Wall Street DEMANDING *Urgent* Stimulus Checks** NOW! [Trump Tariffs]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Holy smokes. Wall Street banks are now
actively calling for stimulus checks.
I'm going to show you this Wall Street
piece right now, but this is wild. I
haven't seen this. And it's frankly a
sign that I think a lot of banks are
starting to freak out and a lot of
people on Wall Street are tired of
winning. I mean, are tired of losing.
Markets in the last 31 hours have lost
$5.4 trillion.
the largest drops in the S&P 500, the
Dow, the Nasdaq since March 16th of
2020. We were 79 bips away. That's
close. From a circuit breaker going off
on the stock exchanges. Imagine the
cover on the Saturday newspapers had the
circuit breakers gone off. Stocks drop
so badly they have to close the stock
exchanges. That's not good. It just
breeds more panic. JP Morgan now said,
"Oh, 60% chance of recession." Oh, no,
no, no, no. Scratch that. JP Morgan now
expects a recession in the third or
fourth quarter. And remember folks, in
this day and age, markets and news move
a lot faster today than they did in
2001. In fact, the 2020 crash, remember
when I sold and went to cash in January
of 2020 uh to January 2022? Sold and
went to cash. I'm like, I don't know.
Let's hold on a second. Hold on a
second. ended up launching companies
later that year close to the bottom of
the market both house hack and fund
which performed excellently. The total
flows we have seen flows in 2022 move
three times faster than they did in
2011. Now what does that mean? Well 2001
was a three-year crash. 2022 we saw it
all in 9 months. What could that mean
for today? Well, a lot of this
compression that we're getting in pain
could be just that. Things are just
moving a lot faster today than they have
historically. And if we're truly getting
ready to price in recession, pricing in
that recession could happen a lot faster
than we think. This is why some are now
calling the MAG 7 the SAG 7. But
eventually, there's going to be a buying
opportunity. Now, what we'll do is we'll
also look into some opportunities for
when it's the right time to buy. But
it's worth noting in the meantime as we
get into this stimulus check item here.
Take a look at this. You've got Robbo
Bank now actively asking you, "Have you
said thank you once?" This is a pretty
big important question here because now
you've got researchers making fun of the
JD Vance Oval Office event. It's gotten
to that level of fear. I didn't think it
could get much worse than that. And then
I saw the stimulus check level of fear.
Let's take a look at that quick mention.
Uh I'm seeing a lot of this happen as
well. I personally see it as a bit of an
indicator, but I'm seeing a lot of
emails like this additional investment
$60,000 investment added. Wire transfer
completed. Lot of emails like this about
house hack my real estate startup where
people are able to invest even if
they're nonacredited investors. Go to
househack.com see the financials. Get
100% of the company upside downside
protections. So if we 5x, 10x, 20x,
100x, 2x, hope, whatever it is,
obviously hope the best, you get that
upside, you have downside protection,
and you get a 5% yield. Go check it out
at house hack.com. But what's awesome in
the scary use of the phrase right now
for some and in the exciting use of the
word awesome for others is Deutsche
Bank. Deutsche Bank now actively
suggesting we should be sending stimulus
checks because the market is going poopy
dupies. What stops this? The market is
doing one thing. Pricing in a global
recession. That's what the market's
doing. Which by the way could be one of
the reasons you're seeing such
positivity in Bitcoin. Frankly, Bitcoin
doesn't have earnings per share. There
are no margins to compress. You know,
the CEO of Restoration Hardware is on
Jim Kramer's show right now talking
about how our margins aren't compressing
because we have all this inventory to go
through. Yeah. Well, this morning in the
course member live stream, we went
through their inventory and we see that
they have $30 million of cash, over a
billion dollars of inventory, and we're
like, how long is this going to last?
Two to four months, best case scenario.
So, they don't actually have that much
inventory. They got just enough to maybe
get through some of this negotiation
phase of tariffs. They do not have
enough to get through sustained tariffs.
Could create opportunities though.
Always opportunity in crisis. Just have
to know where to look. Uh anyway, going
to this Deutsche Bank piece. This is the
shocking piece. Market is doing one
thing. Pricing and global recession.
What is the circuit breaker here? Well,
it's not going to be central banks.
Instead, they say it's going to be
fiscal policy. Okay. In plain English,
that means stemmies, but not I'm not
inter interpreting this. I'm going to
show you where they say. You ready for
this? I don't want you to think it's
Kevin's just like stretching this out or
whatever. They say it. You ready for
this? In the United States, the
administration needs to reanchor the
debate around fiscal strategy that
offsets the huge tax rise that's about
to take place because of tariffs. We
noted yesterday that Treasury Secretary
Bassant refused to do this following the
trade announcements on the 2nd on
liberation day. You ready for this?
Okay, this this is the moment. This is
where they say this is not Kevin like
trying to stretch some interpretation
here. This is a Wall Street
institutional research document and what
do they tell you should be done? It's
right here, folks. Examples of
re-anchoring the fiscal debate include
providing paychecks to households who
are hardest hit from the tariff shock
and introducing retroactive cuts this
year, tax cuts in the reconciliation
bill that is currently being formulated.
In other words, you literally have
Deutsche Bank Research now actively
calling for paychecks to be sent by
Americans affected by this tariff drama
because it's been 2 days of a panic
selloff after the announcement. And
Deutsche Bank is already freaking out.
Now, uh, Bank of America has a little
bit of insight into when they think they
would start considering to buy the dip.
One of the tools that they're using is
they're looking at the put call ratio.
And an argument that they make is they
say, "Hey, look, you know, the put call
ratio, number of people buying puts or
the number of puts being bought versus
calls, so bearish bets versus bullish
bets, uh, is still below one. It's about
a 0.94. It's been skyrocketing." A place
you could see this is you could just
Google CNN greed and fear. This is where
people who don't understand what that
is. But what you mentioned
CNN dislike
unsome. Anyway, um, take a look right
here. This is the CNN greed and fear
index. And what you want to pay
attention to is right here. This put
call ratio. You can see it's rising
towards one. Now, they only go back to
about the summer of last year. So, you
actually don't see that this can go
substantially higher than 1.0. This is
not like it goes to 1.0 and then it's
done. Uh, Bank of America says you want
to go contrarianly bullish when this
gets to about 1.3. So, in other words,
when you have about 30% more puts than
you have calls being bought. And we're
not quite there yet. In addition to
this, Bank of America is telling us most
people did not position for recession.
In fact, take a look at this right here.
Bank of America saying on January 1st,
everyone was all in on US except
exceptionalism. few positioned for
recession. I did. But then again, we've
been talking about it for quite a while
here because the underlying oil spillage
that we've been seeing in the market has
been problematic. Well, I should say in
the economy, not so much the market. The
market had its phase of euphoria, which
is a typical way you end a Nike swoosh
recovery. So, we had our Nike swoosh
recovery from 2022 through 24, and we
ended up with a euphoric boom at the
end. And Warren Buffett sold in
February. He timed that top a little bit
better. Good for him. But the problems
of the underlying economy are present.
The slowdown in the labor market, the
slowdown in pricing power and growth is
either going to signal a big slowdown
for the US economy or something worse.
Now, I call that spilled fuel. It's
baggage basically that we have. Donald
Trump's trade war might just light the
match and sort of ignite that recession
and bring it forward, make it happen a
little bit sooner. Not ideal. And
obviously it's not a foregone conclusion
yet. Like we said, Deutsche Bank tells
us, "Hey, we can avoid this." In fact,
we'll go back to this uh Bank of America
or sorry, the um Deutsche Bank piece
right now. Take a look at this. Bank of
America says that you could frontload
tax cuts in Europe and in the United
States. You could provide subsidies on
consumption purchases. Republican
leadership needs to provide a greater
sense of urgency in moving these tax
cuts along and sending paychecks to
households. In other words, urgently
send paychecks to households. That's
what they're saying here. You know, this
this is look, we got a lot to talk
about. Tomorrow we'll be live again in
the course member liveream. If you're
not part of that, it's a very, you know,
inexpensive monthly membership. Get
access to everything that I do. It's
less than about a buck 70 a day. It's
really good. You cancel at any time. If
you've never tried it before, give it a
shot. Try it out. Go to meet Kevin.com.
Join the course member group. We'll be
talking about this. But what you're
finding is that China is already doing
this. China is already stimulating like
this. And they're doing this because
they're coming out of a recession.
They're coming out of a consumer
depression. Consumers have been so
depressed that now China is thinking
about sending tax credits to people to
upgrade their phones or their computers
just to get pe people spending. And that
usually unfortunately government is slow
slower than central banks. And
unfortunately, the market is likely to
struggle with this slower time frame.
But at the end of the day, it's simple.
This is a US- ccentric fiscal shock
driven by the Trump administration. And
it's Congress, so government policy that
can unwind this. Countries that respond
quickest and the most forcibly to this
shock are those whose currency will be
the most resilient. Right? because
inflation would drive up the value of
their bonds and therefore the value of
their currencies. Or the reverse would
be true if you don't. And on the flip
side, the more the US fiscal strategy
under the Trump administration lacks
visibility, the more the market will
punish the dollar and US assets,
including the SAG 7. One last point,
don't expect the reluctant Fed to
support the dollar. Remember that point
during the European shock crisis of 2022
when the ECB went hawkish and things
collapsed, blah blah blah blah. We
already know the Fed's not coming to
bail us out. But I really want you to
think about this for a moment. The Wall
Street banks are freaking out demanding
paychecks be sent by Congress
urgently. We're just on day two. This is
crazy. It's crazy to me. Uh I mean, hey,
you know, maybe we'll get those Doge
dividend checks, but my gosh. And I do
think there's a chance we'll actually go
to stimulus checks at some point again
in the future. But I'm just going to be
transparent here. I didn't think it
would happen on day two. Like people are
panicking already on day two. Yesterday
was Jerome Powell, please, please bail
us out. Bail us out. Help us. Help us.
Today Jerome Pow's like, "Yeah, no. I'm
going to be patient." So what does it
turn
into? Okay. Send us stimulus checks.
This is unbelievable. This like have we
learned nothing from the first cycle? I
guess not. Uh but another thing that
you'll find here from the uh Bank of
America piece that I found was
interesting was Bank of America says
that uh at least according to their
clients they are 61.7% exposed to
stocks. This means a lot of Americans
with wealth are really seeing a big hit
to their wealth right now. Now I know a
lot of people are like oh but Kevin if
you don't sell you haven't lost
anything. All right. Something we talk
about in the psychology of money
is if you sell, yes, you realize a loss.
It's a taxable event. But don't kid
yourself. When your account goes up in
value, you have access to more capital.
When your account goes down in value,
you have access to less capital. This
idea that, oh, you didn't lose anything
unless you sell. Oh, you don't want to
lock in your losses. That's just what
brokers and fund managers say to you. So
that way they don't have outflows out of
their funds. No broker, dealer, or fund
manager wants you to sell their fund
because they make fees, baby fees. Now,
Bank of America does suggest that, hey,
if you're sticking around for some buy
signals, take a look at this. For them
to get a bull bear signal that would
suggest buying, so a real level of fear
because for some reason their bull bear
scale is sitting at somewhere like a
4.8, 8 which is kind of wild or sorry
4.9 which seems kind of high but they
say they'd be looking as a buy signal as
a couple weeks of big equity outflows
totaling 100 billion or more that would
trigger a buy sale uh or or buy trigger
or 80 88% of global equity trading
indices trading below the 250day moving
average. Currently that level sits at
29%.
So, and that buy signal would first
require the hang uh the HK the Hong Kong
Hangen index and the German DAX to fall
to 20K. All right, here's the put call
ratio. We're at about uh 94 out of that
1.3. They've got some others here. I
don't think that these are necessarily
as useful, but they argue that the
biggest thing would be that would be
useful, which is similar to what
Deutsche Bank says, would be a pivot
away from tariffs towards tax cuts. And
listen to this. Aggressive increases in
the debt ceiling via the Congressional
Budget Reconciliation Bill. Well, if you
want to aggressively increase debt,
you're basically screaming stimulus over
here, too. Except you've got Deutsche
Bank actively calling for paychecks to
be sent to households because of
tariffs. We expect the impact of tariffs
will be somewhere around $2 to $3,000
per household per year. Uh, and Bank of
America is like, "Please take on
aggressive amounts, copious amounts of
more debt. Lather me up. This is a clown
show. It's day two and these massive
institutions can't handle it, man. I
don't know what the signal of this is to
come, but we'll be talking a lot about
it in the course member live streams.

remodeled and worked on. We review
everything here. We do ADU developments,
you name it. But there's a lot more
coming to what we're doing and uh get
