Jay a hedge of sorts on a deteriorating security situation. Note I have not analysed this at all or invested, merely reportage. Armor Group investing.reuters.co.uk A fast growing company and it's shares at 149.5p seem cheap on nine times 2005 earnings. It sounds like a bargain, but what do i know? Armor provides protective security services (often armed security personnel) to many of the world's trouble hotspots. Where there is conflict, you will find Armor. In the year just ended sales have almost doubled and for 2005 they are conservatively expected to rise by 16% to give earning growth of 24%. The order book is 130% ahead of this time last year and there are large orders in the pipeline - one significant contract could be announced later this month. More than 50% of the group's activities are in the middle east, but Armor can expect to follow the oil giants and infrastructure companies around the globe. I know some will find it objectionable investing in such ventures but you've got to do what you have to to stay ahead? Hey I didn't cause the conflict did I?
