I have a project in an Econ class coming up and need some help.


First off what are if any gun companies to invest in?
Second what would be a money maker stock that isnt a gun company?


This is just a project and would like some outside opinons. No one will be loosing or gaining any money here.

Plus this would give me an idea on what to look fo in the future.



Thanks guys, This will be much appreciated.

Carter.

The only one i can think of that's publicly traded and not diluted with a big holding company is Sturm Ruger & Co.

NYSE symbol - RGR

Ruger as mentioned and Smith and Wesson

everything else is private
Smith has done very well in the past year (close to a 2x)

If i knew what would make mony in the next 6 months, would I tell you?  would I be on this board?  

Seriously, dunno, honestly not much looks good, energy/materials have run out of steam, oil is topped out, the market looks very peaky, real estate is done, it's time to be defensive.

I did some Ruger trading around ten years ago and dumped it.

Made good money on ATK a while back...(Alliant, formerly Hercules powder company, I got into it  at first in stock swap, IIRC). They run a bunch of  arsenals for the gooberment (including Lake City). Own Speer, CCI, and do a bunch of advanced weapons stuff.

I just keep it because I'm a gun nut.

ETA, I had some Olin (Winchester) way back too, when they were still into firearms and ammo. Glad I dumped it when I did.
