Flipping.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh boy you've all been waiting for it
the giant meet Kevin
flipflop what a day the stock market S&P
500 1 a 12% over all-time highs Tesla up
nearly 7% Jim Kramer poops on paler so
badly yesterday calling it a barometer
of momentum a meme stock a CT stock and
he's not even sure if it's actually a
stock I tweeted about this on X by the
way posted about it uh and pound your up
everything's going up the market is in
full-fledged Euphoria mode and
everybody's been waiting for Kevin to
say this is it this is the fundamental
data we have been looking for that says
this is it we are going all in baby we
are going back to being
Bulls well the morning as many and we're
going to talk about it here but this
morning as many of you over uh frankly
somewhere around 1500 or 2,000 of you
that already know about this thank you
so much for joining me this morning in
our course member live stream those of
you we already went through a 48 minute
custom course member live on exactly
positioning evaluations and thoughts and
remember we still got that flash sale
going on until noon so if you want to be
part of that you got a few hours left
here to hop in on that flash sale check
that out by going to meet Kevin
and you can always for the rest of
forever get those course member live
streams so if in 8 years you're like I
wonder what Kevin's 48 minute
positioning update is you too could see
it and see my thesis and rationale
behind everything but for now we've got
to talk about going bullish because
frankly right now what's happening in
markets is markets are saying huh maybe
we need to take profit on our recession
Hedges you saw gold move down a little
bit you saw bonds move down a little bit
uh which are generally considered
recession Hedges uh and now you're
seeing
recession uh uh you know recovery plays
which are generally considered risk
assets right think about uh when the
Federal Reserve capitulates like they
did at the bottom of the market in 2009
at the bottom of the market in uh March
of 2003 at the bottom of the market uh
you know in in the late 80s when the FED
capitulates it's usually at the bottom
of the market and it's time to go all in
because risk asset
Moon NASDAQ goes to alltime highs uh
small cap Skyrocket you know crypto
related assets if they existed back then
would probably go to all-time
highs fed capitulation is a great time
to go all in and so a lot of folks are
wondering Kevin is is this a Fed
capitulation uh and we have to
understand the fundamentals of this and
I think history is an interesting guide
so first of all right now we are getting
a turning point in the FED as drone
Powell likes to call it a recalibration
but is this a Federal Reserve
capitulation is this the FED saying hey
we are just going to go all in and
bailout
markets no what we actually got was the
Federal Reserve saying hey everything's
fine we're just going to try to front
run some labor market weakening
interesting so to front run labor market
weakening what you're going to do is
you're going to try to drive yields down
but what you ineffect did is you
actually drove yields up because people
are covering their recession Hedges and
yields went up so now all of a sudden
when you look at the ADP employment
report and you find out which sector of
the labor market is the weakest and you
realize it's small businesses small
businesses that usually aren't public
you go oh higher yields actually hurts
the weakest part of the labor market and
actually exacerbates the problem so the
FED didn't actually bail anything out
yesterday the FED certainly didn't
capitulate if anything they actually
accomplished literally the opposite of
what they're trying to accomplish they
have just tightened Financial conditions
for credit cards for loans on Teslas for
financing on solar panels for the
30-year mortgage all of those got more
expensive so think about that how weird
this is for a moment the FED Cuts rates
with a surprise
50 and every rate that people are
exposed to gets more more expensive you
know people like oh it's the start of
the rate cut cycle yay Tesla's going to
go to the moon it's true Tesla's 6 and a
half or whatever perc today but wait a
minute rate just got more expensive
expenses just went up at Tesla for them
to pay those buy Downs for you the start
of the rate cut cycle so far is doing
exactly the opposite of what we would
expect this is not a fed capitulation
this is a turning point in fed policy
but fundamentally nothing has changed we
are still in an environment with weaker
than uh historical ISM Services we uh
you know in in non-recessionary times we
should not be this weak on ISM Services
we are still in an environment where job
openings and the job market is rapidly
slowing and even Jerome Powell himself
acknowledge that you know there's going
to be a lag to our 50 basis point cut
okay great so in other words not only
are yields going up right now but your
rescuing of this jobs Market isn't
really happening yet okay great so now
all of a sudden we look and go okay so
we're not actually getting near-term
support from the Federal Reserve for
undoing a recession so what fundamental
data that we get that would indicate
maybe no recession well maybe GDP right
GDP is obviously a good predictor uh but
it's also not part of the federal
reserve's mandate the federal reserve's
mandate is around jobs and inflation and
If the Fed loses control on jobs GDP
rolls over second it is not a leading
indicator it's a lagging indicator uh
and then of course you know layoff
indications which are rightfully still
low right now and probably go down as
the stock market Rises for larger cap
companies does help us move further away
from a recession right uh because as
stock markets rise you have less of a uh
you know less of uh being near a trigger
point so to speak for layoffs where
valuations have collapsed so much that
you have to layoff just to try to save
the business you're further away from
that as a stock market hits all-time
Highs but it doesn't mean that
recessionary considerations that are
still present have all of a sudden
evaporated and so this is fascinating
because a lot of folks they look very
simply and they go oh you know Kevin's
been bearish so Kevin must be getting
smoked and what's fascinating is my
Hedge the underlying uh position that my
hedge is exposed to is down like one and
a half per. you know we talked a lot
about positioning repositioning Chang
all of that in the course member live
this morning make sure you're part of
that but it's actually kind of
remarkable because if you look at it
you're like huh
interesting usually when the market
skyrockets uh Hedges get absolutely
destroyed and smoked uh and so I think
there there are really interesting ways
not to be short the market that pay off
disproportionately well if you go into
recession but you don't want a recession
right recession is really bad for
startups all three of the startups I
have recession is really bad for but
what I'm looking at is I'm looking at
fundamental data temporary job hiring
real domestic investment spending the
repid of the steepening of the yield
curve which is now exacerbating right
we're at like 13 basis points uninverted
and usually when you get to about 50
that's when you're really triggering
that recessionary pain you're looking
for a recovery in private jobs and
healthcare jobs you're looking for
Recovery in both of those those are
still both collapsing right these are
problems of course we've got more data
coming up more jobs reports more
inflation reports we've got Q3 Q4
earnings we've got an election coming up
and so what's fascinating is looking
back at history history actually tells
us that when the Federal Reserve goes
for a 50 especially when it's unexpected
you get a near-term rally consider this
for a moment I want you to go back to
2007
2008 let's go to 2007 we cut interest
rates 50 basis points on a surprise
right about here uh September 18th
approximately and you'll notice the
NASDAQ actually Rose an additional
115% uh from the interest rate cut of 50
to all-time highs and after that 6 week
rally that you got in the stock market
the market went into session and
proceeded to Collapse by
54.5% so then I look I go well wait a
minute you know things are rallying this
is wonderful this is excellent it's time
to go all in isn't it I mean stocks are
up so everything must be good right and
so I take out my recession sheet and I
go okay cool what's fundamentally
changed well if the FED is reducing by
50 that should be bullish because it
should mean yields are going down and
we're reducing the odds of recession but
wait a minute
nothing's fundamentally changed we still
have the recessionary red flags and oh
damn yields went up which is more
recessionary not less
recessionary well that's unfortunate so
then you wonder okay well what are the
next catalysts well you have fed speak
that could talk rates down right you
could keep markets still elevated and
you could talk rates down Harker talks
tomorrow at 2 p.m. eastern time Bostic
Monday at 8 goul spe Monday at 10:15
Kari Monday at 1 Collins next Thursday
at 10 uh 9:10 Powell next Thursday at
920 write these things down Williams
Thursday at 9:25 next Thursday uh next
Thursday bar at 10:30 next Thursday
kashari at 1 uh next Friday Collins at
9:30 and two Mondays from now at 1 p.m.
you get Powell then you get the October
4th jobs report the October 10th CPI
report the November 1 jobs report then
you have the election then you have the
November 13th CPI report but because
yields are actually Rising right right
now I actually have reduced my position
on the bare bull scale you know
yesterday I'm like they went 50 this is
bullish so I went from you know 35 to 36
now I'm down to 34 CU I'm like bro this
is the market is doing the opposite in
terms of yields of what it should be
doing following this fed move and it's
eerily similar to what happened during
the last recession now remember when the
FED starts with a 50 out of the last 21
rate cut Cycles you have a 50% chance of
recession historically and so in my
opinion this is not the time to cut
Hedges and I'm not saying that you
should be all in on a hedge right we
talked about my you know $2.5 million
trades this morning are they up are they
down am I repositioning am I buying what
am I doing we talked about all that in
the course of my life make sure you're
part of that by that uh uh the course
before uh noon today the flash Sal but
remember hedging isn't supposed to be
your entire portfolio it's not supposed
to be the only thing that you have
hedging is supposed to be something
think that you know in the event of a
tail risk we call it in finance in the
event of a tail risk where you fall into
a recession you have a disproportionate
upside uh and and hopefully a more
limited
downside uh and for
me nothing has changed for me to say oh
it's time to fully flip-flop and go
bullish and buy stocks if anything
valuations have gotten more dumb paler
is trading at a 4.5 Peg and while it's
got the momentum and it can keep going
that is twice the valuation it should be
Tesla is trading at a three peg that is
nearly twice the valuation it should be
trade desk uh is trading closer to a
three peg not that bad it's actually not
that heavily overvalued uh and and then
like an end phase or ubiquity those are
actually still pretty decently valued
Nvidia is actually decently valued as
well uh relative to some of these these
sort of earnings growth metrics but I
actually think this is an environment
that is so eerily similar to 200 7 that
this idea of oh the stock market's up
it's time to flip bullish is just like
without logic or Reason and and and is
very dangerous of course there's always
the risk of uh of of you know biases or
or whatever uh but I think that's why
it's so important for everybody
individually to evaluate okay what what
information uh is useful for my
portfolio right uh and so uh if you want
go look at the 48 uh uh minute live
stream we had this morning uh but I'll
give you a hint here
uh you know am I flipping bullish
because that's what everybody's asking
me no this is
bad like I know I sound like a clown
when the stock market is is flying today
and and I'm like this is bad I know that
sounds
stupid but look at 2007 okay that's all
I got to say I love you all we'll see
you in the next one
