To help keep Ruger Ruger, I bought 100 shares of RGR. Recommend we all do the same.

Good intentions buttttttttt
What is "stock"?
You’re joking, right?
I’ve been watching westerns all day on tv, thought stock was cattle.
I have some Tesla stock also, bought it at $250. Should have bought more.
I boiled up a bunch of bones today to make some "stock"
I have followed RGR out of curiosity but never considered investing and if I did it would just be the novelty of it being a Ruger fan.....I just sold most of my stock shares and will dump the rest next year. Being over 60 they were all vested. I will be handed more shares from my employer in March, fully vested but will not hang on to them. The forecast is not bad but not great. I modeled different scenarios but playing the stock game is basically gambling in my opinion and mentally draining.
“After his horse broke its leg, the cowboy looked around and took stock of his dire situation.”
RGR is actually a modest buy, expecting to rise 11% in the next 12 months.
But I think any firearms stock is just novelty as @XUSNORDIE says.
Last year we did all right with NOC (Northrop Grumman Corp). If a person were looking into weapons companies that is.

I don't put much stock in stocks...never did.
My 401K at Halliburton was all in gov't backed bonds and other low risk/low return options. Right after the infamous 2008-crash when everyone around me was watching their retirement disappear, I used the "59-1/2" option to pull mine out to buy gold, silver, and pay my house off early.....best money decision I ever made....And besides that, as much as I like my three Ruger guns, it ain't my job to save the company...I mean really, we're talking about a gazillion-dollar corporation here. If they can't make it with the assets they've got, what good is my little bit of money going to do them?

RTX has been a solid stock for me. I was awarded the shares as part of my compensation package prior to retirement. Defense is lucrative.

Decades ago,, Miss Penny bought me (5) shares AND got the actual stock certificate. It was a "novelty," and I love the certificate. I added more stock occasionally and enjoy the quarterly dividends.
I never based my retirement upon investing in stocks of any company,, because, as many know,, it can be quite volatile, going up or down.

After discussing RGR stock several times with Contender, when my mother passed away, I came into some money that I knew the banks wouldn't pay much interest on (.07%) not needing the money immediately, I told my financial advisor to buy a chunk of stock. Every quarter I get a report on the interest earned by my "portfolio", RGR out shines all and is a major contributor. Yes, I am disappointed how far below $50 a share has dropped, but it has shown regular gains since the first of the year.

Sam, at one point it was close to 100.00 a share and I was over 1200 percent . Honestly I'm not really sure about this new CEO. And it's not all about the stock.
Personally I don’t buy individual stocks. I did pretty well in real estate and at some point will buy more, but I think paying cash is the name of that game.
This spring I’ll dump some cash into low cost S&P 500 index funds. It has averaged between 10 & 12 percent over the last 30 years. The last 3 more. I don’t recommend stocks if retirement is knocking on the door, or if you can’t afford for it to drop. That’s the nature of stocks. If you’re flexible on when you can retire, or put it off, it can be a winner. It’s never gone down and not come back and gone up higher historically.
Frankly I do expect Beretta to take a run at Ruger. It will be interesting.

Was he rounding up his stock at the time?
Well Pard you got a lot to learn about stock. There is LIVE stock along with Woodstock of a time long ago, Gun Stocks and the Wall Street Stock that I buy high and sell low.
11% in a year eh?.....Well, I'd be careful playing with paper assets because the "dollar" that they pay you with may well loose that much value by then....Meaning that if you look from it's beginning in1913 to today, a one-dollar FRN is down to about 3-cents right now....Myself, I'd rather buy canned pork 'n beans. At least they always go up, not down. Plus, if things get worse, you can always eat 'em....tick-tock, tick-tock.

I'll gladly pass.
Inherited a large amount of EXXON stock some years ago. The dividends have bought numerous guns for me.
My Uncle Bought RGR IN 1966. He Bought 10k shares. They have done Very Well. And they are Mine now.
I added the few thousand I had accumulated. I named a Dog Ruger
