Because today is Sunday there is another "points king from my depot "

$TDG (+0,89%)

TransDigm is still in a 2-year sideways movement.

Looking at the 10-year chart, however, we can see that this consolidation could soon come to an end.

Despite the long consolidation, the share was still attractive due to the high special dividend.

I like the good but still rising EBIT margin.

Due to the high number of points 14/15 in the Traderfox Robustness Checkthe share is also good for BUY & HOLD investors.

In addition, it was able to bear market 2020 with an annual performance of +10,51 % as a hedge.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next bear market is sure to come. Do you think the share is a good hedge?
