 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!

This Month's Bonus Article After Cooling Off, On Holding May Be Ready to Sprint HigherReported by Thomas Hughes. Publication Date: 3/6/2026.

On Holding's (NYSE: ONON) share price has struggled amid fears of slowing growth, valuation concerns, and the impact of tariffs, but the selling appears to be ending. Q4 2025 results were strong, with growth holding across channels and categories. Although 2026 guidance missed consensus, the company still forecasts another strong year and analysts expect outperformance. The analysts' response suggests the guidance miss was deliberate; On Holding often sets conservative targets it then easily surpasses. As it stands, the company expects to sustain a solid 20%+ growth pace in the coming year, driven by strengths across segments and in retail categories. In 1934, the government executed a legal maneuver that transferred billions in wealth overnight—most Americans had no idea it was coming, a small group who saw it early walked away wealthy, and everyone else paid for it. Trump has the same legal authority today, advisors close to the administration believe he's considering using it, and if he does, the transfer happens fast with the window to be on the right side of it already closing. Get the free report on how to position yourself now Data from MarketBeat show coverage rising and sentiment firming: 25 analysts cover the stock, and there is an 84% buy-side bias toward the Moderate Buy rating. The price target remains bullish and steady despite the March revisions, forecasting roughly 40% upside from a critical support level. That support corresponds to a long-term exponential moving average near $41.30, which has held in prior periods. Support is also evident in analysts' trends and institutional activity. Coverage and price targets have risen alongside rapidly growing institutional holdings. Institutions accumulated ONON three of four quarters in 2025 and during the first two months of Q1 2026, ramping activity to record highs even as the share price retreated. That accumulation points to a solid support base and a tailwind likely to lift the stock over time. The main question is timing — the rebound could begin before mid-year. If guidance is conservative, the next visible catalyst is mid-May, when Q1 2026 earnings are released. On Holding Tanks on Robust Results and Growth OutlookOn Holding's Q4 was as strong as they come: revenue rose about 34%, slightly ahead of consensus. Strength was driven by a 31% increase in wholesale and a 30% increase in higher-margin direct-to-consumer (DTC), supported by 21% growth in core shoe sales, 38% in apparel, and 117% in accessories. Regionally, Asia-Pacific (APAC) led with an 85% increase, followed by a 21.3% rise in the Americas, while EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) was soft, up only 2.5%. Margin news was mixed but ultimately constructive. Net income margin declined more than expected due to aggressive investments and foreign exchange (FX) headwinds, but record gross margins and a 31.8% increase in EBITDA helped offset that. The sell-off in early March followed the guidance miss, which stoked fears of slowing growth and margin pressure across retail. On Holding Builds Value for InvestorsOn Holding's balance sheet shows no red flags. The company is well-capitalized and holds net cash rather than net debt. Shareholders' equity rose about 17% in 2025 and is expected to continue increasing next year. The company has not yet returned capital to investors, choosing to reinvest for growth, but it remains on track to return capital in coming years. Key catalysts in 2026 include strong apparel sales, which support revenue durability and margins; a focus on DTC channels; and improving brand awareness. On Holding engages top athletes to reinforce its premium positioning and tell targeted stories that motivate consumers. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) is a double-edged sword: it can boost growth and margins but may alienate wholesale partners, as Nike's experience demonstrates. Other risks include FX headwinds and the potential for slowing growth. Price action has been mixed since the release. The results triggered a steep sell-off that in turn attracted buyers. Since then, activity has encountered resistance near the short-term 30-day exponential moving average (EMA), which could cap near-term gains. Over the longer term, ONON appears poised to rebound and could accelerate once that recovery begins.
