Smart Stocks Investing

One of the fun parts about looking for profitable stocks is that you come across industries that you never knew existed. For example, there are two publicly traded companies— GeoEye (GEOY) and DigitalGlobe (DGI)—that operate in the field of providing satellite images for customers. Think Google (GOOG) Earth.

This is an appealing business because it has many applications from oil and gas to disaster rescue and government intelligence. What strikes me is that this could be a great business model as the entry costs are high (getting a satellite up there) and the variables costs are low (click!).
