...He knows what he's doing. I think we'll just see a very good team being formed here that will carry on with what Debbie Hopkins started. We have a 'buy' on it. We feel that it was a good move to get this over with quickly. We've always had the utmost regard for Mike Sears. |
After the huge orders that were placed in December, I think it's quite reasonable to expect that there would be a shortage of them in January. |
All the defense companies -- with very few exceptions -- have been doing extremely well with mostly double-digit earnings growth. And it's not just the military side, it's the commercial side as well. We're in the early stages of a maybe five-year up cycle. |
Any time you have people that you don't need, you're going to lose money, ... I suspect they're adjusting their workforce to the work they do. If they don't, they can't survive. |

I think both will be strong reports. The whole defense group, barring some negative surprises, will be doing very well. |
