  • They made a lot of vacuum tubes so people like me can spend our money and time hunting them down 60 years later.

    Anyone got some 7 pin 6F6-G's laying around??  Anyone?   Don't pretend you have no idea what I'm talking about, cough 'em up.

    Last one I saw was when I replaced one in a SPS-10 search RADAR on the USS LaSalle.

    Sure hope so.  One of my retirement investments is in defense stocks.

    You should benefit nicely from the current hawk in office, then.

    Maybe.  I've had it for a while now and it doesn't move much either way.  I bought it when Bush invaded Iraq thinking companies that produced war materiel would be solid.  I was somewhat disappointed although when it goes down, it isn't by much.

    Well Trump wants military upgrades and Raytheon has already been contracted for some by the Air Force.  They acquired a drone company in 2015 and sell to the military.  Many of their drones are not designed to return, so sales go up as they are used and replaced.  And if he continues air strikes at his present rate, which is five times that of Obama (whose were ten times that of Bush), you should see a tidy ROI.

    The Raytheon stock is part of a defense package of mutual fund stocks, so I'm not sure it will jump too much either way.  At least I'm not losing any money. :)

    Raytheon isn't the only defense contractor thus affected, nor the largest, and a lot of the spending isn't dependent upon use so much as preparation, so you should see an increase regardless.
