[CountryGent]

The title of the thread, more or less, says it all. Do you hold stock in one or more American firearms manufacturers? Which and why?

Thanks!

I had some Ruger stock for a long time, never did anything so I sold it and invested elsewhere.

I owned shares in Smith and Wesson, Vista outdoors, Ruger and Olin Corp. Bought before the panic of '20, sold during. Could have made way more money, but I did ok I think. Saw that coming a mile away

I do my best in keeping several firearms companies busy. My role is that of a regular consumer.

Colt's Manufacturing and Engines, been a long time shareholder, many ups and down's but long term, it's been YUGELY profitable, basically every time the U.S Mil. orders a Ship, I get paid dividends which I usually flip into more shares, and there have been lots of ships on order of late!

Obama only lets a few shares go annually for the rest of us to buy.

Saw what was going to happen as Covid and riots started. Got in. About doubled money. Got out. Didn't bet the farm though.

What's the symbol on that? Is that an ADR now and do you have to pay foreign taxes?

Had ruger and s&w. Still have Vista outdoor and american out door brand. Bought all at the start of the pandemic and they made me some good money.

Our "Guy" bought us Sturm Ruger. Don't recall when. Year and a half ago maybe? I was happy to see it. Don't know what's with it currently, or if we have it anymore. I've been afraid to look at what has happened to our retirement thanks to the dimocraps. Thanks for nothing, dirt bags.

I used to have money in crypto. Then I got out when they were gonna tax that too.

Now I have money in other stuff and I don't really pay mind to it.

Doing under 5 minutes of digging into a fund I discovered that indeed I do own part of a manufacturer. S&W to be precise. A fund I have has another company as a holding, and that other company holds S&W as an investment. Stopped when I found that, so there may be more!

In this day and age if you have money in any fund at all you often don't really know what you're holding. So we're all probably part owner of more gun companies than we know!

RE : Post#19

Well.......yup.

I don't LIKE TO count my Mutual Fund holdings. Because I have no control over that. And, the fund managers could buy and sell at almost any time......for The Lord only knows.....whatever reason(s).
