Stocks to Avoid AFTER the Wagner COUP [DON’T DO THIS]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
so here's a high level overview of the
insanity of what's going on in Russia
focused mostly on what this means for
Putin and Russia going forward let's be
absolutely clear and blunt here this is
a massive embarrassment to Vladimir
Putin could you imagine I just want you
to think for a moment could you imagine
that like a black water you know back
from the early 2000s and late 2000s the
mercenary group in Iraq uh contracted by
the United States could you imagine them
running a column of Tanks down a highway
in Texas do you actually think Americans
would let that go far with not only our
National Guard but also just Americans
themselves
no it just wouldn't work
the fact that it was able to occur in
Russia seems a surprising uh to the
world in fact so much so that both North
Korea and China are well expressing
their hope that Putin can quell this
Uprising in these problems and end up
calming nerves this is very important
for Putin in the International Community
because this sort of embarrassment to
China and North Korea is well not just
embarrassing but it's also really
somewhat bad for China and North Korea
and potentially even India see these
other countries they really rely on
Russia they really rely on Russia they
rely on Russia because
Russia doesn't have a lot of trading
partners Russia's got an economy that's
you know
somewhat decently functioning their
massive oil economy
excuse me this is a big deal because
what basically what's happening is as
there are price limits on Russian oil
that Russian oil is bought cheaply by
India and then and other countries even
China and then used locally for their
own domestic production and
Manufacturing which is good for their
economies because they can buy
discounted Russian oil
or they can buy it and resell it
profiting off of Russia nobody knows
what a barrel of oil is actually
containing its oil it burns we can
create gasoline out of it we can create
Plastics and other petrol products out
of it it's a commodity by the nature of
a commodity there's no difference in one
commodity to another commodity remember
back in the day when Kevin O'Leary used
to say that well there's dirty Bitcoin
and there's clean Bitcoin and there
should be some sort of differentiation
between the two one thing that hasn't
happened in Bitcoin is any kind of
differentiation between the two probably
because it's not that easy to actually
determine the difference much could be
said about oil and its implications for
China India even North Korea these
economies are relying on this this cheap
stimulative oil that Russia is giving
them especially since China's economy is
I hate to say it not doing very well
it's in the Poopers uh we just had a
Chinese data that came out actually and
it'll show you why China is probably a
little bit nervous about losing one of
their larger trading partners in the
event of a regime collapse in Russia and
that's what this Moody Mutiny is really
signaling this is this is much more than
uh oh you know what's happening to the
leader of the Wagner group is he going
to get killed you know you've got a
director of the uh former CIA director
saying he's a dead man walking which by
the way I agree with I actually think
he's probably got a gun to his head or
to his family's head and he's either
soon to be dead or is soon to disappear
and you know people are making comments
like this guy's got to stay away from
open Windows this doesn't seem like his
narrative he's speaking somebody else's
narrative about oh yeah I'm just gonna
go to Belarus and you know leave Russia
because they're going to drop the
charges against me really you ran 5 000
mercenaries and tanks through Russia
flowing through blockades and fighting
with Russian helicopters because you
were really worried about Putin's
charges right oh okay if that's the
mainstream narrative and we're supposed
to believe it
okay but anyway finishing a first here
on China I I want you to really think
about this as the larger picture not
just this mercenary group I want you to
think about how weakening this is for
Putin and why that weakening for Putin
makes the rest of the world that relies
on Putin nervous consider again China
for a moment look on screen now China's
holiday tourism moderates in June but
not only does it moderate in June I want
you to look at the level of trips
compared to 2019. on the left side you
can actually see that in January and
April we had 80 percent of the trips
that we had of 2019 and that's actually
risen in May and June to about 115
that's good that's that's decent but you
know what's not decent I want you to
look at the right side chart I'm going
to hide myself for a moment look at the
right side chart right here what do you
see average spending per tourist in
China has never this year exceeded 100
of 2019 levels
this is bad in fact they just had their
Dragon Boat Festival and many reasons to
spend money in China and what's
happening people are actually spending
less money now than they're spending or
were spending in 2019. this is not an
economy that's growing at five percent
like people suggest there's a chance
China could go into an outright
recession and you know what would drive
China and North Korea and potentially
even India into a recession or into an
even worse economic straight or one of
inflation or one uh well of continued
inflation to some regard although China
doesn't have too much of inflation issue
relative to the rest of the world but
what could do that expensive oil
expensive wheat things that both could
get more expensive with the collapse of
a potential Russian government and what
did this real Mutiny tell us over the
weekend well told us that Putin doesn't
have the control that we think he does
or many of us may be already saying well
we never really thought he had any
control anyway it's just a puppet
but he's always been seen as a puppet
master remember when Dimitri Medvedev
was the boss man in Russia for a while
nobody actually thought he was it was
Putin it was really running the show
behind the scenes
going historical here we don't have to
be too distracted on that tangent but
consider this this Uprising shattered
any appearance of stability that Russia
really has and this is dangerous for
these other countries and it's really
probably a big positive for frankly the
front lines of Ukraine silenski and
Ukraine should really be cheering This
Disaster and they almost certainly are
mostly because
Russia's already had a very difficult
time recruiting soldiers not only do you
have a massive labor shortage in Russia
much like you do in many economies
around the world but you have a massive
Soldier shortage to the point where
Russia will essentially draft men and of
of uh fighting age which is pretty dang
Broad in Russia you could be pretty old
pretty young and you gotta go and if you
don't you get sent to a Work Camp
basically a concentration camp where you
can think and work really hard about why
you didn't go serve you would have
wished you would have served most people
would rather serve than be in a Russian
prison
my assumption of course point is
Russia's got big problems this does not
help encourage people to say all right
I'm gonna sign up for the Russian army
now I want you to think about this
The Mercenaries how many of them
who are so fed up
with Putin that they were willing to
follow their leader in a March well I
shouldn't even call it a March in a near
attack against Russia
the folks in the Wagner group were
willing to attack Moscow
and what now they're supposed to just go
sign up for the Russian army that's at
least what the mainstream media is
telling us you gotta be kidding me
and this idea of you gotta be kidding me
is fantastic for Ukraine but it's bad
for China Russia and India
and that's the point it actually just
strengthens the United States and
Ukraine and Europe and it weakens the
developing block are they on the other
side of the world
no I'm not trying to pick sides here and
say yeah Stick it to China or whatever I
actually kind of feel bad for China to
some extent because
China's already going through some
massive crap from a real estate collapse
to more real estate Builders just
collapsed over the weekend you've got an
economy that's I don't think growing
near five percent I don't trust the
Chinese statistics but then again maybe
I'm a little critical of China regularly
critical of China but I I think China is
trying to set themselves up as the best
place to uh to to run a factory and and
to create your company and they use
Tesla as an example for that and they're
doing that because they have to because
they're lacking substantial growth and
it's going to be a bigger long-term
issue and this Russian issue is just
adding fuel to the Chinese India and uh
really uh side of the block that's
anti-united states are not always
aligned with the United States so it
props up the United States more long and
short what is bad for Putin is not so
great for these other countries trees
and ultimately a benefit to the United
States it's one of the reasons for the
last
at least couple years but certainly over
the last decade I've made the argument
uh strongly but in the last couple years
more strongly people regularly ask Kevin
why not invest in India why not invest
in these Emerging Markets while India
all you have to do is research what
happened with adani a little bit to
hopefully get your answer there but uh
whoopsies there we go but when it comes
to China uh personally my my thinking is
stay focused on American stocks that
have exposure to China but also be
somewhat cautious and this Russian
disaster could actually give you some
cause for caution for your Chinese
exposed American stocks those are
actually going to be your nvidias your
amds your Taiwan semis not to the extent
that I actually think China would at
this point ever invade uh Taiwan that is
certainly not a position that China is
in right now their economy is
substantially too weak for that and
after seeing what's happening in Russia
I think Putin is giving you the exact
opposite of a reason to invade Taiwan
think about this when Putin invaded
Ukraine
people said oh my gosh if Putin can do
it that means Xi Jinping can do it and
he's going to invade Taiwan
yeah wow how did that go for Putin he
literally had mercenaries run tanks
within what two hours of Moscow they had
a whole 14-hour path to go and it was
like 12 hours later basically right on
time a deal happened to be made just as
mercenaries were what an hour and a half
two hours outside of Russia outside of
Moscow it's absolutely insane the point
is this is a massive signal to even
China don't even think about touching
Taiwan so think about what I'm stitching
together here when I'm stitching
together is Putin is weak this is a
massive massive embarrassment to Putin
it's such an embarrassment to Putin that
when the mercenaries turned around they
had to have a fireworks show in Moscow
and play Russian anthems it's all
propaganda it's ridiculous we already
know that
but consider the follow-on effects this
means lower risk of conflict between
China and Taiwan it means greater chance
of success
with Ukraine harder opportunity for
Russia to continue the war
it also means potentially a weaker
economy for India China North Korea as
if the war falters potentially oil
prices rise again inducing some
inflation for those countries bye-bye
cheap stimulative oil go back to paying
normal prices for oil but regime regime
change excuse me could also be a big hit
to well purchasers of of of Chinese
Goods or Indian Goods which Russia is
and vice versa very large trading
partners so
excuse me so what does this mean well it
means that this Friday we have a price
increase for the courses on building
your wealth link down below but you
already knew that because it's going to
be June 30th and this weekend we'll be
releasing a whole host of new lectures
in honor of that expiration coming this
Friday we've got a lot of work already
going into those lectures and I can't
wait to post them we'll have new stock
lectures as well including some that
many of you have been asking for on
options volatility so we'll have some
more on that and options in general but
anyway continuing here with um with with
Russia
another potential uh aspect of of This
Disaster that occurred this weekend for
Russia is that you could literally have
people within the Russian army just give
up now that is relatively risky because
those folks would probably serve severe
prison sentences or just be executed
which isn't necessarily a good choice
but a lot of folks are now speculating
that maybe if the Wagner group goes to
Belarus and then maybe there's some way
where all of a sudden Poland's like hey
uh
if you're a defected Russian militant
and you happen to go to Belarus and then
we happen to let you in over here now
all of a sudden what you could
potentially open up is a path
for a Russian soldier to quit the
Russian army via Belarus
and then into Poland as you know
becoming a citizen
that kind of path is one way of draining
Russia of its important resource
Fighters soldiers and if you could
potentially do that you could believe
this war dry of the resources it needs
to go on people in a situation where
their lives are uh being used as
basically pawns and a war
now it's also worth noting that Putin
has not been seen in public since uh
denouncing the Mutiny and threatening
this harsh punishment he never mentioned
the Wagner Chief by name
and also you've got the Wagner Chief a
lot of people looking at photos that
came out of them yesterday and they're
like huh where's the person with the
kind to his family's head because it's
really weird that all of a sudden you
would just U-turn your mercenary Army an
hour and a half but whatever we'll we'll
just believe the mainstream narrative I
suppose that uh he just had a change of
heart and was convinced by the
Belarusian President right okay anywho
so continuing uh Secretary of State
blinken believes that uh this this uh
Wagner Uprising is is a big benefit to
Ukraine there have been a lot of jokes
going around that the Wagner group is
probably about to sign a 6.2 billion
dollar contract with Ukraine and end up
flipping sides and working with Ukraine
and zelinski making the argument that
the enemy of my enemy is my friend and
if the Wagner group is the enemy of
Putin then the Wagner group is a friend
of zielinski obviously that's both of
these are a joke they're a reference to
the 6.2 billion dollar accounting error
that the Pentagon happened to make uh I
I don't actually think there need to be
accounting errors for money to get
smuggled to or via the CIA to you know
groups that you wouldn't want to see
money go to
so as much as I know that people are
making jokes on the internet about oh
6.2 billion dollars it's going exactly
here there or whatever trust me they
don't need to make accounting mistakes
to to spend money on exactly those
things that they want uh whether that's
C4 for the north stream pipeline or a
dam in Russia uh operated by the CAA oh
sorry I don't want to get demonetized
here but anyway continuing uh so what
what else do we know well we know that
the Wagner Chief has been critical of
the Russian military in the past it just
hasn't risen to this level he's actually
made arguments that he was deceived in
terms of why Russia was getting into
this war in the first place that they
believe this sort of false propaganda
set up by Putin and that's these are
strong words uh coming from a mercenary
leader that could really serve uh to
undermine a lot of Putin's efforts going
forward and a lot of folks suggest that
it's going to make it even harder for
Putin to continue uh his uh his charade
or his Onslaught especially into new
areas so this is um uh this is a big
blow massive blow to Russia uh we'll end
up seeing really at this point what's
going to happen to the economy or or I
should say to markets as a result of
this is uh anybody's guess a lot of
folks making references to this as a
chess board and nobody really knows what
move somebody's going to make next wheat
Futures are up about two percent right
now at the time of this recording it's
actually a really benign movement in the
wheat Market when we saw Russia invade
Ukraine we basically doubled mostly
because Ukraine is considered the Bread
Basket of the world and any kind of
disaster Ukraine should affect wheat
prices of course that ended up being
more of a Trader uh uh you know uh
phenomenon than uh a long run elevated
price level for uh for wheat so as usual
people like to buy the rumor and sell
the news although I guess when uh that
was sort of the opposite with you maybe
maybe that's not the right reference I
guess maybe this is more like by The
Invasion sell the war there by The
Invasion sell the war that's kind of
what happened with wheat Futures uh back
when Ukraine was invaded But now
oh it's moving two percent and oils up
like 67 bips on the U.S blend and 74 on
the international blend this is like
nothing the Market's kind of like yeah
at least it happened on the weekend I
honestly think that's what the market is
thinking I think the Market's like well
at least we didn't get the volatility
Spike law during the work week uh which
is like a super like Posh and like
thing to say
as I wear a shirt and tie in a suit
jacket but anyway
that is uh that is what some of people
arguing so anywho this catches you up
really just sort of as a broad overview
with with at least some of the
considerations that should be running
through your mind about this coup
whether the coup was orchestrated by the
CIA or not I you know there's so much
conspiracy I don't really care uh where
there's so much that goes on we don't
know the answers to everything you can't
rule anything out these days the the
point more practically is what we've
discussed in this video so hopefully
it's useful for you and uh if you like
practical insights like this make sure
