticated, or at least larger, market participants are actively managing as price moves down and risk increases. The thing that is the same for all though is sentiment is in the dirt if not offal. \-They end up positioned for downside. If people are buying puts into a correction, it's a wide spread and market makers charging out the ass or not providing liquidity on longer DTE's and are cushing the decline after a certain point by wanting to by shares to remain delta neutral if there is a heavy concentration of sold OTM contracts below spot price they need to hedge at that level. \-Other Participants, particularly hedge funds, sell shares short. That is they pay a borrowing cost mostly to the brokerage (some to the individual entity that actually owns the shares). This is a completely different dynamic to the role puts play mechanically. So what first happened is as fear eased and spot price increased it became riskier and more costly to pay the borrowing fee so shorts closed. That means they had to buy actual shares to close their positions. That accelerated the relief rally, i.e the shorts got squeezed to establish upside liquidity. This was supported by the questionable, but continuing improvement on the possibility of resolution to an extent. Much more so, imo, by the underlying strength of the on-going earnings reports from the US. \------------ So not necessarily a bubble and this market move is not 'because people are buying calls.' What you think happened was a gamma squeeze, that's different. Look at it like MM hedge within a range (you can look at that like put/call walls for the most part (or more accurately, if shorter-term, the bid-ask spread). The range (especially short-term) will move up and down / widen and contract depending mostly on price movement and RV (realized volatility- often speed pricing effecting IV/VEGA at different DTE's, depending on ITM/ATM/OTM). For a gamma squeeze you want repeated unexpected good new/resolution of risk to push spot/trading price outside that range quickly and repeatedly in one direction. That creates negative gamma exposure for someone (usually MM's) forcing them to reinforce the move for short time at least. That actually seems very unlikely to me at this point and I think we are at a consolidation/slight re-tracement period (if dips get bought) imo for hot parts of the market. I'd like to see some broadening out and reshuffling from hot sectors to judge continuation in the next month I guess. Good sector/industry action imo.

I agree with u both about long term but I’m talking about short term. I guess this was more of a day trade post. LMT is up and my analysis says it’ll go up more over the next month. I’m putting a lot of weight on the NDAA(which I know requires funding), restocking the military after recent conflict(s), the current admins wishes for more defense spending, and republicans being in office.

Illustrious_Mix4946

LMT Calls were just not right, Market psychology signals show distribution. Down-day volume is exceeding up-day volume, suggesting institutional selling or reduced buying conviction. From a behavioral finance perspective, the crowd may still be in denial about the shift in market character. Watch for a capitulation event (high-volume selloff) which often marks an emotional extreme and potential turning point. There are 2 more bad calls in the pic you send https://preview.redd.it/ceavgeiaenyg1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa663df04af32010cb7cc47e3f397e274da0c29e

sentientshadeofgreen

I think they are very different companies and RKLB will continue to be positioned for growth down the stretch. Unlike LMT, NOC, and company whose revenue expectations are very predictable, Rocket Lab isn’t married to bidding for defense contracts and there are more lucrative opportinities they are exploring. The vertically integrated moat they are building around space services, and lasercom specifically, positions them very well to be compete in providing infrastructure to the telecommunications market, which is expected to grow to 3.6 trillion USD by 2035. RKLB doesn’t need to be direct to consumer in this regard, they can make their money partneitng with telco companies, putting their infrastructure in orbit, keeping it in orbit, and pushing lightspeed data for carriers. And again, that’s just one bucket of potential revenue, they have a lot of different opportunities they can grow towards if they find it economical.
