I’ve never seen anything like this in my trading career.
The government just handed us the easiest playbook I’ve ever seen – and most people are completely missing it.
Every single time they announce an equity stake in a company, we’re watching stocks explode 50%, 100%, even 200% in a matter of days.
This isn’t your grandfather’s government intervention. They’re no longer bailing out companies. They’re making traders rich, and they’re having fun doing it.
The Pattern That Changed Everything
It started back in August when they announced a 10% equity stake in Intel. Intel was trading just under $25 that day. Since that announcement? The stock’s up almost 47%.
Then came MP Materials in July – another 10% government stake. That stock’s been a monster, up almost 70% since the announcement. We actually traded this one in the war room and made 23% in like 10 minutes. No joke.
But here’s where it gets crazy: Trilogy Metals. Small rare earth company, ticker TMC. Government takes a 10% stake and boom – over 200% move. Two hundred percent. On government news.
Lithium Americas, same story – 20% pop on the announcement.
Look, I’ve been trading for years and I’ve never seen such a clear, repeatable pattern. The government announces a stake, the stock goes to the moon. It’s that simple.
Why Defense is Next (And How to Play It)
Here’s what really got my attention: Howard Lutnick basically handed over the playbook when he said Lockheed Martin is “basically an arm of the US government” because they get all their revenue from the government anyway.
Think about that. If they’re already viewing Lockheed as a governmental asset, why not just own it? We’re giving them all the money anyway.
But here’s my problem – and maybe yours too. Lockheed’s $500 a share. How do you choose between Lockheed, RTX (which we already own), Boeing, L3 Harris, General Dynamics? It’s impossible to pick which one gets chosen next.
That’s why I’m not even trying.
The 3X Solution Nobody’s Talking About
Instead of gambling on individual defense stocks, I found something better: DFEN. It’s a 3X leveraged play on the entire defense and aerospace sector.
When you own DFEN, you get everything: GE Aerospace, RTX, Boeing, L3 Harris, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics – all of them, with 3X leverage.
Here’s why this is brilliant: When the next announcement hits Boeing or Lockheed or any of these companies, I don’t have to be right about which specific one. A rising tide lifts all boats, and with DFEN, I’m positioned for all of them.
If Oracle can move from $200 to $320 in one trading session (and that happened just a few weeks ago), imagine what happens to defense stocks when this playbook hits their sector.
What I Revealed Yesterday
During yesterday’s Catalyst Cashouts livestream, I walked everyone through this entire playbook and recommended DFEN. The government is clearly enjoying this – they see the stocks go up, they think they’re making money, so they keep doing it. And Lutnick basically admitted defense is on their radar.
The beauty of DFEN is that you get 3X leverage without options and expiration dates. If defense moves up 1%, DFEN moves up 3%. And when that announcement hits, we’re talking about much bigger moves than 1%.
I’m not trying to time the perfect entry or pick the perfect stock. I’m positioning for what I see as inevitable.
YOUR ACTION PLAN
Karim and I are going live on October 22nd to reveal our complete list of companies we think could be next for government stakes.
We’re putting together our research right now, and honestly, some of these names are going to surprise you.
But defense feels like the most obvious next move.
The pattern is clear, the setup is there, and I’d rather be early than miss it entirely.
That’s why I recommended DFEN yesterday during our livestream. Because when this playbook hits defense, I want everyone positioned for all of it.
