Billionaire Jeremy Grantham issues MAJOR Market Warning.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Homo sapiens is is I have
only two lessons. One of them is that
Homo sapiens is is hugely tilted to
wanting good news. A desperate
preference for good news over bad news.
Why not? Uh I I I get that. And the
other is they have no interest at all in
the future. They extrapolate today's
conditions forever. So if you're sitting
there in 1929 and the data looks good
and you're growing at 7% annualized GDP,
what the hell have you got to worry
about? We never anticipate anything.
Just step back
and um look at the data. Does it look
good? Does the future look good?
And um don't be conned into
being super optimistic by the
professionals, by the industry that
makes money from overconfidence. Lots
and lots of money.
>> Whoa.
This is a huge like bearish kind of
warning. And and we were just scrolling
around to see where Sarah Eisen had
gone. uh because we haven't seen her on
CNBC. She's not posting on Instagram.
She doesn't have any Instagram stories.
We're not blocked yet. So, we're like,
"Where is Sarah Eisen?" So, you know, we
do the usual welfare check. And so, what
do we do? You know, we we go on Twitter.
Ah, well, there she is. 4 hours ago.
This was good. Tips for spotting bubbles
and cautionary tales of optimism. Jeremy
Grantham with Wilfford Frost. Well,
let's make sure to add our heart uh to
to that one.
>> Show up.
>> And uh then what we need to do is think
about what he's saying here. He's
basically referring
to in 1929 when the stock market is at
excessive levels of enthusiasm and greed
or whatever. You know, nobody wanted to
hear anything negative. People just
wanted to hear positive because as he
says, humans are wired to only want to
hear good news. uh and he's basically
saying the entire financial industry uh
so in other words you know the stock
market the suits uh people you know with
whatever they've got going on like I
don't know the tokenization
securizations or whatever they benefit
off of you believing that up is the only
way uh you know to some extent and this
isn't really a you know this is not
designed to be a slight or whatever at
Michael Sailor, but to some extent when
Michael Sailor, what feels like on every
single Green Day posts these AI images
of himself basically, you know, doing
stuff like this.
Just get in orange tie AI image. Or
here's a good one. Uh where was it? Uh
just get in. Oh, there was another one
where Oh, yeah. The halls of eternity
echo with the circles of those who sold
the their Bitcoin. In other words, like
if you sell, you're going to be a crier.
And I mean, here he is, I guess, AI
symphony and Bitcoin major
by the future. Like, Michael Sailor's
lifestyle is funded by people believing
in in Bitcoin, frankly. So, again, I'm
not trying to slight Sailor. I'm just
saying it is true. A lot of people make
money off of things, markets going up
because it's not just that the
underlying prices are going up, it's
that there's more volume. When there's
more volume, market makers make more
money, broker dealers make more money,
researchers make more money, analysts
make more money, AI data tools around
financial analysis make more money,
financial adviserss make more money
because the AUM fees go up. Literally,
everyone gets paid more to be bullish.
Mind you, also if you say something and
and I want you to know this about the
psychology of markets, it's it's
probably so important that it's worth
writing down on something. Oh, you know
what we're going to do is is we're going
to write it down. No, I was going to
write it down on this, but there's no
there's not enough white on this. Have
you ever had one of these? By the way,
hashtagnotsponsored,
but I have these in my drawer and I
refuse to open them. Man, they look
good. Can't smell any of it right now,
but um yeah, kinder chocolada. They're
good. Uh but anyway, I'm trying to train
for a marathon. So um and then I also
have some Haribo Mindafro Happy Hoppers
in here. Yeah, I don't know why I have
this up, but anyway, it's so important
to say what I'm about to say that may as
well get a nice little yellow legal pad
here. Okay. All right. So
uh if
you are a bear on X okay so like you
know this could be any stock right any
stock any security or whatever you have
to understand how the algorithms work if
you are a bearer on you know whatever it
is Palunteer
Tesla whatever
uh algos
feed you to that audience, right? The
algo pushes you to that audience. Nobody
who
is invested in Palante or Tesla wants to
hear you being a bear, but the algos
will feed you to those people. So you
will always get sort of the hate and
there's no benefit to being a bear
because the people who aren't going to
buy Palanteer or Tesla probably aren't
being fed the algo for your bearish take
on Palunteer or Tesla, right? It's like
the people who are pro Palanteer or
Tesla are going to be fed your Palanteer
comments. And if you're a bear, you just
get hate. And if you're a blind bull,
like you raise your price targets every
day or you're just sort of like a clown
that only shills the upside because
there could never be a downside and
there can never be a recession again and
the Fed's just going to print us out out
of everything, which is a total lie. Uh
but whatever. You kind of
always uh win because if the market goes
down, it's not your fault because you
shield how great the product is. Oh,
it's the product that's good. The market
is just being fussy. If the stock goes
up, you're a brilliant analyst. And
remember, the algo is pitching you to
that demographic anyway. So, in other
words, social media motivates the
constant perpetuation of optimism and
hype and opium. And I think that's what
Jeremy here is saying, Grantham is
saying in a way that can actually be
amplified when you consider how
algorithms work today that bulls make
money. Bears don't, but listen to the
rest of this. I haven't listened to that
either.
um look around for signs of crazy bubbly
behavior to the moon to the moon sort of
thing which we have seen as splendidly
in this last several years as we have
ever seen in history which is a high
hurdle.
>> Mhm.
>> Just use your own brains and uh if you
don't want to follow my advice and buy
international stocks and and some and
and keep plenty of cash.
>> Wow. allocating outside of the US. I'm a
big fan of Train America, mind you, but
he's basically saying, "Hey, allocate to
international markets and cash because
the US is in a bubble." Which is really
interesting because then when you look
at this, take a look at this
individual's chart. This is I don't know
whoever this is from I3 Invest. Uh oh,
that's their I3 Invest. Okay, whatever.
NASDAQ 100 adjusted for M2 money supply.
We are past the.com bubble. NASDAQ 100
adjusted for corporate profit. Also past
the dot levels.
Kind of interesting.
Another thing to think about
is let's look at the August 1 tariff
rates and compare them to the April 2nd
Liberation Day tariff rates.
Higher. A lot higher. Little lower.
Little lower. The same. A smidge lower.
Higher.
Little lower. The same. Little lower.
The same. Little lower. Little lower.
Little lower. The same. Little lower.
Higher.
Little lower. Little lower. Higher.
Higher. The same.
uh and and then here a little lower both
of these. So you could see that these
tariff rates on the right, they're not
so substantially different on these
countries here than what we had on
liberation day. In fairness, what you
don't see here are some of the big
trading partners like Mexico and China.
Although China 55%,
you know, it's still pretty up there. So
yeah, I mean I think Jeremy has Granthm
here has has a a very interesting point.
Uh but you know, then again, maybe
markets are just designed to keep going
up. After all, uh Eric Trump wants you
to know that it feels like a great time
to enter Bitcoin. And then he tweeted
today, you're welcome.
And then somebody posted this chart.
Good time to buy.
Told you.
pretty priceless. But anyway, so uh in
our hunt for trying to figure out why
Sarah Eisen doesn't seem to be on CNBC
anymore, at least we haven't seen her in
a while, it seems like. Uh I'm sure she
is, but we we just haven't seen her in a
bit. We find this Granthm post and it's
kind of interesting that makes you
scratch your head a little bit of bubble
warning.
>> Why not advertise these things that you
told us here? I feel like nobody else
knows about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes.
>> Congratulations, man. You have done so
much. People love you. People look up to
you.
>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to
get your take.
