Dean: First They Hate It, Now They Love It ๐ญ
If you followed ATG Digital from 2023 to 2024, you had a chance at one of those once-in-a-lifetime trades.ย
The one we all dream about . . .ย
Weโre talking 2,000%+ gains!ย
Iโll be the first to say, we donโt always get it right.ย
But we nailed it with this one.ย
Hereโs how we did it! ๐
A Needle in a Haystack ๐ชก
I want to preface with a disclaimer: Gains of this nature donโt come often.ย
And when they do, they often stem from a hated stock โ one that most of the market is short while a handful of conviction buyers absorb shares.ย
That was precisely the case for online car retailer, Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA).ย
It was in freefall for months amid bankruptcy rumors โ crashing from $360 a share to just $4!ย
Despite that, Paul Mampilly, our lead analyst, named it the comeback stock of 2023 in his YouTube video:
If youโre a subscriber, you may remember how we were grilled for holding this stock.ย
But who could blame them? You couldnโt ask for worse optics:
๐ป It was one of the most shorted stocks for nearly a year.
๐ป There was growing concern that it would go bankrupt.
๐ป Legacy media took every chance it could to bash it.
๐ป It was constantly downgraded by analysts.ย
But then the unimaginable happened . . .ย
In an earnings release, the company confirmed that revenue did dip, but it was able to resolve its looming debt issues.
Suddenly, the future didnโt seem so bleak for CVNA 0.00%โ, and the stock began to spike as investors who were short had to cover:
It Pays to Be In the Know ๐ค
We never sold this stock when it began to dip, so we only managed to capture a 496% gain in our Gold Tier model portfolio.ย
But as for our subscribers?ย
On a weekly basis, we shared stocks from our portfolios that we thought looked very cheap as the market went south โ CVNA 0.00%โ being one of them.ย
Just look at Robertโs concern while sitting on a 2,000% gain:
Do you think he sold? (Robert, please let us know if you held or not! ๐)ย
Just a reminder that these gains donโt happen every day, and Iโm not suggesting borrowing against your home to buy CVNA 0.00%โ โ please exercise caution.ย
You should also know that this gain didnโt emerge overnight.ย
We held it for over two years, and it was a BRUTAL hold.ย
That said, hereโs what you should know about CVNA 0.00%โ now.ย
Carvana Is Here to Stay ๐
There are still some who doubt this company, but we believe CVNA 0.00%โ is here to stay.ย
Thatโs clear to us now that the stock is up over 7,000% from lows of $4.05.
Just look at its earnings from the first quarter (Q1) of the year:
๐ Retail units sold increased 46% year over year (YoY) to about 134,000.
๐ Revenue increased 38% YoY to $4.2 billion.
๐ Gross profit increased a whopping 57% YoY to $929 million.
๐ It has cash on hand to continue operations ($1.8 billion).ย
Anticipating this growth, we added it back to our Silver Tier model portfolio as a core holding in February of this year.ย ย
So far, weโre sitting on a 17% gain, but weโll continue to hold to potentially capture more gains.ย
Our Silver Tier houses our strongest conviction plays โ companies that are transforming their industry, like CVNA 0.00%โ .ย

#OGI100: Wednesday, May 21, 2025
The #OGI100 is up 0.31% 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, weโd 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 โ in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto โ all in one place.
