Dear Reader,
In 2022, I told my readers to buy Rolls-Royce.
The stock was trading under $2.
Most people thought I was out of my mind.
But I saw something the market didn't.
A world-class aerospace company hidden beneath the name of a luxury car brand.
In short, there was a massive disconnect between price and reality.
The stock eventually climbed more than 1,100% over a 3–4-year period
Over that time, some subscribers reported making $141,000.
Others reported $272,000.
One told us he'd made more than $1 million.
I'm not bringing up Rolls-Royce to relive an old winner.
I'm bringing it up because the setup I'm looking at today feels familiar.
A misunderstood technology.
A market that's barely paying attention.
And a catalyst that could force investors to take a second look.
The technology is what I call the Energy Cube.
Bill Gates has backed companies tied to it.
Jeff Bezos has backed companies tied to it.
Google and Microsoft are making billion-dollar commitments in the same direction.
Yet most investors still have no idea this story exists.
That may change this August.
A major government milestone is expected.
And if it unfolds the way many expect, Wall Street could suddenly start paying attention to a company that's been hiding in plain sight.
The market eventually figured out Rolls-Royce.
I believe it may be about to figure this one out, too.

Yours in smart speculation,

Even CEOs Need Cash: Insider Selling Is Not the Only Signal in AI Stocks
Submitted by Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 6/30/2026.
Key Points
- Institutional buying in NVIDIA, Astera Labs, Snowflake, Datadog, and CoreWeave offsets broad insider selling, suggesting share prices may continue rising.
- Datadog and Astera Labs face near-term correction risks, as analyst price targets indicate limited upside following significant recent stock price gains.
- The rapid pace of AI development poses systemic risks, including potential bubbles and disruptive breakthroughs that could unsettle the broader AI trade.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
Insider selling isn’t the red flag it once was. Many C-suite executives, particularly in the tech industry, receive a significant portion of their compensation in stock, and regulations now tightly cover the industry. The simple fact is that it’s very hard for insiders to sell on inside information without getting caught: penalties of up to 25 years in prison are ample incentive not to do so. Insider buying is a far more reliable signal, as insiders typically don’t need to buy more stock if they already have exposure. Unless, of course, they think the stock price will rise.
Insider Selling Is a Contrarian Signal in 2026
In today’s market, insider sales are often driven by prearranged 10b5-1 trading plans that insulate insiders from prosecution while helping them lock in profits and earned income, diversify personal holdings, and raise money for taxes. Even CEOs need to raise cash sometimes. The more important details involve other market dynamics, including the institutions and analysts that drive them.
Trump is replacing the U.S. dollar (Ad)
Porter Stansberry says a dollar reset is underway - one that has happened only once before in America's 250-year history, back in 1974 with a secret Saudi deal that reshaped an entire generation's wealth.
Today, a landmark treaty called Pax Silica - signed by 13 nations in December 2025 and barely covered in the press - is at the center of what Fortune calls 'the biggest change to the world's relationship with the dollar' in a generation. The stocks to buy, the assets to avoid, and the moves to consider are outlined in Stansberry's new briefing.
Read the full briefing and see how to position yourself nowInsiders can sell all they want; if institutions and analysts are buying shares, the likely outcome is that share prices will soon rise. While insiders are selling into rallies in names like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB), Snowflake (NASDAQ: SNOW), Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG), and CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), their market dynamics continue to align with rising markets. The question is whether to buy them now or wait for better opportunities later this year.
Insider Selling Trends Mirrored Across Stocks: Institutions Are Buying
Insider statistics for these stocks reveal several common patterns. First, insiders have considerable exposure, owning an average of more than 9% of these companies, with NVIDIA at 3.95% and CoreWeave at 20%, the highest. Insider selling is broad-based, involving numerous directors, founders, and C-suite executives, including CEOs, CFOs, and COOs. While activity is either ramping in 2026 or holding steady near long-term highs, that is unsurprising given the stock price gains over the past few years. Average gains run in the triple digits, with many stocks up significantly on a trailing 12-month (TTM) and year-to-date basis.
Institutions are bullish on these names, having accumulated shares in each over the TTM period. However, activity is mixed for some, with quarterly balances reflecting distribution despite the TTM balance. Stocks with institutional headwinds, as indicated by the Q2 activity, include NVIDIA and Snowflake, although those trends are likely to reverse in the upcoming quarter. Both are well-positioned for the AI boom, though in different ways: NVIDIA is likely to beat consensus estimates again in its Q2 fiscal 2027 release, while Snowflake is expected to show further acceleration.
Tech stocks with institutional tailwinds as Q2 2026 comes to a close include Astera Labs and CoreWeave. Astera Labs institutions have bought on balance for more than eight consecutive quarters, running at a $2-to-$1 TTM pace, with activity holding strong in Q2. CoreWeave’s institutional activity shows the group is buying on a TTM basis and aggressively ramping into Q2, underpinning the stock’s gains.
Analysts Drive the Action: Some Markets Set Up for Corrections
Analysts’ trends are bullish, including steady or rising coverage and higher price targets, but there are some risks in the data. While NVIDIA’s, Snowflake’s, and CoreWeave’s analysts are leading their markets, indicating substantial double-digit upside at consensus and trends pointing to the high end, Astera Labs’ and Datadog’s upside is limited in the near term.
Datadog’s nearly 120% April-to-June surge has left the stock looking close to fairly valued, while Astera Labs trades well above its consensus target and near the high end of its expected range. Both stocks could be vulnerable to pullbacks or consolidation near late-June levels unless fresh catalysts give investors another reason to keep buying. Those catalysts could arrive during the next earnings cycle, with Astera Labs expected to report in early August, Datadog and CoreWeave expected a day later, and NVIDIA and Snowflake expected later in the month.
The biggest risk for these stocks is the unprecedented speed at which the AI revolution is unfolding. At this pace, the push for speed and power over safety raises red flags and may lead to bubbles, systemic vulnerabilities, and distrust.
As it stands, the AI bubble continues to swell and is unlikely to stop soon. Inference is taking center stage, and with it comes a new wave of infrastructure needs. Individual risks include competition. AI underpins each company’s strengths, but it also creates a virtuous cycle in which new technology leads to further development and even newer, more powerful technology. In this environment, a game-changing advance can emerge at any time, potentially disrupting the entire AI trade.
KBR Insiders Are Buying While the Market Misreads Its Spinoff
Submitted by Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 7/6/2026.
Key Points
- KBR insiders bought shares in May as the company continued preparing to spin off Mission Technology Solutions.
- KBR’s analyst consensus is Hold, but the average price target still implies substantial upside from early July levels.
- The planned separation could help investors better value KBR’s government services and sustainable technology businesses.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
KBR (NYSE: KBR) insiders, specifically a trio of directors and the CFO, bought shares in May, signaling confidence in the company’s health and the stock’s deep value. Trading at multi-year lows, KBR shares were valued at pennies on the dollar relative to long-term forecasts, with a value-unlocking catalyst in the works. The company plans to spin off its two segments as standalone pure plays later this year, enabling greater focus and flexibility for each and potentially unlocking solid triple-digit gains for investors.
Investors can capitalize on the spin-off by buying KBR shares ahead of the closing date, which has not yet been announced. The deal will likely include a dual-listing period during which KBR shares may be bought on a pre- and post-spin basis until the official closing.

Porter Stansberry says a dollar reset is underway - one that has happened only once before in America's 250-year history, back in 1974 with a secret Saudi deal that reshaped an entire generation's wealth.
Today, a landmark treaty called Pax Silica - signed by 13 nations in December 2025 and barely covered in the press - is at the center of what Fortune calls 'the biggest change to the world's relationship with the dollar' in a generation. The stocks to buy, the assets to avoid, and the moves to consider are outlined in Stansberry's new briefing.
Read the full briefing and see how to position yourself nowThe resulting companies will be a capital-light government and defense contractor with long-term contracts and visible revenue—the spin-off company (SpinCo)—and an asset-light green tech business with higher margins and growth, the ongoing company. The latter is the leading segment and, as of mid-2026, is expected to end the year up by the mid-teens percentage range, with backlog expanding and book-to-bill remaining strong.
The Sell-Side Has Confidence in KBR’s Spinoff
Institutional and analyst trends reflect a high degree of confidence in KBR’s business, growth prospects, and ability to return capital to shareholders. Institutions, which collectively own 97% of the stock, have accumulated aggressively as share prices declined and continue to provide support in early Q3. Analyst trends are more mixed than outright bullish, with the consensus rating at Hold based on 10 analysts, including five Buy ratings, four Hold ratings and one Sell rating. The price targets remain compelling: the low end aligns with early July support, suggesting a market floor may be in place, while the consensus forecast implies nearly 45% upside.
The valuation metrics suggest that 45% upside is a conservative target. Among the expectations is that the spin-off will unlock shareholder value for both entities. As it stands, the market discounts KBR, with lower margins in one business offsetting higher margins in the other, and that mismatch is hindering capital allocation. Trading at 9x current-year earnings, the spinco trades at a more than 50% discount to peers that have historically bought back shares aggressively, while the ongoing business is considered a hidden gem.
KBR’s Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) is an industry-leading, higher-margin business and a technology-first platform with potential for a premium valuation. In this scenario, it could trade at 30x or higher, provided the underlying results reflect the expected strengths. Stock price gains in the STS segment could reach triple digits, potentially as high as 200%, even without any lift from growth expectations. Some sum-of-the-parts valuation breakdowns suggest the existing discount is as high as $60 to $80 per share, aligning with the outlook for triple-digit upside.
KBR is experiencing weakness and contraction in 2026, but that weakness is due to one-offs. A wind-down of legacy businesses within Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) is pressuring top-line results, but the shift to next-gen technology is reflected in margins. Looking ahead, the Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) business is forecast to return to growth in 2027 and accelerate in subsequent years, underpinned by its $18.5 billion backlog and a large AI- and space-based pipeline.
Execution Risks Are Overblown
Aside from its near-term headwinds, KBR’s biggest risk lies in execution. The spin-off is expected to create some friction because of the deal's complexity, but bears may be overstating the impact. A lack of overlap is one of the main reasons the company is pursuing the spin-off, leaving the capital structure as the primary hurdle.
Fitch has the company on ratings watch negative due to uncertainty, given the potential for KBR to emerge as a debt-heavy entity with impaired cash flow. The risk is that KBR loses its near-investment-grade status, raising its cost of capital and further pressuring cash flow.
Capital returns are critical to this investment. KBR is a cash-flow and capital-return machine, paying an attractive dividend while aggressively buying back shares. The dividend, with an approximately 1.8% annualized yield as of early July, is reliable, accounting for less than 20% of the earnings forecast, and is overshadowed by buybacks. The buybacks reduced the share count by nearly 3.8% on a trailing 12-month basis as of fiscal Q1, providing significant leverage.
Investors should consider that retail traders have completely mispriced KBR’s upcoming spin-off. Near-term headwinds have clouded their vision, preventing them from recognizing the scope of the MTS segment’s $18.5 billion backlog, its position in critical markets, and the margin-unlocking potential for STS. Additionally, the executive transition isn’t the shake-up or “friction” anticipated, but rather a strategic repositioning, with SpinCo executives viewed as credible industry veterans. The likely outcome is that KBR executes its spin-off with relative ease, clearing the path for share prices to rise.
