PARTIAL BUY
Choice for drones.
Defense/military technology. Lots of drones for Ukraine and Israel. Price popped when Trump demanded countries increase military spending. Price target of $940 -- buy 1/3 here ~$833, again at $810, and then $760.

TOP PICK
One-stop shop when it comes to defense and military technology. Around since 1966. Market cap of $10B. Reported this morning, and now up 5-6%. Yield is 0.53%.
Note that all his Top Picks today aren't in nosebleed territory, but they're very popular. So you really need to go in by thirds. You can buy some today, but save 2/3 to make purchases later. For this name, buy 1/3 here at $461, at $425, and again at $405.

BUY
Has held for about 10 years. It is Israel's largest defense contractor. It is a leader in electronics, night vision, virtual augmented and reality, lasers, high energy weapons,etc. Has many products for the Israeli navy and possibly for world navies. Defense spending has generally been losing ground but it is now considered mandatory.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 02/19, Down 13%) They make defence electronics and a strong performer since their last acquisition. He's holding this long term. A headwind is the market moving towards cyclical businesses instead of defence stocks. But ESLT still has strong long-term prospects.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 27/19, Down 13%) Still likes it. A big player in cyber warfare, drones, AR and VR (defence electronics). Excellent managers. Just bought a night vision systems company. Well positioned in all part of the fastest-growing parts of the defense industry.

TOP PICK
Israel's largest defensive publicly traded contractor. Largely electronics and are within the mid-cycle of defense spending. The largest producer of drones. They make a "re-drone" system that would have safeguarded Saudi oil facilities as it allows for control to be taken over drones to land them safely. Yield 1.09% (Analysts’ price target is $153.67)

TOP PICK
The world's biggest producer of military drones, so there's a big renewal for them now. They're also a big maker of night vision systems, and bought a competitor to reduce this space to only two players. 20-30% of their sales in 2018 were in cyber warfare. (Analysts’ price target is $141.24)

TOP PICK
We are still in an up-cycle in defense spending. They have high exposure to Israel, the fastest growing economy in the world. They are a leader in drones and electronic warfare. They completed several acquisitions. They have had good contract announcements recently. (Analysts’ price target is $51399.00)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 03/18, Down 7%) It is in the defense business. It is a company he really likes and is a really long term holding. They are the largest producer in the world of drones. They have strong prospects.

The world's largest producer of drones. They have the broadest product line, and the average drone globally is about 7 years old. They’re also the leader in software defined radios. They have a duopoly in fire controlled systems. About a 3rd of sales are in cyber warfare, both offensive and defensive.
