4 Defense Stocks Poised for Huge Upside

Companies in the defense sector have navigated choppy seas over the past 18 months as a federal government drowning in red ink sought its lifeboat in massive military spending cuts. Defense Secretary Robert Gates fired a shot across the industry's bow last May when he said the defense spending spigot that was opened wide after 9/11 "has been turned off and will stay off for a good period of time."  The net result of those actions was to drive shares of many major defense firms to their 52-week lows last fall.    But a tidal wave of political unrest in the Middle East that culminated in military operations against Libya last week clearly demonstrates why the era of big military spending is not yet over.  And that's good news for defense companies that are positioned to turn the current bounce into better earnings. So if the U.S. is destined play the role of global policeman, having the right tools for the right job is imperative.  Because defense sector stocks have slipped a lot as the engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq wound down, several names are undervalued. Here are four U.S. defense stocks that are poised to move now: Raytheon (NYSE: RTN ): All those Tomahawk cruise missiles lighting up the skies over Libya are made by Raytheon – and the U.S. Navy lit off 124 of the missiles (at more than $1 million a pop) to take out anti-aircraft defenses and surface-to-air missile batteries.  Raytheon produces SAM missile batteries of its own, too – most notably the Patriot system. The company also has expertise in electronics — a hot area for military and homeland security development and upgrades.  While just a drop in the bucket, the company's $1.9 million award to secure military Internet communications last week signals a potentially huge area of future development in information infrastructure security.  Raytheon is up 62 cents, or 1.2%, over the past week, closing at $50.39 on Tuesday. General Dynamics (NYSE: GD ): Known for high-profile marine and combat systems like the Los Angeles-class attack submarine and the M1 Series Abrams battle tank, more than one-third of General Dynamics' revenue comes from information systems and technology.  On Wednesday, the company announced a $41.4 million deal from the Marine Corps to upgrade vehicles for mine and ambush protection.  Earlier this month, the Defense Intelligence Agency awarded GD a five-year, $40 million contract to manage its enterprise services help desk. The company's shares have risen more than 3% over the past week to close at $76.04 on Tuesday. Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC ): The diversified defense-aerospace giant has had a lot of news coverage this past week — its Global Hawk drone flew over Japan to provide imagery in the current disaster and the christening of its new amphibious transport ship Arlington is scheduled for Saturday.  But the biggest upside in an era of defense downsizing may be in its information technology business.  The company bagged a $1.1 billion follow-on deal this week to operate and upgrade the Homeland Security Dept.'s classified networks.  The U.S. Air Force also tapped the company for a $26 million contract to enhance automated mission planning capabilities on the B-1 bomber.  Northrop Grumman is up nearly 5% over the past week, closing at $67.98 on Tuesday. Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ): Lockheed Martin is well-positioned to reap the rewards from defense R&D as well as deployment.  It's looking more likely that the Navy will be the lead service in charge of developing a system to protect the U.S. and its allies from the launch of ballistic missiles from rogue states like Iran.  Lockheed Martin's ship-based Aegis combat system has been upgraded to intercept a wide range of ballistic missile types under development.  The Navy also awarded the company a $376 million contract this week to construct the second Littoral Combat Ship.  Over the past week, Lockheed Martin shares have risen 3.7% to close at $81.30 on Tuesday. As of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the stocks named here.

Afternoon Updates For 3/23/11

Finally! It appears some COOL shorts starting to give up here. After testing key support at $2.20 around 11:30 am EST this morning, COOL has been making one higher low after another. Without any news here, I am led to believe it’s shorts tossing in the towel after it held the $2.20 range. Honestly, I’d had hoped the company would have news by now so the fact that it’s bouncing without news is a very good sign. I still have all 7,500 shares at an average of $2.41 and continue to look for 20% on COOL in the short term. I added CHTL last week at $.187 and it continues to play very nicely. Already up 23%, but I think there is more to be had based on all the accumulation in the $.22 range. I have 36,000 shares there between two accounts and will probably put an order in here to sell at $.25 soon. And finally FASV, which is testing my patience to say the least! Added yesterday at $1.11, I was expecting more volume today. As of right now, I’ve decided to give it another day or two. Not my favorite thing to do but if it runs anything like ALZM or UTOG I’ll be ticked I missed it. I’m holding 5,000 shares with a mental stop at $1.00.

TODAY’S STOCK MARKET DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES March 23rd, 2011 Week’s Overview Stock Futures

After three consecutive days of trending green, the major index composites
finished yesterdays session in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was
lower by .11 percent at 12,023.89. The political unrest in the Middle Eastern
parts of the world paired with growing anxieties relating to the nuclear crisis
in Japan and the violence in Libya are pushing oil prices higher once again and
index trending lower. Today, during the U.S. session, the Census Bureau will
report on new home sales for February. Economists are not expecting this report
to post positive results. The negative trend in the housing sector is expected
to continue. On Thursday, a durable goods order report for February will post
via the Commerce Department. This report is expected to post positive and
continue the upward trend observed in the manufacturing sector. Information on
first time jobless claims is scheduled as well. This report is expected to be
little changed from the last reading. On Friday, the University of Michigan
Consumer Sentiment Index will post. The index will give an indication of
consumer sentiment across America. In addition to this report, the Commerce
Department will report on the progression of our economy during the fourth
quarter. Fourth quarter U.S. gross domestic product data will post this day and
it is not anticipated that it will change much from the last reading. Quarterly
earnings reports will drop throughout the week and economists look for these to
help support economic stabilization efforts. Prior to opening bell today, market
tracking reveals that stock futures are posting mixed. The Dow Jones and S&P 500
are posting green and the Nasdaq is still red. Stocks slipped yesterday as
investors continued to process problems in the Middle East and Japan. Author:

Amgen, SanDisk Draw Option Traders

Option trading investors are watching the action in Amgen and SanDisk. The drug
maker Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN ) has been dropping but one trader remains bullish.
The AMGN January 2013 option contracts are leading the activity: Blocks of 4,540
each of the 50 puts and 60 calls trade, both well above open interest.
OptionMONSTER's Heat Seeker tracking program shows the trader bought 4,200 of
the calls for $3.87 and sold the same number of the puts for $5.92 at the same
time. It resulted in a credit of $2.05, which will be kept if AMGN remains
between the strikes. Above $60, he or she will make money. They face losses
below $50, so the position is similar to owning shares. Overall AMGN options
volume is about twice the average level so far today. AMGN fell 0.59 to $52.47
in morning trading. It peaked at high as $54.70 last week. Find more option
analysis and trading ideas at Option Trading Strategies . SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK
) has been in a steep decline for the last month, and one trader is looking for
more of the same. SNDK closed yesterday at $42.90, down 1.36%. The maker of
computer-memory chips has fallen from above $53 in February but is holding its
ground above last week's lows. Leading the options volume this morning is SNDK
July 37 Puts . OptionMONSTERs Depth Charge tracking system shows 2,500 contracts
were bought for $1.79 and another 250 for $1.83 as the underlying price fell.
This volume is almost three times the previous open interest, so these were new
opening positions. Between these two options trades we see two large blocks of
stock going off with 33,900 bought for $43.22 and another 60,000 bought for
$43.27. It is highly probable that the puts were bought against long stock,
creating a long volatility position that can potentially profit if shares rise
or fall, as long as the move is great enough that the realized volatility is
greater than the implied volatility of the options. optionMONSTER ® provides
stock market insight, option trade ideas, and options education to meet the
