This President’s Day, we can celebrate having a pro-business President.
Here’s why that’s great for investors like us…
Every great business leader knows one thing: controlling costs is the ultimate competitive advantage.
Take Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, who famously said, “Control your expenses better than your competition.”
For 25 years, Walmart was the industry leader in the lowest expense-to-sales ratio.
Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, pushed cost awareness with what he called “a manic frenzy.”
Warren Buffett put it simply: “A good manager must be a demon on costs.” (hat tip to David Senra at the Founders Podcast for this information).
The lesson?
Cost control isn’t just smart — it’s essential.
President Donald J. Trump is not a politician. He’s a billionaire businessman and understands this better than most.
Now, as the 47th president, he’s making cost control the cornerstone of his plan to reform the federal government.
He started by bringing in Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
He is an entrepreneur billionaire. In fact, Musk is one of the wealthiest people in the world.
Their mission with DOGE is to cut waste, slash regulations and shrink the bloated federal bureaucracy.
And they are already on a roll…
DOGE said on X, that it’s already terminated 89 contracts totaling $881 million just last week.
And there’s room for more.
DOGE’s bold mission will have a direct impact on investors.
By finding and eliminating waste, fraud, and poor management, DOGE ensures that taxpayer money is used wisely.
This helps lower the national debt, makes the economy more stable, and gives investors more confidence.
This isn’t just a plan — it’s a blueprint for unlocking America’s full potential.
With DOGE set to deliver results by 2026 — shooting to cut more than $2 trillion in waste — this initiative could create a ripple effect across markets.
