EADS was formerly funding Assad. BAE systems supplies to everyone. The British r far better than U.S, based companies but Congress uses fraud and corruption allegations to stop BAE doing far better than the poor weapon manufacturers in the States. Other than Northrop, none of the others r worth any dollar at all IMHO.
The US market fall was only slightly due to the Paris attacks, Nordstrom earnings were pathetic and I would not be surprised if the markets recovered this week.
