I like certain stocks in the defense sector, especially the middle-tier ( not prime ) electronics defense contractor L-3 Communications.
Buy L-3 today with a stop in at $61.50 for a long term "core" position.
$1.2 billion in net free cash flow and corporate guidance of +10% nominal earnings growth for 2009 = $7.50 per share,; with 8% organic growth vs the 6% sector metric, $1 billion stock re-purchase over the next 2 years, and the smallest pension fund expense "headwind" in the entire defense sector.
