This is a play on the idea that the "War on Terror" will work about as well as the "War on Drugs"

This company is in expansion and has strong backlogs. Their aviation division is the gold standard and is positioning itself to gain market share.

This is the best stock to invest in but you have to make a decision when to take your profits and when to stay put. Three months it is going to cross $80.00

The company is well run with strong, consistent revenue and a decent dividend. There are no plans for pull-outs within Iraq until 2012, meaning that GD will continue to retrofit and build new tanks (Abrams, Strykers) at a nice profit margin. The IS&T division continues to show strong growth and has long-term large contracts (WIN-T) that will continue to provide consistent revenue.

Witht the new budget just passed and signed by President Bush, it gave the Pentagon an increase of 6% over 2008. It got pushed through without being noticed because of the financial crisis currently. It is a great buy, down $30 in the last two weeks and it will definately go back up, even after another dip. GD will hopefully change its strategy a little and start looking at incorporating 'Nation Rebuilding' into its strategy.

General Dynamics (GD) is one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the United States. It operates through four key divisions: Aerospace, Information Systems & Technology, Combat Systems and Marine Systems. The aerospace segment manufactures the Gulfstream line of business jets primarily for commercial customers, while the other three segments develop and manufacture communication systems, armored vehicles, munitions, naval ships and submarines primarily for the U.S. military. The company had $19.2 billion in revenues in 2004, approximately 70% of which came from the U.S. government. General Dynamics serves two major market segments: defense and commercial aerospace. Nearly 90% of almost 280 analysts rate this stock as buy or hold, while only 10% suggest selling it. Another reason to favor General Dynamics is its fast-growing corporate-jet business, Gulfstream. With more and more corporations seeking to shield their executives from the hassles of flying commercial, Gulfstream now boasts an order backlog of $6.5 billion. GD announced a 2?for?1 stock split and a 15% dividend increase in early 2006. General Dynamics has a relatively strong management team in place. Led by CEO Nicholas Chabraja, GD has far outpaced its peers in the transformation from bloated legacy defense giant to lean, flexible, and extremely cost-conscious firm. General Dynamics shares are subject to a number of risks, including cyclical downturns in the business jet market, declines in defense spending, and the loss of major defense contracts to competitors.
