there’s still a very nice range of plays across the energy sector, in both traditional and newer categories of power production, support, and service.

But given the marked increase in geopolitical crises and their impact on the availability, security, and pricing of energy, I added the following last Thursday:

It’s for all of these reasons that I’ve been bringing subscribers of all my services into cross-over investment plays that bridge energy hot spots and military/defense stocks.

Well, that certainly generated some interest from many of you, wanting to know more.

Now, I don’t usually divulge investment picks here.

But this time, it makes sense to convey this new dimension to energy investing.

That’s why today, I’m releasing the names of the three best investment plays that bridge energy and defense…

These are Plays on the Three Most Pressing Global Hotspots

The companies you’re about to see run from very large providers of military and defense contracts in energy hotspots, to very small firms with an inside track on niche areas.

They come from my premium services, where members have already captured double-digit gains on all of them.

And today, it’s your turn.

All these plays share a connection between weapons systems or readiness on the one hand, and the defense of energy hotspots globally.

They cover three of the most pressing military needs to deter foreign adversaries’ attempted advances on strategic global energy resources and flashpoints. Each one provides a unique and essential solution to a crucial security concern.

Let me show you…

Energy and Defense Play #1: Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC)

Our first pick today is major defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp.(NOC). Northrup is well-known for highly visible, revolutionary, such as the Apollo Lunar Module and the B-2 stealth bomber.

For a breakthrough that may be the most important piece of military technology in years.
