Jim:
There was an
editorial in today's
Wall Street
Journal... page
A15... questioning
whether or not Obama
would - as the
author put it - "gut
defense spending"...
Now, I can't predict
the future, but I do
think there's one
defense company that
works, no matter who
gets elected
president... but
would really thrive
under Obama, and
that's...
AeroVironment, Inc. (AVAV)...

Tuesday,
October 28, 2008
(Cont'd from
above)...
This company
makes small,
un-manned aerial
vehicles, or
UAVs...
We first talked
about it on
January 19th of
2007...
[see complete
description and
recommendation
from that show
here... ]
before its IPO,
where it closed
at $23.93, and
then we
reiterated our
support for this
stock on March
8th of 2007,
because it
dropped down...
to $21.43.
Even with the
big pullback,
the stock is up
around 40% from
our
reiteration...
You know most
stocks cannot do
well in this
environment. I
think this could
keep going
higher,
especially if
Obama wins...
Why? Because,
while Obama
might not
support all
defense
spending, he
supports
unmanned aerial
vehicles. Don't
take my word for
it. I want you
to check out his
website, where
he calls for
greater
investment in
advanced
technology, like
unmanned aerial
vehicles...
I don't think
Obama is as
bearish for
defense as he
may seem, but
even if he is,
AVAV is the
defense stock
that works with
a President
Obama...
Now, it's a
little $580
million company.
It's got a clean
balance sheet,
with no debt.
And, unlike a
lot of the
defense
contractors,
we're not
worried about
the pension
plan... $112
million in
cash... but I
want to know how
AVAV stays
competitive, and
what the future
looks like for
the company...
So I'm bringing
on Tim Conver.
He's
AeroVironment, Inc. (AVAV)'s
CEO. Mr. Conver,
welcome to Mad
Money...
Jim's comments
AFTER the interview:
Okay guys,
listen... this
is really
important... I
cannot stress
this enough... I
only have a
handful of
stocks, now that
oil's come
down... I have a
handful of
stocks that I am
confident can
rally... if
Obama's elected.
I think you
should buy this
one. I think it
jumps very
quickly after an
Obama election.
This is it
though guys...
there are just
not a lot of
plays on an
Obama
presidency, but
this particular
stock makes all
the sense in the
world.
