- ZMan2: $LDOS at ATH today.
- issues: @Roadrunner $gd $RTX $LMT We also have $LDOS , $DFEN, $AJRD and $HON. Maybe anticipating a conservative congress?
- vcondry: $LDOS one to keep an eye on approaching its 52wk high (just low volume today)
- vcondry: $LDOS a slow mover but still just keeps going up (IT Services etc)
- vcondry: @Docoof $ICFI $BAH $SAIC $HURN $CBZ $CACI $NVEE $CRAI $PSN add $LDOS to your group... competitor with $SAIC one of my buddies works for them...always busy also goverment/DOD contracts
- Docoof: @vcondry $ICFI $BAH $SAIC $HURN $CBZ $CACI $NVEE $CRAI $PSN $LDOS Thanks—and done. $LDOS has moved >10% up since mid month. Not too shabby. (I was going by how IBD categorized industry groups and $LDOS is indeed in this group.)
- issues: @debeers $LHX Also $LDOS is in the same space.
- vcondry: @Docoof $FCN $RGP $HURN $BAH $SAIC my wife hires a lot of people for $SAIC many government contracts good company...always seems to be hiring...must be making money without too much fuss even in this economy... $LDOS is another company in that group
- vcondry: @vcondry $FCN $RGP $HURN $BAH $SAIC $LDOS going opposite $HURN kinda looks like a decent short at 64/65 just ride to 60/61 then buy if it rebounds?

$TTC -- ear ... - scottrades: My Swing notes: $SSO Down slightly. Not quite Markets In Turmoil just yet. $QLD Low Volume. Everyone must be shopping today. $CASH Loose bands, but holding above the 50Day. Look for a higher Low. $YETI Some weakness into the close. Might want to consider selling some into strength on the next pop. $MFC Coming out of a Squeeze, 50 Day is curling up. $FICO Cup & Handle. Watch above 370 $ORCC Slow mover but pays a 7% Yield. 2 Ways to trade this. (Buy and Hold for the Divy or wait for a break above 18.30) $LKQ Good volume today. You want it to stay above 35.66 $MO Bands are getting tight. Good volume the last few days. $AMT Good volume and a push above the 50 Day $SYK Nice pickup in volume a move above the 50 Day. $LDOS Popped out of a squeeze on great volume.
- champ: @scottrades $SSO $QLD $CASH $YETI $MFC $FICO $ORCC $LKQ $MO $AMT $SYK $LDOS ---- The $SPY, is not even close to dropping yet, for now. The word Turmoil, is not a word that I would use. The $SSO is up 10.92% off of the 12/5 low and the last 3-days, this has been holding the flat line, which is really positive, for now...at this market level. Just saying... because I'm holding a position.
- stairm01: @scottrades $SSO $QLD $CASH $YETI $MFC $FICO $ORCC $LKQ $MO $AMT $SYK $LDOS $AMT is in a tight VS at the 50 and 200 dma which is one of @Dan favorites. I'll be watching closely for a continuation move from today.

- debeers: $LDOS- Forgot to give you the history: Total Return 1 Year- +17.7% 3 Year 125.8% 5 Year 215.0%
- BobbyG: $CERN $LDOS both rising above resistance points.
- BobbyG: $LDOS starting to break out.
- BobbyG: $LDOS posting ATHs. Full disclosure - I have an Apr 65 call that I got for $3 bucks. My timing was very bad, but illiquid options are only spec trades for me. Just holding and finally doing well after I got pummeled late last month. Planning to hold until maturity unless my stop gets hit. The options are cheap IMO - IV rank is low.
- Trixie: @Hank1 $BA $NOC $LMT $OA I have also been watching $LDOS and $NAV sort of indirectly related Looking for the right entry for my personality.
- Trixie: $LDOS might be one to watch in the defense area. not too far from the 50ma reasonable consolidation around here, and a breakout from this area would send 'er to new 52 wk highs..
- woodman: $LDOS - sold.
- woodman: $LDOS has been coming back nicely.
- Trixie: @woodman $LDOS that is the one that had been spun off of $LMT or did that fancy merger right?
- woodman: @Trixie $LDOS $LMT Yes. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2016/august/081616-lockheed-martin-closes-transaction-with-leidos.html
- arrow: @woodman $LDOS $LMT That's not "coming back" for $LDOS, it's new highs. The big gap in the chart was a $13+ special dividend in connection with the $LMT transaction. That was an all around great transaction.
- woodman: @arrow $LDOS $LMT - Thanks. I didn't know that. I bought it last week after it got through the 200 day (as it appears on TC2000). I am not versed in the effect on the LDOS corporate entity and the chart in terms of being an accurate reflection of ...
- arrow: @woodman $LDOS $LMT The concept of resistance at a certain level is primarily thought to be about holders/buyers just wanting to get back to even. However, any holders of $LDOS from that level were paid 13.64 in cash per share and are certainly not feeling any pain/regret. I doubt they look at an unadjusted chart and think "I should sell, it can't breach this resistance". You can try analyzing the chart on freestockcharts.com, it displays adjusted for the dividends. (Use _LDOS for unadjusted). My $LDOS holdings are remains from the LMT exchange.
- woodman: @arrow $LDOS $LMT Good idea. Thanks.
- woodman: $LDOS making a nice comeback. Wish I saw it sooner.
- JJT1: @jmm487 $LMT $LDOS Maybe People not liking Merger closing announced on 16th, when chart gets squirrelly.
- Trixie: @JJT1 $LMT $LDOS $LMT.. jsut a fast eyeballing.. but it looks like that last push was roughly 30% from the last touch of the 200m.. i think that is a pretty reasonably move for it to have had.. Some sideways seems very logical.. How much down.. We'll find out..
- Trixie: @GaVaHokie $LMT $NOC $RTN $LMT this one wasn't able to match the top of the channel that i have had drawn from awhile back.. Even w all the gusto from t he $LDOS/Splitco enthusiasm last week. (this is something that Dan has warned is often a warning sign signalling bigger p/b's or changing of things).. It is still holding the 20m as i type this .. The 50ma would correspond there abouts w the channel i have drawn.
- GaVaHokie: @Trixie $LMT $NOC $RTN $LDOS Great chart! I'm holding $RTN for the long haul. It's in the sector I like best long term, which is Cyber Defense.
- ogas: $LMT, $LDOS - so it looks like the tender offer is priced at $107.42. So LMT will convert every $100 worth of stock for $107 - an immediate 7% gain. Question is - how will the new Leidos stock ultimately behave. Anyone know anything about Leidos?
- HooDat06: @ogas $LMT $LDOS What used to be $SAIC split off into two companies - $SAIC and $LDOS. $LDOS was theoretically the "higher end" of the two companies, although the stock action has suggested investors prefer $SAIC. I think $SAIC got the be ...
- jg: @AB $LMT Offering to exchange shares of LMT for $LDOS with an 11% premium. You can get terms on LMT website. Need to tender today
- ogas: @jg $LMT $LDOS - How are you calculating the 11%? If they are giving you $107 share for $100 that seems to be a 7% gain.
- Trixie: @ogas $LMT $LDOS From what i got on my letter from Td direct and what i've seen on the 1st pg of the prospectus.. each $100usd in value of LMT common stock accepted in exchange offer holders will receive ~$111.00USD in value of Splitco common stock. subject to upper limit of 8.2136 shares of splitco common stock /share of LMT common stock. (option also applicable to odd lot holders (they must tender all, but not less than all of their odd lot holdings <100shares).. from the 1st pg of the prospectus they say that you could also get less than the $111/share if the upper limit is in effect http://www.envisionreports.com/LockheedMartinExchangeDocuments2/2016/14308JL16/default.htm#p=1&c=0&v=1?voting=false Sorry i don't understand the words myself :S
- ogas: @Trixie $LMT $LDOS They announced that the price was $107 and some change so I interpreted that to mean that holders would not receive $111.00. I chose to keep my $LMT shares based on the charts. $LDOS's chart was a zig-zag and $LMT's chart was from the lower left to the upper right.
- Trixie: $LMT.. i've been long this one since 06/14. I haven't managed to wade thru the $LMT/$LDOS splitco documentation and make a lot of sense of it. I think the offer for the sale of LMT/LDOS shares to become the splitco is Aug 12. The splitco isn't supposed to be tradable if i understand correctly.. I realize this deal is creating a lot of churn in the stock hence increased volume.. Yet i can't help but look at this chart and not think that this is looking climax toppy..however it still looks to be playing reasonably well within the channel and doesn't look too far extended.. This volume just feels spooky.. I'm really thinking of selling 1/2 the position.. As i think even w the deal it will likely suffer at least some decrease in value..
- ogas: @Trixie $LMT $LDOS I just came on to post about this also. If it occurs as they plan, if shares are tendered, the new shares would gain 11% immediately. Very confusing and I'm going to pour over the documentation tonight. Anyone else considering tendering their shares?
- Trixie: @ogas $LMT $LDOS as far as i know we have to give our directions to our broker by 11:59 am Aug 12th toronto time.. so est per the letter i got from tos/Td direct invest
- ogas: @Trixie $LMT $LDOS According to Fidelity the price is suppose to be announced first thing in the morning so we have time to see it before acting upon it.
- arrow: @ogas $LMT $LDOS See this link http://bit.ly/2aF18HD
- ag1: $LMT $LDOS Not sure if this will make the Stock Gap up or not but Fidelity says that I need to make a decision: "This is a notification of AN EXCHANGE OFFER for LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION. The offering is made by LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC. and expires on August 16, 2016." http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2016/january/012516-lm-it-services-update.html Lockheed Martin to Separate and Combine IT and Technical Services Businesses with Leidos Transaction Anticipated to Unlock $5 billion in Value for Lockheed Martin Stockholders Lockheed Martin to receive one-time special cash payment of $1.8 billion Lockheed Martin stockholders to receive 50.5 percent equity in Leidos, worth approximately $3.2 billion Transaction is highly complementary to strategic objectives of both corporations with substantial synergies and potential to enhance value for both sets of stockholders Tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction completes portfolio reshaping efforts announced July 2015

- HooDat06: Two stocks I'm holding in the government services sector: $LDOS and $SAIC. Oddly enough, these two used to be wed together but were spun apart a few years ago. The thesis behind buying defense stocks should apply to these as well (much more than aerospace stocks, which trade on completely different dynamics). $LDOS has been riding the 200 MA the past few days - if it pops above $50, I'm going to add. $SAIC is in a very tight VS. Will add if it breaks out above $54.
- Trixie: @HooDat06 $LDOS $SAIC I can't say I've followed it close enough to be knowledgeable on the agreement.. But it sounds like $LMT and $LDOS are partnering to spin off their Info systems and global solutions sectors by the 3 or 4th Q of 2016.. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2016/january/012516-lm-q4-fy2015-earnings.html You maybe out b4 this becomes an issue..g'luck either way
- HooDat06: @Trixie $LDOS $SAIC $LMT Thanks Trixie. Was aware of the transaction. I think it weighed on the stock while some of its peers such as $CACI soared because it's a lot to swallow, but if they execute on the acquisition, it should be huge for $LDOS. In government contracting, scale is the name of the game because it allows you to bid lower rates than your competitors, so this was the right move strategically. Just need management to make it work.
- hconly: Bought into $ICFI today. Warning - small cap and thinly traded. Like its position in gov't services sector, very cheap. Peers $CACI and $LDOS have run hard the past few weeks. Unusually high volume the past week or so. Probably not for everyone, but figured I'd contribute for once.
- woodman: @Jorma $PANW $CYBR $FEYE $DDD $SSYS $HACK #Cybersecurity - I have a wider cybersecurity watchlist than the $HACK components, but even if you look at the $HACK components, you'll see a wide variety of charts. Some in the upper right, some moving to the upper right, some in the lower right, some dropping even out of the lower right to more lower right. Compare, for instance, $PFPT $ZIXI $LDOS $VRSN to $CYBR, $FTNT $FEYE $CUDA. I had a position in $HACK but sold it.
