In this video, we break down why global defense spending is being repriced right now, and how a $1.5 trillion defense push is quietly reshaping the market.
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about positioning.
We walk through:
• Why defense is no longer cyclical, it’s infrastructure
• How geopolitical tension is locking in multi-year government contracts
• Why capital is flowing into defense before headlines catch up
Then we break down two ETFs built for this moment:
• ITA- the backbone of U.S. aerospace and defense
• SHLD- where modern warfare, AI, and battlefield intelligence intersect
You’ll learn:
• How these ETFs work
• What the expense ratios actually mean
• Why governments upgrade fleets instead of replacing them
• How defense spending compounds quietly over time
If you’re trying to protect purchasing power, position ahead of the crowd, and understand how money really moves during global shifts, this video is for you.
This isn’t a trade.
It’s preparation.

Wild you dropped SHLD because without saying too much I do IT work for the Marine Corp at a simulation center. All week we’ve had VIP’s here and a bunch of different defense companies getting presentations from Palantir showing off some of their sim systems. I’ve even worked exercises with one of their sims, it was a joint coalition exercise consisting of all the branches including Australians and British. I’ve been trying to figure out who I was investing in this week when I get paid and you just confirmed it for me. Since I’ve found your channel, I’ve put together a nice little diverse portfolio and I’m already seeing gains. Now the mission is to get 100 of everything I own. Keep blessing the fam (and you be ahead of a lot of other YouTubers.).
