A message from Porter & Company
My name is Porter Stansberry.
I’m the founder of one of the largest financial research firms in the world. Over the last 26 years we’ve helped investors navigate almost every major economic cycle.
We’ve also been on the forefront of every big financial story from the rise of Bitcoin and MRNA vaccines to robotics and artificial intelligence – just to name a few.
But today, I’m breaking the biggest story of my career…
An economic story the likes of which we’ve not seen in centuries. In fact, the last – and only time – this happened was in 1776. But now, on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary, it’s happening again.
And as you’ll discover today, the aftershock of this event could “reset” not just your personal wealth, but the entire U.S. economic system:
How you work, how you vote, how you protect and build your wealth… it’s all being turned upside down by what one famous Stanford economist says is:
“The biggest change ever… bigger than electricity… bigger than the steam engine.”
Yet almost nobody is prepared for it. So, 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 means for you, your money, and your investment portfolio in the months ahead
Because as you’ll discover, 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 is, without a doubt, 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 my guest and I explain, the financial decisions you make in the face of this New 1776 Moment… they could dictate whether you’re enriched, left stuck in the past, or potentially even impoverished by the seismic changes barreling down upon America.
The stocks to buy… the stocks to sell… and the three money moves to ensure you and your loved ones end up on the winning side of this new economic reality.
It’s all laid out here for you…
Good investing,
Porter Stansberry

Rivian Is About to Challenge Tesla Where It Hurts Most
Reported by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Published: 3/11/2026.
Key Points
- A series of significant analyst upgrades indicates growing Wall Street confidence in Rivian’s strategic direction and future growth prospects.

- Demonstrating a clear path to profitability, Rivian achieved its first full year of positive gross profit and is leveraging high-value technology.
- Special Report: The table went quiet… [my meeting with Tether Gold](From Golden Portfolio)
A chill has settled over the electric vehicle (EV) market. After years of rapid, triple-digit expansion, the industry is navigating slower sales growth and heightened investor caution. This EV winter has forced automakers to recalibrate ambitious production targets and engage in aggressive price competition to spur demand.
Yet amid this cooling sentiment, a counter-current is forming around Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN). The electric-adventure vehicle maker is attracting renewed positive attention from Wall Street analysts, suggesting it may decouple from broader industry trends. The catalyst is clear: the imminent launch of the R2 platform, a vehicle designed to move Rivian from a niche player toward the mass market — a storyline that could reshape investor expectations.
The Rivian R2 Could Be a Defining Moment for Rivian Automotive
The table went quiet… [my meeting with Tether Gold] (Ad)
A major force in the crypto world is quietly becoming one of gold’s most aggressive buyers — and most investors have no idea it’s happening.
A longtime gold analyst says profits from a leading stablecoin operation are being funneled into physical gold at a scale that could materially impact supply and demand. After a recent meeting with insiders, he began outlining what this trend could mean for gold prices and a small group of companies positioned to benefit.Read the full gold briefing here
Analyst confidence sharpened on March 10, 2026, when TD Cowen upgraded the stock to Buy and raised its price target to $20. That move follows similar positive revisions from firms such as Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB) and UBS (NYSE: UBS). For investors, these upgrades signal that analysts see a clearer path to future growth than the current stock price may reflect.
The bullish thesis centers on the R2 platform. The new midsize SUV is intended for the mainstream consumer market with a starting price near $45,000, positioning it as a direct competitor to high-volume models like the Tesla Model Y. Analysts describe the R2 as Rivian’s potential “Model 3 moment” — a product that could prove the company’s ability to scale and materially expand revenue and market reach, much as the Model 3 did for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
Before the Model 3, Tesla was a smaller, higher-risk automaker selling a limited number of premium vehicles. The Model 3’s successful production ramp demonstrated Tesla could scale, generate substantial revenue, and move toward sustained profitability — an inflection that transformed its valuation.
Wall Street is now betting the R2 can play a similar role for Rivian. A successful launch would not only add a meaningful revenue stream but also expand Rivian’s total addressable market and serve as a near-term catalyst for growth.
Product Cycle Divergence: New Metal vs. Next-Gen Tech
Part of the growing bullishness stems from a divergence in strategy and timelines compared with Tesla. The R2 is a new vehicle entering a high-demand segment, with customer deliveries expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026. That provides a clear, measurable driver for near-term revenue growth and brings renewed excitement to buyers looking for alternatives.
By contrast, Tesla’s narrative is increasingly focused on longer-term initiatives. Its dominant Model 3 and Model Y lineup is several years into its lifecycle and faces mounting competition. Tesla’s investor dialogue centers more on future-facing, harder-to-value projects like full self-driving, the Optimus robot, and applications of artificial intelligence. While those projects have significant upside, their revenue payoff is measured in years rather than quarters. That difference creates an opening: for investors seeking near-term growth tied directly to vehicle sales, Rivian’s product-led cadence can be a compelling alternative and the basis for an anti-Tesla trade.
How Rivian Plans to Win
The most important question for any growth company is the path to profitability, and Rivian has started to show tangible progress. Although Rivian posted a net loss in 2025, its financial results revealed a turning point: for the first time, Rivian reported a full year of positive consolidated gross profit, an improvement of more than $1.3 billion from the prior year. That reflects disciplined execution across manufacturing and operations.
Rivian also reported a year-over-year reduction in automotive cost of goods sold of roughly $9,500 per vehicle, evidence it can streamline production and manage its supply chain more efficiently.
That improving cost foundation is being reinforced by a multi-pronged strategy. The R2 platform is built for high-volume production to capture economies of scale, where unit costs fall as output rises. At the same time, Rivian is expanding higher-margin revenue streams through software and services. Its joint venture with the Volkswagen Group (OTCMKTS: VWAGY) already contributed meaningfully, generating $447 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone and providing income that is not solely dependent on vehicle sales.
Rivian’s technology stack has further validation: Mind Robotics, a spinout based on its AI and robotics IP, recently raised $500 million at a $2 billion valuation. Together, these data points suggest Rivian is building a broader, more sustainable business than a pure-play automaker.
The R2 Reveal: Rivian’s Moment of Truth
The renewed analyst conviction is not just speculation; it’s grounded in measurable cost improvements and the strategic rollout of a potentially category-defining product. The R2 launch positions Rivian as a product-led growth story at a time when the market leader is emphasizing longer-term technological bets.
The upcoming R2 reveal is more than a vehicle debut — it’s a critical data point for investors. Market reaction to the product and Rivian’s ability to execute the production ramp will determine whether this wave of bullish sentiment can lift the company into the next tier of global automakers.
