Buying Stocks to Support the Companies That Support Your Opinions Lesson 104

  "Sixteen bodies are found within 24 hours in the Mexican city of Tijuana, in what police say is part of a spate of drug-related killings".

  "Mexican officials say drug-related killings in the country have soared by 50 percent this year, with many recent deaths bunched along the U.S. border".

  "A news report that open-borders advocates would prefer that you not see. The Mexican Drug Cartel is now operating with relative impunity on both sides of the Mexican border."

  "El Monte residents paid tribute today (Jan.01, 2010) to a 33-year old school board member who was abducted and killed in Mexico".

  These are headlines in the papers and online, that tell of killings, kidnappings, and drugs that kill many others, and the huge amount of work that law enforcement has in front of them. Many times we wish to do something, but we as individuals feel there is nothing we are able to do to effect change.

  Buying and supporting the companies (stocks) that supply law enforcement with the tools to combat the enemy, is important to those that need and use the equipment. When we buy a companies stock, the money invested gives companies the capital to continue with research and development for new and better products. When we invest in the companies that support the direction we wish to see our world move into, we get a sense of helping to combat the problem.

  These companies I mention are not to promote them in any way as an investment. You need to decide that for yourself, but I only wish to indicate that by your action in investments you can help to make a difference in our future.

  Most people have heard of Smith & Wesson, ticker symbol (SWHC). This company supplies police almost everywhere with the firearms needed to perform their job. Today this company is the world's largest manufacture of handcuffs, and at some time or another, every military agency has used and depended on the products of this company.

  DuPont, ticker symbol (DD)
 
  DuPont does many things for the improvement of our lives. DuPont created a fabric that was intended to be used for tires, but was found to be effectivce in bulletproof vests. This product (Kevlar) is credited with saving the lives of more than 3000 law enforcement officers. DuPont also produces health care, medical, and electronics, enabling the manufacture of advanced OLED, LCD, and PDP displays and more.

  SELEX Galileo Inc. ticker symbol (FNC.MI)

  This company provides products to our government to support our military, and our border protection units. Mobil ground surveillance units of variors forms, are able to patrol coastal or rough terrain with all-terrain vehicles. SELEX can also be mounted on fixed based structures.

  SELEX has a radar contract with the U.S. Coast Guard, the Vixen 500E Radar integration for the US Customs and Border protection. This electronic equipment can be integrated into unmanned aerial border surveillance aircraft.

  I don't own any of the companies mentioned in this blog. There are many other companies here in the United States that in some form contribute to the protection of our nation's boarders and its people. Companies that manufacture computers and its components, aircraft manufactures, or the equipment that is needed to do a particular operation on the aircraft, are worth a look. The companies that produce fuels, lubricants, electronic components, batteries or equipment to protect those that are protecting us, need our financial support. Buying a part of a company (stock) that has meaning to you, and supports what you believe in, is how you are making a difference to all of us.
