"Make American Steel Great Again" - Profit from Trump's Industrial Revival

Trump Quote

Here's the opportunity most investors are missing:

  • This stock soared to $45 during Trump's first term
  • It's now available at less than $12 (a 75% discount!)
  • Average analyst targets suggest 77% upside in TIMEFRAME… and it could go much higher from there.

The media elites completely missed what Trump is doing with his tariff strategy...

He's not just creating chaos—he's rebuilding America's industrial backbone.

At the heart of this resurgence is steel production. And you can't make premium steel without high-quality metallurgical coal.

While Germany struggles with low-quality coal, America is blessed with huge reserves of premium, high-grade coal—exactly what's needed to produce the top-quality steel that gives our country a competitive edge.

One powerhouse, [REDACTED], operates 17 facilities across seven states, producing an astonishing 115 million tons of coal in 2024 alone.

When Trump's policies fully kick in, America's premium metallurgical coal producers will be at the forefront of the "Make American Steel Great Again" movement.

WATCH NOW >>

President Trump's unexpected appearance at US Steel's Pennsylvania facility Friday delivered more than campaign theater—it triggered an immediate market realignment that sent steel stocks soaring and created ripple effects across multiple sectors. The president's approval of Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion acquisition, coupled with an announcement doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%, marked a pivotal moment for what analysts are calling the "Trump trade 2.0."

$2T+ New US Manufacturing Commitments

Steel sector explodes on tariff protection

Trump's announcement that he would double steel tariffs from 25% to 50% sent US Steel (X) soaring 21% in immediate trading. Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rallied 18% while Nucor (NUE) gained 5-6%. The tariff protection creates an immediate competitive advantage for domestic producers, with US steel currently trading at $984 per metric ton compared to China's $392. The Nippon deal includes a "golden share" giving the US government veto power over major decisions while guaranteeing no layoffs for 10 years.

Immediate Steel Winners:
  • US Steel (X) +21%
  • Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) +18%
  • Nucor (NUE) +5-6%
  • Century Aluminum (CENX) +10%

Banking deregulation sparks record highs

Top Banking Plays:
  • JPMorgan (JPM) Record highs
  • Wells Fargo (WFC) Asset cap lift H1 2025
  • Regional Banks (KRE) +30% YTD
  • Goldman Sachs (GS) Investment banking revival

JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs both touched record highs Friday as Trump's banking deregulation agenda accelerated. The administration's suspension of Biden-era merger restrictions and signals that Basel III capital requirements would be "partially or fully gutted" sent financial stocks surging. Regional banks have particularly benefited, with the KRE ETF up 30% year-to-date. Wells Fargo stands out as its $1.95 trillion asset cap could be lifted in the first half of 2025, enabling growth resumption after a decade of constraints.

Energy infrastructure emerges as hidden winner

Best Risk-Adjusted Energy Plays:
  • Enterprise Products (EPD) 6.5% yield
  • Energy Transfer (ET) 7.2% yield
  • ONEOK (OKE) 10.9% div growth

The convergence of Trump's "drill baby drill" agenda with explosive AI datacenter demand has created unexpected opportunities in midstream energy infrastructure. Enterprise Products Partners revealed that 70 datacenters across 12 states are seeking natural gas connections, driving pipeline expansion. These companies benefit from volume growth rather than oil prices, with Enterprise Products Partners offering a 6.5% yield while Energy Transfer provides 7.2%. The sector's fee-based revenue model provides protection against commodity price volatility while capturing drilling boom growth.

Defense and nuclear power gain momentum

Trump's $175 billion "Golden Dome" missile defense announcement specifically named Lockheed Martin as the lead contractor. Nuclear power stocks surged after Trump signed executive orders to boost the industry, with the Global X Uranium ETF gaining 11.6%. The nuclear rally represents a new dimension of the Trump trade as AI power demands collide with energy independence goals. Lockheed Martin has emerged as a top defense play, while Constellation Energy leads nuclear operators.

This Week's Momentum Leaders:
  • Global X Uranium (URA) +11.6%
  • Lockheed Martin (LMT) Lead contractor
  • RTX Corporation (RTX) +14.4% YTD
  • Constellation Energy (CEG) Largest operator

Manufacturing boom drives long-term tailwinds

The White House reports over $2 trillion in new US manufacturing commitments since Trump's inauguration, including historic deals with Qatar ($1.2 trillion) and Saudi Arabia ($600 billion). These commitments span semiconductors, AI infrastructure, energy projects, and advanced manufacturing facilities. Major corporations including Apple, NVIDIA, and others have announced significant domestic expansion plans. The scale of these investments suggests multi-year tailwinds for companies positioned to benefit from reshoring trends.

What this could mean for investors

The convergence of tariff protection, financial deregulation, and massive infrastructure commitments has created what analysts describe as a "once-in-a-decade" realignment across multiple sectors. Financial experts suggest focusing on companies with strong balance sheets and fee-based revenue models to navigate potential trade volatility while capturing policy tailwinds. The challenge for individual investors lies in identifying which opportunities represent sustainable trends versus temporary policy-driven rallies. Smart money appears to be positioning for a multi-year cycle favoring domestic producers, infrastructure companies, and businesses aligned with the administration's economic nationalism agenda.

Donald Trump just won the election resoundingly. And already, in the first few hours after the news, Bitcoin has skyrocketed. Hitting all-time highs on the first day after the election. But that’s just the start …

Juan Villaverde called the top and bottom of every crypto bull market since 2012. And he says 2025 could be the greatest bull market in crypto history. He believes Bitcoin will go to $150,000 — or more.

But there’s one coin he thinks could go even higher. It’s part of Trump’s special Project Crypto. His plan to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.” This could be his favorite coin.

And it’s definitely one of his vice president’s favorite. Click here to find out more about the coin that makes more than Bitcoin in the 2025 bull market.

Trump's Backing Oil. Nvidia's Powering A.I.

There's a new kind of power play happening in the Middle East.

Trump helped broker it.

Nvidia's chips are driving it.

And Saudi money is funding it.

But here's what the media missed…

A tiny U.S. energy company could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the A.I. + energy boom this deal kicks off.

Karim Rahemtulla says it's the most undervalued stock he's seen in years:

  • It's wildly profitable – over $3 billion in operating income.
  • Pays a growing dividend
  • Trades at a fraction of its peers
  • And it landed a partnership with a major A.I. player

This has all the makings of a true market unicorn.

And right now, you can still get in before the floodgates open.
