Until a new president who values the military and realizes the importance of our military comes into office this company among other aerospace companies will be laying of 10s of thousands of employees due to lack of government spending. It doesn't help tht the VP of the company is an idiot, but this company is goin down until government spending in regards to defense spending goes up.

Fear has set in amongst the defense contractors, now it is time for us to get greedy. I really don't think that the Super Committees ineptitude has any real bearing on this stock. Yes, they couldn't come up with a deal and the triggers are set to kick in. BUT the triggers are set for 2013. The cuts aren't really cuts, they are DoD budget freezes. Non military aspects of Raytheon will be looked at to maximize margins. The P/E ratio of RTN is below that of its competitors.
*Side note: I hate the idea of a military industrial complex as an American but there is nothing more American than picking stocks and making money.

On sale, assuming we even have a Defense Department budget next year. Maybe the SEALs spending alone will cover RTNs forward P/E.

I have been a bit hesitant to go with defense stocks given the federal deficit. But seeing what is going on in middle east makes it clear to me that the world is not going to be at peace any time soon. Rtn pays a nice dividend (3.5%) and sells at a cheap price (ev divided by ebidita is 6.4).

Changing of the guards in the middle east/north AFRICA..The entrenched powers have cash from oil and can afford to wage war...They will not go quietly so Defence contractors will do well.

Biggest player in missile guidance systems, missiles and smart bombs, and radar parts for department of defense. With current activity in Libya many missiles will need to be replaced and replenished. Beaten down due to current budget cut fears, but they produce the items most needed going forward.

Tightening belts and government cutback will hurt this company as western governments pare down overseas military operations. The best of the boom is over for defence.

A defense contractor that makes and sells missles.
What can be better than a million dollar bomb. Oh wait, once you use it you gotta purchase more!
Smart company, lots of history with some of the best and brightest employees.
