I own the defense ETF, ITA. It’s performed quite well.

Don’t like single company risk.

Agree. I don’t pick individuals stocks too well. But have had a few winners over the years.

I see Vanguard has most of their aerospace and defense stocks in an Industrials ETF mix. Might try that. Need to move some $ around.

Good comment. The average investor is probably not inclined to do the research necessary to fully understand a company’s risk profile, performance metrics, financial health, or valuation ratios. Investing in individual companies is risky, even for those equipped with financial knowledge and analysis skills.
