The mid-term elections likely going against President Trump and the GOP is the biggest reason Richard Safran sees behind the U.S. defense stock slump seen in Northrop Grumman (NOC) and RTX Corp. (RTX) among others.

Tom White offers an example options trade for Northrop Grumman. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
