Hello everyone, Andrew Zatlin here! I already sent over your Capitol Gains Trader Weekly Update yesterday afternoon. You can read that here if you haven’t yet had the chance to review it. This week’s issue covered the “Big Picture” behind President Trump’s friendly approach to Argentina … and his not-so-friendly approach to Venezuela. We also looked at the top trades from D.C. insiders (Pelosi made the list this week), as well as Capitol Hill’s schedule for the upcoming week.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently pledged $20 billion to backstop Argentina’s transformative new government under Javier Milei. The money will be used to establish a swap line to ensure liquidity as Argentina removes its currency controls to establish a managed float for its peso — effectively opening the country back up for foreign investment for the first time in years.

ESG is shorthand for “Environmental, Social and Governance” investing — a kind of green-friendly, more conscientious trend that really took hold during the Biden era. America’s priorities have since shifted, and it’s hard to even imagine seeing a resurgence of ESG investing during the Trump 2.0 era. Instead, investors are jumping onboard for a whole new D.C. -driven trend, and J.P. Morgan is leading the way.

Washington D.C. can’t seem to get much of anything done these days. But one thing they have proven themselves adept at doing is making millionaires investors practically out of thin air. Today, we’re going to look at a recent and ongoing case where that’s precisely what’s happening. A distinguished gentleman from Baton Rouge, with zero official background in technology or artificial intelligence, who suddenly emerges as a cunning tech investor during his first term on Capitol Hill.

It’s officially the first day of a government shutdown after Democrats and Republicans failed to come to terms on a continuing resolution for funding. But while the mainstream media stays laser-focused on this political theater, we’re looking past the surface-level news … to a major development that just took place over the weekend.
