America Can't Secure Its Future On Imported Minerals Authored by Jack Bergman via RealClearPolitics.com, If the past few years taught us anything, it’s that national security no longer stops at the water’s edge or the factory gate.

America Can't Secure Its Future On Imported Minerals Authored by Jack Bergman via RealClearPolitics.com, If the past few years taught us anything, it’s that national security no longer stops at the water’s edge or the factory gate. It runs through the mines, mills, refineries, and logistics networks that supply the metals inside our jets, ships, satellites, power grid, and the next generation of energy technologies. Copper, nickel, cobalt, and other critical minerals aren’t just components of consumer gadgets; they are the sinews of American strength. And yet, for far too long, we have treated domestic mineral production like an afterthought, outsourcing supply to geopolitical rivals and fragile supply chains while hoping global markets will behave . That is a strategic gamble we cannot afford. Consider copper and nickel. Copper is the metal of electrification, essential to everything from radar systems to transformers to the wiring that hardens our bases and powers missile-defense sites. Nickel strengthens steel and is vital for advanced batteries and armor. Demand is climbing as our military modernizes and our economy electrifies. Meanwhile, a handful of countries dominate key stages of mining and processing, creating single points of failure that adversaries can exploit and crises can choke. We wouldn’t outsource fighter jet production to a rival power; why would we outsource the metals that make those jets possible? A national strategy to close that vulnerability must include responsible American mining. Fortunately, this administration understands the importance of a reliable supply chain and domestic mineral production. In just a few days, Congress is expected to consider legislation to reverse a ban on exploration and mining in an area of northeastern Minnesota rich in natural resources, including copper and nickel. This region contains 95% of our nation’s nickel resources, nearly 90% of our cobalt, and about a third of our copper. Bottom line: This bill is k...

Key Points The Russell 2000 has soared to start the year, up 7.5% through Jan. 23, while the S&P 500 has been flat. Investors have been anticipating a rotation away from the S&P 500 due to its high valuation. After the Russell 2000 beat the S&P 500 for 14 days in a row, the streak came to an end on Jan. 23. 10 stocks we like better than iShares Trust - iShares Russell 2000 ETF › Coming into 2026, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has been on one of its strongest multi-year streaks in history. From 2023-2025, the index jumped a whopping 78%. However, that three-year period on the market has also stood out for another reason. The gap in performance between the S&P 500, which holds large-cap stocks, and the small-cap Russell 2000, was one of the biggest as you can see from the chart below. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » The S&P 500 has essentially doubled the return of the Russell 2000 during that period. That gap owes to the emergence of AI, which has been led by the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, which now represent roughly a third of the S&P 500's market cap, as well as other megacap tech stocks that have surged in the AI boom. The chart above is also notable because small caps typically outperform large caps during bull markets, as they are more volatile, riskier, and more exposed to the macro economy. The trend over the last three years now seems to be reversing. Through Jan. 23, the Russell 2000 has easily outpaced the S&P 500. Not only is the Russell 2000 handsomely beating its large-cap peer, but it has also put together its longest streak of daily outperformance since 1996. To start off the year, the Russell 2000 beat the S&P 500 for 14 straight sessions before falling 1.8% on Jan. 23 to end the streak. That rotation suggests investors expect the bull market to broaden, given the S&P 500's historically high valuation and the relative discount of the Russell 2000. L...
