I have held BA. for many years. with the state of the world, China, Taliban, etc, I cannot afford not to hold them for the future. Like it or not, military hardware is in high demand, not to mention the number of military companies currently the subject of takeovers. Private equity certainly thinks the sector is worthy of investment.

Sorry, not an ethical view. Just realistic

Well said. My sentiments exactly.

Ian.

Remember that the UK Government holds a golden share in BAE (and RR) which would prevent foreign ownership.

Well reminded, thank you. Imho, BA. are a sound HYP share, although not everone’s cup of tea, I get that.

Booze, Baccy and Bombs was an investing mantra I stumbled across a decade back.

I don’t drink alcohol, nor smoke, nor drink tea either but still invest in all three areas you’ve mentioned above, and have done so since being a HYP newbie.

Should I gather from the omission that you do use bombs? ;-)

If he does don't worry too much as Ian enjoys a low population density way up there. Chris

You’re not wrong Chris. Only 205 people live on our 13 mile circumference island where we’ve lived for nearly four years now. Joking aside, maybe we should get back on topic?

Sorry, yes - couldn't resist that last one, but I'll get my coat...

No harm done Gengulphus. Your input is always welcome.

All the best,
