October 10, 2026   |   Read online Last December, America’s biggest power grid came up short.  A few plain companies stand to get paid for it, and my team sees gains of more than 100% in 2 of them over the next 12 months. Each year, that grid holds an auction to lock in future power. This time it couldn’t line up enough to hit its own reliability target. That had never happened since the auction began in 2007. Its operator also floated an emergency plan to push data centers onto backup generators, because supply was nearing what officials called “dangerously low levels.” Big Tech has committed up to $690 billion to the AI build-out, and the grid can’t keep up. In a shortage, the companies that supply power win. I’ve found 3 of them, and most investors don’t know their names yet. Read the whole story this weekend, before Monday’s open. To your success, Don Kaufman P.S. Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google have each signed a nuclear power deal just to keep their AI plans alive.

The AI boom has tech companies scrambling for power... while the Iran war is straining the supply of key fuel sources...

Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 The Weekend Edition is pulled from the daily Stansberry Digest. Big Tech's $7 Billion Nuclear 'Energy Grab' By Corey McLaughlin The energy grab continues... On September 30, Amazon (AMZN) announced a 20-year, $3 billion power-purchase deal with Constellation Energy (CEG) that will also expand and improve Maryland's only nuclear power plant. The Calvert Cliffs plant is about 75 miles from our headquarters in Baltimore. It's a similar distance from Northern Virginia's "Data Center Alley." And on October 6, Alphabet (GOOGL) announced a $4.3 billion agreement with Constellation, also for 20 years, to upgrade and add capacity at six existing nuclear plants in Illinois, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It's not a coincidence... The AI power players are facing a rising public backlash. They're looking for any and all ways to keep the generational infrastructure build-out going... And voters are increasingly concerned about data centers and rising energy costs. Here in Maryland, for example, Gov. Wes Moore has pivoted hard... from wanting to "supercharge" data centers to proposing more safeguards against them. This sort of political dance is playing out in states all over the country... The AI Story Is an Energy Story, Too Any support for data centers usually comes with the caveat that Big Tech firms "pay their own way." These Amazon and Alphabet deals deliver some of that. As part of the Amazon-Constellation deal, new energy from the Maryland nuclear plant would serve PJM Interconnection's regional grid, which covers 13 states and has become increasingly strained (and expensive). The planned addition of 190 megawatts at the Maryland facility, running around the clock, would cover the energy needs of about 150,000 homes – or a couple of data centers. That's a significant load, but it's also only 10% of the plant's current capacity. Meanwhile, the Alphabet-Constellation deal will add 890 megawatts of capacity between six power plants, as part of the companies' larger 3,590-megawatt contract. Added capacity won't arrive overnight... At Calvert Cliffs, Amazon and Constellation will fund upgrades that aren't expected to come on line until 2030 at the earliest. It's a similar story for the Alphabet deal... Modernizing turbines, steam generators, and digital control systems will happen by 2028 at the earliest. Until then... AI's power needs could keep folks' energy bills heading higher. But as long as AI spending from the big players also rises, the market boom can keep going, too... That's what Stansberry Research senior analyst Brett Eversole is telling anyone who will listen right now. He says "Phase 2" of the AI boom is only beginning, and a major catalyst next month could send shares of some AI-related stocks soaring. Watch Brett's free presentation before it goes offline. Just for tuning in, you'll hear about one stock to buy today as the AI boom gets ready for its next phase... and another to avoid at all costs. In other news... The government's (small) answer to skyrocketing diesel prices... America still runs on other energy sources, too, like diesel... And diesel has its own troubles right now. According to AAA, diesel fuel across the U.S. now averages more than $6.25 per gallon and hit an all-time high of $6.53 per gallon last month. And at some California stations, diesel prices topped $10... a price so high pumps didn't have enough digits to show it. Recommended Link: This 'IPO Killer' Stock Just Went Up 6,300% in Less Than 18 Months This stock is what Stansberry Research analyst Gabe Marshank calls an "ISO" – an unusual type of investment that historically outperforms the market by 8X at the exact moment when IPOs are starting to fizzle out. Learn how to get into the timeliest trade on the market. Click here for more details. Solving the Problem of Diesel Prices On October 5, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting that spike in prices, which we've seen since the start of the war in Iran. The White House has considered banning diesel exports to combat higher prices. But banning diesel exports won't bring prices down. In fact, it could have the opposite effect... When the idea first started gaining traction, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that "the blunt tool of banning diesel exports definitely doesn't work." So (for now), the government is taking a different approach. Under Trump's executive order, farmers and truckers can temporarily use "dyed" fuel without paying taxes or penalties. Dyed fuel is tinted red to mark it as exempt from the $0.24-per-gallon federal diesel tax. This fuel is normally reserved for farm equipment and other off-road use. Using it on public roads is typically illegal and carries steep penalties. Even with that tax relief, the average diesel price would remain above $6 per gallon, based on the AAA data... and would still be up about 65% year over year. Also, allowing truckers to use this fuel doesn't create more of it. So any truckers using dyed fuel would be taking supply away from farmers, construction workers, and other users, which could cause localized price jumps. Meanwhile, oil reserves keep falling... The U.S. released another 785,000 barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ("SPR") in the week ending September 25, according to the Energy Information Administration. That brought the SPR below 284 million barrels – its lowest level since October 1982. Since March, the U.S. has released more than 131 million barrels from the SPR. The Trump administration planned to release 172 million barrels to combat rising energy prices from the Iran war, so another 41 million barrels are likely to be discharged. But this is a short-term fix for the energy market... Speaking at an energy conference in England, Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said that the global economy has lost about 3 billion barrels of oil since the start of the Iran war. He added that about 1 billion barrels of energy products have been released from corporate and government emergency reserves over the same period to lessen the impact. Those reserves will have to be refilled at some point, though. Nasser estimates that this process could take two years, since emergency-reserve purchasers will have to compete with everyday users. That'll only mean more demand for crude over the next two years, which won't bring about lower prices. Instead, if governments are buyers of crude in the years ahead, it could put a "floor" under prices. That might not ease anyone's budget... But it could be good for the energy companies that help produce and move crude. The same goes for those that deliver the power to keep the AI boom moving full steam ahead. Those are the companies to keep an eye on moving forward. All the best, Corey McLaughlin Editor's note: Not every AI stock will soar in the next leg of this boom. Our own Brett Eversole has warned that some of the biggest AI stocks of the past few years – names that made early investors 2X, 3X, or even 5X their money – could be headed for a painful fall. Recently, he revealed how to avoid holding the wrong stocks today... and why it's time to position yourself for a brand-new class of AI winners.

Welcome back to Pursuits Weekly! This week Thu-Huong Ha in Tokyo is joined by Annika Inampudi and Georgie McKay in New York to our look at the world’s biggest culture stories, as well as ideas and recommendations around travel, dining and art. Sign up here to get this newsletter every Saturday in your inbox. Marking time in Tokyo When it rains it pours. Photo Illustration by Pedro Nekoi; photo source: Alamy (1) For those who say that talking about the weather is boring, you must not have been in Tokyo this September. After 37 consecutive days of rain, the longest stretch since records began, it happened almost as if by magic, just days after the calendar flipped to October: The sun! The sky! This week, the air has been cool and clear, and the sky is pale, even blue, and the forecast says it will hold into Japan’s three-day weekend. It’s the kind of weather that makes you feel like you’re in love. A “chain-reaction triggered by the El Niño background,” is how meteorologist Takahisa Nishikawa explained the storms to weather reporter Mary Hui. Next year could be even more unusual: The world is gearing up for a potential rare Super El Niño, which could affect everything from global sugar production to Japan’s ski season. Unable to bike or walk outside over the last month, I was confined to the city’s packed trains, sidestepping people’s leaking umbrellas and sweating from the humidity and communal body heat. This meant a lot of time staring into the blank face of Suica Penguin, the placid, genderless, round-eyed mascot for railway company JR East, and pondering its cultural impact over the last 25 years. The beloved mascot’s pending retirement has set off a frenzy of nostalgia and spurred queues for merch within already packed stations.  I know a spot. Photographer: Kento Mori for Bloomberg Pursuits Now, it’s a great time to be in the city above ground. If high-end tuna carving in your home city won’t cut it, October through December in Tokyo has blissful weather, and traveling around Japan is much more mellow than cherry blossom season. If you do fancy a jaunt, I don’t recommend zipping all over the city to shrines and high-end sushi spots you found on some list; instead, I’d choose no more than one area a day and really take your time.  Bloomberg travel expert Brandon Presser agrees, writing in his Two-Night Minimum city guide, “Tokyo (Japan, really) reveals itself much more earnestly when one goes deep instead of wide.” And anyway, says Presser, “some of the best meals [he’s] had in the city cost less than $40.” After Tokyo’s fickle summer, I’m savoring every day of blue, however impermanent this bliss may be. On the city’s worst days, the crowds and urban jungle are massive, impenetrable and dizzying. And on its best, its winding streets connect and fan out like lichen, infinitely unknowable and full of hidden treasure. By the numbers Take nothing but pictures. Illustration by Clay Hicks £2,150 About $2,841, how much Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat restaurant lost in a week as diners stole 477 of their cutesy golden cat chopstick holders. Food editor Kate Krader turns from petty thief to detective as she investigates why restaurant-goers have such sticky fingers. 200 lbs The weight of a single bluefin tuna served at the increasingly popular live sushi-butchering shows across the US, Alina Dizik writes. 20% Better buy that new Porsche now, or risk paying that price increase. The German sports car manufacturer will sell its top-end sports cars for more than €330,000 ($370,134) by the end of the decade, up from about €270,000 this year, William Wilkes reports. Ice mermaids Cold as ice. Photographer: Dagne Cobo Buschbeck for Bloomberg Chile’s Patagonia region is emerging as a cold-water swimming destination, writes Antonia Mufarech. Record-setting swimmer Bárbara Hernández is inspiring a growing community of athletes to embrace one of the world’s most extreme endurance sports. Midnight snacks A little more lively than Nighthawks. Photographer: Chris Arias/Eldridge Street Store Nothing beats good food at an inappropriate hour. From second dinners to post-2 a.m.-Odyssey-screening munchies, diners are embracing late-night meals, reports Matthew Kronsberg. Amid worries about the great American fun shortage, restaurants and bars are extending their operating hours, re-awakening dormant nightlife in cities around the world. Dinner Party Topic: The Drinks Business Be the smartest person at the table with some focused factoids. Whisky in space? Drink up. Wayyyy up. Whisky will be aged in space to discover whether orbiting Earth can accelerate maturation and produce a bold and complex tipple, according to the Telegraph. Shhh, they’ll never know. Napa Valley is facing a wine glut, and desperate vintners are offloading premium product under discounted private labels at Kroger, Costco and Aldi, Judy Lagrou writes. Grandpa drink no longer. Soju’s lower-alcohol cousin, makgeolli, was once considered South Korea’s least-trendy drink. Now, the traditional rice wine is on the ascent as global interest in K-content supercharges the country’s cuisine, writes Denny Thomas, Hyonhee Shin and Soobin Kim. Banana Ball nation Go bananas! Photographer: Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times For the Savannah Bananas baseball team, viral gags are the point. Who wins is secondary. But the $500 million barnstorming juggernaut is also playing with some old, overworked tropes, writes Ben Austen. Counterpoint In the driver’s seat. Photographer: Giuliano Berti/Bloomberg “It’s very hard to make something that is new and different, and its newness is a consequence of it being better.” Jony Ive, on the design of the Ferrari Luce In a rare response to the negative reviews of the Ferrari Luce, designer Jony Ive defended his vision of Modena’s first fully electric supercar, saying that people respond more warmly to the car in person. Car columnist Hannah Elliott provides key context on Ferrari’s electric leap. The internet’s last best place Just trust me. As kids, we were told not to trust Wikipedia. Today’s middle schoolers are told the same thing about ChatGPT. Noam Cohen takes a look at Richard Cooke’s new, sweeping history of Wikipedia, The Last Best Place on the Internet. The book traces how the volunteer-built encyclopedia set the stage for today’s chatbots. One Very Specific Recommendation: Pondering sin at Hell’s Museum  A Hell’s Museum diorama. Photographer: Thu-Huong Ha/Bloomberg The Hell’s Museum complex within Haw Par Villa, Singapore’s theme park dedicated to Chinese-ness, has been striking fear into the hearts of children since the early 1950s. The larger park has been closed indefinitely for repairs since last December, but you can still access the cult-favorite Ten Courts of Hell, and take a stroll through the gruesome punishments for various sins.  Study the little human figure in apparent agony, in the middle of having his heart sliced open and his heart taken out ... for what exactly? He didn’t respect his elders. Obviously. The park was my final stop on a two-day experiment in offline travel, and being fully present in the cavernous exhibition hall was genuinely spooky. It was created by Aw Boon Haw, one of the two brothers best known for the Tiger Balm empire, so although it’s changed ownership, you can still find vestiges of the days when it also doubled as an advertisement for the famed ointment. Don’t miss the lengthy preamble before the exhibits explaining how each of the world’s religions approach time (circular or linear) and how it relates to life after death. —Thu-Huong Ha New for subscribers: Free article gifting.
