DieHardBrownsFan Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's amazing how a man can make Lockheed Martin shares drop 4% with a tweet I worked for Lockheed Martin for a few years at the building by the old Akron Air Dock. Huge frigging place, but they have closed down all but the air dock for special projects. That place was really strange at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's amazing how a man can make Lockheed Martin shares drop 4% with a tweet How is it amazing to you that a president elect talks about canning a major defense project and that companies stocks go down? Do you understand how stocks work? If trump was still just a house ngr tweeting from his penthouse do you think lockheeds stocks would tank? Ofc not. Any president hints at canning a project like that is going to have a profound impact on people who own that companies stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks for the explanation, that really cleared things up for me. Glad i could help although im still awfully curious if u understand the stock market and how news like, oh i dunno the potential cancellation of any project let alone a govt contract, affects stock holder confidence. If u had lockheed stock and any govt official with the power to cut the project starts talking srsly about doing just that.....u gonna hang on to those stocks? Ofc ur not unless ur a "major" stockholder in lockheed who's in for the long haul. If trump really is serious andnot just trying to fuck with lock heed, which is hilarious in any case, u can expect the stock to plummet further. No different than had any president spoken of that. It just sounded like you were awestruck by something fairly rudimentary s all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dste Ace Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 This has the potential to bring the very real problem of unnecessary defense spending to a head. http://time.com/4261276/military-budget/ The question is, can/will Donald be able to face down members of congress who are hellbent on funding projects that are not needed but provide jobs/revenue for their home districts?

Dste Ace Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 And the article in Time only addresses closure of unnecessary bases---it doesn't touch on the Pentagon telling/begging congress to stop making them buy shit they don't need.
