Most "big" projects (huge chip foundries, etc.) require various forms of government approval (if not outright funding). They get asymmetry from knowing:

1. Sometimes that the project is happening before everyone else 2. If the project will or will not be approved or stopped e.g. in committee 3. Various other classified things like Dept of Defense briefings (if the Army says it needs XYZ component and plans to buy 10 billion worth of them, then buy the company that makes XYZ component).
