Hot High Tech Stocks To Buy For 2014

LONDON -- According to weekend newspaper reports, Sir Roger Carr -- currently chairman of�Centrica�-- is being lined up as the next chairman of�BAE Systems� (LSE: BA  ) (NASDAQOTH: BAESY  ) . If true, it will be another good reason to hold the high-yielding shares.

The current incumbent, Dick Olver, is expected to step down this year, with more than a little push from shareholders after BAE's plan to merger with Airbus manufacturer�EADS�fell apart. Fund manager�Neil Woodford�of Invesco Perpetual, BAE's largest shareholder with 13%, campaigned for Olver to go and is said to support Sir Roger's candidature.

What will this mean for BAE investors? I make three predictions.

Confidence and clarity
Sir Roger is an eminent City grandee, currently president of the Confederation of British Industry and deputy chairman of the Bank of England. He is outspoken, on topics such as U.K. energy policy, the U.K.'s role in Europe and executive pay, so BAE will have a louder and more confident public voice than recently. That should embolden management to take proactive measures to address the company's weak markets, too. Olver and CEO Ian King are damaged goods in the wake of the EADS debacle.
