Check these out. These all trade below 2 times book value and have a Price to Earnings ratio above 1 but less than 15.

Then go here and determine NTBV.

That's Total Assets minus Total Liabilities, Goodwill, and Intangible assets, divided by shares outstanding. Then look at recent develpoments and make sure they are in a business that will directly benefit from defense spending. After that, take a look at the charts to see what is going on there. Stock picking is not easy and takes some work to find the best bet. And in the end, it is still just a bet, regardless of how much research you do. But if you follow these steps, you will reduce the risk somewhat. You should also ask these questions:

"Have they grown revenues over the last 4 quarters?"

and

"Have they grown earnings over the last 4 quarters?"

and

"Have they grown NTBV over the last 4 quarters?"

and

"Has the cash flow improved over the last 4 quarters?"

You should answer these questions before buying anything.
