Potential Takeover target

-0.55%

Aside from the idea that this is a good takeover target, it has value without any book deterioration to a strong balance sheet. I expect the street to revalue this better towards industry peers in the coming months.

FRPT has had a nice run up. I think it's time to take profits here and sell the stock. This will be for the next few days then you can think about getting back into the stock. Defense is a great sector to be in with a recession at hand. Good luck and remeber to use your stops.

FRPT is a buy! I think defense spending is going to increase and FRPTstands to gain from the spending. With all the indecision in the economy locally and internationally defense spending will increase in a recession to help stimulating the economy.

Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.  As is part of my blogging, I wanted to share with you a 'swap' I made out of my position in Haemonetics (HAE) and into Oshkosh (OSK). Both of these are mid cap stocks but that is where the similarity ends.

Spotlight on Aerospace / Defense Sector: 3 Investment Candidates
After a six-year run of improving performance, resulting in a composite industry share price performance approximately three times better than the S&P 500 Index, the U.S. aerospace and defense industry finds itself in transition and facing uncertainty and, perhaps, leaner times ahead. <>With core defense spending expected to slow, U.S. defense contractors need to identify additional revenue sources for the coming years. The near term should see some interesting merger and acquisition activity, mostly smaller deals by larger contractors to fill in capability gaps - particularly in the security...

So which companies didn’t file on time?
 Yesterday was a big deadline for 10-Ks. While the biggest companies were required to file their Ks two weeks ago, yesterday was the deadline for companies with market caps under $700 m. Among those who waited until the last minute were Martha Stewart (MSO) and Fortress (FIG).
<>But perhaps far more interesting is the list of companies that didn’t quite make it to the church of the SEC on time. According to a search, there were 55 companies that couldn’t get their filings in by yesterday afternoon. The reasons varied from being pretty solid (bankruptcy) to “dog ate my homework†like Vis<><><>< /><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...
