I am still building out my portfolio, so hope to gradually diversify whenever possible. My first winning trade this year was buying shares of the Rheinmetall ADR (RNMBY) back in February, but then I started learning more about portfolio theory, option strategies, etc. I am interested in the DAX, CAC, and others in due time once I have collected sufficient capital to diversify.
made a shit ton off of $RNMBY this year
Question: Is there any other firm that will allow me to buy positions across different multinational markets? Right now I am with Interactive Brokers and hold various stocks across EU markets. I opened the account when I wanted to buy a bunch of EUAD and found that none of the standard brokers here would actually let me buy EUAD. However, I really dislike IBKR’s UI and their customer service is lacking… I have everything else in Merill, and while their tech interface sucks it’s a significant upgrade. Would love any insight. Currently hold shares of Italian, British, German, Swedish, French, and Danish corporations. I could have purchased a few of my positions on OTC markets, but not RNMBY or EUAD, which is a massive percent of my IBKR portfolio. Thank You!
This explains why my RNMBY shares are sad.
Fair enough I guess. But there is a difference between pure speculation and investing based on geopolitical awareness. There is a chance that RNMBY wasn’t the one that was going to pop sure, but it was very clear in December 2021 that the EU was going to ramp up defense spending. There weren’t a lot of places to throw that dart.
You’re letting hindsight cloud your judgement, if all of that was as obvious as you’re saying RNMBY would have already been up that much in 2021. I’m glad that bet worked out for you, but for every RNMBY there are tons of other stocks that never take that jump despite “obvious” conditions.
Boggleheads missed out on RNMBY (amongst others) RNMBY is why I never have to worry about being homeless. I think the better strategy is to be a Bogglehead and study how geopolitics impacts macro economics. Anyone paying attention in December 2021 knew Russia was going to do some dumb shit and that Europe was eventually going to re-arm itself given that Trump was threatening to leave NATO at the time in various rallies. RNMBY is up 2400% The Boggleheads missed Generational wealth.
I got laid off and, but thankfully I have a unique skillset that enables me to do very non-traditional but quite dangerous work. This was supposed to be temporary and for fun but I don’t think I’ll be a boring corporate stooge again anytime soon. Will probably just have to start my own firm eventually. But thanks to RNMBY (bought December 2021) I don’t really have to worry about day to day expenses anymore.
I could legitimately never work again in my life if I was willing to live off ramen and solar power in a tiny house because of RNMBY. Bought in Dec 2021 when Putin was saber rattling. Best decision I ever made.
I only got in RNMBY in March, still up 80%. But man do I wish I got in earlier if I knew the current US administration would kill the US arms/defense industry's appeal to international customers.
RNMBY :) ammunition is most important with a major shortage.
The ones that I held onto after it goes back entry crashes again. The ones that I sold after it reach entry rocket off. Ex NVDA, PLTR, RNMBY, TSLA
Sadly, RNMBY doesn't have an options chain.
ASML and RNMBY I’d like to hear what others think 🤔 but I do have high conviction for these two in the mid to long term.
RNMBY is my savings account
US Treasuries $530k, various, cash flow and savings DISV $300k, April '25, I wanted a big factor tilt VFIAX $215k, this is my wife's 403b and there aren't many options RNMBY $200K, November '24, thought Western security order would be changing w/Trump win. KDEF $200k, March '24, just a bet (a lucky one)
I bought RNMBY in Feb 2025
My RNMBY stocks say differently.
Euro has been staying strong compared to USD. Money flowing to Euro so I’ve moved a large share to European defense stocks like RNMBY
I was buying up military industrials in EU before this. I will continue to do so. The need for war materials just keeps growing on a global level. With more of American weapons tied up in the Middle East that will further enhance demand for EU weapons to counter Russian advances in Ukraine and then later in other EU nations. Russia has become a rather persistent warmongering presence that will threaten Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Poland, and plenty more. RNMBY is my favorite, but look into Leonardo and others too, there’s plenty to go around.
It's very difficult. The most important thing is to ride your winners and never sell 100 pct of your position. I bought Rheinmetall in Jan 2024, sold almost 30 pct last year to recoup some of my initial investment, holding the rest. If I could magically delete the RNMBY and CRWD tickers from my portfolio and check them again next summer, I would.
I don't think it's too late per say, but personally I wouldn't be surprised if it under performs for a bit. Look up some of the European defense names, they are up like 100% like the past 6 months or so. Like 25% of holdings are BAESY, PLTR, and RNMBY. RNMBY is up 219% YTD, PLTR is up 83%, and 85% YTD. I post mainly in the daily thread and have been talking about defense names for a bit there. I personally like a lot more of the mid cap ones, but there has been some wild performance in some of the biggest holding on the fund.
I’ve had RNMBY since 2023. Been excellent
Loading up on GDX and AEM. Thinking if I should buy RNMBY. Thoughts?
I just started trading this year and RNMBY was my first big buy. Picked up 5 shares and I'm up 71%... I wanted to buy an option but Robinhood didn't offer any :(
RNMBY looks like a buy. Lmk if there is any bearish case
How’s return RNMBY vs GME at any chart? I sold GME and bought RNMBY with it. 80% return in ~3months. So i recouped everything i lost with GME in 5 years and got some on top. My DRS’ed GME was down 30-60% entire time. Even more. Since the org squeeze i’ve seen green maybe once or twice. And the last time i saw… guess what happened? RC diluted! There is no play with GME any more. If i wanted BTC, i’d buy BTC. Closing unprofitable stores isn’t turnaround.
this can be a struggle as an example I bought into RNMBY back in January. I bought it and several other European defense contractors because i have conviction that the geopolitical situation was going to push Europe into increasingly large and European defense purchases. And as defense purchases tend to create quite a long partnership I felt good about the sectors prospects long term. Well it seems i guessed right, the stock which was trading at 100s has seen a 200% gain in the last 6 months. And other than kicking myself for not buying more I find myself holding a 100 year old industrial giant trading with a PE ratios more akin to tech startups. I had a long think about if it was time to sell and just take my win. However when I look at the fundamentals of the situation, I wasn't buying for short term gain, I dont see a fundamental change in the companies bushiness, I dont see a fundamental change in my initial assumptions and in fact much of what I was betting on has occurred. Im going to continue to hold because fundamentally the reason I bought the stock, and the fundamentals of the situation haven't meaningfully changed. Time will show if im right or not. I hope thats a helpful example. the best advice is go back to the reason you bought the stock in teh first place and see if your assumptions hold true. If they dont, then sell and take the win! its not a bad problem to have. If they havent then keep riding your winner.
RNMBY can either be $300 or $450 depending on what time of day I check it
I sold all my VOO in March along with most of my tech stocks that were hemorrhaging money. Currently, my largest stakes after cash are RNMBY, ATYR, and assorted gold (physical and funds) and a mining fund. I'm still holding COST and BRK-B, along with a handful of small stakes in some possible value gambles. I'm quite happy with my decision.
Before November I was 80% US/20% bonds. Now I'm 65% EXUS/10% US/25% bonds. Most of the EXUS is EU defense stocks and BYD. I paid a lot in tax but even adjusted for that I'm in much better shape. RNMBY in particular, and recently KBGGY, have been very friendly.
If you’re hunting for a stock that feels like an asymmetric crypto play—but with actual cash flow and geopolitical tailwind—look at Rheinmetall (RNMBY). Defense-industrial, German, old-world balance sheet meets new-world chaos premium. It’s a NATO proxy, an EU industrial renaissance play, and a bet on the permanence of global rearmament. And it’s still underowned by the same retail crowd that piles into Solana because it’s “fast.” Another gem: Manhattan Associates (MANH). Sounds boring. But it’s quietly becoming the central nervous system of global supply chains. While crypto fights over L1 throughput and rollups, MANH is already embedded in the enterprise layer. It’s a software position that institutional investors treat like a utility. That’s exactly when it outperforms—when nobody’s watching. Point is: Don’t mirror the herd’s myopia. Zoom out. Diversify your asymmetry. Crypto taught you to love convexity—stocks just teach you how to survive the winter.
Well, my nerves finally got the better of me, and I sold my shares at the ~150 point today, for around $32k in total profit. Certainly not world-shaking, but a tidy sum for two weeks. Part of me is still disappointed in myself for not holding out longer, but I'm 40, long-term chronically ill, and essentially retired since I can no longer work. Knowing I have to live off of my existing assets, and the profits from investing them, for the rest of my life really adds a lot of pressure when it comes to potentially risky investment decisions. Ended up finally selling my stake in Palantir as well, for an admittedly better return of ~$60k profit off of a $13k investment. I think I'm going to go back to my boring ETFs for the time being, at least until I get another great lead that overwhelms my instincts to play it safe. Wish I had had the good sense to invest in Rheinmetall (RNMBY) back when Trump first got back into the White House...
Made me a bit of money on RNMBY 😎
RNMBY makes Nvidia look like a chump stock this year. $110 to $426 already, and this isn’t something that dies when crypto mining or AI goes bust - it’s German military industrial. It only fades if Russia adopts a new peacenik regime and denuclearizes AND Trump stops shooting American military trade in the foot with idiotic attacks on trade partners….
This week the strat is the same as the last many weeks: To have thy tits juiced off by RNMBY
I work in the defence industry, and I highly recommend buying Rheinmetall. It has gone up almost %300 this year, and it will keep going up because they have a 4.2 trillion dollar work book world wide (orders). This will make it with more than Raytheon and Northrop Grumman combined, it is on the European market so I also recommend using the NYSE adr RNMBY. the stock is currently at 430 but I believe it should level out at 600.
I am up about 15% overall, about 40% counting only equities (no bonds or cash). RNMBY is my big winner by far. I've also taken profits throughout the year and bought short-term treasuries and CDs that I'll put back into stocks next year.
My 200k in RNMBY is about to juice my everlovingtits off for another week 
February this year, I saw some news about Trump having that meeting with Zelensky, and some more news about tariffs being planned. I sold most of my VOO and put half of it into Rheinmetall at 186 and the other half into EUAD. The next day that meeting happened and was even more disastrous than I could possibly have predicted. A few weeks later I sold the rest of my VOO, and transferred everything from EUAD into Rheinmetall. This was while RNMBY was between 240 and 285. And yeah now RNMBY is a little over 400, and between that and some BAESY I've got 70% of my investments in European defense. Would be 90% but my 401k doesn't let me buy individual stocks.
RNMBY is up over 100% since I determined it’s not a good idea to move any money over to European defense stocks back in February.
Yeah, RNMBY is feeling red hot after today's latest surge and there's not much headroom left based on their annual projections with half a year still left. The P/E ratio has always been my biggest con, but as more factories come online I expect that to shrink. They keep adding items to their portfolio, so it's not fairy dust that's driving the gains (though of you watch the market patterns, there are clearly dumping cycles where the big bag holders cash in). Plus big investors like Goldman Sachs are holding strong. And the war in Ukraine isn't stopping anytime soon while Europe has a huge gap to fill as America pulls its support. I bought low enough that I can sell after peak comfortably, but even if it does max out, there is a longitudinal ledger of potential income that should prevent the bottom from dropping out precipitously anytime soon.
I can only buy fidelity funds in my 401k so that’s why I own shares in it. NVO is def risky lol but I was able to scoop up some shares around $62. Could def fall to the 50s tho. I’ll look up the other two stocks that you mentioned. I didn’t mean to harp on you in particular, I just saw a few other posts recently where people were clearing pumping RNMBY and that just doesn’t make me feel great lmao.
You're right, I wouldn't buy RNMBY right now either, but some of the other are still well-priced, such as the others I mentioned. I bought some SAABY well after and I'm reaping benefits from them. And these companies keep signing more and more contracts... I'm attracted to the fundamentals they provide. Your suggestions are good as well, tho I wouldn't feel great about NVO. Even though I use Fidelity, I actually haven't messed with FSPSX and just have some shares of VXUS in the pocket. To be perfectly honest, until I can be convinced that US equities aren't just a meme market, I'm keeping some powder dry (4% money markets ain't bad) and the rest of my money in the inevitability war (the latter being the point in OP's context).
I get what you’re saying as far as international stocks goes, but RNMBY has 3x in the last 3 months so I don’t think it’s a good buy rn. I’m currently more bullish on NVO and LVMUY as their share prices are still depressed imo. I also like FSPSX.
I've made more money from Rheinmetall the past few months than I have in several years going with "VOO and chill". Maybe take a look at the global climate, the recent initiatives to build up European armed forces... this isn't 1929. There's money to be made in war. RNMBY, SAABY, FINMY... I don't love RYCEY personally but it's growing well too. If you can't pick, go with an ETF.
RNMBY German steel proves resilient to all this bullshit.
I'm talking USD values, so 240 USD back then was approximately 1200 Euros, give or take, since RNMBY is split into 5 pieces. I bought my first Rheinmetall at around 930 Euros and at this point my average purchase price is maybe 1170 Euros, so I'm definitely a bit later to the party than you are.
sell all this crap and invest in RNMBY and BYDDY. You can wait for a correction or go straight in. if your goal is to hold for 6-36 months.
RNMBY next leg up? I'm thinking of getting in
I guess I should’ve clarified. I moved out of US stocks. Mostly cash but I opened a position RNMBY.
Nothing current. Costco has long been my anchor stock but price is high now. I never in my life thought I'd buy a weapons stock but when someone tried to ridicule a certain Eastern European leader fighting a war, I invested in Rheinmetall (RNMBY). For such reasons, for defense, I am ok with such an investment. With airline and FAA woes here, I thought maybe Airbus (EADSF) might be something to look into, too.
I sold in the 550's to buy RNMBY at 186 and EUAD at 28.6, then about a month later sold my EUAD to go all-in on RNMBY. Currently up about 60% on that money, which amounts to everything I have except my 401k and emergency fund. I've started buying VOO again with my paychecks since I'm not entirely certain RNMBY will continue to go up at its current rate, and besides that's already 60% of my entire wealth in a single stock. Bought some at 506, some more at 520. My 401k I can't see exact details but I'm up 15% over the year apparently. So again I timed that one pretty well. I'm mostly dealing with all this by wondering what I should do with all the extra money I didn't expect to have.
I sold a Bitcoin for $900 and pre split TSLA for like $100 at the time, so I think like $15 a share adjusted for the splits. This time I'm on Adderall so I'm not gonna blow my RNMBY gains on the Silk Road.
Buy a share of RNMBY and enjoy the ride.
RNMBY won't even flinch about this
why am i even trading options when i could've full ported RNMBY  biggest case of FOMO ever
Absolutely nuts the rip RNMBY has been on on since that one politician bought in November fuck I wish I had long calls last year
Probably because you can’t trade options on RNMBY in the U.S. Do they report earnings this week?
Told you dummies to hop onto RNMBY last week, up 15% so far
Of course he is panicking. Truth is, he knows he has lost his grip and this bs blame game he plays isn’t working so well anymore. I’m good. My RNMBY is green again.
Bought 125k of RNMBY 6 weeks ago. Feeling quite 
Bought RNMBY in Late February. Niiiiiiiiiice
Hello. I asked ChatGPT, and here it is: Yes, Rheinmetall AG's American Depositary Receipt (ADR), trading under the ticker RNMBY in the U.S., experienced a significant drop of 13.22% in after-hours trading on Friday, April 25, 2025. The stock fell from a closing price of $315.16 to $273.49, with a minimal after-hours volume of just 17 shares . MarketWatch However, it's important to note that this movement pertains specifically to the U.S.-traded ADR and not the primary listing on Germany's Xetra exchange. On the Xetra, Rheinmetall AG (ticker: RHM.DE) closed at €1,386.50 on April 25, 2025, marking a modest gain of 0.29% for the day . There were no indications of a similar after-hours decline on the German exchange. StockInvest Given the extremely low after-hours trading volume in the U.S., the 13% drop in the ADR is likely an anomaly and not reflective of broader market sentiment or company fundamentals. Such low-volume trades can result in exaggerated price movements and should be interpreted with caution. If you observed this movement on Investing.com, it's possible they were referencing the U.S.-traded ADR. Always ensure you're viewing data for the correct listing, especially when dealing with international stocks that have multiple tickers across different exchanges.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip! I’ve seen some dips before US trading opens up before but never one this large and sudden for RNMBY so I was confused.
what the fuck happened to RNMBY???
Erm why did RNMBY drop $40 after hours? The German defense stock I had seen people talking about. I don’t see any news
I'm probably a little late to the party here but my long plays are currently VXUS, RNMBY, FINMY, SAABY, THLLY.
Rheinmetall is a German defense company best known for producing armored vehicles and large caliber tank guns, although they are fairly diversified across the defense industry. I first heard of it as the company that built the gun on the Abrams tanks back however long ago, not sure when I first learned that but it's been a while. RNMBY is the ticker to buy it in the US, but in Europe the ticker is RHM.
RNMBY BYDDY This is adr
If it was that obvious the markets would've collapsed on November 6th. It should have been obvious, and in hindsight it is, but at the time it wasn't. You had some people who called it, I was a bit late but I still made a ton off of selling all my VOO for RNMBY, but at the time that was considered a very risky move. Just like right now, do you think the market is going to go up or down over the next couple months? In 3 months either it'll be obvious that Trump was going to walk back tariffs again, or it'll be obvious that he was going to double down, but right now it isn't. I'm still just holding RNMBY and not buying anything new because I don't have any idea what to expect from this point, tbh. Inverse TSLA seems too risky, VOO seems too risky, at current prices RNMBY is a bit too risky, even Gold has gone up so much lately that idk about it.
RNMBY and GLD are the only things in my portfolio consistently gaining in value.
By the end of the decade? That's kinda nothing. But it's been crazy how hard RNMBY has pumped the last few days, nevermind months.
That's what I did. Slightly diversifying with BNDX but also buying BND right now since I can get more. If rates get cut the cost of these will go up. Figure I'm saving about $10 per share right now as I keep DCA-ing in. That and IXUS to better diversify. Has worked well here in the short term. Also invested in RNMBY about a year ago as the war in Ukraine continued. Never thought Trump would put so much pressure on Ukraine but he riled up the European defense sectors so I guess it worked out. Probably should've invested in some European Defense ETF in hindsight but oh well.
RNMBY is what’s listed in U.S. Markets, get in now before it goes to $700 as institutional investors find safe havens from the United States
Is it too late to get in on $RNMBY? Up 221% in the last 6 months. Not sure how much more capacity the EU has to spend on defense at this point.
RNMBY Rheinmetall rocket 🚀

I think it is a bit late to shift in a major way because the markets have already moved but my holdings are mostly in a general world ex-US fund like VXUS, some in specific European ETFs like VGK, and a few concentrations in specific European defense companies like Rheinmetall (RNMBY) and BAE Systems (BAESY). I also have significant parts of my portfolio in IAUM and NEM for gold exposure since last year.
Germany and EU are spending money on rearmament. A lot it would seem. I bet on EUAD which has RNMBY as one of its largest components.
I bought RNMBY around 238... my only regret is not buying more. I think given the current/foreseeable political climate it will continue to rise.
RNMBY  Have fun, Vlad – German war machine is gearing up 
I also have 38% of my portfolio in RNMBY.
Trump's billionaire supporters have so far suffered big paper losses. The few who had attended his inauguration had lost by 4/5/25: Elon Musk - $130B Jeff Bezos - $45.2B Mark Zuckerberg - $28.1B Sergei Brin - $32.3B ------- Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, and Bill Ackman weren't there, but are known to have suffered significant losses. Ackman especially freaked out on the night of April 6 and threw a major tantrum, fiercely attacking Howard Lutnick There was indeed a major crash going on that night. When I went to bed, Rheinmetall stock was down like 30% in Germany But something happened between then and next day's open. There was this so not fake news about delaying tariffs by 30 days. The market rallied sharply and I found my $RNMBY to be up 7%! -------- The only billionaire who's up this year is the long time Democrat Warren Buffett
You want to buy ADRs. An ADR is where a bank buys foreign stocks for you in the foreign currency, and you buy ownership of those stocks from the bank in USD. So while you will see a stock price in USD, and receive dividends in USD, the value is based on a foreign currency and a foreign stock. Ie, say that you want to buy Rheinmetall. But you can't buy RHM, because you're in America. Fortunately for you, you can just buy RNMBY instead, which is equivalent to 1/5th of a share of RHM. Taxes are more complicated on the dividends you receive, if you do nothing and treat it like normal dividends you'll pay extra taxes, but that's not too hard to sort out
