I don’t believe the S&W of today, is the same one from the Clintoon era.

What every gun owner in the US should own is an NRA membership.

I sold ALL my guns at the last gun show! No guns! No Ammo! I bought two assegis, one for the front room and one for the back. Oh yes, I do have a very powerful sling shot.

No guns here Obama! No guns!

I think it's high time we all have a framed stock certificate for these companies hanging on a dining room wall. Don't you?

Can you even get stock certificates anymore? I've been strictly book entry since I opened my first account fifteen years ago.

James Lileks has an interesting site of some stock certificates

, but I don't know even if you get a certificate whether it is a fancy engraved version or just a computer printed page with a barcode and the number of shares it represents.

Why should I bother doing anything? The govt. should bail out the gun makers with tax revenues from “the rich.” /s

My gun collection was destroyed in a fire, nothing but rocks and a slingshot for me, and the rifle I’m ordering this week will be ceremonially cut up and shipped to the dump, all in honor of Obambi. But, I like the idea of having stock in Ruger and Smith & Wesson. Can I get it online?

"... S&W is trading around $2.00 a share and Ruger around $5.00. In Aug. '07, S&W hit a high of $22.80. Ruger at the time hit $22.58."

You advise to invest in stocks that are worth 10% of their value this time last year?

Smarter investment this time last year would have been aluminum, lead, copper, and brass.

You know: Aluminum machined into AR lowers, and lead/copper/brass formed into ammunition.

Related question(s)...

My husband and I are thinking of buying a firearm for the first time. Recommendations under $500? Handgun vs shotgun or rifle? The initial intent is for home defense (with the paranoia factor of soon not being able to get anything).

Important mention - although we come from an expansive military and hunting family, we have little (him) to no (me) experience with firearms. I’d like one I can learn easily and handle comfortably.

Thanks for the input, all, and for the thread - saves me the vanity post I’d been intending. :)

The best I’ve ever done is 401k. Is there any way to buy these shares a few at a time? Most places I look only want your business if you can plunk down $10,000 up front. I can’t do that.

Yes but there's usually a $50-$75 fee (designed to discourage just such a request) for physical certificate delivery. Or you can go to Oneshare and buy one share of popular stock and have it framed.

I was surprised to see that Oneshare actually has Ruger certificates but no S&W.
