I didn't know DOD bought stock at all. Interesting. And a bit weird. And unsettling. You occasionally hear about pensions being wiped out because of bad investments. The thought the DOD could suffer that is a bit scary. Not that they would be wiped out, just that they could take a hit and have to ask Congress for more money.

It would make more sense to me if they used the money to stockpile the materials.
