Currently the largest ammunition manufacturing entity in the world. Since 2000 ATK has grown significantly as a result of both internal expansion and a series of acquisitions.

I need a steady supply of Bullets to protect my sugar supply.
I also think of this as a defense play.

With the impending Obama win and the inevitable increase in government spending to follow, this company should continue to do well for at least the next several years.

ATK makes all the rifle bullets used by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. They also manufacture many larger munitions. As long as the US is engaged in armed conflict, ATK should do well.

Carries a high debt and insider sells are telling. Watch out for accounting issues in the future as goodwill has never been written down despite paying premiums in M&A and a market that certainly would not favor buying these "assets" ATK is a poster child for cost plus over runs that McCain will eliminate thus the 40% load of these contracts currently giving ATK a tax payer slush fund bonanza will go away shortly. Currently over bought and being pumped continuously - watch for rotation out of the sector to really hurt. CEO and CFO have little experience and are grossly over paid.

This baby is coming off of a nice double bottom reversal at $100ish and is most likely going to recapture lost gains in the mid $120s and proceed to fit new highs before this summer is over. Say hello to investors looking to survive a recession this summer by jumping into the defense sector.

With the war and all, ATK is a great pick since they furnish ammo and other WMDs to the Gov. As long as we're fighting, ATK is making money

Allied Technologies is a great play in the defense sector. They make the lead that go in the rounds our troops use. For all those people that are against the war you still need to look at this stock. We will be in Iraq and Afghanistan for years to come. That means this company will make profits and more profits.
