Elite Trade Club Insider
A Former CEO Sold $15.3 Million Near The High While A Rival CEO Bought More
You’re looking at two major U.S. shale producers benefiting from stronger energy markets and enormous cash generation.

Movers and Shakers
Applied Aerospace & Defense [AADX]: Premarket Move: +3%
Applied Aerospace & Defense moved higher as renewed Middle East tensions kept defense spending and military suppliers in focus. The latest escalation included a Houthi drone and missile attack on a Saudi airbase, adding another tailwind for a company whose exposure spans missile defense, precision-strike systems and space hardware, with contract backlog recently topping $1.1 billion.
Enova International [ENVA]: Premarket Move: −18%
Enova plunged after withdrawing its regulatory applications for the planned $369 million acquisition of Grasshopper Bancorp. The deal would have given Enova ownership of a nationally chartered bank, but management cited unclear regulatory standards for nonbank lenders seeking bank status. The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance and said it plans to accelerate share repurchases.
Circle Internet Group [CRCL]: Premarket Move: −6%
Circle fell as bitcoin retreated and a broader risk-off move hit markets amid surging Treasury yields and expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hike. Bitcoin dropped more than 2%, pressuring crypto-linked stocks as the U.S. 10-year yield pushed above 5%, a particularly tough backdrop for higher-valuation names like the USDC stablecoin issuer.

There was a gold rush in the "Black Hills" surrounding Mount Rushmore a century and a half ago, in the 1870s.

You Read This Far. Here's Where the Real Work Lives.
We run three live portfolios on Autopilot, and everything about them is public: every position, every allocation, every trade, visible the moment it happens.
We keep our own money in each one, because analysis you won't fund yourself is just content.
THE UNBREAKABLE STACK
Our growth book: durable software and cybersecurity names built to compound quietly for years.
THE HORMUZ PREMIUM
Our energy thesis: built for how that sector actually pays, over quarters, not headlines.
THE ELON INDEX
Our conviction bet on the Musk universe: Tesla, and the companies orbiting his ventures, energy, AI, infrastructure. High-beta by design, for investors who want direct exposure to the trade rather than watching it from the sidelines.
And here's the part that makes it effortless: Autopilot does the trading for you. Connect the brokerage you already use (Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, and more) and every move we make gets mirrored in your own account automatically.
Your money never leaves your brokerage. It stays in your account, under your control, and you can override any trade or disconnect anytime. Autopilot even rebalances automatically when allocations drift, and you get a notification every time something happens.
No watching tickers. No timing entries. No fat-finger mistakes at market open. You pick the portfolio, we do the work, your account follows along.
Pick the one that fits your risk level, or run all three:
Live portfolios, real positions, our own capital at stake. Your funds stay in your own brokerage account. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
That’s all for today. Thank you for reading. If you have any feedback, please reply to this email.
Best Regards,
— Adam Garcia
