• $COMMERCIALDEF - Greater integration between commercial and defense industries could benefit national security and drive innovation.

  • “Every camera, car, and serial box Americans bought was actually subsidizing our national security.”

• $SPACEX - SpaceX's Starship heavy reuse capability could dramatically reduce space launch costs, potentially to as low as $10-$20 per launch.

  • “With Starship heavy reuse, we're looking at 10 to $20. I'm not missing any zeros there. 10 to $20.”

Bearish:

• $DEFENSEMONO - The current monopsony structure in defense procurement limits innovation and needs addressing.

  • “We have taken our defense industrial base. We've put them on the Galapagos Island. They're serving this one customer, the monopsonist.”
