MAGAZINE ALERT
Saturday 02 September 2017 | | | | THE E-MAGAZINE ESPECIALLY CREATED FOR INVESTORS AND TRADERS | | | | Dear Reader,
Welcome to the September edition of Master Investor Magazine. Once again we have an exciting line-up of content from our stable of high calibre contributors, all of whom are seasoned investors/traders in their own right.
Total military expenditure as a percentage of global GDP has been in steady decline over the last 60 years or so. It fell from just over 6 percent in 1960 to 2.225 percent in 2016.
That could be about to change.
The absolute amount of money spent on soldiers, sailors, airmen and their increasingly technologically sophisticated kit has never been so high. Defence, in its many forms, is a colossal global industry.
Modern weapons systems are so sophisticated and draw on the full range of advanced technologies – from nanotechnology to artificial intelligence – that only a relatively small number of global suppliers can deliver the requisite top-of-the-range goods.
Sophisticated investors need to know who those defence contractors are.
