Political and social change in the Middle East has rattled the oil market -- with crude nearing $100 per barrel, but when conditions on the ground stabilize, the global economic growth story will likely be intact, and that's a good reason to own diversified industrial giant General Electric Company (GE), first discussed on March 2, 2009, at a price of $13.80.

GE's stock has vectored above $20 this winter, pushing $22 before pulling back slightly, but I obviously still like the shares. Here's why:

The major revenue driver for Precision Castparts (NYSE: PCP) is up in the air, literally. Precision is a major maker of jet engine components, and although only modest growth is expected in the sector, due to moderating demand, PCP will benefit as production ramps-up in FY2010.

Therefore, I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Precision Castparts, first recommended on April 20, 2009 at a price of $61.92. If you purchased PCP at that time, you're up a nice 35%.

Readers of this space know that selected defense contractors are my preferred plays, growing U.S. economy or not. (But let's hope it's a growing U.S. economy). And the reason for the defense contractor bullishness is obvious enough. The geopolitical climate can change, of course, but it looks like defense, national security and anti-terrorism efforts will remain at the top of the U.S.'s concerns, for the foreseeable future.

Further, when one can combine a defense contractor with an industrial play, including commercial aviation, the potential exists for superior return on equity. And with the above in mind, United Technologies is worth a review.

United Technologies (NYSE: UTX) is one of those handful of stocks in which you can buy 200 shares or 50 shares for your child's college fund, and then look back on it in 10 years and be very glad you did.

Here are some attributes: Leadership position in high-value-add sectors, substantial defense contracts, infrastructure/capital improvement businesses, technological leadership, diversification and operational balance, economies of scale, massive amounts of engineering talent, long history of steady earnings growth and dividend growth. The Reuters F2008/F2009 EPS consensus estimates for UTX are $4.88/$5.45.

Bull market, or -- as has been the case recently -- not-so-bull-market, United Technologies (NYSE: UTX) remains an attractive play for all but the most conservative investors.

United Technologies is one of those handful of stocks where you can buy 200 shares or 50 shares for your child's college fund, then look back on it in 10 or 15 years and be very glad you did.

Here are some of UTX's more impressive attributes: leadership position in high-value-added sectors, substantial defense contracts, infrastructure/capital improvement businesses, technological leadership, diversification & operational balance, economies of scale, massive amounts of engineering talent, long history of steady earnings growth and dividend growth. The Reuters F2007/F2008 EPS consensus estimates for UTX are $4.26-4.85.

As all of China begins to gear up towards the 2008 Olympics, China Southern Airlines recently placed a quarter-billion dollar order with GE Aviation.

China Southern Airlines is expanding both its domestic and its international routes. It has signed financing and maintenance agreements with GE Aviation's OnPoint program for the purchase of the next generation of jet engines currently under development by GE Aviation.

China Southern Airlines already has 10 Boeing 787 wide-body Dreamliner aircrafts on order. The latest-generation technology jet engines from GE will be used to power the new 787s. GE Aviation has orders for more than 600 of the GEnx engines from both military and commercial customers. China Southern Airlines hopes to begin delivey of the newly equipped 787s in early 2008, in time for use during the Olympics.
