    This Overlooked Defense Stock Is About to Surge 50%

    By , Executive Producer, Money Morning -

    Too many investors are missing this opportunity because they don't have a tool that will help them detect their status as a "breakout stock."

    That's why I use the Money Morning Stock VQScore system. Our proprietary algorithm tracks thousands of profitable stocks and assigns each one a score.

    The VQScore ranges between 1 and 4.9. The higher the score, the more likely the stock will breakout in the months ahead.

You want to own stocks that can provide income and share price appreciation. You'll also want to tap into America's booming defense industry.

The Best Defense Stock to Buy as Tensions with Iran Build

By , Money Morning -

With tensions building between the U.S. and Iran, we went searching for the top defense stock to buy right now.

And we found just the one…

It has a strong balance sheet with just $2 billion in debt.

And its total debt to capital sits at just 29.4%, compared to an industry average of 68%.

The firm even pays a 2.13% dividend, which outpaces its rivals 1.9% average.

And its gross profit margins, operating profit margins, and net profit margins all outpace the industry average as well.

But the company’s standard financial metrics tell just half of the story of why it is a breakout stock with a very high VQScore.

As you’ll see, the firm is about to make major strides in the increased competition for Pentagon dollars…

Three Defense Stocks to Buy as Tensions in Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea Linger (One Could Double Your Money)

By , Money Morning -

While ongoing trade discussions between the U.S. and China dominate the headlines, the drumbeat of military action has intensified...

This week, the United States sent an aircraft carrier to the Middle East after reports of a planned attack on American forces by a Tehran-backed proxy group in Iran.

On Sunday, the Trump administration issued a surprise order to send the USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber task force in response to "troubling and escalatory indications and warnings."

Once again, military intervention is back in the headlines.

To find the best defense stocks to own right now, we use the Money Morning Stock VQScore™. This proprietary system tells us when stocks are about to break out to higher levels (and which to avoid in order to protect our capital).

Each stock receives a score. A score of 4 or higher puts the stock in our "Strong Buy Zone."

Today, we discuss three defense stocks to buy as tensions heat up around the globe...

Hypersonic Profit Potential in the New $717 Billion Defense Bill

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report -

Ever wish making money took... less money?

Wish granted.

President Trump just "greenlighted" the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act and a top-line military budget of $717 billion... $616.9 for the Pentagon's base budget, $69.0 billion for overseas contingency operations funding, and a $21.9 billion for nuclear weapons.

That's the single largest investment in our military that I can recall. Not surprisingly, it's also a massive investment opportunity that ties in neatly with one of the single most powerful Unstoppable Trends of our time: War, Terrorism and Ugliness.

We've talked about this extensively over the years, but this is so important that it merits repeating...

... Lining up your money with defense spending will be one of the single most profitable moves you can make in your investing lifetime.

... What's more, doing so plays a huge part in the difference between an investment account that makes money like crazy, and one that falls flat. Or, even worse, one that goes negative.

Case in point, defense-related companies I've recommended like Harris Corp. or Raytheon Co. have led readers in our paid sister services to remarkable profits of 100.81% and 205.19%, respectively... and counting!

The logic is very simple and very compelling...

Space Force

The media may be mocking President Trump's announcement of a new "Space Force," a sixth military branch equal to the Army, Navy, and Air Force, but this is no laughing matter.

This announcement will kick off a moneymaking frenzy for companies operating at the nexus of space and defense.

And one small aerospace stock could soar on a 1,000% spending surge...
