There are five things they will never tell you.

Five things every American must know. Five things that could either massively enrich you or completely destroy you depending on the moves you make today. 

If you’re honest with yourself, none of these things should surprise you… you already know about them. Deep down you can feel them. Even when you try to ignore them. 

And you already know these problems aren’t going away. They won’t magically fix themselves. Nobody is coming to your rescue. You need to take action into your own hands. 

Read the list below and tell me where I’m wrong… 

#1. The government is bankrupt.

It’s lying about inflation because every percentage point higher in CPI automatically raises Social Security’s liabilities. Those liabilities now exceed $100 trillion.

They can’t be financed. Not without destroying the dollar. 

Think Rome, when it could no longer afford free grain for its citizens. Think Europe after World War I, when nations tried to print their way out of impossible debts.

The real-world rate of inflation is not 3% or 4%. 

I’d bet it’s closer to 12%+ in America’s major cities and growing.

Every dollar you earn buys less each month… and that decline is accelerating.

#2. Your savings are being vaporized.

Virtually all your dollar-based assets — cash in the bank, 401(k), wages — will lose half their value in the next four years.

Grocery prices, housing, healthcare, insurance… you’ve seen what’s happened since 2009. Now imagine it all doubling again by 2029. That’s the future we’re heading toward if you stand still.

#3. AI will save the private sector but not you.

Artificial intelligence will help companies survive inflation. 

But it will do it by displacing millions of people.Private sector employment will shrink by double digits every year for at least the next decade. Law, accounting, finance, even medicine—white-collar work is being displaced at a speed no one is prepared for.

And those in government jobs or fixed pensions?

They’ll be wiped out entirely as deficits and inflation devour their real income.

#4. The violence hasn’t even begun.

Since 2009, we’ve seen the opening act—crime, riots, political rage.

But as the dollar collapses, a civil fracture is inevitable. Those closest to the flow of new money (what economists call the Cantillon Effect) will grow richer. Everyone else will struggle to survive.

It’s the same pattern that’s ended every empire in history.

#5. These “problems” represent an unprecedented transfer of wealth. 

For people who understand the economics behind this societal and financial collapse, this crisis represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to amass multi-generational wealth. 

I’m not describing a theory. I’m not describing an idea. Or a forecast. I’m not talking about something that might happen, some day. I’m talking about what’s happening right now. 

This has been happening since the bailouts began in 2009. 

I’ve been writing about these issues, virtually every day, since. 

When I first warned about these problems America still had a AAA credit rating. Occupy Wall Street hadn’t happened yet. Nor BLM. Or Covid lockdowns. Or our government forcing us to take vaccines. 

I gave anyone who was worried the complete blueprint to save themselves: gold, great businesses, Bitcoin… and avoid the dollar at all costs. 

But now, with the advent of a new technological force, there is one final step we urge you to take to ensure your wealth is not only safeguarded but continues to compound going forward.

And you must take it now.

Because the forces at work here are moving at breakneck pace.

If you bury your head in the sand, you could be left behind as one of the greatest transfers of wealth ever unfolds. Don’t let that happen to you. I share everything you need to know here:

Forget the Chips: 4 Industrial Plays for the AI Rebound

Written by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Posted: 12/18/2025. 

Article Highlights

• Industrial infrastructure companies are seeing surging demand for cooling and power systems needed to support high-density artificial intelligence data centers.
• Global water technology leaders are securing higher earnings by providing the essential liquid cooling and management systems required for modern computing.
• Advanced nuclear energy providers are establishing commercial pipelines to deliver carbon-free baseload power, ensuring constant uptime for critical facilities.

In mid-December 2025, the market experienced a notable psychological shift. High-flying semiconductor stocks, which had led the market for months, faced heavy selling pressure after earnings from major tech players such as Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). Investors began to question the near-term return on massive capital expenditures in artificial intelligence (AI), triggering a rotation away from chipmakers—the so-called “brains” of AI systems.

Yet while the market debates which chip architecture will prevail, the physical demands of AI remain unchanged. Data centers are factories that convert electricity into intelligence, and they require regulated power, extensive cooling capacity, and sophisticated water management to operate.

Wall Street Stock picker Names #1 Stock of 2026 (Ad)

50-year Wall Street legend issues urgent 2026 stock warning

The warning signs are everywhere – even Wall Street’s own CEOs are calling for a selloff. But before you sell a single stock, there’s something you need to see. One of Wall Street’s longest insiders is stepping forward with his own market warning. The last time he did this, retail investors went on to lose nearly 50% of their wealth.Here’s what to do with your stocks NOW to prepare.

As capital shifts from the volatile chip sector to the industrial backbone of the AI revolution, a fresh set of investment opportunities has emerged. Industrial giants providing the essential utilities that keep the digital economy running are trading at more attractive valuations. Unlike chipmakers—whose valuations often hinge on speculative adoption curves—these infrastructure firms rely on signed contracts and engineering constraints.

The Cool Defensive Anchor: Johnson Controls International

Johnson Controls International (NYSE: JCI)stands out as a defensive cornerstone in a volatile market. While the broader technology sectorslipped in mid-December, JCI shares held up well, rising roughly 1.7% during the sell-off. That resilience reflects the company’s strategic shift into a pure-play commercial building solutions provider.

In July 2025, JCI closed the sale of its residential and light commercial HVAC business to Bosch for $5.6 billion—a move that removed cyclical residential exposure and sharpened the company’s focus on higher-growth commercial opportunities. JCI is now aggressively targeting data-center thermal management.

The firm’s financial footing supports this strategy. JCI reported a record backlog of $16.6 billion, providing clear revenue visibility into 2026. That backlog helps insulate the company from short-term swings in chip demand because many of these projects are committed infrastructure orders that must be completed regardless of market sentiment.

On the technology front, JCI is positioning itself for the heat-management transition. In September 2025 the company launched a Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) designed for liquid-cooling systems that keep high-density AI servers from overheating. Management has also implemented an aggressive share repurchase program, which acts as an additional support for the stock during market turbulence.

The Power & Thermal Giant: Eaton Corporation

Eaton Corporation (NYSE: ETN) is benefiting from two secular trends at once: electrical-grid modernization and the rapid adoption of liquid cooling. After a run-up, Eaton’s stock recently retraced to around $328, down roughly 18% from its highs—presenting a potential entry point for long-term investors.

The most consequential catalyst is Eaton’s $9.5 billion acquisition of Boyd Thermal, announced in November 2025. The deal transforms Eaton from a company focused largely on switchgear and power management into a provider that can both power racks and cool the chips inside them by adding Boyd’s cold-plate and liquid-cooling technology.

That combination materially increases Eaton’s addressable market per data-center rack. Evidence of accelerating demand appears in Eaton’s third-quarter 2025 results, where orders in its Electrical Americas segment rose about 70%, driven primarily by data-center projects. To meet this surge, Eaton committed a $50 million investment in a Virginia facility to ramp production of grid-to-chip power-distribution systems—concrete capital deployment behind management’s bullish outlook.

The Essential Resource: Xylem Inc.

Water is an often-overlooked constraint for high-performance computing. Large data centers consume significant volumes of water for cooling loops, and moving that liquid efficiently requires specialized pumps and smart metering. Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL) is a dominant player that keeps these systems running.

While water technologies are typically seen as slow-growth, Xylem is posting growth metrics more commonly associated with tech companies. In the third quarter of 2025, Xylem reported revenue growth of 7.8% and a 23% increase in adjusted earnings per share. That growth is driven in part by urgent demand for efficient water management in industrial applications, including data centers.

Strategically, Xylem is sharpening its portfolio toward higher-margin opportunities. The company recently divested its international metering business for $125 million, with the sale expected to close in early 2026. By focusing resources on the more profitable North American market and using pricing power to offset tariff headwinds, management is protecting margins and reinforcing a resilient growth story.

The Future of Baseload: NuScale Power

As data centers expand, the intermittency of solar and wind is becoming more evident. AI training workloads require continuous, 24/7 power, and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a carbon-free option that can provide reliable baseload electricity. NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) is one of the companies leading this energy transition.

In September 2025 NuScale reached a commercial milestone by signing an agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and ENTRA1 to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of SMR capacity. That deal shifts SMR technology from concept toward a commercial pipeline with tangible scale, validating the approach for future customers.

NuScale has also addressed liquidity concerns: the company held $753.8 million in cash and investments with no debt, giving it runways to advance manufacturing without immediate equity dilution. For investors comfortable with higher volatility, NuScale offers a high-growth way to play the long-term evolution of energy generation.

Infrastructure Over Hype: Buying the Builders

The recent recalibration of semiconductor valuations has created potential mispricings in companies that build the industrial backbone of the AI economy. While chipmakers’ valuations often depend on speculative software adoption and margin assumptions, infrastructure firms are backed by signed contracts, engineering constraints, and substantial order backlogs. By investing in the providers of power, cooling, water, and baseload energy, investors can capture secular growth tied to AI while adding industrial stability to their portfolios.
