A little over a year ago President Trump signed an order no president had touched in fifty years. That single move opened what Dylan Jovine calls Trump’s Checkmate in a quiet two-front economic fight against an $18 trillion superpower. Beneath the surface one American company sits right in the middle of it.
This is not a story about nuclear weapons or the price of a barrel of oil. It is a story about power—who controls the energy that runs the modern world and who gets cut off from it.
Dylan Jovine is the dirt-poor kid from Queens, New York, who went on to become one of the youngest broker-dealers in Wall Street history. Later he founded the independent stock research publisher Behind the Markets. Today he is pointing investors toward a single company he calls the Iron Artery—the physical pipeline network that makes the new energy strategy work.
Who Is Dylan Jovine?
Dylan started on Wall Street in 1991. He was hired by a veteran investment banker who had helped save New York City from bankruptcy in the 1970s. By age 24 Dylan had founded his own brokerage and investment bank, Lexington Capital Partners, right on 100 Wall Street, a short walk from the New York Stock Exchange.
At that young age he guided the firm through the long and strict National Association of Securities Dealers membership process. Most people never manage that. By the time he sold his stake, the firm was making markets in more than one hundred securities and generating about twenty-five million dollars a year in revenue.
After leaving the brokerage world he launched Tycoon Publishing in 2004. The goal was simple: give regular people the same quality of independent research that big institutions already had. At its peak the company served more than 500,000 individual investors in 28 countries. In 2011 he sold Tycoon to Agora, one of the largest financial newsletter publishers in the world.
In 2018 Dylan started Behind the Markets. He wanted a place where he could publish research without the conflicts that come from working inside a big bank or brokerage. The service is built for individual investors who are tired of the noise on television and the delayed ideas that reach the public after the institutions have already moved.
Dylan writes the research himself. He has more than thirty years of experience buying and selling stocks, running a market-making firm, and publishing investment letters. He is known for speaking plainly, for admitting when he is wrong, and for focusing on cash flow and real businesses instead of hype.
What Behind the Markets Actually Delivers
Behind the Markets is a monthly research letter plus ongoing updates. Subscribers receive:
- Detailed stock recommendations with clear reasons to buy, suggested entry prices, and exit guidelines
- Access to a model portfolio that shows exactly what Dylan is holding
- Special reports on major themes such as energy, technology, and policy shifts
- Regular market commentary that explains what is happening behind the headlines
The service is designed for people who want to understand the bigger picture and then act on specific ideas. It is not day-trading advice. It is not a hot-tip service that changes every week. It is research written by someone who has owned a brokerage firm and knows how the game is actually played.
Dylan often says he built the service for the investor Wall Street ignores—the person who does not have a private banker or a research desk of twenty analysts. The price has always been kept low on purpose so ordinary investors can afford the same quality of thinking.
The Dollar Shock That Started the Clock
When the previous administration froze hundreds of billions of dollars belonging to Russia’s central bank, the rest of the world paid attention. China began selling large amounts of U.S. debt. Central banks everywhere started buying physical gold instead of more Treasuries.
For the first time in more than thirty years, central banks now own more gold than U.S. government debt. When foreign countries stop buying American debt, the cost of borrowing goes up—not just for Washington, but for every family. Mortgages, car payments, and credit cards all become more expensive.
That is the situation President Trump inherited. He had to move quickly. Replacing the dollar as the world’s main reserve currency was only China’s opening move.
China’s Energy Plan for Artificial Intelligence
China has spent roughly a trillion dollars building a modern energy grid. The goal is clear: power artificial intelligence on Chinese chips, through Chinese networks, using Chinese electricity, and dominate the next industrial era.
To keep that grid running at full speed, Beijing needs cheap and reliable fuel. Quiet deals with Iran and Venezuela for millions of barrels of crude became part of the solution. As long as that discounted oil kept flowing, the servers stayed cool and the factories kept producing.
Trump’s response comes directly from Ronald Reagan’s old playbook.
Reagan’s Secret Weapon
In January 1983 President Reagan signed a top-secret order called NSDD-75. One important part of that strategy helped flood the oil market. The Soviet Union lost an estimated twenty billion dollars a year in hard currency. Their state-controlled economy could not handle the pressure.
Trump is using a modern version of the same idea. On February 14, 2025 he signed Executive Order 14213 and created the National Energy Dominance Council. The Council’s job is straightforward: increase American energy production, speed up permits for pipelines and export terminals, and make sure the United States controls the physical routes that energy travels.
The strategy is simple. Starve the other side’s grid of cheap fuel while supercharging America’s own energy system. That is the real two-front economic fight.
Why the Pipelines Matter Most
When Reagan’s approach worked in the 1980s, the American stock market roughly tripled. The investors who made the biggest personal fortunes did not just own the broad market indexes. They owned the physical choke points—the pipelines, the storage tanks, and the routes the energy had to move through.
Today the same logic applies, only the scale is larger because of artificial intelligence. American natural gas has to reach the power plants and data centers that will run the next generation of computing. That requires tens of thousands of miles of pipe.
The Iron Artery Company
One company owns a network of pipelines that connects 44 states. The system covers roughly 140,000 miles and links the major producing basins to the places where the gas is actually burned. More than 90 percent of its earnings come from long-term contracts with fixed fees. That means the cash flow does not swing wildly with the daily price of oil or gas.
This year the company expects revenue in the range of 17.3 to 17.7 billion dollars, and recent updates have pushed those numbers higher. It has already signed multi-year deals to deliver natural gas to large data-center projects. New pipeline expansions are under construction to move even more volume toward regions where electricity demand is rising fastest.
When national policy decides that energy dominance is a priority, the companies that own the actual pipes become essential infrastructure. History shows that the wealth created in those moments can be significant for the investors who position early.
