Hi,
I am 27 years old guy from Europe. I've decided to learn some things about investing about 3 years ago. After the year of reading and observing stuff I've decided to put some money into the stock market. My first investment was WBD, on which I currently sit with 55% loss but that's not the main point here.
I've learned some things since then, mainly about EPS/EPP/Debt/Broader market conditions/Dividends and other factors.
One thing has been boggling me for a few months now. Seeing the direction the World is heading right now (everyone's arming to the teeth asap) I've decided to invest a huge part of my savings into defense market stocks (Rheinmetall, Lockheed, Northrop, General Dynamics, and even some small part into Boeing). The concern I have is with the Rheinmetall. I only get positive feedback from their actions, every 2/3 weeks they announce some huge contract for vehicles/munitions etc. I've bought the stock in March for 420 Euros per share. It then rose to 550 and has recently fallen to 470-490 brackets. It has fallen more than 10% without any bad news around the company. Can someone explain to me how exactly does it work? Am I missing something? I don't mind losing money when my scenario just doesn't play out, but when it comes to RHM nothing bad happens. I can't comprehend why the stock falls so much then. Am I just dumb to try and find a logical reason for such behaviour on the stock market?
I'll be grateful for any answers from someone much more experienced than me.
I really need to wrap my head around it…
