check out before black friday my black
friday sale ads okay let's get into
what's happening in the market and then
we'll talk about this new uh big short
here okay so
first it's worth noting that a lot of
institutional investors in my opinion
and in the opinion of bloomberg
researchers got into
the tech rally a little bit late
they uh and and when they got in late
with a lot of money they ended up
pumping up the values for stocks like
tesla because they had missed out in my
opinion lucid rivian because they had
missed out on tesla runs they pumped up
the values for companies like end phase
or etsy or a firm these are really high
quality companies that are trading at
pretty expensive valuations there's a
reason i've stopped buying these
companies many many uh months ago well
maybe not many months ago about two
months ago we had a dip in september
right into september early october that
was a perfect time to buy people are
always like oh but kevin you can't time
the market it's like really like look at
september
it's worth looking at it again here take
a peek at it and then i want you to
compare where what the dip is that we
have now compared to september i think
it'll really help give you some
perspective so take a look at this this
was your september dip right here the
end of september dip bottomed on about 9
20 double bottomed on about october 4th
and then we took off like what we're
experiencing now is nothing i mean look
at that we've barely experienced
anything yet however
this is either going to be an inflection
point or we're going to break through
and see something where we end up
trading under the 20-day moving average
again for a few weeks as individuals are
concerned about well what they're
concerned about in this market now i'm
going to talk about exactly what the
concerns are in this market because uh
not not everyone believes that the
market could be at an inflection point
and that it might rotate to the downside
and that's okay like honestly i'd rather
it not take a look at where the selling
pressure is located it's mostly not in
the dow the dow is relatively flat up
0.11
but it's in the s p and it's especially
in the nasdaq nasdaq technologies down
1.5 today but the s p also down about
half of a percent okay cool so why is
this happening well i believe it's
because we had a lot of institutional
investors get into technology stocks
relatively late okay fine so they pushed
up valuations to do crazy highs now what
like why all of a sudden would prices be
falling for these companies what's the
problem why are we seeing a sell-off
especially after jerome powell got
renominated like we were uncertain that
if the federal reserve ends up getting a
new nomination of somebody totally
different then that would increase
market uncertainty which would could
lead to a potential market sell-off
because well we don't know how another
fed person would act right
well something very interesting is
happening and it's kind of the same
thing in reverse the market is actually
a little bit concerned that jerome
powell
is going to take longer to respond to
inflation and because he's potentially
going to take longer to respond to
inflation we're going to end up with
more inflation for longer
and while this transitory inflation
lasts longer we're starting to see the
bond market and the stock market price
in the fact that we might have to
discount future earnings of higher
valuation companies more now i'm going
to talk about my big short in just a
moment but i want to talk about the
10-year treasury look at the 10-year
treasury from when jerome powell was
re-nominated and compare it to where we
stand now so what we're going to do is
we're going to go to the 5-day because
we know jay powell was re-nominated on
monday monday was the 22nd take a look
at this 10-year treasury yields on
friday had fallen to a new low or recent
low of about
1.53
as soon as j-pal was already nominated
treasury yields jumped up to about 1.59
and they've been on a steady climb since
then heading to about 1.662
if market history gives us any guide as
to how much the market might price in
treasury yields rising and how much
longer pain could last in this market
it's worth taking a look at what we
previously had in september
october and in march through may take a
look at this
in september when we first started
having pain in the market we went from
treasury yields of about 1.27
all the way up to about 1.53 so we got
that big dip in the s p 500 dip one with
a .2
change on the 10-year treasury the pain
continued with another 0.1 change in the
treasury so we could get a whole 0.3
percent change a whole 3.3 change from
from where we started the beginning of
the week could put us somewhere in the
range of 1.72 to 1.82 which take a look
at this if we go to the big sell-off
that we had earlier in the year that led
to the pain in march april and may we
had an explosion of yields from about
1.15
all the way up to about 1.73 now that's
a lot larger of a move that's about a
point six percent move much more
substantial but we were coming off some
pretty dang low lows so instead i would
probably look at this as a little bit
more of a chartist and i would say hey
we might see yields easily pop back up
to 1.72
not necessarily to a new high of around
1.8 i certainly think sitting around
this 1.7 1.6 number is very realistic
and that's kind of the peak that we saw
in october as well uh and we're almost
there right we're at 1.66 so i what i
mean by this is i think the market still
has some room to price in pain if the 10
years run all the way up to 1.8 1.82 i
expect tech will continue to sell off
and we could see a nice little by the
dip opportunity before the end of the
year we'll see what ends up happening
because as we know markets are difficult
to predict but what do you know about my
portfolio well you know that i'm pretty
dang long about 15
of my money is not invested in the
market well with the exception of now my
big short
so we'll talk about that in just a
moment but uh
most of my money is in so about 85
percent of my money is in this market
long so that means when tesla's down
seven percent it's a painful day when
etsy and phase
affirm when these companies fall it's a
painful day but the value of the
portfolio falls
a lot and fast so i wanted to
find a way to short this market without
having to have the massive risk of
buying short-term puts and then seeing
them quickly you turn on me now don't
get me wrong i love the idea of buying
short-term puts against something like a
rivien or
a lucid i think and not financial advice
nothing in this video shall be construed
as financial advice
but i love the idea of shorting rivian
darn it i should have shorted it like 10
minutes ago because it was green
and it's just started falling
but anyway i love the idea of shorting
rivian i love the idea of shorting lucid
i love it because i think these
companies are substantially over valued
now shorts are a little expensive like
soul puts or i'm sorry purchase puts are
a little expensive on rivian a little
expensive on lucid right now uh but if
the eevee sector ends up coming to a
halt having a short position against uh
lucid and rivie in a put position
against these would be a very good idea
and actually what i might do now the
more that i think about it i might
actually increase my short and i'm
probably going to do this i'm probably
going to buy
some some options against lucid and
rivien as well but they're going to be a
lot smaller than my big short that's
because when you buy like 30 day puts or
25 day puts the value of these puts can
move very very quickly you can make a
lot of money really fast but you could
also lose a lot of money very very
quickly now to some degree if the market
in ebus rallies my tesla will take me to
the moon it's fine like i'll just have a
little bit less moon money if the market
in evs plummets i'm going to get killed
on tesla
i think lucid and rivian will fall twice
as hard as tesla that's not necessarily
the case today but in the long run i i
believe that
uh and having a short position against
them would probably be a good idea i
honestly don't know if i would go for
december or january at this point i
might pay the extra and go for a january
put but we'll see just in case you have
an end of the year kind of profit-taking
cycle
but what is my real big short
okay you ready for this let me give you
a little bit of information first
because it's going to help you kind of
understand why i'm making this bet
and i'm of course going to mention again
you should really check out the programs
on building your web link down below and
use that black friday coupon code and
then we can have a conversation about
this in our in our live streams
uh but anyway uh here's here's a stat
that you need to know at the start of
the fourth quarter hedge funds had 33
exposure to high growth and high
valuation companies which are companies
that exceed 10 times sales the start of
the fourth quarter was october and that
was really dip time and that number in
my opinion has substantially increased i
wouldn't be surprised if a lot of hedge
funds have closer to 50 exposure to high
growth and high valuation companies
remember a lot of hedge funds like to
hedge and if hedge funds start hedging
more then we'll get a less buying
pressure on technology when we have less
hedge fund buying pressure on technology
technology is more likely to full
because as people sell and there are
less buyers prices come down but in
addition to having less buying pressure
on technology because it's no longer the
sexy thing right now because everybody's
making fun of it i think hedge funds are
likely to hedge which means shorting and
potentially making similar plays to what
i'm making i just want to be
earlier
than them at doing this now i've already
shorted the market once very very
profitably and i'm doing it again today
and so i'm going to show you a lower
risk short that i'm making uh and the
reason as well that i think institutions
are the ones uh sort of at the center of
a lot of the sell-off that we have right
here
is take a look at this i'm going to pull
this up this was a
the video clip from yesterday's live
stream
and take a look at this nvidia falls
about an hour before the close and
really sells off going into the close
right let's fast forward yesterday's
live stream look at that it just kind of
keeps falling into the clothes and look
at that volume that's not retail volume
roller coasting these stocks down this
is end phase that volume at the close
that's institutional volume in my
opinion i can't know for sure but that's
usually when institutions close and when
they hedge towards the end of the day so
you get these roller coaster sell-offs
but it wasn't just an nvidia or an face
it was in neo it was in jp morgan which
implies index selling or index hedging
apple also index shorting index hedging
look at those falls into the close here
folks
google paypal net these guys were
selling off into the close
very typical institutional sell-off
period so i think it's possible that
fear is going to return to these
institutions and we're going to have a
little bit more pain longer
for for a lot of these different
companies so what do i want to do to
short the market where i'm not going to
get rich really quick but i hopefully
also won't get killed really quickly
right
and that's that's important because
with a short position again you get puts
you get destroyed you could get
destroyed very very very quickly so it's
high risk well there's a new product
that came out i'm not sponsored by them
but i am invested in their product and
it's called s
arc and that stands for short arc
short arc is up 14 since they launched a
couple weeks ago
they use swaps to basically short the
underlying securities in arc invest and
so the way this works is if arc invest
goes up
this goes down if arc invest goes down
this goes up now
unfortunately at the time of this
recording
arc kind of has been going straight down
all day
but we're having a little bit of a push
up here right now which this would just
be so much more beautiful if i were
recording this while it was going down
but that's okay it doesn't matter so
much this is arc k and so as arc k is
going up we're going to expect s arc to
go down so let's go on over to s arc
here it is it's up 4.5 today
and there you go it's showing a little
bit of a rotation to the downside
now
i have
about one actually do i have five
hundred oh sorry i have 100 000 shares
of s arc my plan is to stay in this
position very very
briefly
like i don't want to be in this for the
long term i don't want to short cafe
short the market for the long term this
to me is probably a play that i'm
interested in making for the next couple
weeks and that's specifically because
i'm looking for a dip in the market if
this market sell-off reverses and stocks
start rallying again kind of like how
the market responded in a weird way this
morning and we get a little bit of a
rally again this morning then this isn't
going to do too well and i'll probably
close my position i expect my downside
risk is maybe 10
because it's not like a leveraged it's
not like an option if if i see you know
trends changing treasury yields falling
tech going back up i could easily step
out of this position small hedge
but the more my technology stocks sell
off the more i'm bleeding and i have in
my opinion a relatively cheap insurance
policy against at least a portion of my
portfolio against about 12 percent of
the portfolio
if uh if if arc and tech continue to
sell off this should be a tool for
giving me more money in a dip and i
think that's cool is that if i can have
money not just in cash on the side but
some of it in an s arc where it's
relatively low risk i'm not going to
lose a lot of money in my opinion no
guarantees like i'm not a financial
advisor i can't tell you this is low
risk but what i believe is potentially
lower risk certainly compared to options
right
uh if uh if you know this this ends up
if the market ends up crashing uh and
and tesla sells off 20 30 percent arc
invest sells off 20 or whatever cool i'm
gonna have 20 more money to go buy the
dip if the market rallies great i'm
gonna be making a killian killing on my
tech stocks and uh here on my s arc
position i'm gonna lose a little bit uh
you know 10 15 whatever but i'll
probably close that position as soon as
i see kind of a u-turn in the market uh
i watch the market pretty regularly and
of course once i cycle out of this i'll
i'll definitely be um as always sending
an alert to everybody in the stocks and
psychology of money group uh and so
really keep it the cool thing is what
you really just have to do is watch what
our k does because s arc is going to do
the opposite we're seeing a little bit
of potential by the dipping uh right now
but then again we saw that throughout
the day and then we ended up go pulling
back to lowe's so obviously on the
minute candle sticks you're going to
have
you're going to have some pain you look
at the hour candle stick or the day
candle stick on arc look at this we've
really kind of just started selling off
here you it makes you wonder if we're
going to get back down to mellows i
wouldn't be surprised if we do so maybe
another 10 drawdown
no guarantees though generally i'm long
in this market i don't like to short the
market
so there you have it thank you so much

programs i'm building your wealth down
below and check out the pre-sale for the
new course as well alright folks
