Why "Bad News Is Good News Again" and How to Profit

Bearish traders are concerned about the growing number of coronavirus cases and the 53 of million Americans who have filed for unemployment in the last 18 weeks.
They think the market has gone up too far, too fast, while the economy could easily be forced to shut down again.
That would have a negative effect on stocks because many businesses won't even be able to operate in a limited capacity as they are now.
But the bulls think governments around the world will backstop another major drop in stocks like they did back in March.
That's where the mantra, "don't fight the Fed" comes from.
Bullish investors are anticipating trillions of dollars' worth of economic stimulus to be pumped into financial markets that will, in effect, put a floor on stock and bond prices.

We just hit the one-year anniversary of one of the largest mergers ever to hit the defense industry – which is coinciding with what could be one of the best buying opportunities its stock will ever give you…
There are plenty of reasons I like the stock the now – and that made me a huge fan of this deal last year.
For one, the merger created a company with more than $16 billion in yearly sales and a whopping $35 billion market cap. It cemented the firm's status as an electronics-centric defense leader, with a strong moat in a field vital to America's security.
First-quarter sales were up by a stunning 168%. Now Mordor Intelligence projects that the sector where this firm excels is going to increase 14% between now and 2024. That's on top of a current base worth $124 billion.
