OVERVIEW Inherently, big defense contractors are expected to eliminate jobs as the Pentagon has lowered spending on traditional weapon systems, while smaller, niche companies may accelerate hiring as the United States garners resources to protect ground troops and strategic computer networks. Industry pioneer Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) aims to reduce 600 jobs as a result of the US Defense Department's decision to terminate the VH-71 presidential helicopter program. The Boeing Company (BA) hinted that Pentagon cuts would claim 1,000 jobs in its defense business, affecting staffing at various work sites in the United States in missile defense and in the Army's Future Combat Systems modernization program, which is now being opened to more competition. The large commercial aircraft sector is expected to generate most of its revenue from Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) and the Middle East, relying less on U.S. orders because of the ...

I'm a shareholder and pretty frequent follower of Swiss industrial/electrical company ABB (a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ABB"ABB/a).

In doing my normal Saturday reading, I came across a a href="http://online.barrons.com/article/SB124786932728760309.html"feature in Barrons/a about Swiss industrial/electrical giant ABB (a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ABB"ABB/a).

Nanotech Stocks: Profiting From Spintronics With NVE Corp. (NVEC)

by Louis Basenese, Advisory Panelist Senior Analyst, The Oxford Club

When a subscriber recently asked us if we were hot on any nanotech stocks, my immediate reply was, “No.”

But it wasn’t because I’m not excited about the nanotech field…

Over $50 billion in product sales last year included some form of nanotechnology. The National Science Foundation’s asserts the nanotechnology market will top $1 trillion by 2015. You don’t need me to tell you, but I will… Few industries, if any, can boast such strong prospects.

Worse yet, whenever I did find a compelling technology - one capable of actually making money - it was typically buried as a tiny operation beneath a megacap. Even if the

While naturally produced spider silk has long been understood to have a superior level of tensile strength, research institutions and companies alike are seemingly on the verge of attaining the ability to harness this technology and apply it to various fields of endeavor. Sure, the idea of using such spider silk to swing from one building to another might be attractive to a certain comic book superhero fan club. In reality, however, the utility of this “packaged spider silk” could virtually spread across multiple, disparate applications in both governmental and commercial sectors. This concept of application versatility truly showcases this technology’s remarkable value for growth in the not-so-distant future.

Take Velcro back in the 1940’s, for example. This “zipperless zipper” idea came to a Swiss engineer named George de Mestra after witnessing seeds continually latching onto his clothes and his dog’s fur.
