In a previous article, we looked at the 30 US cities with the highest violent crime rates. In this article, we will look at the 30 cities with the most crimes, including violent and nonviolent ones.

In recent news, Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) announced it will shut down four of its stores in Chicago. In 2021, retailers in the United States lost a combined $94.5 billion to theft and other inventory loss. Inventory shrinkage, along with the growing e-commerce industry, is forcing large retailers to shut down stores. Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT)’s announcement to shut down its store in Chicago comes only weeks after it shuttered its only store in Portland. In addition, Target Corp (NYSE: TGT)’s CEO Brian Cornell recently hinted at closing stores soon. In December 2022, Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT)’s CEO Doug McMillon said “Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been”. Target Corp (NYSE: TGT)’s CEO warned in May that violence and organized retail crimes are hurting their profitability.

Crime is defined as an intentional act deemed socially harmful, dangerous, prohibited, and punishable under criminal law. So, inventory theft, whether violent or nonviolent, is a crime. It is difficult to conduct business in crime-ridden areas, whether you are a large retail store like Target Corp (NYSE: TGT) or a small one. Liberal gun laws in some states also increase the likelihood of crime turning violent. So, keep reading because, in this article, we will reveal which US city has the highest crime rate.

Since the start of Covid 19, crimes have dramatically increased in the United States. Experts cite economic pressures as the most important reason for an increase in crime. While the crime rates have not fallen to the pre-pandemic level, there is some improvement in the United States. According to a report by the Council of Criminal Justice, the number of homicides in 2022 was 4% lower than the counts recorded in 2021. However, robberies, nonresidential bulagries, and larcenies increased by at least 5.5% in 2022. Vehicle thefts have been on the rise since Covid and saw a 21% increase in 2022.

The United States is still grappling with gun violence. In 2022, the estimated number of firearm deaths, excluding suicide, was 20138. This comes at a time when the United States Supreme Court, for the first time, recognized the right to carry a loaded firearm in public.

In the last five years, the number of federally licensed gun dealers increased by 2,000. The United States is known as one of the easiest places to get a gun. So, it is unsurprising that six of the 15 Biggest Gun Companies in the World are listed on US stock exchanges.

The biggest Gun company, Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO) is based in the United States. It is a manufacturer and marketer of outdoor sports and recreation products. The company also operates in shooting sports and is the owner of many ammunition makers such as Remmington. By 2019 year end, Vista Outdoor Inc (NYSE: VSTO)’s stock traded for around $7. By 2021, Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO)’s stock became a hot favorite of many hedge funds.

One such hedge fund, ClearBridge Investments, published its “Small Cap Value Strategy” for the second quarter of 2021, and here is what it had to say about Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO): “Our Strategy outperformed with strong results from consumer discretionary stocks likeVista Outdoor. Vista Outdoor, a manufacturer of a wide range of products serving the outdoor sports and recreation markets, also performed well in the period on continued demand and growing margins.”

The second largest gun company, Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ: SPWH), is also based in the United States. Its stock trades at $4.93 and has shown a 46.76% decrease on a year-to-date basis on 28th August 2023. Warehouse Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ: SPWH)’s revenue for the year 2022 was $1.4 Billion, which was 7.08% lower than its revenue for the year 2021. This was the first time since 2014, that the revenue of Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ: SPWH) decreased compared to the last year.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.
