Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you.
The #1 AI Investment
Elon + Nvidia =
Dear Reader,
Do you see this weird looking device?
This is Nvidia’s holy grail.
It contains over 3 terabytes of memory…
80 billion transistors…
And can perform over 60 trillion calculations… per second.
This single computer chip goes for $25,000 a pop.
And now…
Elon Musk…
The world’s richest man…
Alongside Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang…
Are about to crank it up to 1 million.
At a remote facility in Memphis Tennessee…
You two of them have teamed up with an emerging tech titan…
To build the most advanced AI machine on the planet…
Powered by 1 million of these advanced AI chips.
This Will Unlock the TRUE Power of Artificial Intelligence!
But before you rush out to buy shares of Tesla or Nvidia…
There’s another investment you must consider.
You see, there is ONE company…
That Elon … and Nvidia…
And 98% of the Fortune 500…
Are ALL working with…
To prepare for AI 2.0.
Nvidia’s CEO has even said – this company is ESSENTIAL to their ongoing expansion.
>>>See how you can invest in this revolutionary company today.
Elon is expanding this project RAPIDLY…
And just announced a second AI computer…
That will need this company in order to build.
This may be the single greatest way to build wealth from the AI bull market.
But you must take action immediately.
AI is quickly becoming one of the MAIN focuses in Trump’s new administration…
And once Wall Street sees what this AI can really do — it will be too late.
>>>Go here to learn how to invest in Elon new AI venture.

Crisis in the Caribbean: The Defense Sector Playbook
Authored by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Publication Date: 1/7/2026.
In Brief
- RTX Corp stands to benefit significantly from inelastic global demand for its precision stand-off weapons and advanced air defense interceptors.
- L3Harris Technologies is optimizing its portfolio to fund high-growth national security technologies while dominating the solid rocket motor market.
- Embraer is capitalizing on the urgent need for regional logistics and border surveillance by expanding its fleet of tactical transport aircraft.
The geopolitical landscape shifted dramatically on Jan. 5, 2026. Following the collapse of the Argyle Accords and the failure of diplomatic channels over the Essequibo region, the U.S. Department of Defense initiated military operations in Venezuela.
As the broader market absorbs this volatility, a clear signal has emerged within the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) sector: investors should not make broad, undifferentiated purchases of defense stocks because of this conflict.

Instead, smart money is rotating capital toward companies that address two immediate, critical needs: replenishing depleted high-tech ammunition and strengthening regional border security. That conflict-driven thesis points to three companies: RTX Corp (NYSE: RTX), L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX), and Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ).
The Strike Package: RTX Corp and L3Harris
To understand recent stock moves in this sector, investors must first understand the battlefield.
This is not a counterinsurgency operation; it is a conflict with a state actor equipped with advanced Russian-made air defense systems, specifically the S-300VM Antey-2500. That system creates a denial zone, making standard airstrikes too risky for manned aircraft. Consequently, the U.S. military must rely on stand-off weapons — precision missiles launched from hundreds of miles away to destroy targets without exposing pilots. That tactical reality creates a direct financial pipeline to major U.S. contractors.
RTX Corp: The Prime Integrator
RTX Corp is the primary beneficiary of the stand-off strategy.
It produces the tools required to counter the S-300 network:
- The Tomahawk Cruise Missile: The standard for long-range precision strikes.
- The GEM-T Interceptor: A critical missile used by the Patriot Air Defense System to protect U.S. forces from counterattacks.
Entering 2026, RTX held a record backlog of over $225 billion. The removal of the Department of Justice regulatory overhang in late 2024 has allowed the company to focus squarely on execution.
RTX’s key advantage in the current situation is pricing power. The Venezuela operation comes after years of stockpile depletion in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. With global inventories critically low, demand for RTX products is relatively inelastic: governments must replenish supplies regardless of price, improving revenue visibility through the rest of the decade.
L3Harris: The Engine Room
You cannot fire a missile without a motor — and that is where L3Harris Technologies comes in.
Following its strategic acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne in mid-2023, L3Harris is the dominant supplier of solid rocket motors.
There is a symbiotic relationship:
- Volume Growth: Every Tomahawk that RTX sells requires a propulsion system from L3Harris.
- Strategic Focus: On Jan. 5, 2026, news broke that L3Harris is divesting lower-margin civil space assets. The roughly $500 million in new net capital can be directed to high-demand national security technology.
- Margin Expansion: The LHX NeXt efficiency program aims to cut overhead and streamline operations, positioning L3Harris to improve profit margins compared with the last major conflict cycle.
The Brazil Hedge: Embraer’s Logistic Monopoly
While U.S. primes handle long-range strike capabilities, Brazil faces a different requirement: containment.
The conflict in Venezuela presents a large stability risk for the continent, forcing Brazil to secure its 1,300-mile northern border. This military mobilization, known as Operation Roraima, began in 2024 and was reactivated on Jan. 3, 2026, to temporarily close and then reinforce the border between Venezuela and Brazil. That mobilization is a unique catalyst for Embraer.
The Workhorse: A-29 Super Tucano
The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) has significantly increased its presence in the border region, and its primary tool is the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano. This turboprop is rugged, inexpensive to operate, and well suited to monitoring the dense Amazon.
In November 2025, Embraer rolled out a substantial upgrade for the A-29, adding counter-UAS (anti-drone) capabilities. That enhances the aircraft’s operational value and revenue potential.
- Utilization Rates: As these aircraft fly around the clock to monitor the border, they require parts, maintenance, and support.
- Recurring Revenue: That activity boosts Embraer’s Services & Support division, which typically yields higher margins than aircraft sales alone.
The Halo Effect
Embraer is also benefiting from a flight-to-quality in the transportation sector. The C-390 Millennium military transport recently beat the U.S.-made C-130 Hercules to win a contract with Sweden in late 2025. As the Brazilian military demonstrates the C-390’s reliability moving troops to the Venezuelan border, it becomes a live marketing case for other nations modernizing their fleets.
Caution Ahead: Supply Chains and Valuation
While the demand signal is strong, the supply chain remains a limiting factor. The primary risk to this bullish thesis is not political but industrial.
The bottleneck: defense contractors are struggling to convert large backlogs into cash. The industry faces persistent shortages in critical raw materials:
- Titanium: Essential for airframes and engines, with supply lines still adjusting away from Russian sources.
- Energetics: The specialized chemicals needed for rocket motors (a key input for L3Harris) are in short supply globally.
Investors should also be mindful of the war premium. Stocks often spike on the initial news of conflict. If the Venezuela operation is swift and surgical, short-term sentiment may cool. The longer-term thesis — the need to replenish depleted inventories — remains valid regardless of how long the conflict lasts.
Buying the Rearmament Cycle
The events in Venezuela underscore that geopolitical stability is less certain than it once was. For the stock market, that creates a clear divergence: the Arsenal of Democracy requires urgent replenishment, driving a multi-year growth cycle for RTX Corp and L3Harris. At the same time, Embraer is positioned to capitalize on regional logistics and border-security needs.
Investors viewing the A&D sector today are not merely buying “war stocks”; they are buying into a multi-year cycle of rearmament and regional fortification — but with the caveat that execution risks and supply-chain constraints could temper near-term returns.
