0:00

Homo sapiens is is I have

0:04

only two lessons. One of them is that

0:08

Homo sapiens is is hugely tilted to

0:12

wanting good news. A desperate

0:15

preference for good news over bad news.

0:17

Why not? Uh I I I get that. And the

0:20

other is they have no interest at all in

0:23

the future. They extrapolate today's

0:26

conditions forever. So if you're sitting

0:29

there in 1929 and the data looks good

0:33

and you're growing at 7% annualized GDP,

0:37

what the hell have you got to worry

0:38

about? We never anticipate anything.

0:41

Just step back

0:44

and um look at the data. Does it look

0:46

good? Does the future look good?

0:49

And um don't be conned into

0:53

being super optimistic by the

0:56

professionals, by the industry that

0:58

makes money from overconfidence. Lots

1:01

and lots of money.

1:02

>> Whoa.

1:04

This is a huge like bearish kind of

1:10

warning. And and we were just scrolling

1:12

around to see where Sarah Eisen had

1:15

gone. uh because we haven't seen her on

1:18

CNBC. She's not posting on Instagram.

1:21

She doesn't have any Instagram stories.

1:22

We're not blocked yet. So, we're like,

1:25

"Where is Sarah Eisen?" So, you know, we

1:27

do the usual welfare check. And so, what

1:29

do we do? You know, we we go on Twitter.

1:32

Ah, well, there she is. 4 hours ago.

1:35

This was good. Tips for spotting bubbles

1:38

and cautionary tales of optimism. Jeremy

1:41

Grantham with Wilfford Frost. Well,

1:43

let's make sure to add our heart uh to

1:45

to that one.

1:46

>> Show up.

1:48

>> And uh then what we need to do is think

1:50

about what he's saying here. He's

1:51

basically referring

1:54

to in 1929 when the stock market is at

1:57

excessive levels of enthusiasm and greed

1:59

or whatever. You know, nobody wanted to

2:02

hear anything negative. People just

2:04

wanted to hear positive because as he

2:07

says, humans are wired to only want to

2:09

hear good news. uh and he's basically

2:12

saying the entire financial industry uh

2:16

so in other words you know the stock

2:18

market the suits uh people you know with

2:21

whatever they've got going on like I

2:24

don't know the tokenization

2:25

securizations or whatever they benefit

2:28

off of you believing that up is the only

2:31

way uh you know to some extent and this

2:35

isn't really a you know this is not

2:37

designed to be a slight or whatever at

2:40

Michael Sailor, but to some extent when

2:42

Michael Sailor, what feels like on every

2:45

single Green Day posts these AI images

2:49

of himself basically, you know, doing

2:52

stuff like this.

2:54

Just get in orange tie AI image. Or

2:58

here's a good one. Uh where was it? Uh

3:01

just get in. Oh, there was another one

3:03

where Oh, yeah. The halls of eternity

3:07

echo with the circles of those who sold

3:10

the their Bitcoin. In other words, like

3:12

if you sell, you're going to be a crier.

3:15

And I mean, here he is, I guess, AI

3:19

symphony and Bitcoin major

3:23

by the future. Like, Michael Sailor's

3:26

lifestyle is funded by people believing

3:30

in in Bitcoin, frankly. So, again, I'm

3:33

not trying to slight Sailor. I'm just

3:34

saying it is true. A lot of people make

3:37

money off of things, markets going up

3:40

because it's not just that the

3:42

underlying prices are going up, it's

3:44

that there's more volume. When there's

3:45

more volume, market makers make more

3:47

money, broker dealers make more money,

3:49

researchers make more money, analysts

3:51

make more money, AI data tools around

3:54

financial analysis make more money,

3:56

financial adviserss make more money

3:57

because the AUM fees go up. Literally,

4:00

everyone gets paid more to be bullish.

4:03

Mind you, also if you say something and

4:06

and I want you to know this about the

4:07

psychology of markets, it's it's

4:09

probably so important that it's worth

4:12

writing down on something. Oh, you know

4:15

what we're going to do is is we're going

4:17

to write it down. No, I was going to

4:19

write it down on this, but there's no

4:21

there's not enough white on this. Have

4:23

you ever had one of these? By the way,

4:25

hashtagnotsponsored,

4:27

but I have these in my drawer and I

4:29

refuse to open them. Man, they look

4:32

good. Can't smell any of it right now,

4:35

but um yeah, kinder chocolada. They're

4:40

good. Uh but anyway, I'm trying to train

4:42

for a marathon. So um and then I also

4:45

have some Haribo Mindafro Happy Hoppers

4:48

in here. Yeah, I don't know why I have

4:50

this up, but anyway, it's so important

4:52

to say what I'm about to say that may as

4:55

well get a nice little yellow legal pad

4:58

here. Okay. All right. So

5:03

uh if

5:05

you are a bear on X okay so like you

5:10

know this could be any stock right any

5:13

stock any security or whatever you have

5:16

to understand how the algorithms work if

5:19

you are a bearer on you know whatever it

5:22

is Palunteer

5:24

Tesla whatever

5:27

uh algos

5:29

feed you to that audience, right? The

5:33

algo pushes you to that audience. Nobody

5:36

who

5:38

is invested in Palante or Tesla wants to

5:41

hear you being a bear, but the algos

5:44

will feed you to those people. So you

5:46

will always get sort of the hate and

5:49

there's no benefit to being a bear

5:51

because the people who aren't going to

5:53

buy Palanteer or Tesla probably aren't

5:56

being fed the algo for your bearish take

6:01

on Palunteer or Tesla, right? It's like

6:03

the people who are pro Palanteer or

6:05

Tesla are going to be fed your Palanteer

6:07

comments. And if you're a bear, you just

6:09

get hate. And if you're a blind bull,

6:12

like you raise your price targets every

6:15

day or you're just sort of like a clown

6:17

that only shills the upside because

6:19

there could never be a downside and

6:21

there can never be a recession again and

6:22

the Fed's just going to print us out out

6:24

of everything, which is a total lie. Uh

6:26

but whatever. You kind of

6:30

always uh win because if the market goes

6:34

down, it's not your fault because you

6:37

shield how great the product is. Oh,

6:39

it's the product that's good. The market

6:41

is just being fussy. If the stock goes

6:44

up, you're a brilliant analyst. And

6:47

remember, the algo is pitching you to

6:50

that demographic anyway. So, in other

6:53

words, social media motivates the

6:56

constant perpetuation of optimism and

6:59

hype and opium. And I think that's what

7:02

Jeremy here is saying, Grantham is

7:04

saying in a way that can actually be

7:07

amplified when you consider how

7:09

algorithms work today that bulls make

7:14

money. Bears don't, but listen to the

7:17

rest of this. I haven't listened to that

7:18

either.

7:20

um look around for signs of crazy bubbly

7:24

behavior to the moon to the moon sort of

7:26

thing which we have seen as splendidly

7:28

in this last several years as we have

7:31

ever seen in history which is a high

7:33

hurdle.

7:34

>> Mhm.

7:35

>> Just use your own brains and uh if you

7:38

don't want to follow my advice and buy

7:41

international stocks and and some and

7:44

and keep plenty of cash.

7:47

>> Wow. allocating outside of the US. I'm a

7:51

big fan of Train America, mind you, but

7:53

he's basically saying, "Hey, allocate to

7:56

international markets and cash because

7:58

the US is in a bubble." Which is really

8:01

interesting because then when you look

8:03

at this, take a look at this

8:05

individual's chart. This is I don't know

8:08

whoever this is from I3 Invest. Uh oh,

8:12

that's their I3 Invest. Okay, whatever.

8:14

NASDAQ 100 adjusted for M2 money supply.

8:18

We are past the.com bubble. NASDAQ 100

8:23

adjusted for corporate profit. Also past

8:26

the dot levels.

8:29

Kind of interesting.

8:32

Another thing to think about

8:34

is let's look at the August 1 tariff

8:37

rates and compare them to the April 2nd

8:41

Liberation Day tariff rates.

8:44

Higher. A lot higher. Little lower.

8:47

Little lower. The same. A smidge lower.

8:51

Higher.

8:53

Little lower. The same. Little lower.

8:56

The same. Little lower. Little lower.

9:00

Little lower. The same. Little lower.

9:03

Higher.

9:05

Little lower. Little lower. Higher.

9:09

Higher. The same.

9:11

uh and and then here a little lower both

9:13

of these. So you could see that these

9:16

tariff rates on the right, they're not

9:18

so substantially different on these

9:20

countries here than what we had on

9:22

liberation day. In fairness, what you

9:24

don't see here are some of the big

9:25

trading partners like Mexico and China.

9:28

Although China 55%,

9:30

you know, it's still pretty up there. So

9:33

yeah, I mean I think Jeremy has Granthm

9:36

here has has a a very interesting point.

9:39

Uh but you know, then again, maybe

9:42

markets are just designed to keep going

9:44

up. After all, uh Eric Trump wants you

9:49

to know that it feels like a great time

9:51

to enter Bitcoin. And then he tweeted

9:55

today, you're welcome.

9:57

And then somebody posted this chart.

10:01

Good time to buy.

10:06

Told you.

10:08

pretty priceless. But anyway, so uh in

10:11

our hunt for trying to figure out why

10:13

Sarah Eisen doesn't seem to be on CNBC

10:16

anymore, at least we haven't seen her in

10:18

a while, it seems like. Uh I'm sure she

10:21

is, but we we just haven't seen her in a

10:22

bit. We find this Granthm post and it's

10:25

kind of interesting that makes you

10:27

scratch your head a little bit of bubble

10:29

warning.

10:30

>> Why not advertise these things that you

10:32

told us here? I feel like nobody else

10:33

knows about this.

10:34

>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and

10:35

see how it goes.

10:36

>> Congratulations, man. You have done so

10:38

much. People love you. People look up to

10:39

you.

10:40

>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and

10:42

YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to

10:44

get your take.
