“This AI Giant is About to Go Bust”
Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you.
Dear reader,
I recently sat down with the famous economist and best-selling author…
Who predicted the biggest stock market crashes of the last two decades…
And he’s now predicting this AI giant is about to go bust…
Trigging a full-blown AI meltdown that could wipe out 80% of the stock market.
The first time I heard about it…
I thought he was talking about Nvidia.
But it’s another company he says is far more important.
Look, the stakes here couldn’t be any higher…
Because this is the same man who predicted the 2008 meltdown…
Just three weeks before Lehman Brothers imploded and the stock market collapsed.
And the same man who predicted the Covid meltdown…
Again just three weeks before the stock market suffered the fastest drop in history.
And now he’s predicting that this coming AI meltdown will be 10 times bigger than Lehman Brothers…
….and it could send a ripple effect through the market that could crater the entire AI industry.
And he’s warning everyone to take five simple steps to prepare.

Microsoft Positioned to Win AI Race With Dual-Model Strategy
Reported by Chris Markoch. Article Posted: 3/10/2026.
Key Points
- Microsoft chose its AI partnerships over federal compliance, continuing to offer Anthropic’s Claude despite Trump administration pressure to discontinue the product.
- Azure now powers both leading AI models, positioning Microsoft to profit whether enterprises choose Anthropic or OpenAI.
- The stock has fallen 15% in 2026 on AI bubble fears, but technical patterns suggest a potential reversal as institutional buyers accumulate shares.
- Special Report: Elon Musk: This Could Turn $100 into $100,000
The cyclical nature of funding for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure has weighed on technology stocks. However, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) recent announcement that it will continue to integrate Anthropic into its products, despite objections from the Trump administration, illustrates why those investments are paying off for users and shareholders.
Here’s the background. On March 5, the U.S. Department of Defense informed AI company Anthropic that it would designate the company a supply-chain risk and discontinue use of Anthropic’s products within six months. President Trump went one step further and called for all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic.

I Met Elon Musk “Face-to-Face”
During a private gathering of Wall Street elites, I was one of two people selected to speak with Elon personally.
As a result, my research now leads me to believe Elon will announce the SpaceX IPO on this date:

Microsoft was the first major company to announce it would keep Anthropic products, including Claude, available to its federal government customers, excluding the U.S. Department of Defense.
This isn’t just a symbolic gesture. In November 2025, Microsoft committed to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic, and Anthropic committed to purchase $30 billion of Azure compute capacity and to contract additional capacity of up to 1 gigawatt.
It’s been a meaningful commercial relationship. Microsoft spends roughly $500 million per year to use Anthropic AI across its products, and it allows Azure sales teams to count sales of Anthropic AI models toward their quotas.
The benefit to shareholders extends beyond the Anthropic tie-up. There’s also a bullish case for Microsoft from its ongoing partnership with OpenAI.
GPT-5.4 Launch Expands Microsoft’s AI Ecosystem
On the same day Microsoft said it was standing by Anthropic, OpenAI launched ChatGPT-5.4. OpenAI describes GPT-5.4 as its “most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.” It’s available as a standard model, a reasoning model (GPT-5.4 Thinking), and a high-performance variant labeled GPT-5.4 Pro.
Here’s where the story gets more interesting. By providing the computational horsepower for both Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft has positioned Azure as the critical cloud ecosystem for much of the AI environment.
Giving customers access to both models creates a “best model for the job” scenario. Microsoft can route tasks to whichever model performs best, so the company benefits regardless of which model customers prefer.
Azure’s Explosive Growth Is Being Fueled by AI Workloads
That model-agnostic position only holds value if the underlying infrastructure keeps scaling — and that’s exactly what Azure is doing. In Microsoft’s most recent earnings report, Azure surpassed $75 billion in annual revenue in fiscal 2025, growing 34% for the full year and 39% year-over-year for the quarter.
Growth is getting a significant boost from AI-related workloads embedded across the product stack as Copilot adoption spreads through Office, GitHub, and enterprise software suites. That’s the flywheel effect investors should focus on. With roughly 25% of the global cloud market and 85% of Fortune 500 companies now using Azure, Microsoft has become the default cloud infrastructure layer for enterprise AI adoption.
Copilot and Azure Are Creating a Powerful Enterprise Flywheel
The relationship between Microsoft’s AI products and its cloud business cannot be overstated. Every Copilot seat sold drives more Azure consumption, and every Azure contract creates a natural on-ramp for Copilot adoption. The two businesses are accelerating each other in ways that are increasingly visible in Microsoft’s financial results.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has noted that more than 90% of the Fortune 500 now use Microsoft 365 Copilot, and the product is increasingly being treated less like a chatbot add-on and more like a core enterprise platform.
That said, Copilot adoption is still in its early stages, which is arguably bullish. Most organizations are running pilots and phased rollouts rather than full enterprise-wide deployments.
MSFT Stock Shows Signs of a Potential Bullish Reversal
Of course, all this favorable news won’t matter much to shareholders if Microsoft’s stock outlook doesn’t improve. MSFT stock is down more than 15% in 2026, largely due to a steep gap down after its earnings report that stoked AI bubble fears and amplified a selloff in software stocks.
The chart shows signs of bottoming. For now, upside appears limited, but the stock has climbed above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA). If it can hold that level and build on a recent pattern of higher highs and higher lows, a bullish reversal could be confirmed.
Analysts remain generally bullish on MSFT. MarketBeat’s analyst forecasts place the consensus price target at $591.95 — roughly a 45% upside. Several recent price targets are well above that consensus, supported by strong institutional buying in the last quarter.

How to Play 3 Major CEO Transitions in Early 2026
Reported by Nathan Reiff. Article Posted: 3/19/2026.
Key Points
- Adobe, Walmart, and Disney are all in the midst of major leadership transitions in which long-time and respected CEOs are handing over executive duties.
- Investors should watch for signs that Wall Street may be cautious amid these transitions even when a company has strong fundamentals and momentum.
- In the case of both Walmart and Disney, the new leaders have significant experience and long track records of success within their respective companies.
- Special Report: Elon Musk: This Could Turn $100 into $100,000
CEOs shape a company’s strategy and serve as its public face to current and prospective investors. How investors view a CEO can materially influence their trading decisions. So when a prominent, respected, or controversial CEO steps down or is ousted, leadership transitions often create opportunities to reposition portfolios.
Sometimes a beloved CEO’s departure shakes investor confidence and pushes shares lower even when fundamentals remain solid. Other times a new leader brings a fresh start or renewed momentum. Three major companies that have recently—or will soon—go through CEO transitions may present attractive opportunities for attentive investors.
Adobe CEO’s Two-Decade Run Ends, But Fundamentals Remain Compelling

Digital media software giant Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) presents a paradox: the company reported a very strong Q1 fiscal 2026 (ended Feb. 27, 2026), yet shares have declined sharply year-to-date—nearly 12% of that drop occurred last week—after news that longtime CEO Shantanu Narayen will step down in the coming months.
Bullish shareholders may see this as a classic example of investors fleeing over perceived CEO-transition risk. The firm’s fundamentals, however, remain robust: revenue rose 12% year-over-year to $6.4 billion in the latest quarter, comfortably beating Wall Street estimates.
Earnings per share also topped expectations. Operating cash flow approached a company record of nearly $3 billion, and an estimated 850 million monthly active users helped drive a tripling of AI-first annual recurring revenue.
Narayen’s leadership has been transformative; over almost two decades he guided Adobe’s shift to a subscription-based cloud model. His phased exit—and his continuing role as board chair—should help provide stability during the transition. Some investors may even expect a reversal of the stock’s recent slide once a successor is announced. Analysts forecast nearly 38% in potential price upside.
Walmart’s New Leader Has Potential to Continue to Drive AI Transition
Retail behemoth Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) has fared differently. Since John Furner succeeded Doug McMillon, shares have remained solidly up year-to-date. Investors appear to view the handoff as orderly and not cause for concern.
That is not to downplay McMillon’s impact—he oversaw Walmart’s major pivot into e-commerce, helping the company evolve into a thriving hybrid retailer across both physical and digital channels.
In the process, Walmart became the first retail stock to reach a market value of $1 trillion.
Furner’s background is likely reassuring: he began as a part-time employee more than 30 years ago and rose through the ranks, including a successful stint leading Sam’s Club.
Investors will watch how Furner advances Walmart’s AI initiatives. So far, the company has scaled agentic commerce tools that have boosted average order value for AI users by about 35% and increased fast delivery usage by roughly 60%. Automation is also improving efficiency, which management says should help deliver 6–8% operating income growth and 3.5–4.5% sales growth for the current fiscal year, according to the latest earnings report.
Disney’s Smoother CEO Transition Could Transform Parks Business
One of the most watched transitions is at The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS), where Bob Iger is stepping down after his second run as CEO. Investors may be cautious given the turbulent period under Bob Chapek from 2020 to 2022, which remains fresh in market memory.
Josh D’Amaro has been with Disney for nearly 30 years and has led the company’s parks business. As head of Experiences, he oversaw revenue recovery and growth despite COVID-19 disruptions. D’Amaro is known for being closely engaged with the guest experience—an attribute investors may view as a contrast to past leadership.
With Disney committing roughly $60 billion to parks investments in the coming years—and with Experiences now topping $10 billion in quarterly revenue—D’Amaro could be well positioned to further transform this core part of the business.
