Olin Corporation (OLN): Arms Manufacturers Benefit from Political Turmoil

Page 2 of 2

It is clear that 2013 has brought about tremendous growth in the arms manufacturing industry as manufacturers ride the tide of political turmoil. Due to the fact that each of these companies experienced an amazing past quarter, it is probably safe to assume that this wave of success will continue for at least the duration of the political discussion on gun reform in Washington D.C. With the exception of the unlikely event of a compromise being reached in Washington D.C., Olin Corporation (NYSE:OLN), Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SWHC), and Ruger will be worthwhile long term investments in 2013.
