I like to watch Mad Money at 5 every day. Jim Cramer, some love him ,some despise him. He's a huge Eagles fan and has really been happy recently for some reason.
Anyway, tonight he gave us three DEFENSE stocks he likes so I plugged in the numbers for 1 year returns (LMT) Lockheed Martin , up 34.74% 1 yr. Pays a 2.37% Div. (HRS) Harris up 45.04% 1 yr. Pays a 1.53% Div (RTN) Raytheon up 37.88% 1 yr. Pays a 1.59% Div I think he stated Lockheed had like a 100 billion dollar backlog in orders (F-35's) |

LMT has other recent-ish contracts which makes them attractive if you're looking to make money off the unabashed evil that is the military-industrial complex. If you got enough for a lot of shares -go for it.

Does anyone know when options chains get updated? Is it at the end of a day or start of a day? Just curious when looking at numbers after a huge drop like today.

China and Japan down almost 3% right now. Think about this...granted we needed a correction and were due, but all of this violent selling and panic started because wage growth picked up just a smidge, jobless claims dropped and interest rates on the 10 year ticked up a whopping .3%
So because more people are working And People are making more money And Rates ticked up from an already low, low level of 2.5% to 2.8% The market reacted by having some of the most violent and volatile sell offs, i.e. taper tantrums, in history You'd think the ****ing world was coming to an end tomorrow |

The selloff was expected, but not at this type of weekly level. It's pretty crazy to say the least.

Yeah, we were due for a correction. But the violence is being triggered by things like the XIV and other VIX related derivatives that triggered the violence behind the selling. Those derivatives triggered massive selling because of their piss-poor design. Once that started, that started triggering other selling via stops being hit, etc., etc. I am not a huge Jim Cramer fan but he nails this well on why this is happening the way it is. There is no fundamental reason for the sell off to be this violent. But now because it has gone on for a few days, people are starting to fish for reasons that there might be some fundamental change. It's like a vicious cycle...it just starts feeding on itself. More violent selling will trigger retail investors, people like you and me, to start selling which will exacerbate this even more. And why? Ask yourself what is going on economically to justify such a panic? |

im Cramer, CNBC’s “Mad Money” host and resident “booyah” button pusher, isn’t exactly known for measured takes on the stock market.
And Thursday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -4.15% in full retreat, certainly was no different. Here’s what’s irking him about it all: ‘What bothers me is the people who have never looked at a stock and don’t know how to analyze it [are] out in full force today. They’ve never been better about not knowing anything about the stocks. They got it all figured out.’ Cramer also touched on the Vietnam war, his father and talking politics at the dinner table, but that’s all beside the point. As for the wild market action, the former hedge-fund manager blamed a ”group of complete morons” trading leveraged volatility products for “blowing up” everything. While he didn’t call them out by name, he could have been referring to that guy on Reddit who lost $4 million playing the XIV XIV, -18.14% . Or maybe that former Target TGT, -2.92% manager who is trying to recoup his losses by placing a $600,000 bet against volatility VIX, +20.66% .

Asian markets approaching the -4% levels....this is turning into a world-wide crash right now given the velocity of the selling
