Anyone buying gun company stocks in preparation for the Nov. 9 sale?

[IronLionZion]

After 8 annual "Obama's coming to get your guns" sales, people will have to get even more guns for the first " Hillary's coming to get your guns" sale.

1. Only a couple of the big ones are publicly traded.

But to answer your question....no, not me.

Sturm Ruger

Smith and Wesson

The majority of firearms makers are privately held

2. Interesting. Smith and Wesson actually didn't go up that much after 2008

It didn't really start climbing until Oct'11. It was $2.95 then. Now it's $25.31. Sturm Ruger did start its climb in late'08 though, but it's also high right now.

6. That's a helluva return

Arguably not the most ethical investment, but one that would have done well for an individual's investment account.

7. Oh yeah. But I don't see it happening again

At least some of the people who bought lots of guns figured out that in 8 years, despite their fears, Obama hadn't taken them away. I think the people who want to be armed to the teeth already are.

So the question is, what industry might see growth when Clinton is elected? I'm thinking solar energy.

8. Trust me

I have no intention of buying Smith & Wesson stock, or barrels, or triggers...



As for stocks that might thrive with Hillary as POTUS, I've read that Hospital Corporation of America should do well if she follows through on her promise to expand on Obamacare.

10. If she gets at least one house of congress, we'll have a strong economy

since we need a Dem congress to actually pass her policies.

In that case, industries that will do well are consumer staples and discretionary, health care, solar and green energy.


Health care has been down for the last year and have already priced in a Hillary win. I hope she reigns in big pharma's prescription prices, but other sectors of the health industry will do well as more people gain access to care. This means hospital systems, health supplies, urgent care centers, etc.

9. I'm afraid to look and find out if my group pension already owns stock.

They probably do. Since it's a group benefit, I can't do anything about it.

I could be making $$ off of all kinds of nefarious industries and not even know it.

11. Nope

I will not knowingly profit off of blood money.

12. Too late, it's already factored in.

Wall Street already knows the result of Nov 8 and it's adjusted gun company stocks, pharmaceuticals, etc.

The bookies have spoken.
