A Message From Porter & Company Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are supposed to represent opposite visions of America… So why are they both pushing the country toward the same controversial economic system? For nearly 30 years, I’ve helped millions of investors understand the economic shifts that create – and destroy – fortunes. And I’ve spent the past several months investigating why these supposed political enemies are now aligned on one core policy. The answer is far bigger than either man – and even bigger than the coming midterms – because regardless of how you vote, neither party has any intention of stopping what happens next. If you’ve been watching the chaos of the past year unfold, struggling to understand what it all means… you’re about to get many (if not all) of the answers you’ve been searching for. And, most importantly, what it all could mean for you, your money, and your investment portfolio in the months ahead. Because as you’ll discover in my critical investment broadcast, everything from the government taking stakes in companies like Intel, Lithium Americas, and MP Materials. To Trump’s strike on Venezuela… his deal with Greenland… his seemingly never-ending slew of executive orders… and increasingly centralized grip over the economy… All the way to the surging popularity of radical socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani… It’s all deeply and inexorably intertwined in what I believe is the most consequential story of the year. A turning point that one Nobel Prize winner says is dividing not just the economy but our entire society. And as you’ll discover here, I believe the financial decisions you make in the face of this event could dictate whether you’re enriched, left stuck in the past, or impoverished by the seismic changes barreling down upon America. The stocks to buy… the stocks to sell… and the three money moves that could help you and your loved ones end up on the winning side of this new economic reality… It’s all laid out for you here. Good investing, Porter Stansberry Thursday's Exclusive Content Amazon's $8 Billion Generac Deal Shows AI's New Power Bottleneck Author: Sam Quirke. Article Published: 9/22/2026. Key Points Amazon struck a deal worth up to $8 billion with Generac Holdings to secure backup generators for its expanding network of AI data centers. The agreement highlights how reliable power supply, rather than just chips or software, has become a critical bottleneck in the AI infrastructure race. Amazon's capital spending is set to hit $220 billion this year, pushing free cash flow negative and raising investor concerns about returns on AI investment. Special Report: The $15 Gold Fund That Pays Up to $1,152/Month (From Investors Alley) When a company signs a deal to buy backup generators, it rarely counts as market-moving news. But when that company is Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and the deal is tied to powering its ever-growing network of AI data centers, it says something important about the state of the AI boom and where the real bottlenecks now lie. The arrangement with Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), worth up to $8 billion over time, with approximately $2.4 billion committed up front, offers a glimpse into a truth the market is only beginning to grasp: the race to dominate AI is no longer just about chips and software, but also about something far more mundane and fundamental—keeping the lights on. As the buildout accelerates, reliable power has quietly become one of the most valuable commodities in technology. The energy story near the Grand Canyon (Ad) The largest energy source on Earth contains 50,000 times every oil and gas reserve on the planet combined - and much of it sits beneath the desert near the Grand Canyon. A drilling crew just hit the DOE's 2035 targets twelve years early, with costs down 50% in 18 months. Google signed on, Gates invested, and the Pentagon made it a priority. One company has been quietly building this infrastructure for sixty years. See the company sitting on the biggest energy source on Earth With Amazon shares continuing to drift below the all-time high they set in August, the question for investors is what this scramble for power could mean for both the business and the stock. Why Power Is the New Battleground The logic behind the deal is simple enough. AI data centers have insatiable appetites for electricity as they run vast banks of expensive computers around the clock. Even a brief power outage could disrupt cloud services and leave costly hardware sitting idle. Reliable backup power, then, isn't a luxury but a necessity for companies like Amazon. What makes it so strategically important right now is the scale involved. Amazon is building out its data-center empire at a breakneck pace and is reportedly expected to have twice as much power capacity by the end of 2027 as it had in 2025. Securing generators and the manufacturing capacity to build them well in advance has become just as vital as ordering the chips that go inside. There's an irony here worth noting. Despite the AI revolution carrying us ever deeper into a world of cloud computing and automation, the constraints are shifting in the opposite direction—from the digital back to the physical. Power grids, generator lead times and shovel-ready sites now matter as much as the advanced chips everyone is talking about, and sometimes more. A Signal of Just How Big Amazon’s Ambitions Are Step back, and the deal says a great deal about the scale of Amazon's ambitions. Spending billions to guarantee the electricity that keeps its data centers running is not the act of a company dabbling in AI, but of one placing it at the center of its future. It also highlights how far Amazon has come. Once known primarily for its online store, the company is increasingly a technology and infrastructure giant, pouring resources into the computing power that businesses and AI developers are clamoring for. When even backup generators warrant a multibillion-dollar deal, it's clear that AI has become central to the entire enterprise. It also speaks to Amazon's willingness to spend whatever it takes to stay ahead. Few companies could commit sums like this to a single piece of the puzzle, and fewer still would choose to. That readiness to invest so heavily, so early, is precisely what excites the bulls—and exactly what should worry everyone else. The Price of All This Ambition However, the cost of going all-in also forms the crux of the bear case. Building AI infrastructure on this scale requires staggering sums, and Amazon's capital spending is already set to hit $220 billion this year. This torrent of investment has pushed free cash flow into negative territory and made more than a few investors nervous. The concern is that all those data centers, chips and now generators will pay off only if customers are willing to pay enough for AI services to cover the enormous cost of providing them. If demand cools or the economics prove less attractive than expected, Amazon could end up with a lot of expensive, underused equipment. A Calculated Bet Worth Backing Weighing it all, the recent deal with Generac could be seen as a small but revealing sign of a company investing aggressively and intelligently to cement its lead in AI. Yes, the amount being spent is enormous, but it allows Amazon to address the physical bottlenecks that could otherwise hold it back. This cash burn and the ongoing margin questions are real, and cautious investors are right to watch whether all this spending ultimately pays off. However, the same aggressive spending that worries the bears is exactly what has kept Amazon ahead for decades. For those who believe AI demand is here to stay, Amazon looks well positioned to be among its biggest winners. It's spending what it takes to stay ahead and ensuring that the vast computing power it is building actually has the electricity to run. Deals like this one, unglamorous as they might be, could prove to be exactly the kind of foresight that keeps Amazon at the front of the pack for years to come. .   © 2026 StockNews.com | MarketBeat Media, LLC 345 N Reid Place Sioux Falls, SD 57103, United States Unsubscribe

Bonus Article from MarketBeat AI Panic Hit Tech Stocks—But NVIDIA’s Growth Engine Is Intact Reported by Thomas Hughes. Posted: 9/16/2026. Key Points Despite calls to slow AI model advancement, infrastructure demand remains strong, with backlogs and capital expenditure plans expanding significantly across hyperscalers in Q2. NVIDIA maintains a nearly 97% Buy-side analyst consensus with no Sell ratings, and its consensus price target implies more than 50% upside from current levels. Inference workloads, led by companies like Advanced Micro Devices, are poised to accelerate data center buildout as AI infrastructure shifts from training toward profitable monetization. Special Report: A Wall Street Veteran's Weekly Options Strategy Explained (From Base Camp Trading) AI leaders shocked the world by calling for a slowdown in AI’s advancement and increased regulation. The news triggered a sector-wide drawdown, raising the risk of a deeper correction, but short sellers shouldn’t get their hopes up. As concerning as this may seem to AI investors, a slowdown in AI’s advancement is unlikely to affect the infrastructure buildout. For the market, more advanced AI models are not the primary issue. Labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic already have highly capable—and potentially dangerous—versions. What matters is the infrastructure needed to deploy practical AI across the enterprise landscape. The $15 Gold Fund That Pays Up to $1,152/Month (Ad) Gold is hitting record highs, but most investors are leaving income on the table. A $15 fund is quietly paying out up to $1,152 a month to regular investors - no mining stocks, no options, no physical metal required. Chief Income Strategist Tim Plaehn calls it a breakthrough strategy that transforms gold's rally into reliable monthly payouts. The next distribution is just days away. Discover the gold income fund before the next payout date The market is getting this wrong: safety and capacity aren’t the same thing. AI demand is not collapsing. Q2 results from NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) to Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), and nearly every AI-capable company in between, point to accelerating infrastructure demand. In this scenario, September’s price weakness represents a good opportunity to buy these stocks, with catalysts for further gains still ahead. The AI Boom Hasn’t Really Boomed (Yet) Key details for investors to watch include backlogs, utilization rates, persistent pricing power and the potential for capital expenditure (CapEx) relief. Q2 backlogs expanded at a historic pace, increasing by triple digits at Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Dell (NYSE: DELL) and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI). Critical players such as Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), now ubiquitous across cloud instances regardless of the hyperscaler, saw backlogs grow to more than $650 billion. Meanwhile, neoclouds such as Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) reported even larger increases, with Nebius’s backlog growing fourfold. CapEx plans among the leading hyperscalers total more than $700 billion, underscoring the scale of current spending. Utilization rates matter because they are near 100%, even for older, legacy technology. The takeaway is that technology transitions from model training and advanced computing to inference as it ages, providing a long runway for cash flow and asset utilization. This is a foundational factor in NVIDIA’s ability to securitize its GPUs, enabling institutional investors such as retirement funds to invest in the resulting cash flows. The catalyst for stock price gains will be the monetization of existing assets, which coincides with improved profitability. Hyperscalers dialing back ultra-expensive frontier-model development could free up cash flow, removing the primary hurdle facing stock prices today. The upfront cost of AI infrastructure is significant, impairing cash flow and profitability for many AI-related companies. AI CapEx Fears Haven’t Derailed the Infrastructure Trade Q2 reporting was spectacular, with results significantly outpacing consensus estimates across the board. However, analysts remained skeptical of CapEx plans and a rapidly differentiating market, causing stocks to move in different directions. For now, AI infrastructure names, including NVIDIA, remain the big winners because they are the focus of current spending. Wedbush pointed out that the buildout is moving slightly faster than adoption, which is a root cause of concern. For investors, the takeaway is that slowing spending on AI models could improve profitability while freeing up cash to meet existing CapEx plans. Wall Street Keeps Raising the Bar for NVIDIA NVIDIA is the most important stock in AI today, providing the core infrastructure and software that make the technology possible. Its analyst trends are as strong as they could be. MarketBeat shows coverage increasing month over month, along with a firm Buy consensus rating and nearly 97% Buy-side bias. Currently, the company carries no Sell ratings, and the consensus price target implies more than 50% upside. The price-target trend is significant, as revisions in August and September have pushed the consensus higher. The high-end target places the stock at $515, representing more than 100% upside, and even that forecast may prove conservative. Valuation metrics suggest NVIDIA is 50% undervalued today based simply on its price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple. The stock is trading in the low 20s, compared with its historical mid-30s range. Longer term, the stock is trading at pennies on the dollar relative to its potential—approximately five times the five-year outlook—suggesting it could rise by 400% to 600% over the coming years. The Inference Boom Is About to Happen Inference is accelerating today, heading toward a boom that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) will help unleash. Its Helios racks provide hyperscalers with numerous benefits, including greater inference speed, lower costs and improved profitability. Investors should remember that model training represents the “upfront” cost of AI, while inference drives back-end monetization. With this in mind, we can expect the data center buildout to continue at full speed, if not accelerate, over the coming quarters as AI inference reaches critical mass. The biggest risks for AI are bottlenecks in GPU and memory supply, as well as constraints involving energy and water. These factors are slowing the buildout but also creating opportunities. Companies such as Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), Bloom Energy (NASDAQ: BE) and AirJoule (NASDAQ: AIRJ) provide technologies that help overcome these hurdles and enable data centers to operate with minimal impact on local communities. Another risk involves the upcoming elections, which are likely to serve as a referendum on AI. The outcome will have far-reaching ramifications but is unlikely to end the buildout. Established AI companies could benefit from increased regulatory oversight, as it may widen their competitive moats by making it harder for new AI labs to enter the market and reducing the risk of disruption. If increased regulation does not materialize, these companies will have free rein to continue building their city-sized supercomputers. .     Update your email preferences or unsubscribe here © 2026 Alpha Signals | MarketBeat Media, LLC 345 N Reid Place, Suite 620 Sioux Falls, SD 57103, United States

Normies are about to get killed

and they won't see it coming.

View in browser I'll tell you the most boring political issue there is, and why it's destined to become the most, well, interesting. "Government spending." Maybe in the 1980s there was some serious interest in reining in government spending, even if there was no political will to do it. Today? Nobody cares. Nobody cares because people would rather vote themselves money than "cut government spending." Nobody cares because even the "Tea Party" of 15 years ago could find only one area of government spending a majority of them wanted to cut, and that was the minuscule portion of the budget that goes to foreign aid. Nobody cares because by now everyone has figured out that it simply isn't going to happen. Should they care? Of course. But that's not the question. Well, this morning our old friend Peter Schiff wrote the following: "In a few years the national debt will be $50 trillion. If by then we pay 8% interest, the annual bill will be $4 trillion, and annual budget deficits will likely be $7 trillion. How will we pay for that? Triple the income tax? Eliminate all entitlements and most federal programs?" Ron Paul warned that this day would come, and suggested that the best way to cope with it was to try to adapt immediately so we could have the softest possible landing, rather than have to introduce radical changes all at once. Nobody wanted that. They wanted flattering slogans. This is the situation in which the great Larry Lepard, in his important book The Big Print, says the Fed will be reduced to having to do just that: a massive money-printing binge. There will be no other course of action left. I mentioned yesterday that since 2020 the dollar has lost a mind-boggling 29 percent of its value. Imagine what happens during the big print. I am not the financial newsletter guy who puts out crazy headlines in all caps trying to scare people to death. You know that. But I think we do need to be intensely concerned about this. This isn't one of those sky-is-falling predictions that never comes true. This one has to come true. And the normie is going to get killed. What will have been the point of being a dissident if, when the big print comes, you and I wind up no better off than the average person? I know someone who was a Bitcoin proponent to the point of almost being obnoxious. Then Bitcoin had its enormous spike. She was surely a millionaire now. Except no: she owned no Bitcoin at all. We can do better than that. Here's a course of action that not only won't cost you a cent, but will also give you plenty of solid options to consider when thinking about how you yourself plan to shelter your family through what is inevitably coming: the online summit Joe Withrow (a member of one of my mastermind programs) is putting on. I strongly urge you to attend -- this is a case of: there's no one coming to save us, so let's learn from the smarties in our own world. So we're talking gold, Bitcoin, stocks, real estate, mortgage notes, royalties, macro analysis, tax structure, and privacy -- in one week, from people who actually work in each of those markets. I've known some of these people for years: Neal McSpadden hosted a tax masterclass for me, Marc Tancer is the coin dealer I bought the silver rounds from that I used as prizes aboard the Tom Woods Cruise last month, I've had dinner in Buenos Aires with Nick Giambruno, Wesley Schlemmer has spoken at one of my conferences -- these are good and reliable guys, I assure you. Not only is this online summit free to attend, but it was actually my idea, and I'm thrilled Joe decided to run with it.

Controller Never Warned Amazon Jet of Tail Wind, NTSB Finds An air traffic controller failed to warn the Amazon pilots about possible strong tail winds before their cargo jet ran off a Miami runway Sept. 6, killing five.

Friday's Jobs Report Will Tell What it is: The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its September jobs report on Friday, and Wall Street expects 84,000 new jobs with the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. That would follow a surprisingly strong August, when employers added 162,000 jobs, and the government also revised its job counts for earlier months higher than first reported. The detail: Payroll growth has averaged 80,000 a month in 2026 but swung wildly, from a loss of 156,000 jobs in February to a gain of 214,000 in March. Paychecks are cooling too, with average hourly earnings expected to rise 3.1% from a year earlier in September, down from around 4% at the start of the year. Why it matters: For job seekers, the picture is stable but tough, with one Allianz Trade economist noting that openings and hiring are both creeping down while finding new work stays hard. Worker confidence also hit a record low in September on Glassdoor's survey, the third time this year, as anxiety over job security, economic uncertainty and inflation mounts. What to watch: The key figure Friday is whether payrolls land near the 84,000 forecast, since a big miss in either direction would break the stable but unspectacular pattern economists describe. Also watch whether unemployment holds at 4.1%, a level near full employment, and whether wage growth keeps slowing from the roughly 4% pace seen in January.             PHYSICAL GOLD PLANNING Could Gold Fit into Your Legacy Plan?
