AeroVironment Inc. advanced 6.9%. The Simi Valley company makes small, short-range reconnaissance drones that U.S. soldiers use. The increase in troop deployment to the Middle East could mean more business for AeroVironment, said Ken Herbert, managing director with investment banking and financial services firm Canaccord Genuity.

Check Esper’s bank account.
It’s a good time for weapons manufacturers
One can always count on Wallstreet.
It's insider trading again
And every other stock ?
johnsweeneyroar There's a thing
So the lesson is that if Eric Trump or a member of Mar-a-Lago tweets something aggressively patriotic, with no context, buy defense stocks.
Heh.
ACTING Secretary of Defense, Mike Esper was the chief lobbiest for Raytheon. Coincidence?
Go figure

You guys gonna look into any Mar-e-Lago members making moves in defense stocks?
tedlieu probably another thing for you to investigate.

GayleellisLydia Trump will need more money for the military, he's already cut funding for SNAP (food for hungry families) he's talking of cutting Soc.Sec. that came out of our pay, cutting our health care. What's left? Just military spending and endless war. Trump's killing us at home & abroad!
Gross.

Of, course. War is a racket.
