Good morning. From rising tensions between China and Taiwan to a second year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical risks are rising. Most importantly, countries are increasing their defense spending to deal with threats, whether imagined or real. That's caused global military spending to hit a record high of $2.24 trillion last year. That's a 3.7 percent rise globally, with areas such as Europe seeing a higher jump of 13 percent.

Today's TOP TIPS Inflation and a Slowing Economy Make This Defensive Stock a Winner A great company can overcome any economic challenge. To be a great company, it's necessary to have pricing power. That means avoiding having to cut prices during a slow period. And it means when inflation is running hot, prices can be raised over and above. Such companies are few and far between. But harnessing the power of a brand during a slow or sideways market can help lead to great returns over time, both from capital gains, and from growing dividend income. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: Riley Exploration Permian (REPX) Gerald Libin, a major holder of Riley Exploration Permian (REPX), recently added 3,000 shares.
