Testing 2013 support levels

First earnings miss in a while, will reload on this one if it dips a little more.

Stuck shorty?

When NICS data goes down, gun sales are sure to follow. I would not be comfortable as a buyer at these levels. Time to sell short IMO. All the insider selling is not comforting either.

"Earlier this week, analysts at KeyBanc pointed out that NICS data on handgun background checks run by the FBI in December (indicative of handgun purchase activity in the U.S.) was down 32.5% year over year against December 2012. That means that as a whole, Q4 background checks were down about 19.4% year over year. Even worse, KeyBanc noted that it seems to be seeing "a heightened promotional environment (the likes of which have not been seen for several quarters now)" among gun sellers. This, in turn, suggests that profit margins on the few guns that were sold last quarter may not have been all that great."

I hear ya, I sold my Jan $60.50 calls a couple of weeks ago, I doubled my money but left over 15 grand on the table.

And now wish I had held my shares.

Healthy beat on both lines for Sturm Ruger (RGR): Q3 EPS of $1.44 beats by $0.23. Revenue of $170.9M beats by $16M

RGR last 9 months: sales +45%, EPS +65% YoY

Sold calls today at $9.80 an easy double.

Just bought 10 more Jan $60.50 calls at $4.90 got 17 total calls now.

Not sure why the dip today, I'm taking the opportunity to load up on call options.

Sold my 7 contracts at $6 today from $4.20 nice little gain, hope to reload again before earnings.

Added a couple more calls this morning at 3.50, got 7 now ave. at $4.20

Wow, got those just in time apparently, up 400 bucks in just a few minutes, wish I had bought more. LOL

Bought the Nov $60 calls today at $4.50 5 contracts

Earnings Oct 28th, 32% short interest 19 days to cover and I think most all of them have to be underwater at the moment. Another good earnings report and I think it goes to $70 pretty easy.

RGR posted absolutely blow out earnings this afternoon, went over $55 after hours, still holding tight to my Jan $40.50 calls

Sold my RGR yesterday at $51.50 from $47.20 Decided to forgo the dividend, still have the Jan 2015 $40.50 calls

Like Chicago? LOL

I thought we were in america who gives a shit what chinese gun laws are. Anyone who wants to force foreign policies on others should go live in the gun restricted places they are praising. If they want change get up and move to your fairy tale gun restrictive foreign wonderland.

Nice. Hoping for some good movement this week. Holding a handful of $55 May 18 calls.

Awesome, huge earnings beat and increased divs

http://www.ruger.com/corporate/news/2013-04-29a.html

Think I am going to hold through earnings today, my calls up 30% plus, hope I am doing the right thing.

Loaded up today long at $47.20 also have 2014 $40.50 calls

Ha Ha Ha you so funny; let China come over here and take them, or anyone else for that matter.

RGR is very risky, CHINA said to take away all the guns.

Gun shops have been the beneficiaries of a marked rise in sales since the tragedy at Newtown left 27 people dead. The incident reignited the never-ending public debate over gun control legislation in our country. On Wednesday of this week, President Obama put his strategy to tighten gun laws before the American people. The proposal includes a ban on assault-type weapons and much stricter regulations regarding background checks on perspective buyers. Ironically, any move to intensify regulations has had the reverse effect of the president’s proposed laws. It has literally put more guns into the hands of the public as gun sales are in the process of ramping up dramatically at this writing. With well over 300 million weapons now on the street it is debatable if such restrictive laws would ever pass congress but gun owners aren’t taking any chances. As a result, increased sales have helped to send gun manufacturer stocks through the roof, and shares jumped again on Wednesday during Obama’s speech.

Whatever the outcome of the legislation, Sturm Ruger & Company (NYSE: RGR) along with competitor Smith and Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: SWHC) are riding the wave of gun owner uncertainty. Sturm Ruger rose another four percent yesterday in heavy volume, on the heels of Wednesday’s five percent hike. Previously shares had been unchanged since the school shooting on December 14 2012, but they are up 24 percent from a year ago. Smith & Wesson stock rose 6.5 percent to $8.98. Shares are down 12 percent since the school shooting, but up a respectable 76 percent from a year ago. Shares in Cabela’s (NYSE: CAB), a sporting goods merchandiser which sells guns, have also seen an increase, up this week by 6.3 percent. Although shares in gun makers have been climbing in recent years on higher sales, the horrible incident in Connecticut has provided impetus on both sides; sending many investors rushing to the exits as the likelihood for stricter controls has begun to solidify. Conversely, many more traders are rushing in to buy attempting to cash in on the rally. The investors are betting on gun sales and not on gun controls at this point. Those exiting are betting on stricter gun legislation in the offing.

In the end, while Americans support gun control in theory, it seems that very few Americans want the government to limit personal rights to get a gun. No matter which side you come down on, there is no denying the recent rally in trading of gunsmith shares. Sturm Ruger has a market cap of $988.85 million and is trading at $52.15. Smith & Wesson has a market cap of $589.67 million and is trading at $8.98 per share. Both companies are doing well by the numbers right now and are worth a bit of research in order to see if they are viable options for your portfolio. Yesterday, we put a short story out on SWHC, which was down 1% for the session. It’s a hot-button issue and will continue to be so in the long-term.

Well they got me out 46.50 this AM should have held out for higher though no big deal, GO RUGER

NRA Exec VP had good points about having qualified armed security in schools but I think as a person he's a dumbass...if it was me on that podium I would have addressed the protesters instead of just stick to the script.

Missed the AM push, got a nice position $43 on the dot, looking for a modest $45.50-46 on the 50ma

I'll be buying RGR when we see a bottom around here, gun control is not the problem, it's the lack of education in my opinion. Taking protection away from the public is NOT the answer. I believe it's the mere lack of education. This country was founded on self-defense from the British. Younger people are out of touch, too many video games.

If anything, blame the gory video games and movies.

If anything just make it 25yrs old to purchase a firearm.

Don't take away our right to bear arms, that's just ridiculous.

Now is the time

I took some profits today.

Double Bottom...Nice!

Interesting level. Will be watching Monday's open. Brad, you on bored?

Looking to add more gains here after the SWHC earnings report...

RGR 2 for 1 split should seriously be looked at by the company here in my opinion (or better yet a 3 for 1). That would make the share price more attractive to new investors as it has done with SWHC.

For example, look at Smith and Wesson (SWHC) right now. The PE ration is 38 currently, and it's share price is under $10. Ruger PE ration is 16 currently. A more affordable price per share as a result of a stock split would give RGR some momentum and reward investors. It's just my opinion, and I think RGR is a better company overall.

I am looking for an entry point into SWHC, but in my opinion the PE ratio doesn't not warrant the current share price. Long on RGR at these prices.

Notice how RGR and SWHC have spiked after earnings announcement each time this year. RGR is following SWHC's pattern in the below chart. RGR earnings announcement is coming on August 1st.
