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. Click here because he revealed the name of this company completely free of charge during this interview. 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. Click here to see the details. Regards, Aaron Gentzler VP of Research, Paradigm Press
This Week's Bonus Content Dollar General Holds Its Ground at Critical Level, Signals BuySubmitted by Thomas Hughes. Article Published: 3/13/2026. 
Key Points- Dollar General is well-positioned to execute its Back-to-Basics strategy, sustain growth and cash flow.
- Analysts and institutions support the stock, indicating a value, but upside may be limited until later in the year.
- Cautious guidance sent shares plunging, setting the stage for future outperformance and a potential price recovery.
- Special Report: The IPO Market Is Quiet… But Not for Long (From Darwin)

Dollar General (NYSE: DG) issued a weak 2026 forecast on March 12, driving its shares down about 10% at the open. As painful as that pullback was, what mattered most was what came next: the decline brought DG into a significant support zone that coincides with a prior breakout-and-reversal pattern, and buyers stepped in. The stock quickly recovered roughly half its losses, confirming support at this level and at a pair of long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs), which strengthened the technical signal. That confirmation, together with a golden cross in the EMAs, suggested a longer-term bullish shift and prompted accumulation. If the market follows through, any move below $128 is unlikely to persist. Why are companies flying spy planes over Elon's closely-guarded AI lab?
Elon did the seemingly impossible – far faster than anyone expected… And it's sent the tech industry into PANIC MODE. ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek could soon become obsolete. And three little-known firms could soar 10X or higher as a result. Get the details here. 
Institutions buy Dollar General aggressively in 2026The institutional data reported by MarketBeat indicate that large investors are buying the dip in Dollar General. On a trailing‑twelve‑month (TTM) basis the data show four consecutive quarters of net buying (including the first two months of Q1 2026), an accelerating pace of purchases versus sales quarter‑over‑quarter, and a multiyear high in early Q1. Given that institutions own nearly 92% of shares outstanding, this ownership base offers meaningful support and a tailwind for any rebound. Analysts also provide some support, although upside could be limited until later in the year. Post‑release commentary focused on slowing comparable-store sales and conservative guidance, but most ratings and price targets were left unchanged, keeping the prevailing trend intact. The current analyst consensus, compiled from 30 analysts, is a Hold rating, with roughly 46% of analysts on the Buy side. Neither the Buy-side bias nor the average price target is especially strong; the latter implied fair value at the close prior to the earnings report. One trigger for a clearer rebound would be upward revisions to analysts' forecasts, potentially driven by upcoming earnings and better‑than‑expected operational performance. Dollar General posts solid quarter; guidance leans conservativeDollar General reported a solid quarter, with revenue up 5.9% year‑over‑year to nearly $11 billion. Growth was driven by new stores and positive comps: same‑store sales rose 4.3%, attributable to a 2.6% increase in traffic and a 1.7% lift in transactions. Revenue beat consensus by about 75 basis points, and earnings also outpaced expectations. The company's focus on rationalization, store improvements, and cost controls is paying off, producing wider margins. GAAP EPS was $1.93, nearly a 15% gain versus the prior year, and management expects margins to remain healthy. Guidance was the main concern. Management projected revenue growth slowing to roughly 3.95%, below the 4.25% consensus, reflecting a cautious outlook. Still, momentum into year‑end and potential consumer tailwinds could help: tax‑refund season is underway, and larger refunds this year are injecting fresh cash into Dollar General's core customer base. Balance sheet highlights offer another reason to own the shares, reflecting the impact of the turnaround. Total assets declined slightly year‑over‑year, but liabilities fell by more, resulting in a roughly 15% increase in shareholder equity and continued capacity to return capital. The company paused buybacks to preserve cash while it rationalized inventory and invested in remodels, but it continues to pay a dividend. The yield was about 1.7% as of March 2026; investors can likely expect annual increases and for buybacks to resume, possibly by fiscal‑year end. Dollar General catalysts in 2026: better storesA key catalyst this year is Dollar General's Back to Basics strategy. The company is remodeling and upgrading stores, reducing excess inventory, improving product quality, and addressing supply‑chain issues. Those efforts set the stage for stronger comps and margins, while initiatives like DG Wellness and pOpshelf are helping attract and retain new customers.
