There are a number of ways to play the recession / depression on the market that might seem, at first, counter-intuitive but on second glance make sense. Here's one -- Public Storage (NYSE: PSA), a REIT focused on ownership of public storage facilities.

Like the rest of the real estate market, it's been hammered -- down just over 52% from 52-week highs of $110 per share. But public / self storage facilities should actually prosper in this market. Here's why: People still have a lot of stuff, but many of them are going to have less house very soon. Same goes for businesses that are putting off plans to expand offices or rent warehouses and need a place to park things.

General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) logoLast week when I suggested keepiing an eye on General Dynamics in Chasing Value: French Toast at 35,000 feet: Gulfstream - General Dynamics (GD) I had no idea we would receive an eyeful so soon. However, reports out this morning indicate I was on to something as the Wall Street Journal reported:

  • General Dynamics Corp. posted a 25% rise in third-quarter net income, citing robust government defense spending and booming sales of business jets. It also raised its full-year outlook. General Dynamics, which makes Abrams tanks and Stryker troop carriers, two mainstays of U.S. ground forces in Iraq, reported net income of $546 million, or $1.34 a share, compared with $438 million, or $1.08 a share, a year earlier.

General Dyamnics during the quarter improved cash-flow, cash reserves, contracted back-log of work, profit margins and gave a positive outlook to top it all off.

One of the things that makes GD so strong going forward is that the United states war machine keeps finding new frontiers every time you might think that calm is in order. And speaking of orders, investors shoud keep in mind that even if the war in Iraq stopped today and by the wave of a magic wand we could bring the troops and equipment home right now, replenishing our military hardware that has been destroyed, damaged, or just plain worn out will cost billions. General Dynamics and the other defense contractors should do very well even in peace time.
