B’s Community Update
Hi everyone! Continuing to work through your emails. As I mentioned last week, Kate — who is our Administrative/Customer Support Manager (contact@atgdigital.media) — will be supporting your subscription needs and answering your questions.
I will continue working through the emails that I have already received, but for any new concerns or issues with your subscription, please reach out to contact@atgdigital.media.
That way, I can focus on adding more value to our services — like getting the portfolios on the website and the trade notifications going. I’m hoping to have the portfolios available by the end of the week, and then have the trade notifications ready shortly after that.
Confusion: I have seen several community members say that they are feeling confused, lost, or that they have no idea what is what. For this reason, I thought that I would break things down again to try and provide some clarity to anyone in need.
ATG Digital is your service provider that makes Paul and Ian’s services available to you, like Banyan did formerly. Instead of going to Banyan's website or receiving emails from them to get your services, you will go to atgdigital.media and receive emails from us as well.
Think of Substack (what you are reading right now) as the 'Bold Profits Daily' free newsletter that Paul had at Banyan.
The kickstarter campaign was a capital fundraiser to cover the operational costs and the salaries required to start this business, excluding Paul. You don't need to worry about this one any longer — it will be ending this week.
I hope that clears things up a bit. Now that I have broken it all down, please participate in the poll below so that we can figure out how best to serve you. (Click or tap on your answer to enter your response):
Accessing Our Services: Lastly, just to reiterate:
First things first, to access our website and sign up for/sign in to your subscription, please go to: atgdigital.media (←clickable link)
How to Access Updates: Please go click on the ‘Premium Content’ tab on our website. There, you can access all updates that are covered under your membership subscription. The updates will also be sent directly to your email address and will link you to the content as well.
What You Have Access To: As of now, we only have service updates available at this time. We’re working to get the portfolios of all of our services on the website and to set up trade alerts/SMS messages. We will provide an update as soon as that is ready to go.
Login Process: Start by clicking on the gold button in the bottom right corner of your screen that says “Subscribe/Sign In” on our website. Then, please enter your email address for your account and you will be sent a link to that email address to sign in. After your initial login, you will not need to sign in again unless you sign out.
If you put in your email address and do not receive a link, it’s likely that either you do not have a subscription set up yet, or your email address is incorrect in the system (i.e. spelling error). Please reach out to me at operations@atgdigital.media, and I will get you taken care of.
Changing Your Membership Level: You control your membership and can change your membership level at any time. As long as you are signed in to our website, you can access your account details by clicking ‘Account’ in the top right corner, or on the gold button in the bottom right corner of your screen.

That’s it for me. ❤️
3D Printing Crossing the Chasm
I have a thought I just can’t seem to shake: I believe 3D printing is about to explode in use. If I’m right about this, 3D printing stocks are setting up to rocket higher.
The onshoring of manufacturing is the catalyst that is making this happen. 3D printing has gone through the painful (for stock investors) early phases of being used by tech enthusiasts/innovators and visionaries/early adopters.
Now, there are multiple catalysts that are making the early majority/pragmatists, and even some conservatives/late majority types, use it.
A BIG Catalyst: Companies Bringing Back Jobs/Manufacturing to the U.S.
The Reshoring Institute estimates that 2022 will see 350,000 jobs brought back to the U.S. That’s 50X the number of jobs brought back to the U.S. in 2010. 50X!!!!
These Jobs Will Use 3D Printing and Are Backed by the Government
GE Aviation, Honeywell, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Siemens Energy have committed to implement massive buying of 3D-printed materials as part of the government’s Additive Manufacturing (technical term for 3D printing) Forward program.
The U.S. government is a large customer for these companies. So, these commitments are not BS. These commitments are going to generate millions of dollars of revenue for companies like DDD 0.00%↑ ,SSYS 0.00%↑, PRLB 0.00%↑ ,and others.
The Time and Timing Is Right for 3D Printing Stocks
3D printing stocks are now experiencing multiple positive catalysts. Reshoring is one. Government action is another. 3D printing technology now uses everything from metal, to resin, to human cells to make things. It’s also used across industries, stemming from aerospace, to shoe making, to buildings.
3D Printing Stocks Are Low and Cheap and Primed to Surge
In my YouTube video for this week, I laid out the case for 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD). DDD is a company that, in my opinion, is set to surge higher. DDD stock reflects none of the positive cases that I’m laying out for 3D printing.
We can see this by the fact that the cash represents nearly 50% of DDD’s $1.3 billion market capitalization. That means nearly $5 of DDD’s $10 stock price is represented in its cash balance of $638 million.
That’s just a crazy high number 🤯. And often, that’s an indication that the stock is too low. Another indication that DDD stock price may be too low is shown when considering the amount of cash on hand multiplied once against totaled sales.
I’m v v v #BOP on DDD and 3D printing stocks!
#BOP Kickstarters Will Get a Worksheet With My Deep Dive on 3D Printing Stocks
I have a deep dive on 3D printing stocks that I’m finishing up. This deep dive is going to be sent out in a Google Sheet to all the folks who kickstarted us! Thank you!
And folks who kickstarted us at the $10,000 and $1,000 level will get a personalized version of this Google Sheet with observations (not recommendations) from me on how to use the spreadsheet.
Remember, we have 3D printing stocks in Tiers 1 and 2, so we’re fully set up to benefit from everything I laid out for you.
