The White House is starting to look less like a regulator and more like a market player. The administration just snapped up a 10% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion, with advisors hinting this is only the beginning of a sovereign wealth fund shopping spree. Apparently, “Made in America” now comes with a side of government equity.

Here are four sectors that the White House might be eyeing next as investment opportunities.

For retail investors, this creates a two-tier opportunity landscape: established tech giants receiving direct government backing, and emerging blockchain projects gaining official validation. The Pyth Network token's 61% surge after being named in the blockchain initiative shows how quickly markets reward government-endorsed tech.

And even TikTok is getting the velvet rope treatment. President Trump is considering extending ByteDance’s deadline to sell TikTok’s US assets indefinitely, seemingly just to let the good times roll. For investors, the message is clear: if you want to ride the next wave, follow the sectors getting the government’s golden touch.

President Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook has set off a legal brawl, with a federal judge fast-tracking a hearing on her lawsuit to block the move. This is the kind of thing that should have Wall Street in a cold sweat; central bank independence is the bedrock of modern markets, but…

Instead, stocks are near record highs, and bond yields barely budged. The “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) theory is alive and well: investors keep betting that the wildest threats will fizzle, and so far, that’s been a winning trade. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is hinting at rate cuts, but he’s blaming a shaky job market, not political pressure. Wall Street’s reaction? Just keep swimming.

All this is happening as Americans’ financial confidence is slipping, especially for anyone with kids. The Fed’s next move could be the difference between a soft landing and a face plant, so maybe don’t get too comfortable.

Elected officials have had a tremendous amount of success in the market recently.

I want to keep you updated on what they’re trading and when—so you can leverage that intel as you plan out your own portfolio.
