I work for a major brokerage firm here in the US, and something interesting happened today. The markets are down, greatly in part to the tensions in the Middle East. Yet, while most everything is down, the defense sector is up. Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon, and others recorded new 52 week highs today. War is making the rich richer, go figure.
