Big Stock Problem: *DON’T DO THIS NOW*
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Hey everyone, me Kevin here. Uh, in this
video I want to give a breakdown of why
I actually think now is oddly a bad time
to sell stocks. And I know that sounds
crazy like what Kevin's saying it's a
bad time to sell stock. I I know I know.
Give me a sec. Hear me out here. Okay,
it's too noisy out here. All right,
here's the
scoop. Q1 earnings are going to be good
as we've already seen. Why would Q1 be
bad? January was full of hope. February,
March, mostly March was full of pull
forward. Of course, we're going to have
good earnings. So, we're probably going
to have good earnings for the rest of
the next four weeks. You know, Nvidia is
always late. Probably have good
earnings, especially with comments out
of Google. Hey, so far macro keeps
staying fine the way it is. We're going
to keep spending. Great.
So, if we're not expecting bad earnings
and at the same time, Donald Trump is
starting to walk back some of his tariff
negativity and he doesn't want to fire
Powell, it's no surprise that we've been
rocket shipping straight up since
Monday. Now, what's fascinating is today
we saw a little bit of a FOMO gamma
squeeze. That makes sense because this
morning to course members, I was like,
"Hey, volatility has gotten really low
on a lot of different stocks. Maybe now
is a good time for buying options
because volatility is so low, which is a
great time to usually buy options
because you want to buy options when
volatility is low. You want to sell them
when volatility is high. This is simple.
So that's what we were talking about in
the alpha report this morning. Like
everything's freaking low today. Now, I
don't think anybody was expecting that,
you know, by like 8 or 9:00 a.m. we
would have a full-on gamma squeeze and
Tesla would rock it up this way. People
are also saying like Kevin, you know,
why does it make sense that Tesla is
down or is is up after terrible
earnings. How does it not make sense? Of
course, it makes sense. All the bad news
got priced in when Tesla fell from 488
down to
220. Now, that doesn't mean I think in
the near term there won't be other lows.
Obviously, if you're in this very long
term, you don't care about the
fluctuations, great. Buy the dip.
Perfect. It's made
money. There will probably be other buy
the dip opportunities. That's because
when do we actually think poopy hits the
fan? Frankly, probably not until June or
July. I mean, think about this logically
for a moment. The blank ships and the
empty store shelves and us pushing
through inventory doesn't happen until
June or July. layoffs of people who
don't have any work to do in the May uh
you know port worker uh task
allocations. We're not going to see that
until June or July. And you have to get
past severance. You have to get past the
severance of the contractors, the
private contractors that get laid off.
Usually two for every one federal worker
that gets laid off. You know, a lot of
the federal workers took leave until
September paid. So, they're not actually
going to show up until October. But the
contractors might show up earlier. Uh
they might show up as soon as June or
July. And guess what? You get in July?
Q2 data. So, interestingly, now is
actually a a weirdly bad time to sell
stocks in my opinion. So, if you think
about it, why would you sell right now
when you're in a position of, "Oh, wait
a sec. We might actually end up uh just
getting more good Q1 data." And then
after we get more good Q1 data, well,
you know, poopy doesn't hit the fan
until July. So, what's what's the rush?
In other words, what I'm saying is if
you're looking to diversify and you want
to buy some house hack stock or whatever
you want to diversify into, I actually
think you could, and I'm not saying
you're not going to have volatility.
There'll be up and down days obviously.
You know, Monday could be a red giveback
day, right? But I wouldn't be surprised
for the next month until the next Fed
meeting, things are actually quite okay.
Uh we get we continue to get decent Q1
earnings. we continue to be in a, you
know, position of uh of of Donald Trump
sort of talking about lessening the
trade drama and trade warfare, which is
also good. Wish I could place this
somewhere. That'd be really nice. Uh
because that's also what's happening a
little bit right now, right? Donald
Trump is walking back some of the drama
of the trade warfare, which is totally
logical. Uh and he's getting rewarded
for that in the stock market, which he
loves talking about the stock market
when it's up, so why not? Now, there's a
downside risk. The downside risk is that
gives Donald Trump more of an ego to
actually keep tariffs up. And if he
keeps tariffs up, well, then that July
damage that we get from empty sailings
continues. So, look, if you're a
long-term buying hodler, who cares?
Don't worry. There'll be other
opportunities to buy the dip. They're
coming.
But if you're looking for some
short-term opportunities, my guess is
now is probably not the best time to
sell, you might have another 4 weeks of
legs, and it's very simple. Talk about
Donald Trump walking back some of the
tariffs, bullish. Delayed unemployment
reads,
bullish. Talk about the Fed will bail us
out if they need to, even though that's
not going to happen probably until
September. Just the talk or assumption
of it, bullish. Q2 earnings. Dude, we're
not even through the first month of Q2
earnings. How are we going to get bad Q2
earnings numbers? We're not even going
to get, you know, interim reports that
are bad. Sure, some bad numbers out of
airfare. Of course, the shipping and
hiring companies are starting to see it,
but I don't know that the market broadly
prices this stuff in until later in
April. So, we might temporarily have
reached a bottom. Now, there are a lot
of bare pieces out there, and I haven't
actually been reporting on a lot of them
cuz I'm like, I don't know, man. I mean,
UBS had a horrible bear piece and there
there were actually some really good
bear pieces where like if you wanted to
make some bear porn videos, you know,
I've got a bunch of resources for you,
but I don't think it's necessary right
now because the reality is such that
hey, things might actually be quite okay
for the next uh 4 weeks here. So, pretty
optimistic about that. Lauren's pulling
up in the Tesla and uh that means I got
to go. So, I'm pretty optimistic and uh
yeah. Um obviously I get a little
pessimistic when we get to the summer.
Once we get to the summer, that's when I
think poopy dupies can hit the fan. Uh
so just be prepared for that. And uh
again, if you're long term, it doesn't
matter. If you're shorter term, that
might be something to consider. Anyway,
thanks for watching. See you in the next
one. Bye.
