(To preface before saying anything, I only broke into the stock market a few days ago so I'm an incredibly new person to all of this. Apologies if I'm asking dumb questions) The currently stock options I'm looking at are GOOGL, LMT, RTX, META, VOO, and SPY. LMT & RTX are more hit or miss…

Hi guys, First a disclaimer : I am a total newbie, so forgive me for the dumb questions. Couple of weeks ago somebody posted about AXP and why they believed AXP was a good company to invest in. I didn’t buy at the time but kept an eye on the stock. Since then the stock…
