The Future of War
Now in Florida...
Many of you may own a small drone. If not, you have certainly seen others flying their little drones.
Imagine strapping a bomb to the drone and flying it into a target. Practically every day on the news we hear about Russia launching attacks on Ukraine using swarms of drones (and Ukraine doing likewise against Russia).
Have no doubt - drones are the future of war. Or, more properly stated, purpose-built, lethal, unmanned systems designed to enhance precision strike capability and operator survivability during irregular warfare operations in complex urban and confined rural environments are the future of war.
Why should we care?
A new manufacturing facility in Florida is now producing these tactical drones. The facility is actually funded by an Israeli company. The Israeli company now wants to have exposure to U.S. equity markets. And this is where the story gets more than a bit strange…because it has a deep connection to the man in the White House.
A recent news release says it all: Israeli drone and robotics company XTEND has announced plans to go public through a reverse merger with U.S.-listed JFB Construction Holdings, in a transaction that values the combined company at approximately $1.5 billion. The deal includes a strategic investment round backed by several investors, including Eric Trump.
Another press release I read said that between Eric and his Dad - Donald, they invested $44 million into JFB Construction.
The companies stated that the merger has been unanimously approved by both boards and is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to customary conditions. Upon completion, the combined entity will be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “XTND.” XTEND shareholders are expected to hold roughly 70% of the combined company, with JFB shareholders owning the remaining 30% on a fully diluted basis.
Another news item said: Xtend touts its drones as “low cost per kill”, which has appealed to the US Department of Defense. In November, the firm said it had solidified a multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon but did not disclose the contract’s value.
JFB soon to be renamed XTND
Here is a chart of JFB Construction as of Feb 17th. Price action is responding well to heliocentric planetary aspects. Price pivot points also align well to Moon declination extrema. Jupiter quantum lines are working very well also.
I have no idea what the share price will do as the reverse takeover of JFB is completed. But, after the deal is done, I would suggest paying close attention to price action on the stock.
The only issue you will have to grapple with is the glaring conflict of interest that exists between the Trump family and the maker of tactical war drones with contracts from the Pentagon.
As far as I am concerned, I am ready to just focus on the stock price post takeover merger. I will seek to trade the ups and downs of the stock.
There is so much strange and unusual stuff going on in our world these days that the involvement of the U.S. President and his family in a war munitions venture does not unsettle me in the least. Nor does it surprise me.
The future of war is now here and it is in Florida - with deep connections to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.
Stay tuned…. there is much more to this story…
