0:00

Holy smokes. Wall Street banks are now

0:01

actively calling for stimulus checks.

0:05

I'm going to show you this Wall Street

0:07

piece right now, but this is wild. I

0:09

haven't seen this. And it's frankly a

0:12

sign that I think a lot of banks are

0:13

starting to freak out and a lot of

0:16

people on Wall Street are tired of

0:18

winning. I mean, are tired of losing.

0:21

Markets in the last 31 hours have lost

0:24

$5.4 trillion.

0:27

the largest drops in the S&P 500, the

0:29

Dow, the Nasdaq since March 16th of

0:33

2020. We were 79 bips away. That's

0:37

close. From a circuit breaker going off

0:39

on the stock exchanges. Imagine the

0:42

cover on the Saturday newspapers had the

0:44

circuit breakers gone off. Stocks drop

0:47

so badly they have to close the stock

0:50

exchanges. That's not good. It just

0:53

breeds more panic. JP Morgan now said,

0:57

"Oh, 60% chance of recession." Oh, no,

0:59

no, no, no. Scratch that. JP Morgan now

1:02

expects a recession in the third or

1:05

fourth quarter. And remember folks, in

1:08

this day and age, markets and news move

1:10

a lot faster today than they did in

1:13

2001. In fact, the 2020 crash, remember

1:16

when I sold and went to cash in January

1:18

of 2020 uh to January 2022? Sold and

1:21

went to cash. I'm like, I don't know.

1:22

Let's hold on a second. Hold on a

1:24

second. ended up launching companies

1:26

later that year close to the bottom of

1:27

the market both house hack and fund

1:29

which performed excellently. The total

1:32

flows we have seen flows in 2022 move

1:35

three times faster than they did in

1:37

2011. Now what does that mean? Well 2001

1:40

was a three-year crash. 2022 we saw it

1:43

all in 9 months. What could that mean

1:45

for today? Well, a lot of this

1:47

compression that we're getting in pain

1:49

could be just that. Things are just

1:51

moving a lot faster today than they have

1:54

historically. And if we're truly getting

1:55

ready to price in recession, pricing in

1:58

that recession could happen a lot faster

2:00

than we think. This is why some are now

2:02

calling the MAG 7 the SAG 7. But

2:04

eventually, there's going to be a buying

2:06

opportunity. Now, what we'll do is we'll

2:08

also look into some opportunities for

2:10

when it's the right time to buy. But

2:13

it's worth noting in the meantime as we

2:14

get into this stimulus check item here.

2:16

Take a look at this. You've got Robbo

2:19

Bank now actively asking you, "Have you

2:23

said thank you once?" This is a pretty

2:26

big important question here because now

2:29

you've got researchers making fun of the

2:32

JD Vance Oval Office event. It's gotten

2:36

to that level of fear. I didn't think it

2:38

could get much worse than that. And then

2:40

I saw the stimulus check level of fear.

2:42

Let's take a look at that quick mention.

2:44

Uh I'm seeing a lot of this happen as

2:46

well. I personally see it as a bit of an

2:48

indicator, but I'm seeing a lot of

2:50

emails like this additional investment

2:53

$60,000 investment added. Wire transfer

2:56

completed. Lot of emails like this about

2:58

house hack my real estate startup where

3:00

people are able to invest even if

3:02

they're nonacredited investors. Go to

3:03

househack.com see the financials. Get

3:05

100% of the company upside downside

3:07

protections. So if we 5x, 10x, 20x,

3:10

100x, 2x, hope, whatever it is,

3:12

obviously hope the best, you get that

3:15

upside, you have downside protection,

3:17

and you get a 5% yield. Go check it out

3:19

at house hack.com. But what's awesome in

3:22

the scary use of the phrase right now

3:24

for some and in the exciting use of the

3:27

word awesome for others is Deutsche

3:30

Bank. Deutsche Bank now actively

3:32

suggesting we should be sending stimulus

3:34

checks because the market is going poopy

3:37

dupies. What stops this? The market is

3:40

doing one thing. Pricing in a global

3:43

recession. That's what the market's

3:45

doing. Which by the way could be one of

3:47

the reasons you're seeing such

3:49

positivity in Bitcoin. Frankly, Bitcoin

3:52

doesn't have earnings per share. There

3:54

are no margins to compress. You know,

3:56

the CEO of Restoration Hardware is on

3:58

Jim Kramer's show right now talking

4:00

about how our margins aren't compressing

4:02

because we have all this inventory to go

4:04

through. Yeah. Well, this morning in the

4:06

course member live stream, we went

4:07

through their inventory and we see that

4:10

they have $30 million of cash, over a

4:12

billion dollars of inventory, and we're

4:14

like, how long is this going to last?

4:16

Two to four months, best case scenario.

4:18

So, they don't actually have that much

4:20

inventory. They got just enough to maybe

4:22

get through some of this negotiation

4:24

phase of tariffs. They do not have

4:27

enough to get through sustained tariffs.

4:30

Could create opportunities though.

4:32

Always opportunity in crisis. Just have

4:34

to know where to look. Uh anyway, going

4:36

to this Deutsche Bank piece. This is the

4:38

shocking piece. Market is doing one

4:40

thing. Pricing and global recession.

4:41

What is the circuit breaker here? Well,

4:43

it's not going to be central banks.

4:45

Instead, they say it's going to be

4:47

fiscal policy. Okay. In plain English,

4:50

that means stemmies, but not I'm not

4:53

inter interpreting this. I'm going to

4:55

show you where they say. You ready for

4:57

this? I don't want you to think it's

4:58

Kevin's just like stretching this out or

5:00

whatever. They say it. You ready for

5:01

this? In the United States, the

5:03

administration needs to reanchor the

5:06

debate around fiscal strategy that

5:08

offsets the huge tax rise that's about

5:11

to take place because of tariffs. We

5:14

noted yesterday that Treasury Secretary

5:16

Bassant refused to do this following the

5:19

trade announcements on the 2nd on

5:21

liberation day. You ready for this?

5:23

Okay, this this is the moment. This is

5:25

where they say this is not Kevin like

5:27

trying to stretch some interpretation

5:29

here. This is a Wall Street

5:31

institutional research document and what

5:35

do they tell you should be done? It's

5:38

right here, folks. Examples of

5:40

re-anchoring the fiscal debate include

5:43

providing paychecks to households who

5:46

are hardest hit from the tariff shock

5:49

and introducing retroactive cuts this

5:53

year, tax cuts in the reconciliation

5:56

bill that is currently being formulated.

5:58

In other words, you literally have

6:01

Deutsche Bank Research now actively

6:04

calling for paychecks to be sent by

6:07

Americans affected by this tariff drama

6:11

because it's been 2 days of a panic

6:13

selloff after the announcement. And

6:15

Deutsche Bank is already freaking out.

6:19

Now, uh, Bank of America has a little

6:22

bit of insight into when they think they

6:24

would start considering to buy the dip.

6:27

One of the tools that they're using is

6:29

they're looking at the put call ratio.

6:31

And an argument that they make is they

6:33

say, "Hey, look, you know, the put call

6:35

ratio, number of people buying puts or

6:38

the number of puts being bought versus

6:39

calls, so bearish bets versus bullish

6:41

bets, uh, is still below one. It's about

6:44

a 0.94. It's been skyrocketing." A place

6:47

you could see this is you could just

6:48

Google CNN greed and fear. This is where

6:51

people who don't understand what that

6:52

is. But what you mentioned

6:57

CNN dislike

7:00

unsome. Anyway, um, take a look right

7:04

here. This is the CNN greed and fear

7:07

index. And what you want to pay

7:08

attention to is right here. This put

7:10

call ratio. You can see it's rising

7:12

towards one. Now, they only go back to

7:14

about the summer of last year. So, you

7:16

actually don't see that this can go

7:17

substantially higher than 1.0. This is

7:19

not like it goes to 1.0 and then it's

7:21

done. Uh, Bank of America says you want

7:23

to go contrarianly bullish when this

7:25

gets to about 1.3. So, in other words,

7:28

when you have about 30% more puts than

7:31

you have calls being bought. And we're

7:33

not quite there yet. In addition to

7:36

this, Bank of America is telling us most

7:39

people did not position for recession.

7:42

In fact, take a look at this right here.

7:44

Bank of America saying on January 1st,

7:46

everyone was all in on US except

7:49

exceptionalism. few positioned for

7:51

recession. I did. But then again, we've

7:55

been talking about it for quite a while

7:56

here because the underlying oil spillage

7:59

that we've been seeing in the market has

8:00

been problematic. Well, I should say in

8:02

the economy, not so much the market. The

8:04

market had its phase of euphoria, which

8:06

is a typical way you end a Nike swoosh

8:08

recovery. So, we had our Nike swoosh

8:10

recovery from 2022 through 24, and we

8:13

ended up with a euphoric boom at the

8:15

end. And Warren Buffett sold in

8:16

February. He timed that top a little bit

8:18

better. Good for him. But the problems

8:22

of the underlying economy are present.

8:25

The slowdown in the labor market, the

8:27

slowdown in pricing power and growth is

8:29

either going to signal a big slowdown

8:32

for the US economy or something worse.

8:34

Now, I call that spilled fuel. It's

8:37

baggage basically that we have. Donald

8:40

Trump's trade war might just light the

8:42

match and sort of ignite that recession

8:44

and bring it forward, make it happen a

8:46

little bit sooner. Not ideal. And

8:48

obviously it's not a foregone conclusion

8:50

yet. Like we said, Deutsche Bank tells

8:52

us, "Hey, we can avoid this." In fact,

8:54

we'll go back to this uh Bank of America

8:56

or sorry, the um Deutsche Bank piece

8:58

right now. Take a look at this. Bank of

9:00

America says that you could frontload

9:02

tax cuts in Europe and in the United

9:04

States. You could provide subsidies on

9:06

consumption purchases. Republican

9:08

leadership needs to provide a greater

9:10

sense of urgency in moving these tax

9:12

cuts along and sending paychecks to

9:15

households. In other words, urgently

9:17

send paychecks to households. That's

9:20

what they're saying here. You know, this

9:22

this is look, we got a lot to talk

9:24

about. Tomorrow we'll be live again in

9:26

the course member liveream. If you're

9:27

not part of that, it's a very, you know,

9:29

inexpensive monthly membership. Get

9:31

access to everything that I do. It's

9:32

less than about a buck 70 a day. It's

9:35

really good. You cancel at any time. If

9:36

you've never tried it before, give it a

9:38

shot. Try it out. Go to meet Kevin.com.

9:40

Join the course member group. We'll be

9:42

talking about this. But what you're

9:43

finding is that China is already doing

9:46

this. China is already stimulating like

9:49

this. And they're doing this because

9:50

they're coming out of a recession.

9:52

They're coming out of a consumer

9:55

depression. Consumers have been so

9:57

depressed that now China is thinking

9:59

about sending tax credits to people to

10:02

upgrade their phones or their computers

10:03

just to get pe people spending. And that

10:06

usually unfortunately government is slow

10:11

slower than central banks. And

10:13

unfortunately, the market is likely to

10:15

struggle with this slower time frame.

10:17

But at the end of the day, it's simple.

10:19

This is a US- ccentric fiscal shock

10:22

driven by the Trump administration. And

10:25

it's Congress, so government policy that

10:27

can unwind this. Countries that respond

10:31

quickest and the most forcibly to this

10:33

shock are those whose currency will be

10:36

the most resilient. Right? because

10:38

inflation would drive up the value of

10:39

their bonds and therefore the value of

10:41

their currencies. Or the reverse would

10:43

be true if you don't. And on the flip

10:45

side, the more the US fiscal strategy

10:48

under the Trump administration lacks

10:50

visibility, the more the market will

10:53

punish the dollar and US assets,

10:56

including the SAG 7. One last point,

10:59

don't expect the reluctant Fed to

11:01

support the dollar. Remember that point

11:03

during the European shock crisis of 2022

11:05

when the ECB went hawkish and things

11:07

collapsed, blah blah blah blah. We

11:08

already know the Fed's not coming to

11:10

bail us out. But I really want you to

11:12

think about this for a moment. The Wall

11:13

Street banks are freaking out demanding

11:16

paychecks be sent by Congress

11:20

urgently. We're just on day two. This is

11:24

crazy. It's crazy to me. Uh I mean, hey,

11:28

you know, maybe we'll get those Doge

11:29

dividend checks, but my gosh. And I do

11:32

think there's a chance we'll actually go

11:34

to stimulus checks at some point again

11:36

in the future. But I'm just going to be

11:37

transparent here. I didn't think it

11:38

would happen on day two. Like people are

11:41

panicking already on day two. Yesterday

11:44

was Jerome Powell, please, please bail

11:46

us out. Bail us out. Help us. Help us.

11:48

Today Jerome Pow's like, "Yeah, no. I'm

11:50

going to be patient." So what does it

11:52

turn

11:53

into? Okay. Send us stimulus checks.

11:56

This is unbelievable. This like have we

11:58

learned nothing from the first cycle? I

12:00

guess not. Uh but another thing that

12:02

you'll find here from the uh Bank of

12:04

America piece that I found was

12:05

interesting was Bank of America says

12:07

that uh at least according to their

12:09

clients they are 61.7% exposed to

12:12

stocks. This means a lot of Americans

12:14

with wealth are really seeing a big hit

12:17

to their wealth right now. Now I know a

12:19

lot of people are like oh but Kevin if

12:22

you don't sell you haven't lost

12:24

anything. All right. Something we talk

12:26

about in the psychology of money

12:28

is if you sell, yes, you realize a loss.

12:33

It's a taxable event. But don't kid

12:35

yourself. When your account goes up in

12:37

value, you have access to more capital.

12:40

When your account goes down in value,

12:42

you have access to less capital. This

12:45

idea that, oh, you didn't lose anything

12:47

unless you sell. Oh, you don't want to

12:49

lock in your losses. That's just what

12:51

brokers and fund managers say to you. So

12:54

that way they don't have outflows out of

12:56

their funds. No broker, dealer, or fund

13:00

manager wants you to sell their fund

13:01

because they make fees, baby fees. Now,

13:05

Bank of America does suggest that, hey,

13:07

if you're sticking around for some buy

13:09

signals, take a look at this. For them

13:11

to get a bull bear signal that would

13:14

suggest buying, so a real level of fear

13:17

because for some reason their bull bear

13:19

scale is sitting at somewhere like a

13:20

4.8, 8 which is kind of wild or sorry

13:22

4.9 which seems kind of high but they

13:25

say they'd be looking as a buy signal as

13:27

a couple weeks of big equity outflows

13:28

totaling 100 billion or more that would

13:31

trigger a buy sale uh or or buy trigger

13:33

or 80 88% of global equity trading

13:37

indices trading below the 250day moving

13:41

average. Currently that level sits at

13:43

29%.

13:45

So, and that buy signal would first

13:48

require the hang uh the HK the Hong Kong

13:50

Hangen index and the German DAX to fall

13:53

to 20K. All right, here's the put call

13:56

ratio. We're at about uh 94 out of that

13:58

1.3. They've got some others here. I

14:00

don't think that these are necessarily

14:02

as useful, but they argue that the

14:05

biggest thing would be that would be

14:07

useful, which is similar to what

14:08

Deutsche Bank says, would be a pivot

14:10

away from tariffs towards tax cuts. And

14:14

listen to this. Aggressive increases in

14:17

the debt ceiling via the Congressional

14:20

Budget Reconciliation Bill. Well, if you

14:23

want to aggressively increase debt,

14:26

you're basically screaming stimulus over

14:28

here, too. Except you've got Deutsche

14:30

Bank actively calling for paychecks to

14:32

be sent to households because of

14:34

tariffs. We expect the impact of tariffs

14:36

will be somewhere around $2 to $3,000

14:38

per household per year. Uh, and Bank of

14:40

America is like, "Please take on

14:42

aggressive amounts, copious amounts of

14:45

more debt. Lather me up. This is a clown

14:49

show. It's day two and these massive

14:54

institutions can't handle it, man. I

14:58

don't know what the signal of this is to

15:00

come, but we'll be talking a lot about

15:02

it in the course member live streams.

15:03

Remember folks, go to houseack.com or

15:06

meet Kevin.com. houseack if you want to

15:08

look at potentially investing in house

15:10

hack and diversify away from that stock

15:13

market volatility getting a lot of

15:15

inflows here you get paid a monthly

15:18

check 5% per year so just so you know

15:20

how that works if you just to have easy

15:22

math here you invest $100,000 you're

15:25

getting a 5% yield divided by 12 that

15:28

gets you

15:29

$416 per month paid to you direct

15:32

deposit a whatever you want paid to you

15:37

until conversion. And the only way you

15:40

get converted to stock is if our

15:41

valuation goes up, otherwise you get

15:45

your money back. So check it out, learn

15:46

about it over at househack.com. You

15:49

could see uh what assets back our

15:51

company, large apartment buildings. I

15:53

mean, these are massive properties,

15:55

diversified single families, uh

15:57

properties that we've all touched and

16:00

remodeled and worked on. We review

16:01

everything here. We do ADU developments,

16:04

you name it. But there's a lot more

16:05

coming to what we're doing and uh get

16:07

excited about some of the announcements

16:09

that we have coming for Houseack. I

16:10

cannot wait. If you have questions,

16:12

email us at house hack.com. Thank you so

16:14

much for watching and we'll see you in

16:15

the next one. Goodbye everyone. Good

16:16

luck. Why not advertise these things

16:18

that you told us here? I feel like

16:20

nobody else knows about this. We'll

16:21

we'll try a little advertising and see

16:22

how it goes. Congratulations, man. You

16:24

have done so much. People love you.

16:26

People look up to you. Kevin Pra there,

16:28

financial analyst and YouTuber. Meet

16:30

Kevin. Always great to get your take.
