The big thread full of stock picks

[Pauls' Revere]

Other than Rand Paul, is there any candidate on either side of the aisle, who isn't calling for war. I would suspect leading up to the next election, the safer bets of market pics would be:

Lockheed Martin Corporation
The Boeing Company
Raytheon Company
General Dynamics Corporation
Bechtel Group Inc.

Each of these companies maintain government contracts, and would greatly profit from war.

and don't forget Huntington Ingalls.

General Dynamics just got a bid for a Bazillion dollar ship the Navy didn't even ask for.

Chalk up another win for the lobbyists -- and get ready to write a $4 billion check, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer. Because the U.S. Navy is about to get two new warships -- that it didn't even ask for.

On Dec. 4, military shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls won a $200 million award to begin purchases of long-lead parts needed to build a new San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, to be designated "LPD 28." The "undefinitized" award, whose ultimate cost remains to be seen, is likely to rise as high as $2 billion over the course of the warship's construction, the Navy has said. And because of a quirk in how the Navy builds its ships, that won't be the end of the spending.

Under the terms of a 13-year-old agreement among the Navy, Huntington Ingalls, and rival shipbuilder General Dynamics , whenever one of these contractors wins a shipbuilding contract, the Navy awards another contract of roughly equal value to its rival. Construction of LPD 28 will round out the originally planned fleet of 12 San Antonio-class ships that the Navy had envisioned, however. So instead of an LPD, the Navy has elected to award a contract to General Dynamics to build another Arleigh Burke-class destroyer -- valued roughly equally at $1.9 billion -- instead.

(This destroyer contract, however, has yet to be authorized and funded by Congress).
