Article Abstract:
Increased defense spending initiatives may boost the fortunes of US aerospace and defense companies, but the industry's commercial sector will continue to face difficulties. Fierce competition in the airliner construction market between Boeing Co and Airbus Industries is likely to remain in the doldrums over the near term. Investors are cautioned to focus their investments on those that are ranked 1 or 2 for Timeleliness.
