*Massive FLIP FLOP* A Critical Warning to Investors.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
think the Market's rigged well I'll tell
you what's rigged in this video I'm
going to break down what the H double
hockey sticks is not just going on in
the stock and bond market right now but
we'll talk fed and we'll talk a lot of
the other stuff going on cuz there's a
lot going on the first thing obviously
we have to cover is this this is a
disaster you know what this chart is
well let me put it this way let's say
you're a guy uh whose name we won't
mention we'll say that person's name is
schmill
schackman and that person goes short the
treasury bond market right about here
where this green line is okay so in
order to go short the bond market you
actually want this line to go up because
this is a chart of yields just know up
means you're making money on this case
okay so you go short here and all of a
sudden the Market's not working out for
you so what do you do you really start
going on social media around the last
few weeks of August and and you start
pumping this idea that you know what
rates are going to have to go quote well
above 5% they're going to smoke through
5% I want you to keep that in mind now
okay well above 5% that's a very
important line okay rates are going to
go well above 5% there's so much
inflation that's going to happen from
the wars and everything is so horrible
in the economy we've had so much
inflation now we're going to have even
more rates are going to Skyrocket now
this schmill schackman has a lot of
clout on social media but not just on
social media most importantly amongst
institutional investors those are hedge
funds Pension funds trading firms firms
that are like hm okay we know Market
manipulation is illegal like we can't
all do the same thing and coordinate
because we would be manipulating the
market but if we all happen to have the
same opinion that that we're talking
about on social media then maybe that's
okay that's basically kind of how it
works okay somebody has an idea on
social media they're they have a history
of kind of being the person to follow
and then what happens that amplifies
when's the last time this schill
schackman did this well how about coid
in the depths of Co you have a bunch of
long positions but then you buy a bunch
of weekly puts or really short-term puts
don't know how short-term but very
short-term puts maybe 20 $30 million of
short-term puts you know you got a CNBC
interview coming out and so you go on
that CNBC interview and what do you do
you smash the economy to Smither by
talking about how during coid at Peak
fear and you're a an expert what should
the entire Market do everyone shut
everything down for 30 days sure well
what are you going to do when you shut
manufacturing and businesses and
everything down for 30 days you
literally take a third of company
profits earnings away you remove that
and then you create longer term damage
as well right so you know the likelihood
is if people resonated with your opinion
stocks would plummet in the short term
that would give you good profit on those
short-term options which you could turn
20 40 50 million into a billion dollars
roughly what happened with schmill
schackman roughly okay we're rounding a
little bit here for the purposes of
brevity and then you could use that to
buy the dip when prices are low and then
you make money both ways you make money
on the way down you make money on the
way out now who makes the most money
well the person everyone's folling
following and in this case it's Bill
akman schmill schackman what it's
everybody knows okay so because of that
reputation people like damn that was
kind of messed up but it was also kind
of shrewd see we don't want to say
that's illegal it's not illegal to have
an opinion right like I could sit here
here and go I think treasuries are a
great thing to buy because I think as
the inflation that we're seeing the rate
of inflation Falls I think bonds will
cap out somewhere and then they will
start skyrocketing I obviously can't
make that guarantee but that's my belief
right I think longer term inflation
it'll take more time it'll take patience
to come down but it'll roll over that's
because every single day almost every
day I'm studying company earnings calls
especially with our course members and
we're like man all of these companies
are like we had a lot of inflation but
now we're not seeing new inflation or
raising prices 1 to 2% look at some of
the Staples whether it's Target Walmart
Pepsi look at the Autos well that's like
pure price reductions you just have to
look at Tesla do that obviously Autos
are very cyclical when rates go up car
prices go down and so this latest surge
is one of the reasons probably Elon Musk
is so depressed is because he's reading
all of the echo chamber stuff on Twitter
I highly believe that he's reading the
echo chamber stuff on Twitter that
yields are going to keep going up up up
up up Bill schackman is somebody people
respect and so you even get people like
Elon Musk who go oh man this is
depressing that means we're going to
have to cut prices even more I
personally think Elon Musk should have a
formula a formula where he's like look
for every uh I don't know uh 50 basis
points that rates go up prices come down
minus 1500 bucks right and so then it's
formulaic then you tell buyers hey look
if rates go up another 50 we're going to
drop the price, 1500 bucks rates went up
5% guess what we drop prices 15 grand
okay you have a formula now you're
transparent to your investors and your
customers but you know we we generally
don't get the most ideal communication
at Tesla that doesn't remove me as an
investor from Tesla I just I just know
that and then you buckle up because you
know you're going in for volatility
because you know communication is
designed to help smooth problems over
problems will always occur at companies
that's very normal communication is is
the solution to everything when people
go dark it's scary scary times anyway so
Bill schackman what does he do so Bill
schackman over here says you know what
uh I think we can squeeze this bond
market a little bit more in other words
we're going to short the bond market
short the bond market the line goes up
great so you short the bond market over
here line goes up you start profiting
right but at first it goes down so then
you circulate on Twitter
your thesis about how everything's going
to hell and you're going to blow through
5% okay we know that then what do you do
right here right before yields get to
5% all right we've covered our position
we are no longer short we are now long
bonds and then you make money when this
line goes down the line is confusing
because it's upside down because they
yields but the point is Bill Amman
basically perfectly played this okay
created The Narrative made sure to
benefit when this line goes up says this
Line's going to go well past
5% gets to 5% dumps out okay that is
very normal this is the same thing that
happens with oil all the time and I want
you to know this when companies have
price targets it's all Bs because what
they're really most of the time doing I
and I can't say that as with certainty I
want to be clear a lot of this
everything I'm saying I just want you
know it's my opinion okay uh some of the
the historical contents I'm really rough
around the edges just to keep this nice
and simple and smooth but I'm trying to
teach and provide lessons here when
somebody says look I think oils going to
150 they're probably going to dump their
long bets on oil when it gets to like
125 okay because everybody else is just
going to front run them as it gets close
to 150 and then by the nature of that
it'll never get to 150 it's the same
thing here okay you go we're going to
blow past 5% and then what happens as
soon as you get close to 5% people start
wondering like are are we really going
to blow past it and then you're one of
the first people out and then once
you're one of the first people out what
happens oh wow the 10-year treasury down
to
4.84% it's somewhat dare I say cunning
okay like cunning the definition of it
is here having or showing skill in
achieving one's Ends by deceit or
evasion being Artful being crafty I
don't think Bill Amman is purposefully
deceitful but let's just say do we
really think that he wanted or thought
everything was going to lock down for 30
days no that and I don't think he
believed that either so that is somewhat
deceitful for when when you're like oh
yeah we should do this you know that's
not going to happen so you place bets
that things are going to move towards
that direction and then you bail on them
before you ever get there because you
know that end goal that end reality is
probably quite unlikely I feel like it's
similar here the end goal of blowing
past well past 5% on the 10e treasury I
don't think it's extremely likely and I
don't think that bill Amman thinks it's
extremely likely either maybe 5 and a
quarter but do we think it's going to go
to 6 or 7% the way some of the social
media talk is framed no of course not so
then you kind of evade that reality I
think that's the better way to put it
right you evade the truth which is I
don't really think it's going to blow
past five and I'm a cover when I get
close to five but I'm going to say that
I think it's going to blow past because
theoretically it could so therefore I'm
not lying and then you cover before when
you make your tendies that's cunning
that is like in my opinion the
definition of cunning again I'm not here
to say anybody's being doing anything
illegal or whatever I'm just saying it's
cunning okay now what does it mean for
us well as an individual investor it's
so important to remember that we are the
daily victims of these sort of
bets I'm taking a lot of series and
finra and SCC exams and I in my opinion
what I'm learning about the institutions
is when you peel curtain back a little
bit everybody's a human everybody's just
trying to do the best thing they can for
themselves and that's important to
remember right we peel back the court
and it's like oh well you know what that
makes sense Bill Amman is doing what is
best for his fund he's going to play his
clout and he's going to play the market
with that is that market manipulation
it's debatable anyway point is we as
individual investors have to see through
through this this volatility and it's
very very difficult because we're like
crap you know we see treasury yield
Skyrocket like this and people are
asking me Kevin they're like hey what
does this mean for inflation does this
mean markets all of a sudden think that
inflation is is going to be a lot higher
Are We Wrong about positioning for an
environment when inflation is going to
be lower you know is inflation all of a
sudden taking off are we missing
something you know when we look at the
the 5year break even inflation chart it
all it's all skyrocketed following uh
bill amman's beted over here on the
right even the inflation expectations
are up does this mean inflation is back
which if inflation is back some of the
long Investments that you might be
making for when interest rates come down
n phase Tesla uh some of the cyclicals
right these are going to be your
manufacturers uh your consumer spend
stocks if inflation comes back up those
are just going to keep getting screwed
and that's problematic because you don't
want that uh you know but when you
actually look at the underlying of
inflation what do we see copper prices
coming way down we're not as low as
where we were we might never be that low
again right and that's important to
remember is we've had a lot of inflation
at least 18% inflation and consider for
a moment what that means if previously
we were trading at about 6200 bucks for
copper let's go 6200 time 1.18 you
should be at about 7,300 bucks so to
normalize back to an inflation adjusted
level we're we're getting close you know
copper should probably go down about
7948 uh probably about another 8% and
then we're there they we're back at an
inflation adjusted level that 18% again
not back to these low levels but the
point is copper is way off its highs why
because production is slowing the
cyclicals the manufacturing these things
are slowing golly imagine if it weren't
for the chips act or some of the
inflation reduction act stimulus
packages for electric vehicles or solar
panels or manufacturing these sectors
would be even more in the toilet than
they already are they're already in the
toilet they'd be even more in the toilet
now all of that investment that's coming
via the stimulus checks and we could
debate the politics of that separately
right whether we agree or disagree with
that the reality is there the stimul
checks are going to chips to
manufacturing to electric vehicles to
solar whether you hate those things or
not that is where the stimulus checks
are going okay those will likely pay
massive dividends in the future we can't
guarantee that I hold bullish positions
in these I have to be transparent about
that I'm not short the market you know
so I could be equally biased like Bill
schackman and that's fair but I think
it's important for all of us
individually to say okay break evens
exploded treasury skyrocketed did the
inflation narrative break the answer in
my opinion is no the inflation narrative
didn't break inflation was very high now
it is growing much slower nothing has
changed in that reality the only thing
that's changed is you've got
geopolitical turmoil with Israel Hamas
Hezbollah Iran that has led to this idea
that oh my gosh well when Russia invaded
uh uh Ukraine weat prices skyrocketed
and that led to supply chain challenges
for automotives and other aspects and
that led to more inflation true so what
a perfect narrative to hit your bet on
and make everybody think that inflation
is really really bad and treasury Ys
have a lot more work to do you make your
bet as soon as you play your game your
cunning game you cut and you're out and
you make your money great you did what
you needed to do for your investors did
that change the narrative that we talk
about here no now is this me putting on
rose-colored glasses no not at all if
anything I think I'm putting on glasses
and it's like oh that's that's a ugly
reality o I don't like the look of that
because it it feels manipulative right
it makes us as humans and individuals
feel somewhat powerless to these crazy
fluctuations that happen in the stock
market and that's quite frankly the
reality is we don't have control over
this Insanity now it's also important to
remember though that Mohammad Alan I
think he made a great point he talks
about in the fed's latest Financial
stability report released Friday that
treasury market liquidity is really
really important for the financial
system and we keep taking on more debt
as a country so we need people to buy
treasuries if people are manipulating
the treasury market and all of a sudden
people stop buying treasuries because
they think the value of them are going
to keep going down the the government
can't fund the government can't pay its
bills this is bad like like the debt or
not again I think fiat's all garbage
it's all going to blow up at some point
in the future I don't think it'll be in
our lifetimes so right now we have the
rules of our game okay this is the game
we play by we deal with paper money yes
this is yes yes yes it's all
okay we get it they could print
this stuff all day long but the point is
and and yes the debt is unsustainable
and it's way too high is it a problem
yes are we going to fix it anytime soon
no so when we consider these realities
the government's going to have to keep
borrowing money well in order to keep
borrowing money you have to have a
functioning treasury market and so
Muhammad here is making the argument we
have to get back to like a normal Market
you're in a position where the Federal
Reserve is dumping treasury bonds onto
the market if everybody tomorrow said
screw this I ain't touching treasuries
cuz the is dumping them all onto the
market their values are just going to go
down if people start not believing in
the long-term value of these anymore
then interest rates will Skyrocket the
10% and the whole system will collapse
so there's a balance here there's a
balance it's the same thing as the
balance that you're seeing in Israel
there's this this belief that uh is you
know and when the war started this was
very very commonly believed that Israel
was going to invade and then there were
debates about how long this Invasion
would be you know some parts might be
Blitz Creek style some uh Parts might be
long incursion now I've been saying that
hopefully it goes fast because the
faster Israel can control what they need
to or satisfy their mission the less
innocent lives are lost that's all I
care about right now is innocent Israeli
lives and innocent civilians inside of
Palestine these these countries are not
the problem the problem is Israel versus
Hamas terrorist groups and cells Within
pales time if those terrorist groups are
not present and Israel walks in to no
resistance people stop dying I'm tired
of being on Telegram and seeing dead or
dismembered children every freaking day
it's horrible it's not just children
though it's men it's women it's adult
it's grandparents it's cousins it's
uncles it's disgusting like it is so
humanly wrong now obviously it's so
wrong for Hamas to do what they did but
my point is all of this in my opinion
needs to chill and we have to figure
this out you know what we need we need
like a treaty of West failure okay this
is when the Holy Roman Empire and the
French they were slaying each other for
like what 30 years the Treaty of West
faia ended the 30 Years War and that's
interesting to some extent because I was
born in west faia but anyway so so you
look at the Treaty of West faia which
was signed in us and MOA uh these two
parts of it and together it was
considered the piece of of West faia
this was 30 years of this sort of
cultural and religious battling that
ended
finally and it's very similar to what's
going on in the Middle East now it's
cultural it's land it's it's religious
and it's terrible and it's end now the
good news is you are seeing some of the
Reigns get pulled in a little bit on how
aggressive Israel will be or continue to
be with their ground incursion now
Israel is pointing out that well if
we're too aggressive Hezbollah is going
to attack us more from the north that's
via Lebanon or well if we're too
aggressive we might lose hostages and
Hamas is starting to release hostages
maybe we can get them to do more of that
and uh you know well we don't want to
see more Israeli soldiers die you know
why this is happening you want to know
the truth of why this is happening I'll
be very very clear with you there is one
massive reason this is happening the
United States now you might be
disillusioned with the white house and
our government who's really running it
you know you might be disillusioned with
Trump I I politics sucks but the reality
is as broken as our country is this is
still the best freaking country in the
world and you know what America the
United States
realizes that the benefit of an allout
ground incursion in in Palestine is not
a good idea in the Gaza Strip because
Israel's not going to be the new
government in that region Muslims and uh
individuals uh who are you know uh
racially Arabic they are never going to
be governed by Israel it's never going
to work so I think you have the United
States and this is my speculation look
we will fund your military we will fund
your bombs we will fund your Iron Dome
Israel but you need to chill you need to
let Aid in from the south you don't need
to invade yes we are going to help you
get the hostages but at the same time we
also need to try to negotiate with the
terrorists nobody's going to say that
publicly but I believe that's exactly
what's happening but it will never be
made public because that would be
disgusting oh no no the public stances
we don't negotiate with ch come on
they're going to take every possible
tool that they can to make
sure
that innocent lives are spared and
that's my goal that's that's my hope at
least uh or I shouldn't say my goal I
mean I'm not involved in it but that's
the goal I believe America has so what
does that mean it actually goes back to
the beginning of the video where we're
talking about look we don't have control
about all of this insane volatility what
we have control over is is our own daily
lives people are always like Kevin how
how how am I supposed to feel okay
working for you know xll per day when I
lost three or four times that in the
stock market in a single day and they
you have to separate yourself from that
you have to every single day when other
people are getting sad and depressed you
have to put one foot in front of the
other and keep going it's really hard
you have to like do you do you work less
hard because your stocks are going up no
just keep working ignore the stock
market volatility now if you want to
diversify I'm a big fan of you
considering house Haack go check out
house act now accepting investments from
non accredit investors at house act.com
read the offering circular watch the
video all that good stuff but look at
this I actually think we have a massive
problem going on in our society Alaska
Air pilot arrested for trying to turn
off the plane engines mid-flight this
was a pilot who was not one of the two
pilots flying the plane but they were in
the jump seat like apparently they
reached over and tried to turn off the
plane engines while they were mid-flight
yesterday Sunday and uh and and the
pilot Bas probably beat the crap out of
him and subdued him thankfully and
nobody nobody was hurt other than that
individual but you know what's going on
in America right now a depression
epidemic finances are tough inflation is
high relationships are skewed by social
media every chick on social media has
the beautify filter on basically okay
like it is it is so impossible not to go
on social media and feel like a loser
everybody else is doing better but I'll
tell you every single person no matter
who you are has problems and challenges
and has feelings even Elon Musk and we
know that and I bag on Elon Musk too and
I'm not trying to kick somebody when
they're down I'm trying to send a
message and speak on behalf of the Tesla
employees who are reaching out to me
going Kevin this makes us feel like
trash we need better leadership okay
that's different right me bagging on the
Tesla leadership is basically trying to
be somewhat of with the small voice that
I have an activist of like Tesla get
your act together get it
together properly communicate to the
expectations that people should have to
the community all the Tesla Bulls who
were mad at me they're like wait wait
Kevin well why don't you just sell
you're just a flip flopper and I'm like
that's not true I mean I do flipflop I'm
actually wearing flipflops right now uh
so yeah I changed my mind when there's a
better option I'm not flipping on Tesla
if anything I'm like hey we should be
buying more
Tesla but the leadership creates
problems in the short term people like
come on Kevin why be upset this is a buy
the dip opportunity because you lose the
ability to attract employees even if you
lose the next five best Engineers
because the CEO is a knucklehead and
maybe those five Engineers are are gay
or they're lesbian or they're they're
Tran uh or or or their uh you know
whatever they they have they have
certain
uh beliefs that don't align with Elon
musk's belief uh system and now all of a
sudden because of their personal beliefs
Tesla doesn't get that talent because of
the stock volatility or the leadership
at the company or the lack of
communication and Clarity at the company
then everyone net loses the executives
lose the shareholders lose the customers
lose everyone net loses from the loss of
that talent that goes somewhere else
that is stupid that's why I think when
Tesla has asked hey how many cyber
trucks are you going to deliver this
year and Elon Musk punts the question
yes I know other companies punt the
question too but why aren't we just
blunt like let's be blunt look hey we're
going to have a delivery event we hope
we can deliver maybe 10 a few dozen
cyber trucks and we're going to ramp
from there it's going to take time and
as we've learned a Tesla things take a
little longer but we think this is a
revolutionary car that in the long term
will be the best selling vehicle in the
world whatever you could say that right
but be honest about The Upfront you know
people like oh c you know Elon who
sounded really honest really does it
sound really honest to dodge questions
about what's happening in the near term
does it sound really honest to tell the
Mexican Government hey you know what
we're going to build a gigafactory here
and then on the earnings call say by the
way we're going to slow walk this
because we're uncertain about the
economy what do you think that does for
every other freaking country around the
world you know Elon visited Taiwan and
India and all these other countries
suggesting maybe we'll build a factory
here it's almost like it's like a an an
ego trip oh yeah everybody lay out the
red carpet for me I might build a
factory here that's great when you
actually do it but then when you say I'm
going to build a factory in in Mexico
and then you tell the world on an ear
call you're going to slow walk it what
are you doing you're telling all those
other countries ah maybe it's good we're
not doing business with him right now
you know we'll get him when the Market's
good but uh he doesn't deserve our
support when the economy is bad I don't
know man like I like again I think there
is depression everywhere one of the
reasons though we do have more
depression truly a social media in my
opinion I think shorts make everybody's
lives seem so perfect it's very
dangerous I think uh the beautify stuff
that we see with with women or people of
the opposite Sexes bad people only show
good stuff generally on social media
it's not good and when you get on
Twitter it's a Cess pool it's almost all
negative sorry like I have a hard time
going on Twitter and not feeling like
the world is about to end so I like to
try to be a voice of reason you know
people are like oh but Kevin you should
be posting on all platforms you know
what maybe the only platform I belong on
is YouTube and quite frankly I'm okay
with that because I love it here I get
to share my perspective and hopefully it
helps you thank you for watching we'll
see you in the next one goodbye 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

YouTuber meet Kevin always great to get
