A message from our partners at Weiss Ratings 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!  Martin D. Weiss, PhD 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.
Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media Dollar General Holds Its Ground at Critical Level, Signals BuyAuthor: Thomas Hughes. Article Posted: 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 move Washington made in 1934
 Dollar General (NYSE: DG) issued a weak 2026 forecast on March 12, sending its shares down about 10% at the next open. As ugly as a 10% decline looks and as much downside as some feared, what mattered most was what happened next. The pullback brought DG into alignment with a significant support target that coincides with a prior breakout and reversal pattern, and buyers stepped in. The stock quickly recovered half its loss, confirming support at this level and at a pair of long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs), which strengthened the signal. Confirmation of support and a Golden Crossover in the EMAs suggest a longer-term bullish shift that prompted a reversal into accumulation. If the market follows through, any move below $128 is unlikely to persist. The No. 1 Move to Prepare for $10,000 Gold Gold's recent run-up has already been nothing short of historic... But it's far from over. In fact, we expect that gold is headed to $10,000 an ounce – and even that might be too low an estimate. One expert has even issued a $20,000 price target. But however high gold ultimately goes... it's critical you know how to take advantage of its next big move... by checking out the BEST possible gold stock you should buy immediately. Get the full details here.  Institutions Buy Dollar General Aggressively in 2026 MarketBeat's institutional data indicate institutions are buying the dip in Dollar General. The data show a bullish posture on a trailing-twelve-month (TTM) basis: four consecutive quarters of net buying (including the first two months of Q1 2026), accelerating buy-versus-sell activity quarter-to-quarter, and a multiyear high in early Q1. Given institutions own nearly 92% of the shares, that support provides a significant tailwind for any rebound. Analysts also offer some support, though upside may be limited until later in the year. Post-release commentary emphasized slowing comp store sales and cautious guidance, but most ratings and price targets were maintained, leaving the broader trend intact. The consensus from 30 analysts is a Hold rating with a 46% Buy-side bias. That bias and the price targets are modest, implying the stock appeared roughly fairly valued before the earnings release. One potential trigger for a stronger rebound would be upward revisions to analyst forecasts, which could be driven by future quarterly results. Dollar General Falls After Strong Report; Guides for Growth Dollar General reported a solid quarter, with revenue up 5.9% year-over-year (YOY) to nearly $11 billion. Same-store sales rose 4.3%, driven by a 2.6% increase in traffic and a 1.7% increase in transactions. Revenue outpaced MarketBeat's consensus by 75 basis points, and earnings also beat expectations. The company's focus on rationalization, store improvements and cost controls is paying off, widening margins. The net result was $1.93 in GAAP earnings per share, nearly a 15% gain year-over-year, with margins expected to remain healthy. Guidance disappointed: management forecast revenue growth of about 3.95%, below the 4.25% consensus, although the caution was understandable. Results reflect year-end momentum, and consumer tailwinds could emerge in 2026—larger tax refunds this season may inject additional spending power across Dollar General's customer base. Balance sheet highlights also support ownership, reflecting the impact of the turnaround. Total assets declined slightly year-over-year, but liabilities fell more, producing roughly a 15% increase in shareholders' equity and preserving the company's capacity to return capital. Dollar General paused buybacks to conserve cash while rationalizing inventory and investing in remodels, but it continues to pay a dividend (about 1.7% as of March 2026). Buybacks may resume by fiscal year-end, and dividend increases are likely over time. Dollar General Catalysts in 2026: Better Stores One key catalyst this year is the company's Back to Basics strategy. Dollar General is remodeling stores, improving inventory quality, and addressing supply-chain issues. These efforts set the stage for better-than-expected comps and margins, while concepts like DG Wellness and pOpshelf help attract and retain customers. |
