WARNING! This TREND **BROKE**
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me Kevin here it's your
favorite long-term investor who loves to
make money because you can be a
long-term investor and trade out of bad
positions and allocate to better
positions but folks we got to talk about
the reality of where people are trading
into right now and it's quite
interesting the allocation because a lot
of folks right now are hoping and are
betting and I originally have made this
statement as well that I believe there's
a good chance small caps would would see
a quick rebound during whenever a
rebound would come so far that has not
been happening in fact take a look at
this okay I'm going to show you this
chart but before I show you this chart
it's it's just worth seeing a little bit
of quick math okay and I know a lot of
us don't like math but the Russell 2000
so the r2000 if you divide this by the
NASDAQ 100 these are our main indices
right here that we watch right if we
divide these over each other and let's
say the Russell I'm just going to make
up up numbers here let's say the
Russell's trading for 50 and the Nas is
trading for 200 that would give you a
ratio of 0.4 right well now let's say
the NASDAQ went up to 400 while the
Russell only went up to I don't know 70
right and so now if we divide this the
the what we're trying to see here is
does the ratio gets smaller or bigger
and it gets a lot smaller now the ratio
is 1.75 so in other words
as the NASDAQ goes up so bigger attack
goes up what's happening to small caps
and how do we look at yields in relation
to that and we get a really interesting
conclusion that I think you're going to
like but of course first I have to just
quickly remind you to check out extra go
to metcaven.com extra check out that
extra debit card build your credit
without having a credit card so that way
you could really get into buying real
estate and I think we're gonna have some
sweet real estate opportunities coming
up in the next uh six to 12 months so uh
get your credit up and get ready go to
metcaven.com extra to learn more link
your existing bank account
and let's take a look at the chart okay
so at first glance this is a little
tricky but what I want you to know is
you want to watch this 10-year treasure
yield which is right here from 2018 when
we're up at three percent notice how
when it goes down the blue line is
following it notice that blue line is
following everywhere it goes so as the
10-year treasury yield fell the ratio
got smaller which means that as treasure
yields fell people were buying more tech
stocks and less small caps right so
yields down people are buying and we'll
write it down yields down more
uh Tech
less
small for yields down that makes sense
right because we're discounting the
future cash flows uh of
um of of tech much more when rates go up
when rates go uh down we don't have to
Discount as much so we could be more
bullish on Tech and what happens Tech
valuations often go up often at least
that's what we're seeing here to the
burn really of a small caps because
again as that blue line goes down the
ratio between the uh the Russell and the
NASDAQ goes down and uh and it just
basically means more money is flowing
into Tech right uh okay but then what
happens when yields go up well yields go
up often not always you see Tech go down
in favor of small caps so when this
ratio goes up and yields go up people
are buying small caps
more and less big Tech that is what's
happening here and this has been pretty
consistent this relationship okay now
we're going to get rid of all this and
we're gonna find something interesting
the relationship is getting destroyed
look at this the relationship is in
tatters
zoom out perfect relationship over here
and all of a sudden over here we've lost
it the relationship is getting destroyed
why is this happening well why it's
happening and what's happening could be
two very different things but let's
clarify first what's happening here so
treasury yields are going up
as treasure yields in the past went up
people invested in small caps more than
they did Big Tech that's not what's
happening right now what's actually
happening right now is people are
investing more money into big Tech and
less is flowing into small
uh which is the the ratio of the two is
the blue line over here uh and so you're
seeing more of this flight to safety
probably because of the uncertainties of
inflation and pricing power and War I
would say this last little drop that
you've had over here is probably War
based but the first breakdown over here
is because of inflation concerns so in
other words right now it seems like
investors specifically retail leading
the charge like we saw yesterday are
preferring big tech companies over
Smalls and when you look at just the
charts today I mean today's not an
overall Green Day and look at Tesla it's
a 3.3 percent uh it's it just got
rejected at the 10 35 the 61 8 Fibonacci
line when Tesla is absolutely killing it
you go over QQQ you're actually negative
on the day so if we're just pulling out
some of the big guys like Tesla and
apple their perform warming well today
now this isn't going to obviously work
perfectly I mean matterport's a small
cap but the point is that more broadly
if we zoom out over here and this makes
sense small caps have absolutely
underperformed the big Tech and
unfortunately that Trend doesn't appear
to be getting better if anything it
appears to be getting worse and so I
wanted to talk about that in this video
because when we're positioning and we're
making bets on small versus a larger cap
right now at least large caps winning
and this is a ratio to pay attention to
when we actually finally start seeing
small caps recover maybe that's the time
to jump in here but so far we're not
actually seeing that small cap recovery
yet don't get me wrong I mean I'm in
matterport I'm in palantir and I've got
some Sofi though I just reduced a little
bit of my sulfide position specifically
because we have the lending risks and
the small cap transition and instead
I've moved into uh just as this is about
two hundred thousand dollars so we're
talking about one percent of the
portfolio uh it made it made a small
little move in into a different company
uh whom yesterday I really fell in love
with substantially I already owned the
company but I added uh more allocation
to it after I went through their last
quarterly report it's amazing we'll talk
more about that at different time of
course I've already sent that alert to
everyone in the stocks and psychology a
money group and in our course member
live stream this morning uh we're gonna
be spending a lot of time talking about
some sweet trends that are going on uh
within within the uh consumer world but
uh this year pay attention to it
consider this in your investing and if
you want to track this just all you have
to do is remember divide the Russell by
the NASDAQ you get the ratio compare it
to what the treasuries are doing and
when we start seeing this ratio go back
up that's going to be a good sign for
small caps overall so if I were to write
down uh let's say a little rule of thumb
I might go to let's just say cnbc.com
really quick and I'll take what the
Russell actually is which is 2069
divided by what the NASDAQ actually is
which is 14 000. that puts us at about
14.69 so I'm gonna have to see the
Russell probably go to about 24. I mean
even if we get 400 points on the Russell
it's barely gonna move that and that'll
almost be 20 right there uh you know
that would bring us uh no actually that
would bring us back in line 17.5 that
would bring us right over here probably
need the NASDAQ to stay stable and the
Russell to go to about
25.69 and then we'd be here at 18.2 we'd
almost be back lined up with uh with
that treasury yield curve so you've
definitely got a rust lag and uh and
that of course assumes Nas staying
stable but my opinion interesting thing
to observe doesn't necessarily mean you
always want to follow the trend but if
you're making big Investments solely
into small caps you might at least for
the time being it looks like be getting
slightly left behind and this is not me
to me trying to bag on small caps don't
get me wrong again I got some small caps
uh but um yeah it's it's a trend that we
need to be aware of it's uh the the
previous Trend that we had with uh
yields Rising small Caps doing well it's
not happening it's broken apart all
right folks check out my kevin.com extra
check out the programs on building your
wall thanks so much and we'll see in the
next one goodbye
