-- -- much.

Guns are worth more that gold and hard times call for hard to find stocks that's the strategy.

-- Anderson.

-- understand we're talking about gun gun under sun capital management founder president.

Bill -- he's joining us now -- -- -- business exclusively -- it got the perfect name your bill thank you for being here effect.

But but but not take you for having me is -- of course what we're talking about a hard time investments.

That bring you big time money and guns of all things -- talk about this.

Well you know were at an economy that still is very very difficult.

-- -- we hear that unemployment is eight point 6% but in reality it's fifteen point 6%.

You know only the government can spend fifteen point six down to eight point six you know this kind of economy people tend to horror -- Things like ammunition and -- guns and canned food and they shop at dollar tree.

And I think you know that's -- the kind of economy it's not something to be proud of but that's the kind of economy that weren't right.

Now piano iPod product -- of beef around me because I was scared I mean who wouldn't right -- -- -- you're looking at all of the things -- what are we gonna do but then.

As you -- gun permits for example we started to look into this.

Gun permits over the past year have skyrocketed so people obviously are.

Buying work on -- you could figure why don't I invest in gun companies and there's one that has not just on well.

It's blown.

A lot of other investments specifically we picked goal to compare to because.

Not not just one year.

But three years five years this gun company has outperformed gold and we should remind people still -- smaller company it's a smaller cap company but let's talk about this company is called Sturm Ruger.

-- that's right they're headquartered -- in Connecticut.

Over the last year Sturm Ruger is up 125.

-- that.

For investors.

Over the last three year or since Obama's -- and office the stock is averaged 78%.

Per year.

While the markets averaged about 11%.

Per year.

Add as far as I know the stock still up about 6% this year as of yesterday it was breaking out to new highs once again.

-- look at this it's unbelievable how well this company is -- up a 138%.

Over the past year.

Other other gun companies I mean that the big one that everybody would talk about -- and that is.

If you look at some of these names and you figure why not Smith & Wesson that's the one that most people have heard -- not storm -- I likes that that was until it's a four dollar us stock just over four.

It's been headed straight up here about the last four weeks but I think there's other areas in this hard times economy besides guns.

A that you can also invest -- worse yelled like for example.

As we've talked about some of the discounters and and your pick in that realm of their quite a few names is dollar tree -- that -- I -- dollar tree you know yeah I heard you talking about some of these discount retailers a little bit earlier.

My favorite has been dollar tree for a long time.

That stock is doubt doubled for me I wrote an article recently I think the stock -- double again.

I really like Tractor Supply to I have the CEO on my radio show recently that as a well run company.

And they cater to the people that are now raising goats to -- to it so they can milk -- -- if you could go in there and by big step -- she could pick up chicks actually that Tractor Supply.

I had a lot of people are doing that right now on this hard times economy.

-- now my friend Darren in Atlanta and we grew up in Beverly Hills together she -- chickens.

She now it's chicken so this is fascinating to hear the continued just tell us a little bit more about Tractor Supply there it is on the screen TF -- -- Yeah absolutely they're headquartered out of Tennessee.

The CEO is Jim -- I think over the last ten years the stocks to average about 40% per year.

It's a good alternative smaller company.

When you compare to what like Lowe's and home.

Tractor Supply okay and then I just wanna quickly mention AutoZone because auto parts you've talked about two so these are again not the Tiffany's of the world but.

Tractor parts -- guns and now auto parts.

You know it's also would do it yourself -- -- -- yeah it's -- it's also -- -- -- the economy.

Stocks like -- the center Pier 1 Imports.

AutoZone all Reilly automotive instead of getting -- -- -- -- these days.

Folks are going -- and buying Andrew muffler instead for the old jalopy.

Bill thank you for sharing your stock picks with us and by the way -- written a book called best stocks now he's the author of that's a check it out -- -- to redo it every single year -- I'm -- things change but thank you so much it's good to see you.

Thank you for having me lives built under some of other -- -- we're putting this segment together and and it was not lost.

Aren't we here at fox business and our team at 3 o'clock that these hard times stocks.

All seem to have their own reality TV shows past and present gold rush for example we're talking about gold.
