Now, I recognize that Lockheed Martin can be categorized into other sectors besides military and aircraft, such as green technology. But I'm focused on it because of a view I've been alerted to, that the military sector may be one of the next bubbles (steel being the other). So if we're looking to be long the next bubbles, LMT may be one component if it can hold these trendlines.*Update: Wikinvest has a category for Aerospace & Defense, showing additional names in this sector (and that they all did well on Friday, definitely bullish when comparing against the general markets which declined on Friday). By the way, remember that I'm really focused on defense as such - I'm not putting out any opinions on the aerospace sector as such. Here's the info Wikinvest shows - looks like some of these companies did even better than LMT that day:
Top Companies (by Market Cap) - Aerospace & Defense industry
Symbol........Mkt Cap...Price..........% Change
LMT...........31.4B..........78.47..........(1.41%)
BA.............29.4B..........40.48..........(1.56%)
HON...........24B.............33.06..........(3.73%)
GD............21.2B..........54.49..........(1.23%)
BAESY.......19.8B..........22.48..........(1.17%)
RTN..........19.4B..........46.74..........(0.21%)
NOC..........15.4B..........47.19..........(1.79%)
Given my focus, I think the companies I should track in charting are Lockheed Martin (LMT), United Technologies (UTX), and Northrop Grumman (NOC). Since we already looked at LMT in more detail above, here's just a quick look at how NOC and UTX look on their charts:
