Paul: Your Action Plan to Stay Ahead 📝
In the real world — there’s no crystal ball that can tell you your fortune.
However, there are signs to watch for when preparing for the next shift.
Signs that — have helped me call major market shifts right about 60% to 70% of the time throughout my three-decade-long career.
Obviously, I’m no psychic — so nothing I say is guaranteed to happen.
However, at times like these: rising tension between the U.S. and Iran, trade war ensuing, and a monumental amount of government debt coming to market — we look to data to hint toward the future.
Global Markets on the Brink
Thanks to the U.S. government’s rising debt and interest rates threatening market volatility, the global financial landscape is at a tipping point.
In our exclusive webinar for Purple Tier members, I outlined concerns about the yield curve — tracking U.S. Treasury bond interest rates — and its impact on investors like you.
That said, here’s a preview of what to expect . . .
Beware of the Debt Bomb 💣
The U.S. owes a lot of money.
Government debt has hit $37 trillion, driving deficits and interest payments.
Short-term treasury yields are at 4.2%, with long-term yields slightly higher.
This level of inflation and spending caused the bond market to be wary of inflation, reckless spending, and cautious about long-term bonds overall.
I predict long-term yields could climb to 5.5% to 6%, while short-term yields could fall to 2% to 3%, steepening the yield curve.
This could rattle markets, especially companies tied to low interest rates.
So, here’s how we’re bracing for market turbulence . . .
⚠️ Prepare for Impact ⚠️
Should interest rates suddenly spike, the S&P 500 could drop 15% to 20% or reprice gradually in the coming months.
While tech stocks could falter, in the market recovery, cyclical companies linked to economic growth could shine.
This environment bodes well for smaller companies as well.
However, markets seem unprepared.
Take the National Association of Active Investment Managers, or NAAIM Exposure Index — which shows how much investment managers are putting into stocks — for example.
The NAAIM Exposure Index shows that managers’ equity exposure is at pre-2024 election levels.
We also have the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate, or MOVE Index, which details put-and-call option ratios.
This metric allows investors to interpret low volatility and overconfidence.
I’m sharing these sources in hopes that you stay proactive and informed to tackle challenges and seize opportunities in this uncertain economic climate.
Bottom Line 🧐
To safeguard your portfolio:
Assess Risk Tolerance: Gauge how much market turbulence you can stomach.
Review Holdings: Avoid companies bloated with debt.
Raise Cash: Build a cash buffer against volatility.
Stay Alert: Track bond yields and indicators like the NAAIM Exposure Index, MOVE index, 52 week high-low levels and put-call ratios for warning signs.
While I don’t have an official count, over my career, I’ve called major market shifts right 60% to 70% of the time.
Obviously, that means what I’m saying is not a certainty or guarantee.
Still, between two hot wars, a trade war, July and August events approaching, and a monumental amount of government debt coming to market with little demand for it, the best way to beat the markets is to stay informed.
Now, if you’re an ATG subscriber, you know that we’ve made massive changes to our portfolios recently that account for the scenario I’ve laid out.
Our investments in gold, electricity, energy, Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD) and altcoins — among others ⎯ look poised to breakout as they’re sensitive to economic growth.
That means as asset prices reset for this new economic environment, we’ll be perfectly positioned to benefit.
If you’re looking for investment ideas that can do well in these new conditions, now's a good time to subscribe to ATG.
Rather than allowing fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) direct your portfolio, plug into real market insights and portfolio recommendations to benefit from what we see unfolding.

#OGI100: Monday, June 23, 2025
The #OGI100 is up 0.96% 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.
