LMT trade ideas
LMT not following the restThe thing about Lockhead Martin is that most of their profit comes from government defense contracts = US kicking someone's ass. So the stock does not follow so much the rest of the market.
*If you don't care about fundamentals skip the next part*
Namely, while most stocks have encountered a technical resistance of the various high levels of this bear market and began a sell off this week. LMT did not care. The stock pushed higher and drew a red candle only on Friday, when the rest of the markets (twitter especially) were filling up their pants. The reason for that is the fact that the stock price did not recover in 2009. The reason was that the US government while saving money did not give LMT business. (Not going to produce rockets and aircraft while the people still remember the recession).
Instead the company got their business back in late 2012. So their ascending pattern was drawn then, and it was holding long.... very long... until recently it broke the patterns resistance, which began to provide support. (bold yellow lines).
In my opinion the LMT held and gained because Trump kept pushing the US Congress into keeping defense spending unchanged = not taking business away from LMT. So if they approve no changes or an increase to the military LMT will still produce profits in the upcoming years. + they beat their earnings last week.
*continue here*
The stock price is trading in a medium ascending pattern (purple lines). The upper trend line of the pattern has not been yet touched, but, if one uses it to draw Fibonacci retracement levels, then they confirm a point on the medium term patterns trend line as a high point.
However, there exist junior patterns to the mentioned channel. To be exact, there are two of them (black lines).
In general, to keep it short! Price hit resistance of dominant up channel, formed a junior downard pattern, which is set to meet the dominant one's support. Afterwards, it remains to be seen, whether the support gets passed or forces a new rebound, which reaches the upper trend line of the previously mentioned long term ascending pattern.
P.S. There is loads of stuff in regards to LMT that is very particular just to it, but I like this stock as my "Lord of War" or "Murder Money." So feel free to ask questions and comment.
Yours sincerely,
Y
New contracts on the horizon? The profit in this idea is hedged!Lockheed Martin is one of the largest companies in the aerospace, defense, security, and technologies industry. Produces aircrafts, such as F-35 and F-22. The main customer is the US government, which provided about 82% of the revenue.

In December 2017, the world's largest supplier of military technology received a $944 million contract for production and delivery of Lockheed Martin Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) interceptors.
Additionally, in the same month Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co, a unit of Lockheed Martin Co, received a $ 7 billion defense order for F-22, the Pentagon said in a statement on Thursday.
The growth may accelerate due to the increased sales on the international market, where Lockheed offers the most demanded defense products.

LONG POSITION - 2 Possible entries - Lockheed Martin (LMT)Sector: Industrial Goods
Industry: Aerospace/Defence Products & Services
BASIC INFO:
Lockheed Martin Corporation is a security and aerospace company in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of technology systems, products and services worldwide.
It operates through four segments:
Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space Systems.
Earnings over the last 4 quarters have been better than estimated as well as a few big contracts awarded to the company finance.yahoo.com . Price/Earnings for LMT are still above the industry average by at least 50%. Earnings Forecasts also look promising with a rising earning per share forecast over the next 4 years. Return on Equity gets a passing score as it has also been increasing for at least two consecutive years.
Here are 2 possible entry points to get in on the Lockheed Martin(LMT) up trend:
Price has been trading high above the 50 day moving average for the last month but still within the trend range. However this might indicate a posable correction back to the moving average and we might also have resistance around the 300 mark so we need to be careful of that.
Option 1 - The price pushes straight through 300, has a small resistance wobble and carries on with its up trend (MA50 might stop this happening).
Time to get in would be after we’re sure resistance has been broken i.e. 302.
Option 2 - Price rebounds off top trend line or the 300 mark forcing price to retrace closer the the MA50 and to the bottom trend line (Red Dotted Line) before attempting to break the 300 while moving with its average.
Time to get in would be after we have rebounded off the bottom trend line (Red Dotted Line) and have seen a day or two of positive price action.
For this stock my preference would be to aim for a stop just below the bottom trend line (Red Dotted Line) as this could be an indicator the trend is over. However as the trend continues I would add to the position every time the price bounces off the bottom trend line (Green Arrows).
ARBITRAGE SELL BOEING BUY UNITED TECHNOLOGIESBoth of them have similar market cap and PE ratio
Boing was more fashionable. Hard figures shows that in 6-9 months the gap should be narrower...
Strong trendLooking to add to position. Strong uptrend should continue in current geopolitical environment.
LMT - Stacking Time to BuyI am stacking LMT with another confirmed reversal, it's back about the 9 day MA, the 50 day, 100 day and 200 day all have a nice slope still. The RSI is above the 50 level and heading up. Stochastic shows upward movement, and the MACD is making a positive cross up (almost)
Stop Loss at 270 - Take Profit (don't know I'm holding for a while)
Drums of War ?Good morning traders,
Sad start of the week, with another terrorist attack in London. Stand together.
This is added to the conflict in Middle East , Qatar breached diplomatic relations with its counterparties in the gulf region, presumably due to support of terrorism.
Reviewing military-related stocks, they are very bullish. Is this drums of war symptom ? Or just trending like rest of the market ?
In any case, have a great trading week , in peace.
