Its a view I suppose, from an ecologist!.......

Irresponsible engineering and science

Financial connections between some of the world’s most controversial corporations and leading UK engineering and science organisations uncovered in new research.
Britain’s largest science and engineering event for young people – the ‘Big Bang Fair’ – attracts 80,000 people a year. Its main organiser is EngineeringUK, the professional body responsible for the public promotion of engineering.

So far, so good. But there’s a catch. The ‘lead sponsor’ for 2020 – and indeed for every year since the fair’s inauguration in 2009 – is BAE Systems, the biggest arms corporation outside of the USA.......

US Army takes 40-mile shots from extended-range cannon in demo

The ERCA system in the demonstration — called the XM1299 prototype zero — was integrated by BAE Systems, the manufacturer of the M109A7 Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) howitzer.

BAE Systems received an Army contract less than a year ago in July 2019 to integrate the Army-developed cannon onto the PIM howitzer chassis, and the company will make the first 18 prototypes..

shalder. The big Saudi contract (al-yahmama) pays BAE in sold barrels of oil. So I dont think its the oil price. General global issues and market jitters IMO. RW

[shalder] 09/3/2020 17:55

I assume today's BA. share price action reflects potential loss of Saudi orders due to oil price massacre?

The thing is, is my chippy super at risk this week? If it recovers above £5.80 by end of day it should still be on the cards. ;-)

Agree Lako, this fall has nothing to do with how BAE is performing.

[lako42] 05/3/2020 17:51

This seems to be holding up nicely.

Has been on my list for defensive plays in 2020 and that was before this overblown virus saga.

Reaction to virus indicates it might hold up well in general downturn.
