I am not an ETF investor myself. But last year I always explicitly pointed out the high Palantir positions in the US defense ETFs to the USER. And rather recommended the European Defense ETF. I was probably a little right about Palantir. However, I now find the US Defense ETF attractive due to the new starting position. By the way, I think your approach of analyzing the large positions in the ETF individually is very good and also very advisable. Even if ETF investors tend to look for the less labor-intensive option. I expect good figures for RTX in May due to the high demand for Patriot. Incidentally, I see a P/E ratio of 122 in the chart for Palantir, which should actually be correct. So far, I have tended to be an opponent of Palantir due to its high valuation. However, if the share falls a little further, I will also consider buying in

@Tenbagger2024 Thank you for your assessment. You're actually right about Palantir, I was still in 2025, when the Kgv was still almost 300.
I don't think the Etf is a bad addition and you reduce the risk a little if you diversify more broadly.

@capital_captain_2693 I agree. As already written, the risk was a little too great for me due to the large palantir share. But if you want to invest in palantir anyway, it would be a good way of minimizing risk
••
@Tenbagger2024 What other defense stocks do you have in your portfolio? But all the stocks presented here are trading at very high multiples. I'm not sure whether there's still so much room for improvement

@investment_sage_bpszl I always had armor values in my company ideas. The last one was L3HARIES . I myself have more shovel suppliers for the defense industry in my portfolio.
••
@Tenbagger2024 and what do you think of the values in the Defense Etf?
But the one you gave me is of course also a good option

@investment_sage_bpszl I'm not quite the expert when it comes to ETFs. But the companies in the large positions are already robust

@Tenbagger2024 I think so too. They're quite good, the only thing I've now clearly noticed again during my research is what @investment_sage_bpsl was already worried about. According to aktienfinder, they are all totally overvalued. But that's probably because it doesn't take into account the future with all the government orders and the entire backlog of orders.
Or am I wrong now?

Armaments have already done well. Perhaps there will even be a small correction at the end of the war
