Mark Skousen and The Oxford Club are pitching The Private Power Boom through The Skousen Report. We trace the clues to the company behind the private-power story.
One promotion, several names — all of them point to the same pitch, and the same stock.
“Get Dr. Mark Skousen‘s AND Matt McCall’s Research for Up to 88% Off – Plus Three Reports to Help You Claim Your Share of $60 TRILLION in New Wealth” is the headline from The Oxford Club, which is selling The Skousen Report with Mark Skousen fronting the promotion.
The pitch says Big Tech is building a new power system beyond the traditional grid, creating a private-power boom worth a slice of that enormous wealth claim. We identify the main stock below, with high confidence: 98/100.
The answer is Williams Companies. The extra reports point to three additional, much less certain matches, which we treat as guesses rather than settled identifications.
The giveaway is a supposedly sleepy natural-gas pipeline company doing something much larger behind the scenes: more than $7 billion in private-power projects, including behind-the-meter systems for data centers, with roughly $1.4 billion in annual EBITDA projected by 2029.
The same pitch also appears under the names “Private Power Boom” and “The Final Bull Market.” Those are alternate labels for the same idea, not separate discoveries.
The headline stock is Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB). Williams' 2025 Form 10-K describes an energy-infrastructure business operating more than 32,000 miles of natural-gas pipelines, which neatly supplies the sleepy pipeline-company setup.
Then the fingerprints get hard to miss. Williams' Power Innovation page describes turnkey, behind-the-meter power solutions for data centers, including onsite generation and related gas infrastructure. Its Analyst Day materials put planned Power Innovation investment at approximately $7.3 billion, while the stockholder letter described more than $7 billion of projects under execution. Management also projected approximately $1.4 billion of annual EBITDA at full run rate by 2029 under long-term contracted arrangements.
The three bonus reports are weaker identifications. Our best guesses are VCX for “The Second IPO Blueprint,” GRAL for “Machine Medicine: Three Stocks Leading the AI Drug Revolution,” and POWL for “Four Companies Powering the $20 Trillion Electrification Boom.” Their respective confidence scores are 78/100, 82/100 and 84/100. The main answer remains WMB; these guesses shouldn't be mistaken for a fully solved five-stock set.
The offer bundles 3 bonus reports that tease their own stocks. These get a sentence or two of copy each, so the evidence is much thinner than for the main pick and what follows is our best reading rather than a confident answer.
| Bonus report | Our best guess | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| The Second IPO Blueprint | VCX — Fundrise Innovation Fund, LLC | 78/100 — solid |
| Machine Medicine: Three Stocks Leading the AI Drug Revolution | GRAL — GRAIL, Inc. | 82/100 — solid |
| Four Companies Powering the $20 Trillion Electrification Boom |
The claim-by-claim checks below separate the pieces that line up with company filings and investor materials from the promotional flourishes that run ahead of the evidence.
They also keep the bonus reports in their proper category: plausible asset-specific matches, but not conclusions with the same strength as the Williams identification.

| Williams looks like a sleepy natural gas pipeline company. | Checks out | Williams' 2025 Form 10-K describes it as an energy infrastructure company operating more than 32,000 miles of natural-gas pipelines, making the pipeline-company description accurate. |

This is the fourth Skousen-related promotion we've identified. The earlier calls were Talon Metals Corp. under “Trump’s Next Stock Buy,” up 45.67% since we revealed it; Red Cat Holdings under “America Reloading Stocks,” up 2.41%; and Cerebras Systems under “Elon's Hit List,” down 4.8%.
That is a small ledger, not a verdict on an analyst. It is simply the running record: three earlier names, two up and one down.
The pitch's central claim is simple: Big Tech needs power beyond the traditional grid, that creates a private-power boom, and Williams is the overlooked infrastructure company positioned to supply it.
The first two links hold up. Data centers do need dependable power, and Williams really is building behind-the-meter systems with billions of dollars of projects tied to the platform. The weakest link is the leap from a real Williams growth program to a $60 trillion wealth opportunity. The cited filings support the project pipeline and the 2029 EBITDA target; they don't establish that giant market-wide number.
There is also a useful reality check hiding in the name. This isn't a clean break from the old energy system. Williams is extending its natural-gas infrastructure into onsite power, which may be commercially sensible but is less like a secret new grid and more like the existing one growing another arm.
On the merits, WMB has the strongest case among the identified names because its central thesis is backed by specific projects, investment figures and a management forecast. The bonus matches are a mixed group: VCX is a listed closed-end fund with Anthropic exposure rather than an operating company, GRAL is a cancer-detection business whose promotional claims stretch beyond its disclosures, and POWL has a genuine data-center order but represents a different electrification angle. Williams carries the private-power argument; the rest shouldn't be bundled into one tidy conclusion.
How confident are we? 98 out of 100. We identified The Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) from the promotion's own clues and checked 12 of its claims against filings, earnings calls, ownership records, market data and public reporting. This is our analysis, not the publisher's disclosure — we have no relationship with them.
Knowing which stock it is only gets you halfway. We score WMB on valuation, profitability, growth, financial health and momentum — and reach our own conclusion, independent of how it was sold to you.

| Checks out |
| In its Analyst Day materials, Williams said it would have approximately $7.3 billion invested in Power Innovation projects; its stockholder letter described more than $7 billion of projects under execution. |
| Williams expects its private power projects to generate about $1.4 billion annually by 2029. | Checks out | Williams management said the Power Innovation platform is expected to deliver approximately $1.4 billion of annual EBITDA at full run rate by 2029 under long-term contracted arrangements. |
| A public company has invested more than $60 billion in OpenAI. | Checks out | SoftBank's October 2026 announcement said its cumulative investment in OpenAI totaled $64.6 billion. |
| That OpenAI stake is worth almost half of the investor's market value. | Checks out | SoftBank reported approximately 13% ownership of OpenAI; applying that percentage to OpenAI's announced $730 billion pre-money valuation implies roughly $95 billion, versus SoftBank's market quote showing about $169.6 billion of market capitalization. |
| Fundrise Innovation Fund is much smaller than the OpenAI investor. | Overstated | VCX's market quote showed approximately $1.07 billion of market capitalization, versus about $169.6 billion for SoftBank, so the size comparison is directionally right; however, VCX is a listed closed-end fund rather than an operating company. |
| Fundrise Innovation Fund has a huge stake in Anthropic. | Checks out | Fundrise Innovation Fund's audited Form N-CSR/A listed Anthropic at approximately $112.4 million, or 16.5% of net assets, making it the fund's largest disclosed holding; the exposure is held through co-investment vehicles. |
| GRAIL's test can detect dozens of cancers from a single blood draw. | Checks out | GRAIL's 2025 Form 10-K says Galleri identified a shared cancer signal across more than 50 cancer types from a simple blood draw. |
| GRAIL's test can detect those cancers long before symptoms show. | Overstated | GRAIL's official Galleri FAQ says the test looks for cancer before symptoms appear, but the company does not establish the promotional qualifier 'long before' as a specific time interval. |
| Fewer than 10 analysts on Wall Street cover GRAIL. | Contradicted | GRAIL's investor-relations analyst-coverage page lists 10 firms, so the record contradicts 'fewer than 10'; other coverage services list 10 or more as well. |
| Powell landed the biggest data-center order in its history. | Checks out | Powell's second-quarter fiscal 2026 release described a post-quarter data-center order exceeding $400 million as the largest order in Powell history; a later release identified it as a behind-the-meter onsite-generation project. |
