How to get rich killing people… legally

No, I’m not suggesting joining a milita, army or similar since you won’t get rich doing that… and maybe get killed or blown up! That’s not good.

I’m only writing about how to make a fortune in the killing business using General Dynamics stock as an example of how killing people can be very profitable.

Our government depends on foreign wars to keep the offense defense businesses profitable, Americans employed and to help continued reelection of our self centered politicians. They want to keep their faces in the public money trough for as long as possible.

After all, if we had a peaceful world, it would be very bad for business, and being elected again, and again and again. After all, that’s the most important thing in politics. Re-election… plus insider stock trading and a fat federal pension.

I just read an article about how our administration wants to send lot’s of money to increase the production of 155mm shells and howitzers, since we gave the old jumk away to Ukraine to kill Russians (good for peaceful relations?), and probably some to Israel in their genocide quest.

So if you would have bought 1,000 shares of General Dynamics on the first trading day of year 2000 it would have cost you about $26,000.

You can see the dividend payouts here.

Assuming that you received the dividends in cash and spent it on far too many bigger and bigger TVs, they would have paid you $102,440 in dividends until today! That’s a lot of TVs… so perhaps a car or two as well.

And that $26,000 including a 2:1 stock split would mean you could sell it all for $490,000. That’s a half million dollars plus about $102,440 in dividends over the years, about $4,500 average per year) from a $26,000 initial investment.

Who says that killing isn’t a good business to be in?
