I am looking for a mutual fund or ETF that primarily invests in the
defense industry. The only one I found was FSDAX. They have a lot of fees.
Anyone know of other similar funds?

Thanks.

Great! Just in time to short it.

Defense stocks have had their runup. Bush got his missile-defense
program. The only way the defense industry can go now is down.

The best time to invest in defense stocks is *before* any military
buildup. Such as the mid 1970's and mid 1990's.

In time to short or long, as the case may be!

Good luck with your short position. I think shorting stocks is a losing
game.

Yes, if stocks can go only up all the time your thinking is logical.
Otherwise it's illogical.

I've shorted many times & made money. I know others who have too.
