Hi Doug. Aerospace and Defense stocks are attractive for several reasons. * We're seeing good earnings numbers and increasing backlogs. * There's consolidation in the industry. * The cancellation and/or delay of orders from Asia was first perceived as a negative, but it is now being viewed as a positive. The industry could not meet the worldwide demand prior to Asia's problems. As Asia recovers, they will keep the sector hopping in the future. * DOD contracts will be awarded in the fall - the start of the fiscal year for our Govt. * Many of the Aerospace and Defense companies have been able to diversify their product offerings and have penetrated new markets offering higher profit margins. * Increasing demand for business jets, increased worldwide air travel, increased demand for service and repair. Here's a list of some other stocks in this sector with attractive charts. ATPX may not qualify on the chart but I own it and included it in the list. quote.yahoo.com Sergio
