Triggering Event
Categories: Trading
See: Termination Clause.
Lockheed has a deal with the U.S. Government. Taxpayer dollars pay Lockheed to keep at-the-ready a big missile production facility. If a bomb goes off in the Middle East larger than half a megaton and oil prices spike over night more than 10%, Lockheed has the unbridled right to produce 5,000 missiles at $10,000 a drink, immediately.
The triggering event was that bomb plus the oil spike happening at the same time.
