This company is gaining traction with its advanced security and surveillance equipment. This is a growth industry in a world at risk for terrorist violence and organized crime.

This is called your "pitch" and is optional.

More people equals more wackos. As economies worldwide suffer varying degrees of contraction, the numbers of unemployed "activists" will only increase, as will their threats. Hate to sound so negative, but it seems logical.

Obama's already dismantling the CIA with his appointment of Panetta. The need for ASEI's products will only increase as the international terror threat increases.

Over the next few years I predict a few more terrorist attacks (although probably not on American soil) which will cause more people to become worried about public safety. The increase in attacks could come as a result of people testing President-elect Obama's resolve. Also, with a recession that is likely to be with us for the next year or so people will want more security overall and this will translate into more money spent on security-inspired devices such as x-ray machines for airports.

With our National security a continuing issue, companies with the technology such as (ASEI) has available, will be a valuable asset for years to come. I believe they have the financial strength to continue to grow. They are definitely positioned to do so in today's world.
