0:00

you know it's bad when the CEO of

0:01

JPMorgan Chase says the following quote

0:04

I was surprised to see how much leverage

0:06

0:07

oh boy

0:09

three days ago folks the bank of England

0:11

0:31

bankruptcies that happened over the last

0:34

into this we'll also talk about what's

0:36

happening today and most importantly

0:39

what's next now before we begin it's

0:42

important to remember the most important

0:43

thing that happens next is the

0:45

expiration of that coupon code linked

1:10

streams for however long I do them which

1:12

I expect to be very long because I enjoy

1:14

doing them and they're a great way to

1:15

share insights in the market with you

1:17

alright folks let's get into the bank of

1:19

England on September 6th the Liz truss

1:21

took over as prime minister of the

1:23

United Kingdom replacing the disgrace to

1:24

Boris Johnson whose reputation had

1:26

really faltered during his handling of

1:28

covet and allegations that he was

1:29

regularly partying as the country was in

1:32

lockdown this became known as partygate

1:34

two days later after Liz truss took over

1:37

Queen Elizabeth died and Queen Elizabeth

1:39

was put to rest on September 19th 11

1:41

days later then just four days after

1:43

that not even three weeks into Liz

1:46

truss's new role her treasury secretary

1:48

or the equivalent of that the chancellor

1:51

of the exchequer kawasi cavatang

1:53

announced plans for a mini budget to be

1:56

voted on in November and in this budget

1:58

he called the United Kingdom a country

2:00

of entrepreneurs and said that the way

2:03

out of the depressive economy we face

2:05

now is to Simply reduce taxes for a lot

2:07

of people and specifically reduce taxes

2:10

for rich people by for example cutting

2:13

the top tax rate from 45 to 40 and

2:16

instead of raising the 19 corporate tax

2:18

rate to 25 getting rid of that hike as

2:21

well as cutting stamp duties to buy real

2:23

estate and offering stimulus for energy

2:25

bill to businesses and homeowners all of

2:27

this would should have been made

2:29

official in November of course that

2:32

night quasi-cartang allegedly went out

2:34

partying with hedge funds who likely

2:36

stand to benefit from the now lower top

2:39

tier taxes that was on a Friday but on

2:42

Monday oh boy the market led Liz trusted

2:46

staff know they hated this because to

2:48

the market it sounded like the United

2:50

Kingdom was about to spend a whole lot

2:52

more money and reduce tax revenues

2:54

during an inflationary time basically

2:56

stimulating the economy while reducing

2:59

revenue for the government requiring

3:00

essentially more money printing which

3:02

again is more inflation all while

3:04

interest rates should be going up to

3:06

lower inflation especially when the

3:08

inflation rate in the United Kingdom is

3:10

just down from a high all the way down

3:12

to 9.9 percent yeah that's right they

3:15

almost have a 10 inflation rate in the

3:17

United Kingdom so when you couple a 10

3:18

inflation rate with a bunch more

3:20

stimulus of course the Market's going to

3:22

free and over the next week the British

3:24

pound collapsed to a new low of dollar

3:26

and three cents that is one British

3:28

pound could buy you a dollar and three

3:29

cents almost at one to one it did

3:31

recover to a dollar and twelve but not

3:33

before causing massive stress in the

3:35

bond market and really exposing as uh

3:37

Warren Buffett says when that tide goes

3:40

out is when you really find out who's

3:42

been swimming naked see what happened

3:44

was basically their equivalent of the

3:47

30-year treasury bond known as gilts

3:49

it's just a bond it's like an IOU in

3:52

Great Britain they lost 20 percent of

3:54

their value extremely quickly so just

3:57

think about owning a stock just as an

3:59

example let's say it's worth a hundred

4:00

and all of a sudden it's worth 80. well

4:02

originally If you're sort of a buy and

4:05

holder kind of person this isn't a big

4:07

deal you're just like all right well I

4:08

mean that sucks you know I could buy

4:10

more if I have some cash or I just

4:11

hoddle and hope one day it recovers

4:13

right but Pension funds aren't buyers

4:15

and holders they're Borrowed by and

4:19

holders in fact there's an entire

4:21

pension fund system that's known as ldi

4:24

Asset Management and it stands for

4:26

liability driven Investment Management

4:30

this is why Jamie Diamond came out and

4:33

said just today I was surprised to see

4:35

how much leverage there was in some of

4:37

these pension plans and that's exactly

4:41

where the real drama came in these ldis

4:44

basically because interest rates have

4:46

been so low for over a decade in order

4:48

for Pension funds to do their job they

4:51

felt the need to borrow a lot more money

4:53

remember what Pension funds do they're

4:56

basically a retirement plan for you

4:57

right let's say you retire and you're

4:59

promised a pension of 50 000 pounds a

5:02

year for the rest of your life just call

5:03

it fifty thousand dollars a year for the

5:05

rest of your life right you put 30 years

5:06

in you expect to get that pension or

5:09

retirement whatever the pension fund

5:11

needs to invest money that they have

5:13

today to make sure they can make those

5:15

payments to you every year in the future

5:16

well because interest rates were so low

5:18

and cash flows for so low on the things

5:21

that they could invest in they decided

5:23

the best thing to do is just buy borrow

5:25

money to increase their returns and you

5:28

know that works really well when the

5:30

Market's going up but it becomes a

5:32

problem really fast when all of a sudden

5:34

rapidly bonds drop 20 and this quickly

5:39

led to a spiral of panic as Pension

5:42

funds were starting to get margin called

5:44

on debt due to the rapidly plummeting

5:46

value of their assets this led Pension

5:48

funds to sell more bonds depressing

5:51

value further and the spiraling is known

5:54

as a doom Loop right now there's about

5:56

one and a half trillion Great British

5:59

pounds worth of ldi investments in the

6:02

system so basically it's a way of saying

6:05

it's potentially a too big to fail

6:07

segment of the entire UK economy on top

6:10

of that one of the custody banks that

6:13

was dealing with these Pension funds had

6:15

so many margin calls they were dealing

6:17

with they didn't even have enough staff

6:19

to help process how many margin calls

6:21

were coming in and there wasn't enough

6:23

liquidity to make this to cover that

6:27

means Pension funds didn't have enough

6:28

cash so they had to dump to be able to

6:31

move money and cover so there are a lot

6:32

of steps involved the issue here wasn't

6:35

so much that rates went up and bonds

6:37

fell it's just how quickly the bond

6:39

market reacted when Liz trusts's crazy

6:42

plan came out which seems like which

6:45

ultimately seemed like it would require

6:46

more rate hikes to prevent even more

6:48

inflation so after this Insanity the

6:51

bank of England intervened on September

6:53

28th just five days later promising an

6:56

unlimited bailout basically setting a

6:58

floor price under the price of these

7:00

bonds this helped guilts regain

7:02

somewhere around 20 in value but they

7:05

also quickly gave that up again because

7:07

the United States inflation rate came in

7:09

at uh on October 13th at a completely

7:12

disastrous level and see the more the

7:14

FED raises rates the more people are

7:17

attracted to invest in U.S bonds and so

7:19

they dump their UK bonds and go invest

7:21

in something they think is safer like

7:23

U.S bonds that's really bad for the

7:26

United Kingdom and just creates more

7:28

pressures for them so to ease the drama

7:32

even further than the Central Bank

7:34

saying we're just gonna buy all the

7:35

bonds we can and basically bail everyone

7:37

out which we'll get into some more

7:39

detail about how much they actually were

7:40

able to pull off Liz trusses government

7:42

u-turned they killed the idea of getting

7:45

rid of the top tax rate on October 3rd

7:47

they will not eliminate the 45 tax

7:49

bracket and at this point her popularity

7:51

fell to a lower level than Boris

7:54

Johnson's popularity or approval rating

7:56

which is kind of sad because she's only

7:57

three weeks in her job and today she

8:00

u-turned again she said that the

8:02

corporate tax raid will not actually be

8:04

held at 19 they're going to take that 25

8:07

percent rate hike back and they're going

8:10

to move corporate tax rates to 25 that

8:12

is in April as planned and after quasi

8:15

quartang ran out of the IMF in

8:17

Washington yesterday he came back home

8:18

to learn that he had been fired he now

8:21

has the award by the way of the shortest

8:24

serving treasure treasury secretary and

8:27

almost well Chancellor of the exchange

8:29

in almost

8:30

190 years he's uh right there in the

8:35

yellow the yellow box there on the left

8:37

after having served just 38 days he's

8:39

the second person ever to have such a

8:41

short term in the UK's history now today

8:45

Liz trust said that her plans went quote

8:47

further and faster than markets were

8:49

expecting so she appointed someone else

8:51

to the job of Quasi quateng this new

8:54

person is named Jeremy Hunt and the goal

8:56

is that maybe he can relax markets a

8:58

little bit now what's with this whole

9:00

three-day thing so on Tuesday Andrew

9:03

Bailey said he's the head of the bank of

9:05

England that's their Central Bank he

9:07

told Pension funds and investment

9:08

institutions that you have quote three

9:10

days left to offload any bonds that you

9:13

have and he said quote you've got to get

9:15

this done

9:16

and while the bank of England said they

9:19

would buy up to an unlimited amount of

9:21

bonds they set aside an expectation that

9:24

they might have to buy around 100

9:25

billion dollars of bonds well today day

9:29

three has come and take a look at what

9:31

we have this is the total number of

9:33

bonds that have been bought and as of

9:35

today only 19 billion dollars in bonds

9:39

have been bought the majority of those

9:41

were bought within the last three days

9:44

right before the deadline which sends a

9:46

little bit of a signal that potentially

9:48

Pension funds just aren't actually ready

9:50

to be able to liquidate and take

9:52

advantage of the bank of England's deal

9:54

though there's also the argument that

9:56

what the bank of England was willing to

9:57

pay was basically locking in losses it's

10:00

kind of like hey we'll bail you out of

10:02

your you know crappy hundred dollar

10:04

stock that's now worth 80 and we'll bail

10:07

you out at 80 and you're like uh but I

10:10

don't really want to sell at 80 like I

10:12

guess I'll give you some anyway

10:13

technically now the bank of England is

10:16

done and so now there are concerns that

10:18

Pension funds were not prepared enough

10:19

to be able to sell I mean you heard

10:20

about the debacle of how hard it was

10:22

just during the Margin Call era and so

10:25

some folks are saying uh oh this is now

10:28

a bomb ready to explode now that's the

10:32

more Dark Side of course you have

10:34

positive people like Larry over at

10:36

BlackRock they do a lot of ldi investing

10:39

by the way and he's the CEO it's a

10:41

little more optimistic he thinks that

10:43

this whole craziness we just went

10:44

through is a way of normalizing the

10:47

markets more of course that's also what

10:49

was said when bear Stearns failed to

10:51

join the bailouts of 1998 and then they

10:53

famously blew up and went bankrupt

10:55

during the Great Recession just 10 years

10:56

later the CEO of JP Morgan plays both

10:59

sides here he says on one hand quote my

11:02

experience in life has been that when

11:03

you have things like what we're going

11:04

through today there are going to be

11:06

other surprises someone is going to be

11:09

offsides in other words warning of

11:11

coming bankruptcies and surprises then

11:13

we're not even aware of yet now at the

11:16

same time he he also says hey but it

11:18

looks like at least some of the problems

11:20

are being resolved now and we don't see

11:22

anything that looks systemic that's his

11:24

argument my response is yeah you don't

11:26

see that yet so what happens next well

11:30

the bailout floor is technically gone

11:33

and if Panic strikes again it's going to

11:36

be a matter of the market to deal with

11:38

it unless of course the central bank

11:39

intervenes again which would totally

11:41

create moral hazard and Crush their

11:43

credibility because they said they're

11:45

done so if they come back nobody's ever

11:47

going to believe them again and they're

11:49

just going to think they're always going

11:50

to come to save the day well if markets

11:53

have to deal with any kind of pension

11:55

fund blow up then Pension funds could

11:57

end up going bankrupt now people are

12:00

still technically owed their money from

12:02

the corporations they worked for their

12:04

pensions so that means if Pension funds

12:07

go bankrupt corporations have to pay

12:09

those pensions and if corporations have

12:12

to pay those pensions they could see

12:15

their stock values plummet massive

12:17

corporations could see their stock

12:18

values plummet because now they have to

12:20

absorb all of these extra costs the only

12:22

way out of this would be if the

12:24

corporations end up going bankrupt which

12:26

they could do which would absolutely

12:27

decimate shareholders and potentially

12:29

have Global implications of companies

12:31

just going bankrupt one after another

12:32

after another kind of like dominoes But

12:34

ultimately you'd probably see the

12:36

government slide in to try to restore

12:39

some faith in the pension system and

12:41

make sure that the 11 million pensioners

12:43

in the United Kingdom are covered of

12:45

course in the meantime you'd have some

12:46

massive shock waves spreading through

12:48

the economy again there's also the flip

12:51

side that the Central Bank could jump in

12:53

but again that kills credibility even

12:55

more than credibility has already been

12:57

killed and so really as sort of like a

13:00

longer bottom line to all of this beyond

13:03

the idea that you got to check out those

13:04

programs on building your wealth link

13:05

down below and use that coupon code

13:06

before it expires tonight Rising rates

13:09

is dangerous Rising rates and seeing

13:12

rates go up really fast

13:15

is even more dangerous this is when

13:17

quantitative tightening starts to feel

13:19

like quantitative destruction and we

13:22

haven't actually really had full

13:24

quantitative tightening yet it just

13:26

shows you that again the people who are

13:28

out there swimming naked or high in debt

13:30

are getting exposed and unfortunately

13:32

those could be really big institutions

13:35

so somehow Pension funds right now are

13:38

trying to come up with up to 280 billion

13:40

pounds just to have enough collateral to

13:43

stop the margin pressures now this could

13:47

end up leading to some short-term

13:49

corporate borrowing where the Pension

13:50

funds are basically like hey Corporation

13:52

we need some time to dump some other

13:54

assets can you just lend us a bridge

13:56

loan and we'll pay you back as soon as

13:58

we go sell some other stuff fine that

14:00

buys the pension fund some more time but

14:02

guess what they end up liquidating then

14:03

well they probably end up liquidating

14:05

things that take longer to sell like

14:08

real estate after all in the United

14:10

States for comparison 87 percent of

14:13

Pension funds that are public and 73 of

14:16

private Pension funds invest in real

14:18

estate to a high degree and selling now

14:21

could give them the opportunity to lock

14:23

in relatively higher prices and build

14:25

Capital buffers that they need to buoy

14:28

debts that they've taken on somewhere

14:29

else now while that might help offload

14:32

some of the risks of these Pension funds

14:34

it's possible you could end up seeing a

14:36

real estate property crash because of

14:39

pension fund offloading in both the

14:41

United Kingdom the United States and

14:43

potentially even other countries

14:45

consider the Netherlands the Netherlands

14:47

have the world's biggest pension system

14:50

at 214 of their gross domestic product

14:53

with over 1.9 trillion dollars in assets

14:56

almost all of it in defined pension

14:58

plans exactly the type of plan that

15:00

frequently uses liability driven

15:02

investment ldi's so what could happen

15:06

well you could have a few things happen

15:08

one the United Kingdom could start a

15:11

domino effect of margin calls pen should

15:13

fund bankruptcies and corporate

15:14

bankruptcies which end up flooding to

15:16

Liquidations in the real estate market

15:17

in the United States market and the

15:19

Netherlands Market this could cause a

15:21

global depression or nothing could

15:24

happen and this was all just a little

15:26

bit of a warning call

15:28

don't take out too much debt I don't

15:31

know what do you think
