Insanity everything.......!!!!

It seems like my post about Europas F-35-Sicherheitsdilemma could not have come at a better time:

Dependence on US armaments is increasingly perceived as a risk factor for Europe's military and security sovereignty and is now being publicly addressed at the highest political level faster than I would have expected.

French President Emmanuel Macron

President of France Emmanuel Macron has made it clear in an interview with Le Parisien that he is critical of Europe's purchase and use of US armaments and proposed replacing them with European alternatives.

Macron was also quite clear: "Those who buy Patriot systems should be offered the next generation of the Franco-Italian SAMP/T. Those who buy F-35s should be offered the Rafale fighter aircraft."

His main concern is greater strategic autonomy for Europe:

• Criticism of US systems: Poland plans to buy American F-35 fighter jets ($LMT (-3.69%)) and Patriot ($RYTT34). Macron questions these decisions and proposes European solutions.
• European optionsMacron specifically mentions approaches such as joint European development projects to reduce dependence on the USA. Examples include European fighter jets such as Saab Gripen ($SAAB B (-11.16%)), Eurofighter ($AIR (-8.31%) - $BA. (-9.05%) - $MTX (-9.58%) - $LDO (-14.89%)) or Dassault
  Rafale ($AM (-11.79%)) or air defense systems (e.g. SAMP/T from $HO (-7.85%), $BA. (-9.05%), $AIR (-8.31%) and $LDO (-14.89%) or Oerlikon Skynex from $RHM (-10.98%)).
• Long-term strategyMacron's proposals aim to strengthen Europe's military independence by pooling technology, production capacities and resources in the EU member states' own economic area in the long term.

Macron is thus sending a clear signal for more European cooperation in the defense sector and against an excessive focus on US technology.

$R3NK (-12.52%)
$IE0002Y8CX98 (-10.2%)
$HAG (-12.95%)

Speculation for me: Reverse IPO for KNDS through takeover of $R3NK (-12.52%) .

Dramatic acceleration to go public and carry out capital increase. Extended capitalization.

Urgently needed expansion of production capacities and purchase of the drive and chassis division for Leopard 3 to keep Rheinmetall's KF51 at bay

3. proximity to the Augsburg - Munich site (KMW)

4. with the company name in Germany, extended access to funds from the special assets and tax advantages in Germany compared to KNDS N.V. Holding Netherlands.

KNDS already holds 25% of Renk. Renk is comparatively inexpensive.

Renk's share price should multiply if my speculation proves correct.

- KNDS (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, Leopard 2, Boxer 2000 self-propelled howitzer, ammunition, AI)

- Quantum Systems (drones, customers in Ukraine & USA)

- Helsing (drones, AI)

$R3NK (-12.52%)
$LMT (-3.69%)
$BAE (+0%)
$GD (-7.4%)
$SAAB B (-11.16%)

I have been invested in my defense stocks for over a year now. I have to say that Rheinmetall $RHM (-10.98%) was also the first share I ever bought in January last year. 😁 $HAG (-12.95%)
$BA. (-9.05%)
$KOG (-13.24%)
$R3NK (-12.52%)

Now I'm up more than 100% on many stocks, in some cases almost 200%. But the rally in the last few days and weeks is just crazy.

I am very, very sure that defense stocks will continue to rise in the long term. Otherwise I wouldn't have made the investment. 💁🏽‍♀️ But I am also sure that sooner or later there will be a correction. And for me that is actually a matter of days/weeks.

That's why I'm now considering whether I shouldn't actually realize my profits now and then get back in at a "favorable" time (for me that means -10, -20 or -30%).

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in this area yet, so it's difficult to assess this right now. How do those of you who have been invested for longer do it? Do you also realize gains on shares at a "favorable" time if you are invested in these shares for the long term and are convinced?

Слава Україні 💙💛

I have come to the conclusion from the expected quantities for armored vehicles and self-propelled guns that both volume manufacturers will have to outsource additional production areas. Gear and chassis technology with sensor technology is at the forefront. Therefore continue to invest but also diversify. First position.

$R3NK (-12.52%)

I'm curious to see what effect it will have in the medium term. What is your opinion?

where do you see $DE000RENK730 (-12.52%) and $RHM (-10.98%) in the coming year?

In principle, I would say that since we are likely to get a government in Germany with the CSU/CDU, which will continue to represent interests to participate passively in the war and also to increase our armed forces, an increase is realistic.

Your opinion on $RHM (-10.98%) I am particularly interested, as I personally find this share somewhat overpriced. (market capitalization just under € 27 billion, net profit € 535 million
