Big Red Flags & Massive, Coming Market Crash.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone kevin here are we setting
up for a big market crash
the chungus of market crashes
folks we've got some stats to look at
and some of them are kind of bothering
me
and i would rather be transparent about
changes that i'm seeing in the market
then pretend or just make random
predictions or whatever and then pretend
they're always right i don't like to do
that when changes happen in the market
i tend to be very very quick at
identifying them and that's my goal and
if i'm not then i want to be wrong fast
like they say it's
it's better to fail fast and know that
something you're doing is wrong
than to fail to realize it and then
totally get screwed right
so i'm going to pull up a couple things
here but i want to start with this take
a look folks okay
look at this disposable income and
consumption
falling now just recently look at this
this disposable income chart is somewhat
explainable by stimulus
but we've had the biggest surge in in
really
boost to disposable income not from the
first stimulus check or the second one
but actually really this last set the
fourteen hundred dollars
we've got the child tax credit coming
starting in uh six days the child tax
credit goes out
we've got unemployment we've got lots of
money
propping up disposable income right now
but what's interesting is
we're seeing a larger decline that
is going to be accelerated in september
by the removal of
the state unemployment boost or the
federal unemployment boost for state
unemployment
now when some folks hear that they're
like ah come on like 300 bucks a month
is it really that much
it's not just the 300 the 300 is like
the icing on the cake
in california you could get up to 450
dollars of state unemployment benefits
that means you could literally get 750
per month i'm sorry
per week not working which if you think
about that
750 dollars not working per week
times four works out to three thousand
dollars per month
not working divided by uh 40
times four so divided by 160 if you
worked for 40 hour weeks
that works out to 18.75 cents an hour
not working yeah that is the maximum
potential amount of money that you could
be getting in california not working
and so when that goes away because it
actually still exists right now
and that goes away throughout the entire
country we expect
this this real disposable income to
potentially fall
even lower than where we were previously
because a lot of people still don't have
jobs they don't have the right skills
for the new jobs that they need to take
in this new economy that we need
we can potentially see the average real
disposable income actually drop below
where it was
previously which is scary but beyond
that take a look at this
real personal consumption we've been
blowing up
after our v-shaped recovery here we've
been blowing up with consumption people
buying buying
buying buying more and more and more and
more more and this makes sense but take
a look at this
we've had our first inflection point
here to the downside
after the last rounds of stimulus and
now obviously we've had these temporary
downsides before when we had other
stimulus
on the horizon but we really don't have
other stimulus on the horizon right now
we have actually less stimulus on the
horizon right now
not more see these other inflection
points we had more money expected
with stimulus stimulus stimulus twelve
hundred dollars
uh the six hundred dollars and the
fourteen hundred dollars now we we don't
we don't have this
vision of maybe oh fourteen hundred
dollars again is gonna come or two
thousand dollars a month is going to
come no no
we're not only not likely to get a
fourth stimulus check
but we're also likely to very soon see a
drop off here because those unemployment
boosts are going away
right then this matters this matters in
aggregate because take a look at what's
going on when we when we put some of
these factors together
so we have disposable income rotating
down and we're expecting that to go down
even more
we're already seeing consumption go down
oh but what about real estate
right yes okay so i made a video about
this you may not have seen it yet so i'm
going to just give you a quick little
catch up here
uh i made a much more detailed video on
this just type in meet kevin housing
market and you'll see it
but take a look at this folks usually
new home sales
start slowing down right about now you
start seeing
less listings hitting the market so far
we have not seen any inflection to the
downside in
how many new listings we have in the
market now usually also
a new listing median price goes
down in the summer months take a look at
this the blue and gray lines are the
baselines you really want to look at
because those are before covet right
and so you can see median listing prices
tend to go down in the summer
right before we get a boost around
august september and to me this is
potentially a sign of school related
like hey let's get this house sold
before
school starts and people are a little
more anxious to drop their prices
but what's actually happening right now
in the real estate market is prices are
going
up in fact asking prices are going up
more
and in no other year do we have a
precedent for that
in the last four years which is odd
asking prices are going up
new listings are stable so there are
a solid amount of new listings with
higher asking prices and how's the
market responding
pending home sales are falling at a
faster rate than we have actually seen
in prior years that's scary it's
something to keep an eye on
okay let's go back to this so disposable
income down real estate
down consumption down financial content
now i know this sounds
this seems odd but the consumption of
media content around
financial stuff is actually falling
maybe that's because people have less
disposable income so
they've got their stock positions and
they care less about new buying
opportunities
because they got less dollars
financial content going down so an
interest possibly in financial content
goes down potentially we see volumes go
down
we see volatility go down at least in
the short term which compresses let's
say
bot call option pricing because
volatility implied volatility goes down
and compresses
volatility crashes or crushes as we say
unemployment benefits going down we know
that's going to accelerate the decline
in disposable income and consumption but
potentially also financial related
investments from retail right we've got
the concern of this taper coming up
in either q4 q1 or q2 so we start
tapering that's less money in the system
then we have this fear that even though
right now
retail travel restaurants are booming
like crazy
remember the warnings that we got folks
the warnings we got
last year like in november december
where
we're going to see a spike at the
reopening in activity
but that is expected to be a temporary
spike we're in the spike right now
and it's very easy for us to over assume
that's
that what's happening right now is going
to continue to happen when we're in a
moment of seeing high inflation when
we're in a moment of seeing a lot of
busy retail
then we expect that that is going to
continue forever
but we were warned last year we talked
about this last year
that we would see a temporary spike in
activity at reopening
which if you combine the fact that we
expect people's disposable income and
their consumption to continue to go down
especially as those unemployment
benefits go down then all of a sudden
this retail explosion
wave that you're seeing could go away
we're also seeing
uh speculation go down speculation
based on and not everywhere i mean you
still got virgin galactic and things
like m ring
or new egg right like really speculative
things that have kind of blown up here
in the last few days i shouldn't call
virgin galactic really speculative but
you know what i mean
uh and uh and we're seeing a waning
of momentum like it used to be we could
just look at high short interest stocks
and go this is going to go to the moon
and then a few weeks later went to the
moon
that's gone like nobody cares anymore
about the short interest
so we're seeing a relaxation in
speculation
in addition to that why are we seeing
bond yields go
down it's because more people are
placing money into bonds
banks are flush with cash and they're
potentially expecting
lower levels of inflation so they're
okay with more cash
which well guess what wells fargo just
did they got rid of people's personal
lines of credit like
in an era when banks are supposed to be
lending
more money and they're supposed to be
trying to get rid of cash
wells fargo says we're just going to
kill a whole loan program that people
rely on
you've got to be kidding me that's odd
it's odd that banks want to hold this
much cash
it's odd that the repo markets are are
exploding the
reverse repo markets which means banks
have too much cash it's
odd that bond yields are falling the way
they are
if banks were expecting high inflation
that he wanted to get rid of this money
as soon as freaking possible
it's odd then folks if we were to expect
high inflation well then we would jump
into commodities and cyclicals
well since the middle of may those
numbers haven't been doing that well
those numbers have been a little boring
they've been falling we hit peak lumber
in the middle of may
cyclicals have been selling off for the
last couple months now sure they're
having a slightly green day today but
look at the chart
come on folks i don't even need to pull
it up
at the same time we're at a record high
stock market and we're at record high
prices
for real estate folks it's just
it just seems odd okay it's just odd and
so these are things that we have to
consider and then we have to think to
ourselves
how do we potentially prepare uh in in
markets like this
because a lot of folks are asking me
kevin well well what's the answer
i don't really know what the answer is
but i can tell you
what i'm doing what i'm doing is first
of all i'm not
i haven't been buying shares i have not
been buying shares
now i'm not going to go into this whole
put discussion again because i have been
selling
some puts on companies that i'd like to
own
and i've been closing call options on
companies that have shot up
but the point is i'm in addition to this
also open to well first of all not only
being completely out of margin i'm
completely out of margin i've
collateralized about 800 000 for
in inputs but i've gone from i've gone
from like six to seven million dollars
in margin in my portfolio to zero
somebody asked me uh they're like hey
well kevin you said your portfolio was
like 20 million dollars in january why
is it
why is it 19.5 now uh because then i had
like six to seven million dollars in
margin and now i don't
that's a big difference but anyway you
should check out that coupon code linked
down below for the amazing programs on
building your wealth that expires
july 22nd and then the price goes up
again but anyway
what else what's another thing that you
could do i mean i'm not going to go buy
bonds
folks i am very very tempted to just sit
here and start hoarding cash
and i i know that sounds kooky crazy
but hear this out for a moment because i
i think it makes sense
and it's just something that i'm
considering so
if i sit here and hoard cash what
happens well
first of all the cool thing about
hoarding cash
is i'm ready i'm ready for opportunities
if high inflation happens high inflation
will put high well then i can always
find something to invest in
in the event that happens over which
which i expect will happen
if you know this inflection point in
inflation where inflation's done this
will either go higher inflation or we'll
go lower inflation
probably september october i personally
think that we're going to go down
but either way i don't mind just
hoarding cash for a couple months and
then seeing what happens
see what happens with inflation chillax
a little bit
maybe maybe spend less money uh buying
stocks and making investments and focus
a little bit more on hoarding
again i know that sounds crazy uh
because you know we always hear uh
cash is trash cash is trash you know oh
well you should you know
buy this option or this option like you
know i don't mind
having more cash than i've ever had
before and just maybe taking a little
bit of a chill pill and
not trying to go spend money when money
comes in
now usually i always recommend hey when
you get money throw it into the market
right away
and invest that's like that's my problem
is i feel like i have this problem
of essentially money comes in and i buy
stocks right away
uh but uh i wouldn't mind actually
building up a little bit of a savings
account right now which i know is just
like
what like i hate savings i totally hate
savings
but i'm not doing it for the purpose of
a savings account if anything it's just
now it's
let me be on standby for opportunities
that's what i'm looking for big
opportunities
so that's what i'm excited about uh
right now i i understand that sounds
kooky crazy but
that's what i'm thinking about right now
and i wanted to share those thoughts
with you
so a little less enthusiastic about
making big buys
i will be posting a lot of selling
alerts
in the stocks and psychology of money
group so as i see things hitting highs
where i think you know what i'm good
here i've made money
i'm good for now i'm gonna stand by a
little bit
i'm game for that so uh anyway thank you
folks so much for watching this video
hopefully it was helpful and we'll see
in the next one bye
