First-quarter defense company earnings should continue to be strong, as procurement and research and development outlay will increase by an estimated 7 percent.

We'd like to get the widest selection of content available. Having Michael involved in the company gives us incredible credibility, experience and knowledge, not to mention the contacts.

Do lots of research before you purchase any products over the Internet. Make sure that the company you purchase from has a telephone number and address listed on the site. Call and talk to a customer service representative or send the company an email and see how they respond. Look for a money back guarantee and don't be fooled by companies that offer a double-your-money-back guarantee. Check with BBB and other consumer sites to see if the company has had any negative reports filed against them.

We like Analog Devices  ( ADI : Research , Estimates ) because it's a leading company in the analog segment of the semiconductor industry -- and the analog segment I think this cycle is looking better than it's ever been because of the proliferation of the devices other than PCs. So Analog is riding on that curve. They're the fastest-growing analog company in the last several quarters, and it also has better margin than it ever had in its history, as a public company.
