WHITE HOUSE INSIDER BUCK SEXTON:
“TRUMP’S NEXT MOVE WILL
SHOCK THE WORLD”

Dear Reader,

I just returned from a private interview at the Biltmore hotel…

Where I shared a chilling prediction regarding a major plan currently developing inside the Trump administration.

See, I have had direct access to top-level defense and national security officials… Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio and others…

Which is why I was recently invited to a sit-down meeting with President Trump and Vice President Vance inside the West Wing of the White House.

And what I learned gave me the chills…

That’s why, today, I’ve decided to give a rare interview breaking down something I believe every American needs to hear – especially investors.

It’s not about tariffs, crypto, or the Fed. Or anything else you’re hearing about ad nauseam from the mainstream press right now.

It’s about a radical move I believe Trump is going to make any day – one that could shock the world.

Because I believe it could single-handedly reshape the global order… dramatically increase U.S. power…  and trigger a massive American market boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 75 years.

President Trump himself said this is all about one thing…

Igniting what he calls “the most extraordinary boom the world has ever seen.”

This is a rare opportunity, folks.

And I’m bringing it to you on a silver platter… long before anyone else gets wind of it. Take it while you can.  Because once this story and opportunity  hits the mainstream, it could be too late to act.

You deserve this…

Get the details here now.

Sincerely,

Buck Sexton

This Week’s Exclusive News

Massive Breakout in Industrials: 3 Must-Watch Stocks Now

Reported by Ryan Hasson. Posted: 12/17/2025. 

At a Glance

• The industrials sector is showing signs of leadership, with XLI breaking out of a lengthy consolidation and outperforming the broader market in the short term.
• XLI’s breakout above $155 suggests capital rotation into industrials may be gaining momentum into year-end.
• GE Vernova and RTX stand out as sector leaders, both posting substantial YTD gains and fresh breakouts backed by improving fundamentals and bullish sentiment.

As the year winds down, the broader market has performed well: the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) is up about 16% year-to-date (YTD). But beneath the surface, leadership is shifting. One notable development is a breakout in the industrials sector, a move that could signal a rotation of capital and renewed outperformance into year-end and beyond.

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLI) is up roughly 19% YTD, only modestly ahead of the S&P 500 on a headline basis. Recent performance, however, tells a more compelling story: over the past month XLI has gained 3.28% versus just 1.29% for the broader market. More importantly, the ETF has broken out of a multi-month consolidation — a technical development that can precede sustained sector leadership if it holds.

With momentum improving and capital beginning to rotate, here are three industrial-related names worth keeping on investors’ radar.

XLI: Sector Breakout Signals a Shift in Leadership

Starting with the sector ETF itself, XLI offers broad, diversified exposure to the industrials space, spanning aerospace and defense, machinery, transportation and industrial conglomerates. The fund tracks the Industrial Select Sector Index, with roughly $25.5 billion in assets under management, a dividend yield of 1.36%, and heavy U.S. exposure.

Technically, XLI had been stuck in a base since July, trading largely between $150 and $155. That changed last week when the ETF broke decisively above $155, signaling a potential trend shift. This breakout comes alongside improving flows, with 4.9% positive flows over the past three months.

XLI’s top holdings include several industrial heavyweights, such as GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE), Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), RTX Corp. (NYSE: RTX), Boeing (NYSE: BA), Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) and Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER). For investors seeking diversified exposure to a strengthening sector, XLI remains a straightforward way to express that view. For those who prefer to be selective, several individual names stand out.

GE Vernova: Momentum Leader Within Industrials

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) has emerged as one of the standout performers not just within industrials, but across the S&P 500. The stock is up roughly 107% YTD and is now the fifth-largest holding in XLI, with a 3.63% weighting.

After consolidating for several months, GEV broke out to new highs following a series of bullish catalysts announced on Dec. 9. The company raised its full-year outlook, expanded its share buyback authorization and doubled its dividend — moves that signal confidence in its long-term cash flow and growth trajectory. CEO Scott Strazik said GE Vernova is “in the early chapters of an incredible value creation opportunity with a stronger financial trajectory ahead.”

Sentiment has followed price action: analysts currently assign the stock a Moderate Buy rating, and shares are trading about 6.7% below all-time highs. From a technical perspective, holding above prior resistance near the $650 area will be key. If that level continues to act as support, GEV could remain a leadership name within both the sector and the broader market.

RTX: Aerospace and Defense Strength at New Highs

RTX Corp., the aerospace and defense giant, is another industrial name showing strong momentum. The stock is up more than 57% YTD and recently closed at new all-time highs, making it one of the strongest large-cap industrial stocks in the market.

RTX is the third-largest holding in XLI and continues to benefit from elevated defense spending and improving execution. The company reported Q3 2025 earnings on Oct. 21, delivering EPS of $1.70, well above consensus estimates of $1.41. Revenue grew 11.9% year-over-year to $22.48 billion, also topping expectations.

The stock offers a dividend yield of 1.49% and carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating from analysts. Technically, RTX has just cleared prior resistance near $180. If that level holds as new support, the setup suggests potential for continued upside into the new year.
