Takeaway: We are adding LMT to the long side today.

"I'm on the road with General Emo Gardner today in San Francisco, CA," Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough writes today. "The takeaway on Defense Spending is crystal clear. It's going up, from here (potentially up a lot)."

On Lockheed Martin (LMT), McCullough adds:

"Lockheed is down more than -2% this morning post earnings guidance that 'disappointed' the Old Wall. In the immediate-term that presents an oversold signal. Longer-term, buying LMT at the low-end of the risk range should continue to pay off. As usual, LMT's guidance is now officially conservative."
