A Message from Porter & Company I made a huge mistake… I thought what happened 25 years ago was a once-in-a-lifetime event… That it would never happen again… that it could never happen again. But I was dead wrong. Because here we are, a quarter of a century later, almost to the exact day, and it's happening again. And for those of you who understand what’s coming, this could be one of the greatest wealth-building phenomena of your life. But if you instead choose to bury your head in the sand… this force could wipe out years of investment returns and even destroy your financial future. Here's everything you need to know.  25 years ago, I started telling friends, family, and anyone who would listen about an unprecedented societal shift that was barreling down on us. I'd discovered that a new technology was about to unleash massive, almost unimaginable, changes. I likened the impact to the railroad boom, the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of personal computing. At the time, I was working as an investment analyst for an elite research group, but my colleagues and bosses refused to listen to me. No matter what I said, they simply would not acknowledge the sands shifting beneath their feet. The legendary Dr. Kurt Richebächer – one of the world's leading Austrian economists – even called me and my ideas "radical." But I was certain this new technology would trigger a transformation that was simply unfathomable to most people and those on the frontier could reap financial returns unlike any the world had ever seen before. So, I decided to put my entire career – not to mention every cent I had – on the line to spread the story myself. I left my job as a research analyst... went home to my third-floor apartment in one of Baltimore's worst neighborhoods... and with a borrowed laptop I wrote my first financial prophecy. And in an investment paper that's now been read by more than one hundred thousand people... I explained how the endless miles of new fiber optic cables being laid was creating a new railroad across America. And that this new "railroad" was going to upend the telecommunications industry and pave the way for a new internet economy. I also warned it would decimate some of America's most dominant companies like AT&T. At the time, this was an outlandish idea, with analysts calling AT&T "dominant", "unstoppable", and "the giant that no other company can topple." But those who were willing to open their minds to my so-called "radical" ideas were not only able to sell these companies before they collapsed... They also had the chance to get in early on the firms that would go on to command this new internet economy: Amazon, Adobe, Qualcomm, SunMicrosystems, Uniphase, Texas Instruments... These are household names now but when I first recommended them in the late 90s, they were complete unknowns. Since then, I've issued a number of other financial prophecies, many of which have come to pass precisely as I predicted. But today, I'm stepping forward with a new exposé that I believe could surpass anything I've ever done... I'm calling it my Final Prophecy because I don't think we will ever again see a story that rivals the magnitude of this during my lifetime. I'm not talking about AI... quantum computing... augmented reality... the blockchain... or anything else you might be thinking of. No. This is far bigger than them all. In fact... It's the cornerstone that all our recent technological innovations have been built upon and the future will be built upon too. Yet you've likely never heard of it before. Outside of the labs in the world's most prestigious universities and tech companies, almost nobody has. But those who have... those who can see the writing on the wall... they're investing billions of dollars, as they know this will transform everything. Marc Andreessen... Ben Horowitz... Elon Musk... Jeff Bezos... Mark Zuckerberg...Jensen Huang... Bill Gates... the list goes on and on. They know, as I do, that in a few years from now, we will not recognize the world we live in. How we work, live, communicate, transact... it will all be completely upended by what's coming next. Today, for the first time, I'm going to share it all with you... and I promise you've never heard anything like this before. You see, despite the magnitude of this story, nobody is openly and freely discussing this technological turning point. And that deeply concerns me, because I believe its emergence will draw an indelible demarcation line in society. On one side, you'll have those who understand it, invest in it, and who are greatly enriched by it. On the other side... you'll have those who turn a blind eye and are impoverished by the sweeping changes it ushers in. I know what side I'll be on. And I know what side I want you to be on. So go here to watch my full investigation into this story. Including the names of the companies to buy and sell if you want to capitalize on the multi-trillion-dollar revolution this technology promises to usher in. Enjoy. Porter Stansberry
Today's Bonus Article These 3 Dividend Stocks Are Not Concerned With Tariff NoiseWritten by Thomas Hughes Despite their global presence, dividend stocks like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) are less affected by tariff noise than you might think. Each company has an insulator to cushion the impacts of macroeconomic headwinds and a history of consistent growth. For investors, tariff-induced price dips in these names present a buying opportunity, as the long-term outlook for capital growth and return remains solid. Lockheed Martin: Pulled Back to the Buy Zone Lockheed Martin Corporation’s problems extend beyond tariffs and include weaknesses in the F-35 program and a lost contract in 2024. However, those issues are already priced into the stock, which is trading near critical support and a long-term uptrend line, as of mid-2025. Regarding its insulation, the company derives more than 70% of its revenue from the U.S. government, with most of the remainder from international government defense contracts approved by the United States. Lockheed’s revenue growth has been spotty quarterly, depending on the timing and recognition of contract awards, but it tracks higher annually. The Q1 F2025 results and outlook align with a mid-single-digit pace, sufficient to sustain balance sheet health and the capital return. Capital return is a critical component of defense stocks, and the stocks on this list, which include a substantial dividend and share repurchases. Lockheed’s dividend isn’t the largest in the defense industry, but it is well above the broad market average and highly rated. The 2.8% yield is about twice the broad market average and reliable at roughly 45% of the earnings forecast and 22 years of distribution increases. Repurchases are also robust, reducing the share count by an average of 2.6% year-over-year (YOY) in FQ1.  Coca-Cola: Localized Distribution, To the Max To say that the Coca-Cola system leans heavily on a localized supply chain is an understatement. The parent company has global reach and oversight, while local distributors are responsible for production and delivery. It has also focused on tariff-mitigating efforts, including price hedging and efficiency improvements. Coca-Cola has been struggling with growth in 2025. However, its well-diversified, beverage-only strategy allows for steady revenue, roughly flat versus the prior year, and industry-leading performance. Business is also sufficient to sustain the balance sheet health and capital return. The company's dividend yield is nearly 3.0% in early Q2 2025, tracking near the high end of its historical range. Share repurchases are also reliable, reducing the count incrementally in Q1, providing support for the market. Analyst trends support the KO market action in July, including increased coverage, firming sentiment, a consensus Buy rating, and price target increases. The consensus target forecasts about 8% upside while the revisions lead to the high-end range and another 5% to 10% gain.  Walmart: Capitalizing on Supply Chain Strength Walmart not only has a well-localized supply chain, but it has taken advantage of its scale, cementing itself as the primary shopping destination for consumers across North America. It is growing in 2025, leading the industry and taking share from competitors like Target. The 2025 outlook is for growth to accelerate as shoppers continue to lean into everyday low pricing and for margins to remain strong. Walmart’s dividend yield isn’t fantastic at just under 1.0% but it is very reliable. The payout ratio is under 40%, growth is present and forecasted, and the balance sheet is healthy. Share buybacks are also included, reducing the share count by 0.4% in Q1 F2026. Analyst activity is driving WMT shares to a new all-time high, which is likely to be reached before the end of calendar 2025. It includes firming sentiment, a Moderate Buy rating with bullish bias, and an uptrend in the consensus price target. The consensus is good for a 10% gain in early July, sufficient for a new all-time high, and the high-end range adds nearly 1500 basis points to it.
