WSJ: China, India Border Stoke Rivalry

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:14:12 GMT

Interesting time for this very compelling story in the Wall Street Journal as we were just having this discussion in the past 2 weeks in one of our comment threads - the potential friction between India and China as they "grow up".

As long as world peace does not break out in the coming decades we'll still have one niche thriving.[More...]

A New Era In The Defense Industry: Lock And Load On Profits

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:44:41 GMT

Over the past year, stocks of companies in the defense industry have taken a beating, down thirty percent… forty percent… or more. Valuations have taken an even harder knock, with forward price-to-earnings dropping to just under nine times 2010 earnings… their lowest levels since the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War led to the US cutting defense spending by more than half.[More...]

Anyone unfortunate enough to have watched any of the Congressional hearings on any of the myriad of topics that that august body deemed necessary enough to haul someone in front of them for showed the Nation if not specifically their constituents that our hard earned tax dollars really are(n’t) at work but gave us all a very good idea of one of the definitions of the word “drone”.[More...]
