If you were going to invest all your $ in one gun company

[TennJed]

A question just for fun.

PUt all fanboy and dislikes aside for a moment.

If you were going to invest all your retirement $ into ONE gun company who would it be?

What company do you think is set up best for the most long term growth and/or profits?

It may not be the company you think makes the best or your favorite firearm....just which one is in the best position from a purely business standpoint.

*****disclaimer I realize it would be a poor idea to invest all your money into 1 company. I also realize some companies are publicly traded and some are not....lets not get too technical.....remember this is just for fun

for me it is Ruger. They have built a loyal following and their new products seem to be some of the most talked about product when they are released.

Offer a wide and deversified line of products. Good Reputation for products and Customer Service and seem to do a real good job with research and development.

Say what you will about them....I do think they have "taken" a few idea from other companies ...such as kel tec....but it seems to be a solid strategy

Ruger.

No brand loyalty involved. I simply believe that they have been "fishing" in the market more than other companies, and listening to their customers more than other companies. ...And then they bring things to the market, that their customers have asked for, or Ruger believes customers will want.

Some of their newer products are questionable, and may fail. But some of their newer products are doing quite well. At least they're trying, and making money doing it.

All my money?!

Right now, AFAIK, the only Ruger & S&W are publicly-traded gun companies. If I had to invest all my money into one of them, it'd be Ruger for the stability. ZERO debt, good profit margin and book value, rising revenues, good brand, good product, positive cash flow, and they pay a dividend to boot.

Since you said gun, I will respond with Beretta - Government Contractor.

If you had said weapon system, I would respond with General Atomics since they make Drones.

I think FN is a major conglomerate, and might be the right answer; although I would never put all my investments in one basket. At least mix in some utility stocks.
