Dean: Paul’s Big Bet on a “Junky” Company 👀
I remember Paul telling the analysts a story — you may have heard this one, too — about a junky company he invested in nearly 20 years ago.
Except, the company was labeled “junky” by the media and Wall Street analysts — and the analysis was based more on fear than fundamentals.
It’s human nature to fear change, and this company was ushering in a whole world of change. The hate for this stock was so loud that Paul almost didn’t invest in this “junky” company’s IPO.
But he did, and he won big!
You wouldn’t believe it, but the company I’m referring to is now known as Google, a company with a $1.64 trillion market cap.
Just look at the comments on its IPO back in 2004:
The headline of this article is aptly titled: “That Was Then: The Worst Google IPO Calls.”
This ordeal is important because the same negative sentiment follows innovative growth stocks today. Human psychology, as it relates to embracing change, hasn’t shifted that much.
That’s why it’s important to look at the fundamentals of the company and the growth ahead of it rather than follow mainstream media’s take on the market.
That’s what we’re about at ATG Digital, and today’s company profile, albeit a small company, is teeming with innovation and years of big growth!
Uber of the Air 🚁
Remember when Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) became a thing? No one believed that it’d lead to the upheaval of taxis internationally and disrupt that market.
But it did.
There was even some press about taxi drivers protesting by pulling UBER 0.00%↑ drivers out of their cars because they could no longer compete with them.
We think Blade Air Mobility Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDE) could be the UBER 0.00%↑ of the skies!
BLDE 0.00%↑ is a technology-powered, urban air mobility company priced at $3.55 with a market cap of $259 million.
It primarily operates as a helicopter transportation service, providing on-demand aviation services to various destinations.
It connects travelers with chartered flights, allowing them to book seats or entire helicopters for commuting between city centers, nearby airports, or other popular destinations.
It also provides services to hospitals by transporting organs. And BLDE 0.00%↑ is in pursuit of a pretty big opportunity:
Judging by its Q2 earnings, it looks like BLDE 0.00%↑ stands a good chance of being a dominant winner in this market.
Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop 📈
In Q1 2023, BLDE 0.00%↑ saw 70% growth in revenue year over year! That’s huge!
In Q2 2023, BLDE 0.00%↑ reported a monster 71% growth in revenue year over year.
In terms of trips labeled as medical, it brought in $34.4 million — up 99% year over year. Short-distance revenue is also up 75% sequentially.
Flight profit increased 103% sequentially, representing $10.4 million! BLDE 0.00%↑ also has $37 million in cash to continue to improve its business.
Considering the growth ahead of this market, BLDE 0.00%↑’s diverse streams of revenue, its parabolic year-over-year growth, and its hefty cash holdings, we’ll continue to hold it in our Gold Tier portfolio.
Kick Mainstream Media to the Curb 🦶
Don’t be like all the people who relied on mainstream media experts and ultimately missed out on Google’s IPO. 😭

However, we’ll be updating the performance, and we want to remind folks that our goal is to turn the #GBC100 into an ETF that offers a one-stock way to invest the ATG way — in innovation and growth.

Being truthful, I’ve been downtrodden looking at my suffering portfolio 🥹🫣
This message was written for me😎
I know I know, I talk the talk most times, but I need to walk the walk and TRUST🙏🏻🌈
For the record, I listen to no one, but solely on Paul and his incredible team of forward thinking amazing souls🫶🏼 #nomostatic🫨
Paul, start taking better care of your health. You are spreading yourself too thin. I want you to have a longer life than your father. The stress is not good for your health long term. Always enjoy reading what you write, but it is still too early for the mid-cap, small-cap, and micro-cap because a lot more of them are down each day then higher. August through October are typical weak months for stocks each year. Your old recommendation from "Profit Unlimited" when you started recommending stocks are doing better than the recent years recommendations. A lot of those recommendations will not come back because the companies cannot raise money to fund ongoing operations and are diluting old investors stock positions. I have sold them a long time ago and moved my money into the best of breed large-cap stocks. I am up nicely over the last 12 months. I am still up for this week.
