shout out all my SHLD holders
SHLD is up over 100% since Trump was reelected. It may keep doing well but talk about priced in
Same. SHLD and NATO for Europe exposure.
I just put some cash into SHLD. It’s a global defense ETF.
You know shit is wild when the military industrial complex stocks like SHLD are down. Fucking silly. That shit will be 4X within 5 years.
It's just like SHLD but with 25% the volume and a higher expense ratio. Whats not to love?
sold off SHLD days before this all happened. I am moving more towards large momentum funds and indexes. Europe is serious about re armament. this is true
I’ve been DCA’ing the past year in SHLD, NATO, JEDI, and PPA.
ITA SHLD DFEN LMT spiking biiiiiggg
AVAV tanks on BADGER/SCAR stop-work order - Space Force halts phased-array deliveries, nuking priced-in 2026 rev chunk (\~10-15% est). Raymond James "underperform" piles on valuation reset (60x fwd P/E pre-drop), defense peers like SHLD hold via diversified ETF flows. No quick rebound absent contract lift - cut now at BB low/moving avg death cross, trail stops under $260 pivot. SHLD steady wins; AVAV "newer bet" lesson: Size gov't risk pre-news.
Yah I agree. Had it last year and it just sat. Shouldnt compare this one to SHLD. Thankfully the rest of my portfolio is up but AVAV is losing bad and fast.
Sir. I sold too early. SHLD ETF.
Maybe one of the ETFs, SHLD or MISL.
SHLD gonna pop higher. RNMBY gonna win so many new contracts for air defense and ammo
I started pumping SHLD when I heard steak and lobster was on the menu
Quick scan of ETFs for the defense companies below. EUAD has all of these. I personally hold EUAD, SHLD, IGF, EMIF for global exposure to defense and infrastructure. * **Rheinmetall** – in EUAD & WDEF * **BAE Systems** – in EUAD & WDEF * **Thales** – in EUAD & WDEF * **Saab** – in EUAD & WDEF * **Rolls-Royce** – in EUAD The others mentioned in this thread here are probably in a European industrials basket. Going to look into that.
Maybe some bitcoin but that's fairly risky. 4 year cycle says the next cycle top shouöd be september 2029. That also makes me believe there won't be a recession that year. Hard to say though if the ai bubble doesn't pop in the next year or two. Gold (and maybe gold miners) is good too, 10k/oz may actually happen. SMH and QQQ if you believe in tech. (With leverage there are SOXL and TQQQ but any crashes in the meantime could hurt them a lot). VT as a boring global stock but it's unlikely to do crazy numbers. There are are UFO, JEDI and SHLD for the space and war plays. URNM for uranium. Really hard to say...
Time to all in on SHLD and USO
Yep! SHLD and XAR will go up!
I just invested in to VTI at 12 today, then actually at 3 went in to VXUS, I’ll look into SMH and SHLD but I was definitely way to tech focused, I spread my stuff so I am not just in tech and stuff thank you for the recommendations
I was totally Kidding Brother. You seem spread Very thin. I would start off Investing in ETFs. Most Hold a variety of Stocks in any given sector. Do your own research of course, but these are some that I am currently holding and what they consist of. VTI - total US market, VXUS - International Markets, SMH - Semiconductors, SHLD - Defense Tech, GLTR - Precious Metals Good Luck 🍀👍
FMTM, SHLD, VTV(less risky balance sheets w VTV) gotta moderate my risk
SHLD. VTV. i want arms and cyber security exposure while also having value focused companies w strong balance sheets
for me if i was gonna invest in defense i would buy SHLD
I'm in deep with XAR & SHLD...
Anytime a certain head of state tries to distract from his plunging popularity and criminal past deeds and starts military conflicts both near and afar, I do the logical thing and invest in Defense ETFs...specifically XAR and SHLD. Hold it until he TACOs or the targeted country surrenders in capitulation. I made $$$ during the Venezuelan debacle.
Just buy SHLD ETF, its treated me very well
MAGS, SHLD, UPRO, CHAT FOR the next 25 years
War is coming. ITA, SHLD
Second thought: Why not just go VOO-VXUS 80/20 and live with peace mind, own most if not all of those companies? Lost of cool names in there though, I am 95% what I described above, but I tend to hold 2-3 extra that I have high conviction in. For me, those are AMZN, MSFT and SHLD (another etf, but defense focused) I was just clowning before haha
🥭 has been too quite all day I loaded up SHLD and GLD shares to hedge
same but with SHLD like a month ago. i think donny's looking for any excuse not to but may happen still.
The real Mag 7 should and will be Google Amazon Apple Costco JPM GLD SHLD I know the second 3 arent companies but still you get it
I loaded up shares of SHLD and REMX to balance out my retard port just for a lil safety
Get in on SHLD and ITA before WW3 with Iran kicks off
Pisses me off EUAD and SHLD are flatlining. Those are the literal fucking war machine, how can they not be constantly mooning?
I've increased my positions in VXUS, FNDE, EMXC, SHLD. Those total around 40%. I'm not trying to squeeze every bit of returns. More for diversification and peace of mind.
Too risky no. Life is all about risk at every level. What will bring the best returns? VOO was about 16-17% return last year, inflation was like 10%. VT was better because of international which seems to be the wave moving forward. Im personally very heavy in shny/agq leveraged gold and silver + Soxx + some other sector plays like URA and SHLD. I also have a small bit of VOO and IDMO + AVDV. USD value has gone down so much I don't really think you can just VOO and chill anymore as much as I would love to.
Could just buy VXUS (Vanguard's Total International ETF) If you wanna invest in defense & aerospace, then you can look into the following ETFs: EUAD (Europe), SHLD (US and non-US), IDEF (US and non-US), XAR (US)
I already own, XRA, EUAD, SHLD.
$SHLD will pump once F35s starts bombing US residential structures.
There are ETFs that cover this sector: SHLD NATO PPA JEDI Look them up and their portfolio composition.
That’s my whole port rn. SHLD was kinda trading with SPY this last week tho :/
I don't think there's much risk of civil unrest in the US. Americans have about as much chance of starting a popular revolt as golden retrievers. You remember Occupy? Standing around in parks and occasionally having peaceful marches because they've actually convinced people you win fights by not throwing punches is pretty much peak revolt here. Still bullish for drones and the police state, though. Does $SHLD give you exposure to pepper spray, beanbag rounds, and body armor?
Are you saying I should get out of DRNZ and SHLD?
Take a look at SHLD ETF for World defense stocks doing very well I own it
SHLD going up cause we’re nuking Iran this weekend. Buy it now
I want to invest in global defense sector, found SHLD ETF but it holds 7% Palantir
Thanks for the thought-out input! SHLD is not just US companies but that is a big part. I’m hoping that a) Europe unblocks and ratifies their trade agreement, b) NATO commits to more defense spending as part of some Greenland deal, and c) a strike on Iran occurs, before call expires. I was definitely more bullish a week ago and agree that alienating our allies is corrosive in the long term and maybe the short term too.
Hey I’m about to go to bed and I need someone to reassure me ab my Feb 20 SHLD 80 calls
I thought about both and then decided on the lower volatility ETF, ITA. If you are looking for a single company stock, I'd do what somebody else suggested and find one that has not gone up 10x in the last couple of months. Assuming we do not invade Greenland or some other country, defense stocks may go sideways for a while. There is also Global X Defense Tech ETF, SHLD. I know this is not an ETF sub, I'm just telling you what I did.
I’d still probably stick with ETFs in whatever sectors you and they are interested in. I’ve had VGT for tech in the past, but its performance this past year really slowed down. Currently I own SMH (semiconductor ETF), SHLD (global defense ETF), and SPMO (a momentum stock that rebalances every 6 months to invest in companies that have had a positive trajectory the prior six months. This latest rebalance has not been good however). The vast majority of my portfolio is in boring broad US and international ETFs though. I would avoid picking individual stocks for someone else’s portfolio.
I shifted a decent portion of VOO to VXUS, FNDE, EMXC, and SHLD. Around 65% still in large cap US domestic including VOO, while the rest are mainly in vxus followed by the emerging markets fnde and Emxc, and some in SHLD for global defense stocks. This just helps me sleep better at night. Hopefully ride the growth of VOO but still protection from what could happen - dollar decline, defense spending picks up, and the rest of the world potentially growing without us.
BUG trading volume is double the norm with little to no price change. Looks like Cyber security is a nice side piece to SHLD holdings.
I’m split in port 50/50 shares of MU and SHLD ETF. I say yes but I’m also someone who is on wsb so, ya’know.
What bothers me the most about today is EUAD and SHLD slightly down. WTF is wrong with people? They are literal fucking Lord of War shit, the actual military industrial complex and people not buying that shit hand over fist.. NOW? In these times? Fuck that. I'm buying more today.
MU and SHLD gonna be green by open?
I bought SHLD last week
Fuck yeah SHLD EUAD and ITA fucking pumping.
SHLD and MISL are gonna pump this week
SHLD MISL calls
URA and SHLD will go up too.
Fucking fuck yeah. Jacked to tits in EUAD ITA and SHLD. The generals gathered in their masses..... Let there be war!
Nope, I’m still sticking with my MU and SHLD, I’m not selling and switching
I guess I belong here, because I read this and thought to myself. Yeah, and I have puts on SPY and QQQ. So I log into my account, and for literally the only time in the last 6 months I do not have any puts. The long puts I had expired worthless, and I meant to replace them, but I must have taken the day off, or put in limit orders that did not fill, but no puts.. That said, BAESY 40 shares, RNMBY 50 shares, SHLD 70 call March 20, SAABY 350 shares, WDAF 350 shares, RYCEY 150 shares, THLLY 40 shares, So Tuesday will be alright for me. But darnit, like $7,000 of puts on SPY and QQQ expired worthless on Friday and I did not replace them.
Don't care much if spy doesn't shit, though I do have a few puts on SPY and iwm. But need metals, miners, and ideally EUAD and SHLD to pump.
Just buy the whole gang SHLD.
Either way SHLD will do better than WAR or NATO.
I’m 140k worth of MU and 100k worth of SHLD. I’m done trying to trade and pivot and shift with everything every week, I’m chillin this year.
I’m enjoying SHLD… Russia, Trump, and AI are just pushing military companies to push harder for new tech and Trump is pushing the Canada, the EU and other allies to invest in anything other than relying on the US military.
Defense stocks and GLD. SHLD ETF up 100% in the past year. International stocks have been doing great since he came into office regardless of tarrifs.
They have run for the last 2-3 years as I have been long since Ukraine. There are 3 ETFs: ITA and PPA are mainly domestic plays and SHLD which has Palantir as a large holding and European defense contractors. RTX and KTOS have had great runs. But, I have not sold any shares. I also own KRKNS and VOYG which are plays on the next gen of defense. The other one own that I still think is a reasonable price is HII. While it has also had a run, they have been given many new contracts so the run is justified. They focus on the US navy. One other that is still cheap and a turnaround is Boeing. But they are only 50% defense. Good luck!
Im doing well with SHLD , ITA and XAR
Buying 400 shares of MU and 1200 shares of SHLD, what could possibly go wrong?
When tf is my war I was promised SHLD calls been good but come on man
SHLD is globally diversified defense and I like it a lot, but if you want strictly Europe I like EUAD
Can't believe these dumb fuckers been letting me load up on EUAD and SHLD the last several days at these prices. That shit should be up 2% a day minimum. Literal war machine.
$RTX $AMPX $SHLD gonna load up on calls tomorrow
Which defense stocks are you looking at? I got SHLD calls today.
I'm stacked to the titties in SHLD and EUAD. It's my main holding other than cash and some random little shit.
I think imma start buying ETF for my retirement accounts. I'm less likely to panic sell UFO SHLD
SHLD nice lil shrek Im sure its nothing tho
I'm taint deep in SHLD and EUAD.
I think it's a somewhat better bet in Europe where they have to really spend significant money on that now but things like EUAD etf up 95% (vs the US-centric ITA up 59%; there's also the global SHLD up 99% in the last year, probably in decent part because of the weighting to PLTR) in the last year
