re: The data I presented precisely addressed the original point, unlike yours which was at best a 3rd order effect

Crap. I showed you the growth of the defense contractors.


No you did not. You showed me the growth of the share price of the military contractors. More money spent on the military industrial complex is the direct issue. Revenue and profit for the contractors are second order factors. The share price is a third order factor.

Also as I've pointed out you give a highly distorted picture. You select a low time for BOTH stock prices and military spending for your starting point, and you look at 7 companies now that could have been 70 companies in the 70s.

You have an interesting habit of totally ignoring the weaknesses in your arguments.
