Prospects for growth in the price of shares of defense enterprises.

Another period of relative calm has ended, and the world is once again entering a period of escalation. Most countries are sharply increasing their defense budgets.
EU countries spend 219 billion on defense per year, which is quite an impressive amount even for Europe, and in 2017, most EU members will increase their military budgets by 15-20%.

The Baltic states are also trying to keep up with their colleagues; starting next year, the Baltic countries will increase military spending by 50%.

After this, the total cost will be $1.45 billion.
In the Asian region, China, which already spends a significant amount on military spending—$191 billion last year—has decided to go even further. China increased its military spending by 4% in 2017, bringing its total to $198 billion.

In addition, the military budgets of countries such as Ukraine, Russia, and India are growing rapidly.

The situation in global politics contributes to the growth of shares of enterprises in the military-industrial complex or companies closely associated with the defense industry.

Therefore, it's worth paying attention to the shares of companies like Boeing, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and EADS. After all, they experienced their greatest growth during periods of instability and increased government funding.

The trend is expected to continue at least until 2020, making it a great opportunity for long-term investors.
