NAFTA: The North American Free Trade Agreement – the business treaty that allowed tariff-free trade between Mexico, Canada, and the US is on the verge of becoming a memory after being enacted almost twenty-five years ago.
One of the winning points for Trump’s Presidential campaign was bringing jobs back to America – and one of the ways he plans on ensuring this is to pull out of this almost quarter-century old trade agreement.
And whether you agree with him or not – it’d be CRAZY not to educate yourself on what kind of economy we’d find ourselves in if (or maybe WHEN) this dissolution comes to be.
Would bringing those manufacturing jobs back to the US help the US economy? Or hurt it?
Would re-instituting the tariffs of old – bring the US more money? Or less?
I’m not an economist – so I’m not going to weigh in on things that are outside of my area of expertise…
What I will do will is show you which companies might benefit the most if NAFTA dissolves and which of these companies could benefit you.
So…
Let’s start with one of the first companies that’s already making moves in anticipation of Trump scrapping NAFTA – Fiat Chrysler (FCAU).
Fiat Chrysler may not be as wholly American as it used to be – but it still controls three of the brands that have become staples in the history of American automobiles – Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep.
Back in January of this year, Fiat Chrysler made headlines by announcing that it would be moving manufacturing of one of its best-selling lines, Ram Trucks, from Mexico to Michigan.
Big news, to be sure…
And while the company cited Trump’s tax cuts as the main reason for the move – some experts are saying this has more to do with the impending dissolution of NAFTA than any tax breaks the company may be getting.
Regardless of the reason, this pre-emptive strike by Fiat Chrysler may put them ahead of the game if NAFTA goes the way of the dodo.
A savvy investor may look to grab a few shares of FCAU beforehand and possibly put themselves in a prime position to profit.
Speaking of car companies…
Ford (F) has also killed its plans to build a manufacturing plant in Mexico in favor of investing in the expansion of one of its existing American plants, also in Michigan.
Even General Motors (GM) is getting in on the action…
GM says it isinvesting an ADDITIONAL $1 billion into “multiple new vehicle, advanced technology and component projects” – which the company says will result in the saving and creation of 1500 jobs…
450 of those jobs will be moving from Mexico to the US to helm its pick up truck and SUV axle production division.
And this is just the beginning…
There are other companies from multiple different markets that are looking into bringing more aspects of their business back to American soil.
Also on that list?
German company, Bayer AG (OTC:BAYRY) the maker of Bayer Aspirin and its$101 billion market cap, are in the process of buying food manufacturing giant, Monsanto Company (MON)…
And while it could move production anywhere in the world – after meeting with Trump, the company announced it was committing to keeping ALL of Monsanto’s 9,000 US jobs here in the country…
PLUS adding an additional 3,000 tech jobs – making Monsanto a “two for” if the buyout happens as well!
But there’s more…
Amazon (AMZN), IBM (IBM) and even Walmart (WMT) are all bringing some of the jobs that are now being done overseas back to America.
And I’m sure this is just the beginning of a business mass migration to the US – keep your ear to the ground, and I bet you’ll hear rumblings of other big names looking to do the same thing.
Which is why – as investors – we have to be educated and ready for this to happen.
Regardless of whether it’s tax cuts or a NAFTA implosion – the fact remains – jobs are likely coming back to the US.
What this means in the long run? Who knows…
I anticipate seeing some of these stocks listed here to experience a boost in price, giving early investors a quick pop in profits.
Some of these companies have even appeared on the GorillaTrades radar recently…
