During a meeting in Washington D.C., Jeff Brown discovered a bold initiative. He calls it “President Trump’s Project MAFA,” and it could soon return America to a “new” gold standard. The Trump administration, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley are all pushing it forward. The President himself calls the plan “incredible.” Already, it’s helping small plays jump as high as 300%, 318%, 520%, and even 600%.

Short selling AVGO is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Broadcom as its price is falling. AVGO shares are trading down $3.74 today.
