Why Boston Ships In Natural Gas It Already Has at Home (Ad)

A tanker called the Iberica Knutsen once sailed 2,272 miles from Trinidad and Tobago to deliver liquefied natural gas to Boston. The odd part: the Marcellus Shale, one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, sits just a few hundred miles away. Porter Stansberry spent years digging into why this happens and what it means for the American energy system.tc pixel

A $382 trillion migration and the position no one is talking about (Ad)

Trump just signed a law requiring America's entire $382 trillion financial system to migrate to a new money network by April 2027. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink already calls it 'the next major evolution in market infrastructure.' Our research has identified one small, overlooked position at the center of this policy-driven shift - already drawing quiet institutional buying from BNY Mellon, State Street, and JPMorgan. It currently trades for pennies relative to where institutional demand could push it. The Q3 2026 compliance deadline may be the last window before prices move.tc pixel
