Follow Uncle Sam's Checkbook: direct Federal spending, CHIPS Act, semiconductor reshoring, AI power and grid infra.
@joinautopilot portfolio managed by @haztan
I'm here with one mission: Follow the checks, not the trades.
Washington is no longer just a regulator - it is one of the biggest customers, capital allocators, and policy accelerants in the market.
This portfolio doesn't copy politician trades or chase every AI headline. It follows the public companies getting paid by federal contracts, CHIPS reshoring, defense modernization, space, cyber, grid buildout, nuclear power, and AI electricity demand.
One-sentence strategy:
A concentrated portfolio built to track where Washington is funding the future - using public spending signals, awards, policy priorities, filings, backlog, guidance, and earnings validation.
Our 15-20 positions break down into three clear sleeves:
• Direct Federal / Defense / Cyber / Space 32%
• CHIPS Act / Semiconductor Reshoring 35%
• AI Power / Grid / Infrastructure 35%

We follow what Washington funds, not what politicians trade.
Expected drawdown ranges:
Normal pullback: 15 to 20 percent.
Sector rotation away from AI infrastructure, semis, defense, or power: 25 to 40 percent.
Severe risk-off or policy shock: 40 to 60 percent or more.
These aren't worst cases. They're the design range for a concentrated thematic satellite.
By the time a member of Congress files their August disclosure, the August contract was awarded in June. Obligated by July. Already in the contractor's backlog guidance.
You aren't following smart money. You're following its shadow.
Most investor attention lands after the story is already crowded.
Uncle Sam's Checkbook starts earlier, with public signals: budget lines, award notices, obligations, and company commentary.
Washington has become one of the most important customers in the market.
Defense AI. CHIPS reshoring. Grid buildout. Nuclear demand. Space. Cyber.
Uncle Sam's Checkbook follows where federal money is turning into revenue.
The edge is sequencing.
First comes budget authority. Then awards, obligations, backlog, guidance, and margins.
Headlines matter when they start moving through that chain.
