Paul: 5 Must-Have Traits for Today’s Bull Market
In today’s bull market — where stubbornly high interest rates and persistent inflation challenge every investor’s strategy — picking winners means focusing on five critical traits:
💵 Strong cash flows today
📈 Rock-steady revenue
💪 Pricing power
📃 Minimal (or no) debt
🌎 Scarcity
These qualities aren’t just nice-to-haves.
They deliver resilience and growth in an economy where inflation and high rates are here to stay.
Here’s why they’re your ticket to outsmarting the market . . . 👇
Cash Is King 💸 — Right Now
Why bet on shaky future profits that inflation erodes?
Companies flush with cash today are safe harbors in stormy markets.
And electric utilities are a perfect example.
Their reliable revenue — driven by constant demand for electricity that’s now supercharged by the massive energy needs of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers — can shield investors from market swings.
Electric utilities are uniquely positioned to cash in on the AI boom, making them the best bet to benefit from this unstoppable trend — in our opinion.
In an economy where high interest rates punish speculative bets, companies with current strong cash flows provide investors both stability and upside.
Revenue That Never Rests ⚡
I believe steady revenue is the heartbeat of a winning investment — especially as inflation keeps prices soaring.
Electric utilities again lead the pack.
Fueled by unwavering demand for power and supported by skyrocketing AI-driven energy needs, they can expect to see consistent income.
Avoid the speculative stocks of the last bull cycle . . .
Their rollercoaster earnings are now a trap for investors.
With AI pushing electricity demand to new heights, utilities are the best bet to profit from this trend, offering a shield against economic chaos and stable returns you can anticipate.
Pricing 🏷️ Power = Profit Power 💪
If a company can raise prices to match rising expenses while maintaining its sales — or slash prices to steal market share — it wins.
That’s pricing power.
This powerful edge comes from clever production or operating in tariff-friendly regions.
Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) is a master here.
Its scale and manufacturing efficiency allows it to slash prices (or keep them low) to stay ahead and outmaneuver legacy car makers.
This advantage allows TSLA 0.00%↑ to dominate markets while staying profitable, crushing competitors scrambling under inflation’s weight.
Skip the Debt Bomb 💣
High interest rates are here to stay, making low or no debt crucial for companies that want to thrive.
Companies drowning in debt face crushing borrowing costs that devour profits.
Many consumer staples stocks that pay dividends appear safe . . . boasting solid cash flows and steady revenue.
However, they fail the debt test.
Many are saddled with debt from buybacks and financial tricks.
That’s not strength — it’s a trap.
These moves hide weaknesses, effectively setting the company up for failure in a high interest rate environment.
Instead, look for companies with clean balance sheets or minimal debt.
Their freedom to reinvest cash — or reward shareholders — is a lifeline in a market where borrowing is a burden.
Scarcity 🌎 Sells
In a world of soaring inflation, scarcity shines.
Think gold, silver, rare earths, nuclear energy — assets with a finite or limited supply are in hotter demand than ever.
Companies involved with these scarce assets are likely to boom as money chases limited supplies.
Gold and silver hold value as inflation-proof havens.
Rare earths power electric vehicles (EVs), and nuclear energy shines in a volatile market driven by persistent economic pressures.
Final Take: Focus on What Works 🎯
To win this bull market, focus on companies with:
Cash that’s flowing now
Unshakable revenue
Pricing power to defend margins
Minimal debt and lean balance sheets
Scarce resources
These traits are your armor against unrelenting inflation and high interest rates . . .
And a path toward unlocking opportunities that have potential to deliver lasting gains.

#OGI100: Monday, June 2, 2025
The #OGI100 is up 0.11% today.
Created on September 22, 2022, the #OGI100 is an index/portfolio comprised of opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto-related investments.
Our goals with the #OGI100 are twofold . . .
First, we want readers to get a sense of what our investments are doing in the market, because they can sometimes perform very differently than traditional indices (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
Second, we’d like to eventually turn the #OGI100 into an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
That way, instead of owning hundreds of growth stocks, you can get exposure to ATG Digital thinking — in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto — all in one place.
To learn more or to express your support for the launch of an ETF (by completing a poll), click here.
