Ideas
Trump is bearish on wind energy.
Trump says windmills are ineffective and money-losing, destroy land, and his administration is taking them down and not approving any, a clear negative policy and sentiment signal for wind energy.
Tariffs and reshoring boost US steel.
Trump says domestic steel production is up 300,000 tons per month and doubling or tripling, with steel plants being built across the country, supported by tariffs on foreign imports, a bullish policy tailwind for U.S. steel producers.
Tariffs drive manufacturing back to US.
Trump says tariffs and 100% expensing/bonus depreciation are bringing factories and car plants back to the U.S. from Canada, Mexico, Japan, and China; factory construction is up 41% and more plants are being built than ever, supporting U.S. manufacturing.
Drilling records support US oil and gas.
Trump says his administration is pro-energy and has accelerated approvals, with U.S. natural gas production at an all-time high and oil production up 730,000 barrels per day. He says the U.S. is drilling more oil and gas than ever, almost double, supporting domestic energy producers.
Trump goes heavy into nuclear energy.
Trump says he signed an order directing approval of many new nuclear reactors and that his administration is going heavy into nuclear energy because safety and cost have improved, creating a clear policy tailwind for nuclear.
US AI leadership supports infrastructure buildout.
Trump says the U.S. is leading the world and China in AI by a lot, and that he is letting large AI companies build their own electric generation to support massive AI data-center construction, a positive signal for AI infrastructure.
US stock market will double.
Trump says the U.S. economy is booming, inflation has been defeated, and his growth and tariff policies will push the stock market much higher. He explicitly forecasts the stock market will double and hit 50,000, after 52 all-time highs and $9 trillion in gains since the election.
NATO demand boosts US defense production.
Trump says NATO allies are now paying 5% of GDP and buying U.S. weapons. He wants defense companies to produce faster, build additional plants for Tomahawks, Patriots, F-35s, F-47s, and B-2s, and has banned buybacks so money goes into capacity, a bullish demand and capex signal for the U.S. defense industry.
Drug price cuts pressure pharma margins.
Trump says his most favored nation policy will bring U.S. prescription drug prices down by up to 90% and force other countries to raise prices, a major revenue and margin headwind for pharmaceutical companies.
Institutional home-buying ban hurts SFR REITs.
Trump says Wall Street and institutional investors have driven up housing prices by buying hundreds of thousands of single-family homes, and he signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, a direct growth headwind for single-family rental REITs.
Credit card rate cap hurts issuers.
Trump is asking Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, noting that credit card profit margins exceed 50% and rates are 28-32%, which would pressure credit card issuer revenue and profitability.
Pro-crypto policy boosts Bitcoin and crypto.
Trump says he is working to ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world, signed the GENIUS Act, and Congress is working on crypto market structure legislation including Bitcoin; he wants to lock in the market before China does, a positive regulatory catalyst for crypto.
Government buys mortgage bonds, lowering rates.
Trump says he instructed government-backed institutions to purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down interest rates, which supports mortgage bond prices and lowers mortgage rates.
