Fed to cut Rates to ZERO! PREPARE
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh boy oh boy oh boy the Federal Reserve
might have to cut rates all the way to
zero or negative especially based on
what Goldman Sachs just posted this is
wild now just a heads up Lauren's
driving right now so I'm in the
passenger seat and we're going to cover
this but this is wild so this topic
right now has to do with temporary labor
being a leading indicator for what's
coming and this is a really interesting
one because if right now you think yay
the yield curve uninverted don't be so
excited when the yield curve steepens
that is when the number goes bigger and
more positive we're usually in a more
painful environment look at what the
yield curve did all the way back in last
summer when we had three months of pain
you know July August September three
month of pain we had three month of
yield curve going up well now it's
breaking through positive and that's
kind of like what you saw in 07 and
leading into other recessions where when
you spike up from where we are now
positive like six bases points up to 50
it starts hurting really fast now we'll
talk about how to prepare for this but
this is a very interesting piece from
Goldman Sachs so Goldman Sachs here
suggests that temporary employment
historically serves as a leading
indicator for broader labor market
performance with the lead time a little
bit elongated this cycle potentially due
to labor hoarding however the data
they're collecting suggests that nonfarm
employment will worsen over the next
several quarters usually temporary
employment Skyrocket well I shouldn't
say Skyrocket temporary employment
employment plummets to a negative
year-over-year growth rate only in
recession that happened in 1991 and we
only went positive again after the
recession ended it happened in 2001 and
temporary employment year-over-year
plummeted negative and we only went
positive again after the recession was
over it happened in 2008 and it only
went positive again after the recession
was over and we have now been negative
since the end of
2022 which suggests that maybe because
of the AI Euphoria and that investment
that capex investment we may have
delayed the inevitable here but usually
we don't go positive again with
temporary employment till we come out of
a recession in fact you can pop over if
you want you could pull it up yourself
to the St Louis Federal Reserve uh the
Fred we like to say uh and you could
take a peek wow Tesla stock was down
8.45 today that's wild Q's down 3%
that's wild but anyway uh you could take
a peak uh at specifically this chart or
one of the charts if you want to see
them uh it it's uh I can't seem to pull
it up on my iPad right now but that's
okay uh but I was going to tell you
exactly what phrase to look for oh here
it is all employees temporary Help
Services all employees temporary Help
Services look at that chart and you can
see it only goes negative uh in
recessions and uh it's been trending
down quite a little bit here since the
end of 22 but it is usually a leading
indicator by about three to four four
quarters per Goldman Sachs of a
recession coming now why could this
potentially mean that rates have to go
down to zero or this crazy talk negative
well because Goldman a goes on to say
it's not just negative operating
leverage declining revenues declining
earnings revisions that are all leading
to additional macro uncertainty right
now and potentially hiring freezes and
then just labor hoarding your longer
term employees while getting rid of your
temporary employees to sort of try to
boost earnings and increase cash flow
but consider this generative AI is
increasingly being considered a
potential medium to longer term threat
to Staffing volumes both temporary and
permanent and this is a really
interesting thought because now you want
to think about this what happens if we
don't get a second wave of inflation and
the Federal Reserve task is not worrying
about inflation but it's rather only
worrying about jobs this could happen
because Supply chains became so darn
loose it's entirely possible that we
don't have inflation even if we go back
to quantitative easing which sounds
crazy I know but it's possible but we'll
skip the inflation argument here for a
moment and let's just focus on labor for
a moment what happens if we go through a
labor recession over the next year here
maybe even two years probably next year
you know maybe q1 Q3 somewhere in that
range of next year you go through a
labor driven
recession even coming out of that
recession you may never hire back as
many employees as youf seen hired in the
postco economy which means there are
going to be a a lot of people for a very
long time who were permanently out of
work uh and of course some of those
discouraged workers or long-term
unemployed don't uh show up in the
unemployment readings but in the near
term we could see the unemployment rate
Skyrocket and that will drive the
Federal Reserve to drive frankly rates
down to zero or potentially even
negative now you might wonder wait wait
wa wait negative that's stupid that
hasn't been done before well it actually
has been done before it's been done in
Germany and it happened in 2019 right
before the pandemic in fact if you go
back on my channel I warned about the
potential for coming negative rates in
the long-term future assuming obviously
I mean back then nobody was thinking
there was going to be a big pandemic but
absent the pandemic we were trending
towards negative rates which is crazy
because it started happening in Europe
think about what negative rates mean for
a moment they mean that hey now when you
have money sitting in a money market or
in a savings account and you're not
either investing it or deploying it you
are getting back less money after a year
than you put in so you put 1,000 bucks
in and then you end up with
$995 that's crazy that's like the
opposite of what happens when you buy
the courses on building your wealth like
the one that's expiring tonight oh
actually all the courses have a coupon
code expiring tonight those go up in
value over time which means you have to
pay more over time so consider joining
since you had lifetime access may as
well join sooner rather than later
anyway email us at staff at
meetkevin.com if you have questions but
that's over at meetkevin.com
we do have an expiring coupon tonight uh
we did have an option that doubled this
morning which was freaking sick so uh
good trading day uh but uh thank you
treasuries anyway that was great you can
watch my prior video to see more about
that one but anyway think about this for
a moment you put a th000 bucks into a
money market what if you get $995 back
oopsies that's not great after a year
you're expecting to get ,05 back you
know your principal back and $5 more
back well not if you have negative
yields and now why would that happen
well that would happen in an environment
where potentially well first things
first you'd cut all the way down to zero
then you turn on the money printer and
you try to stimulate demand uh for
people hiring but if people don't hire
because they could do more with workers
using AI or they can do more with
workers who are uh uh you know basically
just fully replaced by artificial
intelligence well then you're an
environment where oopsy doopsy you might
just never end up at the same levels of
employment as where you are now and that
sucks so the Federal Reserve might not
react to that though the Federal Reserve
might end up in a position where they
say uh no uh people are going to hire
people again of course let's just keep
rolling the money printer yes there's
always the risk that that ends up
driving inflation but I think the odds
of driving a second wave of inflation
are relatively low because of how loose
Supply chains have gotten and actually
this is a crazy thing usually one of the
big drivers of inflation is labor when
labor gets really tight it causes
inflation wages go up and then
businesses try to pass through those
wages so beyond just expanding service
capabilities through AI or not or
manufacturing capabilities or lower
freight costs or whatever beyond that
you actually think from wait a minute if
labor is less necessary then labor cost
don't go up anymore every year you end
up getting labor deflation labor
deflation means disinflation or
deflation across the board and then what
do you end up with well then you end up
with a poopy doopy situation where you
might end up with negative yields and so
this is a big warning here from Goldman
Sachs suggesting that temporary staff
indust industry Trends have historically
served as a leading indicator for
broader term labor market performance uh
with the current lead time a little bit
elongated because of the labor hoarding
we've seen But when that labor hoarding
goes away it's over it's a poopy
doopy anyway hey do you want to go to
Westlake so you can charge since this
Tesla Supercharger station is full dude
this is crazy this place is Never full
this place is Never full and even though
this place is Never full for the
superchargers was absolutely crazy is
there's not even a single Ford or rivan
or other car here it's all t Tes so what
happens when they start opening this
crap up to other companies forget
getting the charge damn it Tesla you
know I was having a debate with somebody
on uh on X somebody on X is like uh oh
you know uh the future of FSD uh is
going to be all Tesla every car in the
future will use Tesla just like Windows
inside and I'm like Windows Vista I
tried putting that the only thing
Windows Vista would load into was a sh
that's the only thing my Windows Vista
disc would load into it sucked so uh but
anyway uh no no companies realize the
way to make profit is to White Label the
software you end up using an Nvidia
Drive uh like the Orin or Thor platform
and you end up using your own wh labeled
service hey h hold on to say hey how you
doing they're all overheating like crazy
they're overheating that's like the
third one I've tried
that's crazy yeah let's go to the West
like one thank you for the heads up it
might
maybe uh oh your your car is
overheating the charger the
Chargers that's crazy okay well let's
try here that we'll try a little bit we
we're down at like 10% so
oh it's taking like three times as long
with the
heat oh it's cycling
yeah yeah makes
sense everybody's complaining about
sorry thank you for that heads
up thank you appreciate it uh everybody
in Tesla Community they're so nice
everybody's so nice but that's not good
can you back into that spot and then go
ahead and plug Us in uh and then after
you plug Us in let's see if it happens
to us but yeah I'll just make a quick
Tesla note here you know soft where is
look you know a lot of people white
label wine right what they do is they
they go to a winery and they're like hey
your wine tastes great that that's how
they can W write off their wine tasting
visits as well yeah yeah your wine
tastes great I want to put my label on
it so you make like a meat Kevin wine
and it's actually you know I don't know
some Charles River wine or whatever
right and you just slapped your label on
it they don't care because they're
selling more you know barrels of wine
and for you you get at your label on
wine you're like yes I have my own wine
brand I'm a wine
connoisseur it's it's the same thing you
just go out there and push the little
triangle button on it and it'll pop open
uh I it's um it's the same thing with
Tesla in my opinion because what's going
to end up happening is you're going to
have companies that say wh why why do I
want to use Tesla first of all Tesla
can't even get this crap working in a
cyber Tru so why am I going to use Tesla
if I could just use use the Nvidia
platform put my own labels on it
Mercedes Neo or whatever it doesn't even
have to be Nvidia it could be uh mobile
ey or whomever right uh and and they put
their own branding on it then they don't
have to pay anyone else for it uh and
boom they got their own software stack
that they can profit off of you know
even on a prior earnings call at Tesla
they said hey it's going to be even if
even if we signed an agreement today for
licensing FSD it would take three years
to show up in the cars too late man that
takes way too freaking long so uh no no
no I think uh I think there's a lot of
uh looniness uh in hopium on FSD
personally I think Tesla is a great
vehicle what they really ought to do is
not license all these freaking Chargers
to third parties what they ought to
freaking
do is sell more cars so include the FSD
for free sell more freaking Vehicles
Mass produce let's get to 10 million
vehicles of production let's expand
rather than then trying to squeeze every
penny out of the
existing and uh and let's get the
network effects of Tesla going before we
have a car accident here my goodness
this lot's turning into a crazy
craziness over here anyway don't forget
to plug your charger or plug your car in
at night we were getting our car washed
last night so I didn't plug it in like a
little dummy the rare time I got a drive
oh well I get to enjoy the supercharger
experience man I wish I could just stop
at a gas station and get myself a
monster and be
gone Lauren doesn't want to be on camera
but she's so coo today oh you know what
her face says her face right now it's
saying there's an expiring coupon code

advantage of it before the price goes up
