Last month, in anticipation of potential conflict in Ukraine, I purchased shares in defense and Energy, namely Lockheed Martin (LMT), Raytheon (RTX), and Tellurian (TELL), which have since generated returns of 24.36%, 8.32%, and 28.06%, respectively.
I am unsure of whether to sell. The conflict has created intense demands for rearmament in European countries, and energy prices are climbing. However, I suspect the stagnation of the Russian offensive and punishing impact of sanctions may force Moscow to the negotiating table very soon. Obviously, all decent people hope for peace as soon as possible, though this would of course adversely impact my portfolio.
I am interested in hearing what others think with respect to timing the sale of defense, energy and other positively affected stocks at the current juncture.
