The work is expected to be completed by April 2020, the Department of Defense said in its daily digest of major contract awards.

That's $969 million that we don't have.

Buy Lockheed stock if you can.  I always recommend it.

They were awarded a $262.8 million contract to provide infrared sniper-targeting systems to Saudi Arabia a few hours ago.

The stock-price will open at about 215-bucks per share tomorrow, probably spending most of the day near 220-bucks, before closing at around 216.  Spend a 1000-bucks, you'll earn 5-ish per day for awhile. 

That's how you gotta look at it.  You, the investor are capitalizing on their contracts, IE: getting your tax-money back... plus the 1000, when you sell those five shares at a future-price that you decide on.

And yet, it was the only thing our govt was charged with, the security of the nation.
Pick your battles wisely.

See... ?  The stock's closing-price today is $220.67.  You got your grand back, plus 5-bucks in the 5-days since my above post.   That 5-bucks is probably the percentage of your tax-money you gave them over 2-years.
