As long-time Green Zone readers know, Sterling Infrastructure (STRL) is a phenomenal business … but it hasn’t always been one. Their transformation from a low profit margin “civil” projects construction firm to a leader in the high-margin data center segment is one for the history books.

I love getting questions and feedback from readers. Green Zone Fortunes subscribers tend to be highly engaged investors… and you keep me on my toes! So, as we’re just starting to hit our stride in 2026, why don’t I take a minute to answer some of the questions that have come in over the past few weeks. And please, if you have any comments of your own to add, send them to GreenZone@MoneyandMarkets.com. Let’s jump in.

So, that happened… By now, you’ve seen the news that U.S. Delta Force apprehended Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is now in New York waiting to stand trial on narco-terrorism charges. What happens next politically is anyone’s guess. President Trump has said repeatedly that the U.S. will “run” the country for some period of time, though it’s unclear what exactly that means. For now, the Maduro regime (minus Maduro) remains in control. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the U.S. would manage Venezuela only indirectly, using the threat of military force to influence the government.

You can stick a fork in 2025. It’s done, or at least it will be soon enough. Part of me will be sad to see it end because 2025 was a good year for us. We stuck to our guns, tuned out the noise, and trusted my Green Zone Power Ratings system. It didn’t let us down. As I write this, we’re sitting on triple-digit gains in 10 of our open positions… and we’re within spitting distance of triple-digit gains in a few more.

Today is Christmas Eve, so we’re closing the office early to give the team a little time with their families. Money never sleeps, but we have no interest in being a modern-day Ebenezer Scrooge! And about that… Before we bring out the eggnog, I want to say a quick thank you for reading Green Zone Fortunes.
