[Charts] A New Digital Gold Goes Mobile By Lou Basenese Friday, May 7, 2021 It’s Friday in the Trend Trader Daily Nation, which means it’s time to go to the graphics! Each week, I hand-select several charts to drive home a timely investment or economic insight. I keep the commentary short and let the pretty pictures do (most of) the talking. So let’s get to it… ADVERTISEMENT VLEO Set to Surge 1,382%?!?! Write these letters down: V L E O According to America's #1 disruptive technology expert, Lou Basenese... VLEO could be the most important investment of the next decade. And it's set to hit a "tipping point" on July 1st, 2021... [Click here now for the full details on VLEO.]( >> Digital Payments Go Boom Again I’ve been banging the table on the [digital payments boom]( ever since the pandemic forced widespread adoption. And of course, PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) serves as a primo poster child for the boom. Guess what? Its latest results underscore the staying power of this trend that I’ve been talking about. Take a look: (click image to enlarge) Total payment volumes soared 46% year-over-year in the first quarter. Even more impressive, that growth rate has been accelerating, even as the pandemic wanes. That’s some serious momentum! Given PayPal’s entry into cryptocurrencies late last year, it represents a true “digital gold” investment. Especially since a super version of the PayPal app is slated for launch in Q3. It’ll be an all-in-one platform that CEO Dan Schulman says will provide a “customized and unique shopping, financial services, and payments experience.” All Mobile, All the Time Let’s be real, though. The surge in digital and contactless payments wouldn’t be possible without mobile phones. They act as the enabling technology to facilitate adoption. I’m sure we all know how prevalent mobile phones have become. Over 4.8 billion people own one. But do we truly understand the extent to which they dominate our lives? Here’s a quick graphic to drive it home... (click image to enlarge) As you can see in the chart, the average person uses their mobile phone 58 times per day, for an average of 4 hours and 12 minutes. The investment implications are unavoidable: Any consumer-facing company needs to have a strong mobile strategy. Insist on it for any companies you’re considering buying! Furthermore, any technologies that can improve mobile phone performance or experience should also be at the top of your buy list… That includes companies providing critical 5G chips, like Resonant Inc. (RESN), as well as enabling technology that boosts performance for all chips, like Atomera Inc. (ATOM). Ahead of the tape, [Lou Basenese] Lou Basenese [Terms & Privacy](| [Unsubscribe]( 301 S.
