0:00

Hey everyone, me Kevin here. Uh, in this

0:02

video I want to give a breakdown of why

0:04

I actually think now is oddly a bad time

0:07

to sell stocks. And I know that sounds

0:09

crazy like what Kevin's saying it's a

0:11

bad time to sell stock. I I know I know.

0:13

Give me a sec. Hear me out here. Okay,

0:16

it's too noisy out here. All right,

0:18

here's the

0:21

scoop. Q1 earnings are going to be good

0:25

as we've already seen. Why would Q1 be

0:27

bad? January was full of hope. February,

0:30

March, mostly March was full of pull

0:32

forward. Of course, we're going to have

0:33

good earnings. So, we're probably going

0:34

to have good earnings for the rest of

0:35

the next four weeks. You know, Nvidia is

0:38

always late. Probably have good

0:39

earnings, especially with comments out

0:41

of Google. Hey, so far macro keeps

0:44

staying fine the way it is. We're going

0:46

to keep spending. Great.

0:49

So, if we're not expecting bad earnings

0:51

and at the same time, Donald Trump is

0:53

starting to walk back some of his tariff

0:55

negativity and he doesn't want to fire

0:57

Powell, it's no surprise that we've been

0:59

rocket shipping straight up since

1:01

Monday. Now, what's fascinating is today

1:05

we saw a little bit of a FOMO gamma

1:07

squeeze. That makes sense because this

1:10

morning to course members, I was like,

1:12

"Hey, volatility has gotten really low

1:14

on a lot of different stocks. Maybe now

1:17

is a good time for buying options

1:19

because volatility is so low, which is a

1:22

great time to usually buy options

1:24

because you want to buy options when

1:25

volatility is low. You want to sell them

1:27

when volatility is high. This is simple.

1:29

So that's what we were talking about in

1:30

the alpha report this morning. Like

1:32

everything's freaking low today. Now, I

1:34

don't think anybody was expecting that,

1:36

you know, by like 8 or 9:00 a.m. we

1:39

would have a full-on gamma squeeze and

1:40

Tesla would rock it up this way. People

1:42

are also saying like Kevin, you know,

1:44

why does it make sense that Tesla is

1:46

down or is is up after terrible

1:49

earnings. How does it not make sense? Of

1:52

course, it makes sense. All the bad news

1:55

got priced in when Tesla fell from 488

1:58

down to

2:00

220. Now, that doesn't mean I think in

2:03

the near term there won't be other lows.

2:06

Obviously, if you're in this very long

2:08

term, you don't care about the

2:10

fluctuations, great. Buy the dip.

2:12

Perfect. It's made

2:14

money. There will probably be other buy

2:16

the dip opportunities. That's because

2:18

when do we actually think poopy hits the

2:21

fan? Frankly, probably not until June or

2:24

July. I mean, think about this logically

2:26

for a moment. The blank ships and the

2:29

empty store shelves and us pushing

2:31

through inventory doesn't happen until

2:33

June or July. layoffs of people who

2:35

don't have any work to do in the May uh

2:37

you know port worker uh task

2:39

allocations. We're not going to see that

2:41

until June or July. And you have to get

2:43

past severance. You have to get past the

2:45

severance of the contractors, the

2:47

private contractors that get laid off.

2:48

Usually two for every one federal worker

2:51

that gets laid off. You know, a lot of

2:52

the federal workers took leave until

2:54

September paid. So, they're not actually

2:55

going to show up until October. But the

2:57

contractors might show up earlier. Uh

3:00

they might show up as soon as June or

3:03

July. And guess what? You get in July?

3:05

Q2 data. So, interestingly, now is

3:09

actually a a weirdly bad time to sell

3:12

stocks in my opinion. So, if you think

3:14

about it, why would you sell right now

3:17

when you're in a position of, "Oh, wait

3:20

a sec. We might actually end up uh just

3:24

getting more good Q1 data." And then

3:27

after we get more good Q1 data, well,

3:30

you know, poopy doesn't hit the fan

3:32

until July. So, what's what's the rush?

3:35

In other words, what I'm saying is if

3:37

you're looking to diversify and you want

3:39

to buy some house hack stock or whatever

3:42

you want to diversify into, I actually

3:46

think you could, and I'm not saying

3:47

you're not going to have volatility.

3:48

There'll be up and down days obviously.

3:49

You know, Monday could be a red giveback

3:51

day, right? But I wouldn't be surprised

3:53

for the next month until the next Fed

3:56

meeting, things are actually quite okay.

3:59

Uh we get we continue to get decent Q1

4:01

earnings. we continue to be in a, you

4:04

know, position of uh of of Donald Trump

4:07

sort of talking about lessening the

4:10

trade drama and trade warfare, which is

4:13

also good. Wish I could place this

4:14

somewhere. That'd be really nice. Uh

4:16

because that's also what's happening a

4:17

little bit right now, right? Donald

4:19

Trump is walking back some of the drama

4:22

of the trade warfare, which is totally

4:24

logical. Uh and he's getting rewarded

4:27

for that in the stock market, which he

4:28

loves talking about the stock market

4:30

when it's up, so why not? Now, there's a

4:32

downside risk. The downside risk is that

4:34

gives Donald Trump more of an ego to

4:36

actually keep tariffs up. And if he

4:40

keeps tariffs up, well, then that July

4:42

damage that we get from empty sailings

4:45

continues. So, look, if you're a

4:47

long-term buying hodler, who cares?

4:50

Don't worry. There'll be other

4:51

opportunities to buy the dip. They're

4:52

coming.

4:54

But if you're looking for some

4:56

short-term opportunities, my guess is

4:59

now is probably not the best time to

5:01

sell, you might have another 4 weeks of

5:03

legs, and it's very simple. Talk about

5:07

Donald Trump walking back some of the

5:08

tariffs, bullish. Delayed unemployment

5:12

reads,

5:13

bullish. Talk about the Fed will bail us

5:16

out if they need to, even though that's

5:18

not going to happen probably until

5:19

September. Just the talk or assumption

5:21

of it, bullish. Q2 earnings. Dude, we're

5:25

not even through the first month of Q2

5:27

earnings. How are we going to get bad Q2

5:28

earnings numbers? We're not even going

5:30

to get, you know, interim reports that

5:31

are bad. Sure, some bad numbers out of

5:34

airfare. Of course, the shipping and

5:35

hiring companies are starting to see it,

5:38

but I don't know that the market broadly

5:40

prices this stuff in until later in

5:41

April. So, we might temporarily have

5:43

reached a bottom. Now, there are a lot

5:46

of bare pieces out there, and I haven't

5:49

actually been reporting on a lot of them

5:50

cuz I'm like, I don't know, man. I mean,

5:52

UBS had a horrible bear piece and there

5:54

there were actually some really good

5:55

bear pieces where like if you wanted to

5:58

make some bear porn videos, you know,

6:00

I've got a bunch of resources for you,

6:03

but I don't think it's necessary right

6:05

now because the reality is such that

6:08

hey, things might actually be quite okay

6:11

for the next uh 4 weeks here. So, pretty

6:13

optimistic about that. Lauren's pulling

6:15

up in the Tesla and uh that means I got

6:18

to go. So, I'm pretty optimistic and uh

6:21

yeah. Um obviously I get a little

6:24

pessimistic when we get to the summer.

6:26

Once we get to the summer, that's when I

6:28

think poopy dupies can hit the fan. Uh

6:30

so just be prepared for that. And uh

6:33

again, if you're long term, it doesn't

6:34

matter. If you're shorter term, that

6:35

might be something to consider. Anyway,

6:37

thanks for watching. See you in the next

6:38

one. Bye.
