Right. As our friend would say, "nicht zehr gut!". Even when it is popular, it is up a lot since 9-11, but I expect also this side of the market to neutralise. With the loss in credibility a mo stock like the defense stocks have been, can easily go out of favor. NOC did some acquisitions in the past and perhaps such stock will be sold subsequently... It is stealing. It is wasting taxpayers money and perhaps not very opportune in a time when public funds are shrinking, not growing... But nothing wrong with gullibility. USIX put out earning this evening, stating that the common equity will be "materially" diluted (to naught),... stock went up afterhours...

Too funny! 3:27AM Northrop Grumman (NOC) 100.35: The Pentagon and the Navy will ask the contractors currently competing for the DD-21 contract -- Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics (GD 81.50) -- to return to the drawing board and quickly come up with a new ship that also can be adapted for missile-defense purposes as well as attacking closer to shore, reports the Wall Street Journal... NOC and GD have been vying for the DD-21 work since 1999... Winner of the revised competition is expected to be announced in the spring of 2002. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Edit... what a nice grub! #8400 @ 8:04
