I am in love with this company...I wish I could have bought a lot just 2-3 months ago

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!

Just bought $LOAR out of FOMO - it's a company that appears to have immense growth potential for both the defense and aerospace industries and I believe it is still under-regarded by retail investors.

At the moment it is really one of the few stocks, together with $COHR (+0.97%), for which I could consider unbalancing the portfolio with percentages greater than 3%.

Let me know if any of you have already checked it out.
