Aerospace/Defense ETFs Back in Vogue, But Caution Warranted (5 minute read)
With the ongoing Gaza Strip conflict and Russia's Ukraine invasion entering its third year (can you believe it?), it seems aerospace and defense stocks are having their moment in the sun again. The Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index, our trusty war indicator, has been on a 6.37% joyride in the past week.

When global tensions rise, we tend to see people flocking to defense stocks like they're the latest Black Friday deal. It makes sense, right? But, hang on a sec! Before you rush in like it's a buffet at your favorite all-you-can-eat joint, remember that markets can be a bit like your favorite TV show spoilers – once the news is out there, it's not as thrilling anymore.

According to a study by Atticus, which, by the way, isn't a Roman philosopher but a law firm (go figure), the average American says they'd need around $74,688 a year to hit the "I'm financially secure" button. They asked about a thousand folks across the good ol' U.S. of A., quizzing them about all things financial and how it impacts their chill levels. So, folks, when in doubt, aim for the 75K mark
