 Dear Reader, I started rating the safety of banks in the early '70s. Over the last 50+ years, I've warned my readers about the bank failures of the 1980s and 1990s, the Dot-Com Bust, the 2008 housing collapse and more. But today, I'm writing to you with a different kind of warning. One that genuinely frightens me. This time, the threat to your money isn't coming from reckless Wall Street bankers. It's coming directly from the Federal Reserve itself. Through a program outlined in the Federal Reserve Docket No. OP-1670 — known as "FedNow" — the government is quietly rewiring the entire American banking system. Simply stated, the Fed is building a centralized hub that will process every transaction in the U.S. … giving it the ability to track every transfer, bill pay, purchase or donation you make in real time. That, in turn, could give them unprecedented power to cut off your access to your savings if they decide you're not in "compliance" with whatever their policy agenda dictates at the time. Or maybe even confiscate your savings when the need arises like it happened in Cyprus in 2013. In all my decades studying the U.S. economy and banking system, I've never seen anything as scary as this. If you value your financial privacy … If you believe your money belongs to you and not Washington … Now's the time to act. I've spent the last few months putting together 4 specific, legal steps to "Fed-proof" your checking and savings accounts. I urge you to take this threat seriously. Review these 4 steps immediately, right here. Good luck and God bless!

Weiss Ratings Founder P.S. The Fed is counting on the fact that ordinary Americans won't read a 93-page document until it's too late. I've read it and that's why I'm begging you to act while you still can. Get the 4 "Fed-proof" steps right now.

Shares of Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) have risen following an announcement that reinforces the company's strategic pivot into the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) market. The company secured approval to build a large AI factory in the United States, a project with power capacity comparable to some of the world's largest data centers. This development is more than a construction effort; it represents a cornerstone of a new corporate identity and a validation of Nebius's strategy to become an essential provider of global AI infrastructure. Missouri Milestone: Powering a Strategic PivotAt the center of this plan is a 400-acre campus in Independence, Missouri, set to become a hub of AI activity and to create more than 1,300 local jobs. The most important figure for investors is the facility's potential power capacity: up to 1.2 gigawatts (GW). In an industry measured by computing power, access to electricity at this scale is a strategic breakthrough — 1.2 GW is an enormous amount of energy, capable of powering a large city. Power is the most critical and scarce resource for the AI sector. Over the past year, industry discussion has focused on the availability of high-powered GPUs; as chip supply chains begin to normalize, the bottleneck is shifting to the physical space and massive electrical infrastructure needed to host and run those chips. Algorithms alone can't scale without reliable, large-scale power. By securing this capacity, Nebius has claimed a vital piece of the infrastructure puzzle and positioned itself as a key enabler for the broader AI ecosystem. This Missouri factory will be the flagship project for the new Nebius. The company has moved from its prior identity as the diversified tech conglomerate Yandex N.V. into a focused, pure-play AI infrastructure provider. That strategic pivot concentrates resources on what the company sees as the single largest market opportunity today, and the project serves as a tangible proof point of that new direction. From Power to ProfitFor investors, the central question is how this infrastructure investment will translate into financial growth. The answer is tied to the current supply-and-demand imbalance in AI computing. During its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, Nebius management said its available computing capacity was sold out months in advance. Demand for AI infrastructure is so intense that customers are committing to longer-term contracts at strong prices to secure access. That environment makes bringing new data-center capacity online the most direct route to revenue. Nebius has guided to an annualized revenue run rate (ARR) of $7 billion to $9 billion by the end of 2026. ARR extrapolates current monthly recurring revenue across a year and gives a clearer forward-looking picture of business scale than historical quarterly revenue. Hitting this target depends on delivering the new capacity the company is building. Such growth requires substantial investment. Nebius outlined capital expenditures of $16 billion to $20 billion for 2026. While significant, the company says about 60% of that capital is already secured through cash on hand, operating cash flow, and upfront payments from long-term customer agreements. With a strong balance sheet and minimal existing debt, management expects to finance the remainder without taking on undue risk. This expansion is positioned as a calculated, demand-backed investment rather than a speculative gamble. A Clear Runway for GrowthThe Missouri approval is a major de-risking event for Nebius. What was a plan on paper is now a tangible project with government and community backing, providing investors a clear milestone to watch. It validates the company's aggressive strategy to capture a leadership position in high-demand AI infrastructure. Wall Street is taking note. The stock currently carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating from analysts, with an average price target of $143.22, suggesting meaningful upside from current levels. Analyst targets range from $84 to $211, reflecting differing views but a broadly bullish outlook from some market participants. That optimism is also supported by Nebius's underlying technology assets, including autonomous vehicle developer Avride and EdTech platform TripleTen, which add diversification to its foundation. With its strategy validated and capacity expansion visibly underway, the focus for investors will shift to execution. This landmark project gives Nebius a clear runway to establish itself not just as a participant, but as a critical pillar of the global AI infrastructure landscape.
