Epic Stock Market Disaster: The Soft or Hard Landing Recession.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
before we begin this video there are a
lot of comments about why when PPI
numbers are coming in negative with the
stock market suddenly sell down the
answer is actually very simple the
Federal Reserve will not lift the ugly
mask of countering inflation until they
have to because as soon as the Federal
Reserve comes out and says
inflation's down guess what everyone
does they spend money and all of a
sudden we re-inflate
the Federal Reserve must keep the hard
face on that does not mean a soft
Landing is not possible also doesn't
mean we're going to avoid a hard Landing
in fact some say the FED keeping the
hard face on will be the exact same
thing that happens the last fed cycle so
2021 the beginning of 2022 the Fed was
too late in responding to high inflation
now the FED might end up being too late
in responding to low inflation which
means they actually damage our economy
more than suspected so in case you see
good news on inflation in the near term
sold off in the stock market it's
entirely normal for this Market to react
to fears that the FED will actually over
tighten too long keeping the boot on our
neck and our face in the mud for so long
that we end up suffocating that is a
very real risk so as you watch this
video balance the fed's slowness in your
this is one of the most important videos
I believe you could watch on the
recession and which stocks to pay
attention to there's a lot of detail in
this don't worry I'll be breaking it
down and signposting some takeaways from
it which I think are very important keep
in mind the information in this video is
reiterated by Insane misses on producer
price inflation that came out this
morning revisions of Prior data that
bring producer price inflation lower and
retail sales numbers missing that's good
on one hand but it could be bad for that
earnings recession which we'll also be
talking about in this video very
detailed video buckle up and enjoy we
are arguably facing one of the most
predicted recessions of all time the
Wall Street Journal suggests 61 of
economists agree that we are going into
a recession yet Jerome Powell says we
have a 50 chance of a soft landing and
if the Federal Reserve thinks we have a
50 chance of a soft landing and a 50
chance of a recession
what is the data tell us well in this
video we're going to go through multiple
reports we're going to start with some
insights from what Morgan Stanley said
in their earnings call which could be
quite fascinating it's something that
really nobody's talking about then we'll
talk about Goldman Sachs expectations on
recession soft Landing versus hard
Landing what to expect for earnings and
stock predictions as well as which
stocks could do well and which might not
we'll also look at some brief analysis
by JPMorgan Bank of America we'll also
look at the Empire State manufacturing
data that oh boy there's some
interesting Insight regarding this and
what it has to tell us about inflation
data coming up next month as well as
that darn remaining risk for inflation
data that also few people are talking
about as well as consumer data let's get
into a very thorough report on what to
expect going forward the first thing
that we're going to do is we're going to
look at this incredible piece from
Morgan Stanley now this right here is an
earnings call from Morgan Stanley that
was just released within the last day or
so here since Morgan Stanley just
reported earnings and I personally
believe that one of the most important
leading indicators of economic data you
can look at are what executives are
saying in earnings calls now you have to
be careful this is really important you
have to be careful because earnings
calls on one hand are a sales pitch for
the company like please don't make our
stock go down on the other hand they can
give you leading information about
what's going on in the economy for
example in January of 2020 every single
earnings call I read talked about how
much pricing power companies thought
that they had and that gave me massive
concerns that we were about to face an
incredible inflationary a nightmare
which is exactly what we ended up facing
over the last year now though I'm
starting to see a little bit of a
turning point and this piece by Morgan
Stanley was incredible now generally
something that's worth you knowing is
every morning at 6 a.m Pacific time
before the Market opens I am starting
course member live streams and you're
welcome to get lifetime access to those
where we can talk q a and do analysis
together if you'd like just use the
coupon code link down below the prices
will be going up after January 30th so
get in before the next 12 days lock in
that pricing and you'll get three month
guaranteed best pricing and probably
honestly you'll have the best pricing
continuing on from there anyway but
we'll see anyway let's take a look at
these numbers here so Morgan Stanley
came out with the following first I want
to start on an ad that when it comes to
Investment Banking and the investment
banking pipeline what we're realizing is
a change that's happening in economic
Outlook that CEOs are actually having
conversations in boardrooms or that will
allow CEOs to have conversations in
boardrooms to have more confidence in
their economic Outlook
when it comes to Peak inflation and
potentially Clarity on what to do with
the company going forward so I'm gonna
paraphrase that a little bit here but
let me clear that up when Executives
make business decisions with other
Executives they reasonably would get
together and say look should we invest
should we buy a corporate jet for
example for the expansion plans for the
various business models that we have and
if we as a board think that well the
economy is going to be in a
substantially worse position why would
we ever buy a jet going into a
deteriorating economy well then
obviously a company might say you know
what we don't want to do that let's hold
off on large purchases let's reduce our
purchases and by reducing our purchases
what are we effectively doing we're
reducing GDP and we're contributing to a
recession right but if as Executives we
actually think that we might just be
going through a shallow correction a
short-term recession and essentially an
adjustment period where we go from high
inflation to slowly seeing low inflation
that inflation will taper off and we'll
go back to a boom economy then we might
say you know what buying a corporate jet
or making a large business investment
might actually make sense because now we
could strategically position ourselves
in a recession when other people are
fearful
and we take advantage of that
opportunity to expand right that's
basically what Morgan Stanley here is
saying in just an example here and what
I think is so fascinating is is what you
see here is the macro environment you
laid out is one where there is more
clarity on the economy and when we have
more clarity on the economy we get a
reduction in volatility and we get
better business making decisions from
companies or more clear business
decisions from companies that could
enable earnings growth as companies
actually start reinvesting in their
businesses rather than shrinking this is
actually really interesting because if
you look at the bank earnings in
aggregate almost all of them are
spending more money on Advertising now
what's remarkable about that is you've
got people like the CEO of JP Morgan
Jamie dimon saying things like ah we're
gonna face an economic hurricane on one
hand yet on the other hand the banks in
aggregate are advertising more than ever
before they're all painting this picture
of Doom and Gloom yet they're all kind
of like hey this ain't gonna last long
let's advertise and try to get more
clients it's kind of like what right so
the most predicted recession ever is
really starting to look like an
opportunity for a lot of businesses and
that's what we're starting to see in
early indicators from earnings calls
just coming out within the last 24 hours
take a look at this here's the CEO of
Morgan Stanley I'm highly confident that
when the FED pauses deal activity and
underwriting activity will go up I would
bet the I would bet the year on that in
fact CEOs the CEO's job is to drive
growth in their businesses and they do
that in two ways organic and inorganic
and I've been doing this for a long time
and I've done both the only tricky part
about inorganic once you've got your
strategy set is timing and sometimes you
got to ignore timing but the market is
really volatile behooving CEOs
particularly those relatively early in
their careers to be cautious uh and
that's what we're seeing however that
will change okay so the translations and
sometimes the transcriptions aren't
perfect so that's why sometimes the
wording is a little weird but basically
this CEO is saying look I've played this
game before and you've got a lot of
people who are cautious right now a lot
of CEOs in those boardrooms who are
cautious but based on what we're seeing
we think that's going to flip and we're
going to see an incredible bull flip
from corporations now who knows that
could be the wrong move but a lot of
people seem to be aligning with this
with their behavior not necessarily with
their warnings so on one hand you've got
a lot of Institutions and corporations
warning about tough times ahead and
tough macro ahead but Behavior wise
businesses are still investing like
crazy and they're trying to compete more
which is interesting because on one hand
the concern would be well what if that's
inflationary right what if that keeps
pushing up the inflation narrative but
on the other hand if inflation Falls and
businesses keep investing maybe you want
to look for companies to invest in where
businesses are planning for growth and
taking advantage of these recessionary
opportunities and Goldman Sachs actually
provides us a list of stocks that could
do well in a soft Landing scenario or a
hard Landing scenario now I'm going to
go through that list of stocks but first
what we're going to do is we're going to
break down what they think is more
likely do we think we're going to get a
soft Landing which is really no
recession or do we think we're going to
get a hard Landing which is a recession
or a deeper recession right let's take a
look at what their estimates are and
then we'll look at their stocks and what
the market is pricing in what the market
price is pricing in is actually pretty
critical first go Goldman Sachs sees a
little bit of a disconnect they see that
57 percent of their clients expect a
recession remember this is similar to
the 61 percent of economists expecting a
recession however Goldman Sachs has
actually become more optimistic they
actually think that a recession is no
longer necessary in order to tame
inflation and only 35 percent of their
economists actually expect a recession
that means the market might be a lot
more pessimistic than is actually
necessary to keep inflation down which
is a really good thing for markets and a
sign that may be the bottom of the
market is actually behind us worth
noting that Citigroup just this morning
reduced their odds of a recession from
50 percent to 30 percent so you're
seeing a lot of these recessionary odds
start falling but the yield curve is now
the most inverted that it has been since
1981. usually the yield curve indicates
we've definitely got a recession coming
up and generally the hard part about the
yield curve re-inverting is that when it
reinverts that's often when we see the
biggest stock market paying now TBD it's
entirely possible that this entire
recession is just caused by the federal
reserve's tithing and when their
tightening goes away the yield curve
balances back up and everything rallies
back to peace that's the Goldilocks
scenario
but we've got some head widths let's
talk about those after all Goldman Sachs
suggests that we might have an extended
period of below potential growth but
that period will help rebalance supply
and demand in the labor market and
dampen wage and price pressures with a
much more limited increase in the
unemployment rate than historically
would be implied in other words a less
deep recession now what's very
interesting about this is uh well they
make some additional commentary here
because we're going to get into stocks
in just a moment that they recommend but
they also suggest that supply chain
recovery finally appears to be yielding
to the deflationary payback which is
great on the services side which has
been pretty sticky services are expected
to take a little bit longer because of
the lag in wage growth slowing down but
they expect that to occur and they
actually expect that inflation is going
to plummet core PC inflation down to 2.9
in December 2020 3 and CPI down to three
percent in December of 2023. remember
folks there are a lot of people who
believe how are we going to go from six
and a half to two percent or three
percent that's insane that's a crazy
drop how's that going to happen remember
you have to always always remember that
inflation is a year-over-year comparison
and if you look at this particular
projection chart right here and
inflation is let's say here and you
compare to a higher period the year
before you have deflation right so
you're always comparing to a higher
Point well or a point in the year prior
to see what inflation is so really again
always remember this if a hamburger
costs a hundred dollars because
inflation is so bad the next year it
costs a hundred and ten dollars you add
10 inflation if the year after that it
costs 110 the burger still costs you 110
but what do you think inflation is
zero percent right that's what's pretty
cool about inflation and then that look
don't get me wrong there's nothing
really cool about inflation but I think
you know what I mean it's a nice thing
to know that even if prices don't come
down they just stabilize
you have zero percent inflation and so
even if they increase a little bit but
just not as much as the year before you
could get to two percent inflation you
just have to wait for that year over
year comparison and this is where
Goldman Sachs is projecting the
following in terms of percentages they
really see a massive plummet in
inflation personally I actually think
there's a likelihood that these charts
could end up going negative and we end
up seeing some quarters or periods of
deflation that'll be quite incredible
but before we talk about deflation we've
got to talk about what's priced in right
now for a soft or hard landing and that
we actually have right here from Goldman
Sachs so Goldman Sachs suggests there
are two stories when it comes to
understanding what the market is pricing
in Story number one is earnings per
share that is how much are earnings per
share expected to decline basically to
really simplify that for you if a
company is worth a hundred dollars
and there are 100 shares outstanding and
each share therefore is worth one dollar
and let's say those shares make about 10
cents
there we go per share we want to know
how much is that earnings per share set
going down because multiples attach
these right if a company's worth a
hundred dollars there are 100 shares
outstanding and each share is a buck and
earnings per share are 10 cents then the
company is selling for 10 times earnings
right but the problem is if earnings per
share go down and they get cut to eight
cents well now what do you have well if
you go down to there we go that's eight
cents you go down to eight cents and
you're still selling for 10 times
earnings now the Stock's actually not
worth a dollar it's only worth
80 cents right 10 times earnings that's
a 20 decline in the stock price that
would be bad and so that's why a lot of
people are wondering what's priced in
for an earnings per share decline well
Goldman Sachs tells us the following in
a sharp change from Trend last year when
earnings per share estimates were stable
S P 500 earnings revisions point to a
downside story in 2023 the three-month
trend of earnings per share revision
stands at negative 31 percent the most
negative reading outside the 2008 and
2020 recessions in other words
it's still not as bad as what we saw in
08 in 2020 but still pretty dang ugly
and you could see that charted right
here very bad very bad and oh God we've
priced in a lot of pain already now this
was not true about six months ago and no
surprise stocks have actually trended
lower because of that because we still
had to price in the earnings paying well
now what's happening now the earnings
recession points to a fall in earnings
per share of 11 S P 500 earnings to
about 200 bucks this is actually
slightly less severe than prior
recessions because Goldman Sachs
believes there are fewer imbalances in
the economy we don't have the crazy sort
of financial crisis that we did in 2008
knock on wood hopefully not but Goldman
Sachs says look 11 is already priced in
and Goldman Sachs actually thinks that
this EPS decline uh is pricing in a
pretty hard Landing in fact they think
that the EPS display decline in a hard
Landing scenario would be less than
previous scenarios of like an average of
13 and therefore
an 11 decline in s p earnings aligns
with a hard Landing scenario so in other
words
simple English Markets are pricing in
when it comes to earnings per share a
hard Landing already for earnings per
share
however when it comes to margins and
this is tricky okay this gets tricky
when it comes to margins this gets a
little harder we're going to jump on
over to this projection here
our forecast is that margins will
decline in all sectors under both the
Baseline and recession scenarios
and unfortunately markets have not fully
priced in a margin contraction yet
instead
markets are only pricing in a 26 basis
point decline
but they believe that in a soft Landing
we're going to see a 58 basis point
Decline and in a hard Landing 125 basis
point decline now let's take a pause
from that for a moment because it's
pretty dang tricky all the information
they just gave us they're basically
telling us the following look
we think markets have already priced in
bad news that earnings per share are
going to go down
but the place where the market isn't
really realizing the pain yet and fully
realizing pain fully pricing it in is in
margins that basically means if you sell
a product for 100 bucks and it costs you
seventy dollars to make it you have a
thirty percent uh gross profit margin
right thirty percent 30 cents left over
in that example 30 bucks 100 minus 70 30
bucks left over
well if that gets squeezed because costs
remain high or you have to reduce the
price like let's say you reduce the
price to 90 bucks and your costs go up
to 75. now you're only making 15 bucks
that's half of what you were making
before now some say well margin
compression is already recognized or
realized in the earnings compression
right so maybe you don't have to worry
about that so much
but my take away from this is that
either way let's ignore Goldman's
analysis for just a moment given that
they suggest hey we're pricing in a hard
landing on EPS but maybe we haven't
fully priced in all the pain from margin
compression
I kind of merged these together and I
think to myself the stock market's
already got quite a bit of pain priced
into it now for earnings and margin
maybe a little bit more than necessary
maybe a little bit less than necessary
but I think the Practical bottom line
here is the stock market's already
primed for a hellish earnings season and
that could lead to positivity and
optimism after we actually get earnings
now we don't want to play a game of
hopium right that's a problem but
Goldman Sachs does give us a list of
stocks that would benefit in either of
the scenarios so here's the soft Landing
portfolio that Goldman Sachs think
thinks will do very well their first
stock that they think will do the best
Tesla
a stock with in my opinion High pricing
power even in the face of price Cuts
because of their margins
but anyway here are just some of the
names you can pause on the screen here
to see them but they see Tesla Garmin
Mohawk Industries top build Pinnacle CME
Group Synchrony Financial uh and you can
continue on here 3M AMD Qualcomm Trimble
software company here uh you know Vulcan
Materials whatever these are are some of
the soft Landing stocks that they
believe in and when it comes to hard
Landing stocks this changes
substantially they focus instead on
companies like Activision Blizzard and
EA I was actually surprised that they
included Home Depot and Lowe's since I
think in a real estate crisis as we're
seeing home prices come down which would
just be worse in a hard Landing scenario
I think people are going to spend less
on their homes so I think Lowe's and
Home Depot won't actually do very well
but okay this is their take Best Buy
Costco Kroger Tyson Food Pfizer
Microsoft Visa Mastercard into a
paychecks block a lot of Staples in here
right so this should be pretty clear but
in the hard Landing scenario you
probably want to invest in things that
are more value focused or more focused
on things that people have to use anyway
like people are going to be going to
Costco no matter what whereas maybe you
have a little bit more of a consumer
just discretionary push in the soft
Landing scenario right
the good news is that Goldman Sachs
believes this is a nice little bottom
line for the Goldman Sachs part Goldman
Sachs believes there's a significant
amount of pricing in already of earnings
per share pain
maybe not fully yet on margin
compression so be careful in how you
choose stocks and this is actually where
I personally like to look at companies
and go okay which companies do I think
are going to survive best in margin
compression and earnings compression
personally I think those are pricing
power stocks and I think it makes sense
to look for stocks that have pricing
power either by looking at actively
managed ETFs exchange traded funds those
are great because of the tax benefits of
ETFs being able to rebalance and trade
stocks within the portfolio without
passing on capital gains to you amazing
tax hack and I love pricing power ETFs
because of that hack
or look for individual companies that
you think have the most resilience for
EPS declines or margin declines okay
things to pay attention to now something
else that we want to pay attention to is
JP Morgan and Bank of America what are
they projecting well JPMorgan gives us
some fascinating insights about the
economic environment for 2023 and they
also hedge by saying look
there's a real possibility that 2023
could be worse than the environment was
in 2022
however given that we actually don't
believe that things are as bad so far
as they have been in the past in other
words even though they are increasing
their loan loss reserves they're nowhere
near the loan loss Reserves pre-pandemic
not only that but take a look at some of
these spending numbers here combined
debit and credit card spend up nine
percent year-over-year both
discretionary and non-discretionary
spend up year over year strongest growth
in discretionary being travel retail
spend up four percent that's that's
comparing to a really really strong 2021
retail spend is still up over last year
e-commerce spent up seven percent now
yes obviously inflation's up like seven
percent right so the real numbers are
like flat to negative but the fact that
it's even flat to negative compared to
the insane spending we saw last year is
really really good like this is
incredible and JP Morgan says that
consumer cash buffers for the lower
income segments are expected to be back
at pre-pandemic Levels by the third
quarter of 2023 in other words
JP Morgan thinks people still have cash
buffers going into the first quarter of
2023 that's insane
so on top of that delinquency rates for
credit cards are at 80 percent of
pre-pandemic levels
think about this for a moment I I know
there's a lot of information in this
video and that's why I like to sign post
what I think is going on here but put
this together for a moment Morgan
Stanley is quote not planning for a dark
period ahead Morgan Stanley says quote a
lot of money is sitting around waiting
to be put to work when the FED starts
cutting a lot of people excited to
invest boardroom talk about maybe people
are going to start going bullish again
Goldman Sachs going maybe we don't have
everything priced in but we're already
pricing in some pain for stocks and
maybe there won't be a recession JP
Morgan and Banks advertising more than
ever before and JPMorgan telling you
look things
things are actually still building
or at least flat compared to 2021 it's
actually not that bad I mean even flat
growth compared to 21 ain't that bad
and delinquency rates being lower than
before this is all kind of lining up for
not such a horrible situation now you've
got to keep your job though and this is
where some estimates aren't that great
JPMorgan for example thinks that we're
going to get to a peak of 4.9
unemployment rate the FED thinks we're
actually going to Peak out at 4.5 so
that means JPMorgan does see
unemployment going higher which will be
bad for the people who get laid off and
Bank of America still sees a mild
recession coming
but is also reducing how bad they think
it's going to be though they still think
5.1 percent unemployment so even Bank of
America is like higher unemployment than
the FED thinks but less bad than we've
previously thought so
you are actually starting to see
forecasts from Bank of America JP Morgan
Goldman Sachs pricing less of a
recession risk and they're starting to
soften on some of their their approaches
because data is coming in soft and
they're like wow maybe we can actually
get inflation down without a recession
maybe the soft Landing is possible I
mean look at this these are delinquency
rates on credit cards
yes yes folks delinquency rates on
credit cards are up but compare them to
what they were before the pandemic if
anything they're basically at like 2014
and 15 levels
but again yeah it's trending up so we
want to pay attention to it household
Debt Service payments which includes
mortgage payments basically at or below
historic Norms if you don't look at the
uh mortgage payments and you just look
at Consumer Debt yeah we're starting to
move up a little bit on Consumer Debt
you can see that right here we're kind
of sitting at those levels that we were
at 2018 and 2019 so yeah okay Consumer
Debt payments are up again things we
want to pay attention to but even JP
Morgan tells us people got a lot of cash
sure there are still risks for inflation
one of the big risks for inflation for
example is Hospital related services in
medical related Services because
remember the three pieces of inflation
that seem to be inflecting down we have
one which is called Goods inflation
Goods inflation already plummeting
number two housing inflation which has
been really really sticky and we and we
know that housing rent of shelter rent
of primary residents make up huge
weights of CPI over 32 percent right
and then we have wage inflation which in
part comes from hospital and medical
related services medical related
Services make up a six point almost
eight percent weight when it comes to
inflation and what do you have here well
you have sudden jumps again in the
inflationary numbers for Hospital
related Services now that could be as
The Economist puts it because of well
basically High medical related uh demand
because more people are getting sick
whether it's with covid or the RSV flu
that's going around or whatever here's
for example a piece where an England
average wait times for ambulance
response times jumping from 20 minutes
pre-pandemic for category 2 incidents
which are like heart attacks and strokes
up to 90 minute average response times
this is putting a lot of pressure on
hospitals around the world although
America is doing better average Hospital
occupancy rates recently exceeded eighty
percent for the first time so you're
seeing a lot of Demand on Hospital
services that could push up inflation
but that's like the last piece of the
puzzle that we're seeing is housing and
Hospital inflation that needs to come
down so far otherwise everything's
plummeting look at for example the New
York Empire State manufacturing survey
business activity continued to contract
sharply in the New York state area now
of course this is just the New York
state area but it is it is a frequently
tracked survey and something that tends
to be a leading indicator for the rest
of the country and for inflationary
statistics usually when the Empire State
manufacturing survey starts plummeting
inflation starts plummeting and look at
some of these numbers
headline General business conditions
index fell to negative 32.9 new orders
and shipments declined substantially
fifth month in a row of Falls delivery
times held steady inventories etched
higher employment growth stalled average
work week shortened input price
increases slowed considerably selling
price increases moderated so less
inflation right
so
this is like an insane amount of data
that that you've just gotten I am a data
nut and these are the kinds of things
that I like to teach in my courses on
building your wealth is how to get this
sort of data how to analyze this sort of
data how to learn and build your wealth
using logic right whether that's in
stocks deep fundamental analysis whether
that's in real estate wedge deals buying
properties below market value whether
that's in property management or being a
YouTuber or being an agent right of
course is on all of this or increasing
your income on negotiating check those
out by the link down below
but how do we put all of this together
because again I realize this is like oh
my gosh Kevin this is so much
information
I think all of this information is very
clearly pointing in One Direction it's
saying that look recession or not
maybe things aren't
going to be as bad as everybody thinks
maybe stocks are already pricing in a
good reduction for earnings yeah some
companies might get hit with margins and
maybe that's actually a risk to the
indices maybe that's a risk to the S P
500 and instead of being an index-based
investor maybe now makes the sense or it
makes the most sense to start picking
individual stocks that you think have
the most pricing power now look yeah I'm
a licensed financial advisor I run an
actively managed ETF I sell programs on
building your wealth I just want to be
clear when I talk about these stock
recommendations Goldman's talking about
or some suggestions I'm not giving you
personal financial advice right but from
a financial point of view
there's some potential optimistic moves
you can make here
you don't want to play hopium you know
YOLO call options not an investing
strategy but put the piece of the puzzle
together here
leading inflation data Empire
manufacturing reports isms Morgan
Stanley boardroom talk Bank advertising
spending Goldman Sachs expectations
Economist expectations for a recession
JP Morgan and Bank of America
optimistic outlooks while reducing their
negative outlooks
the leftover inflationary risks being
relatively nominal health care but
expected based on at least talk from The
Economist to wane in the coming months
especially as we get out of the winter
season and flu season
credit card Trends debt spends consumer
spending Trends consumer excess cash
balances while declining still present
per JP Morgan
when you put all of this together
it all points to One Direction and I
want to be super clear about that
because again I know this is a lot of
information
but look if this is a baseline right
here let's draw that a little later if
this is a baseline right here
all of the stuff that I'm talking about
so far
start looking like or starts to look
like a lot of green shoots now you want
to be careful right we don't want to be
in a situation where we're getting
overly optimistic
but uh frankly I'm looking for the bad
news out of all of these reports and the
only piece of bad news I saw in all of
this
was margin
that's it margin for companies margin
compression
that's it
so that is a risk but again look for
companies that have insulation here
otherwise again everything we've looked
at odds of recession consumer data
inflation data leading isms
manufacturing reports uh EPS Corrections
already priced in boardroom talk
personally
I think it makes sense to start
considering the possibility
that we may either be at bottom
or the bottom may already be behind us
might be time to start thinking about
deploying more cash rather than less
again not personalized Financial advice
for you but these are very very
different indicators from what we saw in
January of 2022 very very different in
January of 2022 this was flipped it was
mostly down arrows compared to up arrows
ah
now the last thing I have to say is I
would love to meet you in person and I'm
considering doing local events in cities
across the continental United States
basically anywhere I could fly to I'm
thinking about doing Fridays era maybe
maybe Friday events I'm not sure let me
know in the comments down below if you
consider a Friday event but basically
I'm thinking about doing uh events where
I teach real estate wedge deals and and
we get to do a Meetup and Q a and stuff
like that from somewhere probably around
like 10 30 or 11 in the morning to five
uh and we do basically some kind of
event at a hotel conference room or
whatever if that's something you're
interested in let me know in the
comments down below if you want to fly
with me privately and Shadow me as we
explore real estate you could do that as
well via the link down below now when it
comes to the bottom line you've got to
ask yourself do you believe that this
potential recession will go away when
the Federal Reserve flip-flops if the
Federal Reserve flip-flops you probably
want to be long on the market because
there's a chance the market will bottom
well before earnings bottom which is
historically true historically the stock
market bottoms three to six months
before the bottom in earnings
and you typically might expect that if
the FED starts reducing rates the
Market's already priced in those fed
actions and therefore you don't want to
wait for that to occur and instead you
want to be in the market before that fed
flip-flop so to speak however
historically the inverting of the or the
re-inverting of the yield curve so to
speak that is it's inverted so the
steepening of the yield curve
can be quite painful also often and
historically the stock market doesn't
actually bottom before the FED u-turns
so that would require a lot of hope that
this time is different and basically if
you're investing right now you're saying
you think all these positive signals
mean the fed's going to stop and the FED
is the only reason we're facing a
recession
and If the Fed Catalyst goes away we can
go back to a happy Market
if there are truly structural and
underlying issues that you believe exist
in the economy to where even if the FED
nightmare goes away and the FED stops
talking we're still facing those
structural issues they probably don't
want to be invested in the market
I personally am a fan of believing that
the only reason we have pain right now
is the Federal Reserve who's trying to
fight inflation and if inflation goes
away then the pain of the FED tightening
goes away
and we're back to a continuation
of 2019 which should be relatively
positive
