Hmmm...my brother-in-law works for them as an Engineer:
Aerospace giant Northrop Grumman’s stocks saw sharp 4.53% rise, among several defence companies defying market trend as US and other NATO countries warned citizens to leave Ukraine.
I will never work for them. They low-ball me so I said no thanks.
Here is a quick difference of what you would have made if you used $6800 between NOC and CL. They both went up about the same percentage.
Assuming you entered the lowest and exited the highest. I don't know if this is to the penny, but its close enough.
From 2/1 - 2/11
CL (Crude Oil Futures) - 86.50 to 94.60
NOC(Northrop) - 364.50 to 401.25
Depending on the broker, you will need at least and about 6800 to hold one CL contract over night. Assuming the prices above... You would have at least 8 points ($1K per point) * 1 contract = $8K profit. Assuming you had 19 shares of NOC at 364.50 you would have made 401.25 - 364.50 = 36.75 then you multiple that by 19 and you profit 698.25.
