    • McCain ETFs: What If the 'Maverick' Pulls It Off? [view article]
      The Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) should benefit as well perhaps more so. ITA has a heavier concentration in commercial aerospace whereas PPA is shifted toward defense and security. Sep 25 10:17 AM

      MYP has little to do with the aerospace and defense sector. There are a lot of stocks involved with biotech, computer software, etc. all with a "security" theme. Aug 11 10:29 AM
    • Play Defense With iShares US Aerospace & Defense ETF [view article]
      There is an ETF that follows a better index - the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) tracks the SPADE Defense Index. It offers more diversification, is not as heavily weighted toward commercial aviation, and includes all of the mid-cap companies that would benefit in a recapitalization and the vision of 21st century force. Companies involved with network centric warfare, sensors, armor, battlespace visualization, information technology, etc. led the sector rise in the early to mid-2000s but have lagged in recent years as funding was shifted toward Iraq. The premise that the 8-year run in the defense sector is not finished, is likely true. Feb 25 09:46 AM
