One more ticker off my pre-retirement list.  Trying to stop picking the flowers and watering the weeds.

Sorry to hear you just sold at the bottom on LMT.. Buyback just went into affect and it's now back to $335

You said the same about APD and that stock has rallied 50 points 

Maybe your the next Cramer hahaha!!

I've been trimming LMT it for about six weeks or I would be way down.  OK you made me look.  I sold my APD on AUG 12th for exactly $291 at profit.  As APD at $241 now?  Don't make me scroll back and repost your bad picks. 

What else don't I like?  SAAS stocks with infinity PEs, mean people, and getting a flat tire when it's raining.    

Added a little WEC today.  My favorite UTE, but I sold a lot of shares much higher and its not my largest holding so I will fix that.   Trying to get my UTEs back to a 70% position and wait for a dip if it happens.

I will join you at some poin0t when the sector isn't in freefall.  I don't think the market is done hating defense stocks because there is no catalyst to save them for now.  Need a reason to believe revenues aren't falling next year.  Market doesn't care about 2024.

Neither do I. These companies are fundamental to national defense and there are rare to none in the world who can compete with these defense behemoths. They are undervalued. Pays dividend. Balance sheets are solid. Don't care about what happens in next 2-3 year.
