before we begin this video there are a

0:02

lot of comments about why when PPI

0:05

numbers are coming in negative with the

0:08

stock market suddenly sell down the

0:11

answer is actually very simple the

0:14

Federal Reserve will not lift the ugly

0:18

mask of countering inflation until they

0:22

have to because as soon as the Federal

0:24

Reserve comes out and says

0:27

inflation's down guess what everyone

0:30

does they spend money and all of a

0:33

sudden we re-inflate

0:35

the Federal Reserve must keep the hard

0:38

face on that does not mean a soft

0:41

Landing is not possible also doesn't

0:43

mean we're going to avoid a hard Landing

0:45

in fact some say the FED keeping the

0:48

hard face on will be the exact same

0:51

thing that happens the last fed cycle so

0:54

2021 the beginning of 2022 the Fed was

0:58

too late in responding to high inflation

1:01

now the FED might end up being too late

1:05

in responding to low inflation which

1:08

means they actually damage our economy

1:10

more than suspected so in case you see

1:14

good news on inflation in the near term

1:16

sold off in the stock market it's

1:19

entirely normal for this Market to react

1:22

to fears that the FED will actually over

1:26

tighten too long keeping the boot on our

1:29

neck and our face in the mud for so long

1:32

that we end up suffocating that is a

1:35

very real risk so as you watch this

1:38

video balance the fed's slowness in your

1:43

this is one of the most important videos

1:45

I believe you could watch on the

1:47

recession and which stocks to pay

1:49

attention to there's a lot of detail in

1:51

this don't worry I'll be breaking it

1:53

down and signposting some takeaways from

1:55

it which I think are very important keep

1:57

in mind the information in this video is

2:01

reiterated by Insane misses on producer

2:06

price inflation that came out this

2:08

morning revisions of Prior data that

2:11

bring producer price inflation lower and

2:14

retail sales numbers missing that's good

2:18

on one hand but it could be bad for that

2:21

earnings recession which we'll also be

2:23

talking about in this video very

2:26

detailed video buckle up and enjoy we

2:29

are arguably facing one of the most

2:31

predicted recessions of all time the

2:34

Wall Street Journal suggests 61 of

2:37

economists agree that we are going into

2:40

a recession yet Jerome Powell says we

2:43

have a 50 chance of a soft landing and

2:47

if the Federal Reserve thinks we have a

2:49

50 chance of a soft landing and a 50

2:52

chance of a recession

2:54

what is the data tell us well in this

2:58

video we're going to go through multiple

2:59

reports we're going to start with some

3:01

insights from what Morgan Stanley said

3:03

in their earnings call which could be

3:06

quite fascinating it's something that

3:08

really nobody's talking about then we'll

3:10

talk about Goldman Sachs expectations on

3:13

recession soft Landing versus hard

3:16

Landing what to expect for earnings and

3:21

stock predictions as well as which

3:23

stocks could do well and which might not

3:25

we'll also look at some brief analysis

3:28

by JPMorgan Bank of America we'll also

3:31

look at the Empire State manufacturing

3:33

data that oh boy there's some

3:36

interesting Insight regarding this and

3:38

what it has to tell us about inflation

3:41

data coming up next month as well as

3:45

that darn remaining risk for inflation

3:48

data that also few people are talking

3:50

about as well as consumer data let's get

3:53

into a very thorough report on what to

3:56

expect going forward the first thing

3:59

that we're going to do is we're going to

4:00

look at this incredible piece from

4:02

Morgan Stanley now this right here is an

4:05

earnings call from Morgan Stanley that

4:07

was just released within the last day or

4:09

so here since Morgan Stanley just

4:11

reported earnings and I personally

4:13

believe that one of the most important

4:15

leading indicators of economic data you

4:19

can look at are what executives are

4:22

saying in earnings calls now you have to

4:25

be careful this is really important you

4:27

have to be careful because earnings

4:29

calls on one hand are a sales pitch for

4:32

the company like please don't make our

4:33

stock go down on the other hand they can

4:36

give you leading information about

4:39

what's going on in the economy for

4:41

example in January of 2020 every single

4:44

earnings call I read talked about how

4:46

much pricing power companies thought

4:48

that they had and that gave me massive

4:51

concerns that we were about to face an

4:53

incredible inflationary a nightmare

4:55

which is exactly what we ended up facing

4:57

over the last year now though I'm

5:00

starting to see a little bit of a

5:01

turning point and this piece by Morgan

5:03

Stanley was incredible now generally

5:05

something that's worth you knowing is

5:07

every morning at 6 a.m Pacific time

5:10

before the Market opens I am starting

5:13

course member live streams and you're

5:15

welcome to get lifetime access to those

5:17

where we can talk q a and do analysis

5:19

together if you'd like just use the

5:21

coupon code link down below the prices

5:23

will be going up after January 30th so

5:26

get in before the next 12 days lock in

5:30

that pricing and you'll get three month

5:31

guaranteed best pricing and probably

5:34

honestly you'll have the best pricing

5:35

continuing on from there anyway but

5:37

we'll see anyway let's take a look at

5:40

these numbers here so Morgan Stanley

5:42

came out with the following first I want

5:46

to start on an ad that when it comes to

5:49

Investment Banking and the investment

5:51

banking pipeline what we're realizing is

5:55

a change that's happening in economic

5:58

Outlook that CEOs are actually having

6:01

conversations in boardrooms or that will

6:04

allow CEOs to have conversations in

6:06

boardrooms to have more confidence in

6:10

their economic Outlook

6:12

when it comes to Peak inflation and

6:16

potentially Clarity on what to do with

6:19

the company going forward so I'm gonna

6:21

paraphrase that a little bit here but

6:23

let me clear that up when Executives

6:27

make business decisions with other

6:29

Executives they reasonably would get

6:32

together and say look should we invest

6:35

should we buy a corporate jet for

6:38

example for the expansion plans for the

6:41

various business models that we have and

6:43

if we as a board think that well the

6:47

economy is going to be in a

6:48

substantially worse position why would

6:49

we ever buy a jet going into a

6:53

deteriorating economy well then

6:55

obviously a company might say you know

6:57

what we don't want to do that let's hold

6:59

off on large purchases let's reduce our

7:02

purchases and by reducing our purchases

7:04

what are we effectively doing we're

7:05

reducing GDP and we're contributing to a

7:07

recession right but if as Executives we

7:11

actually think that we might just be

7:13

going through a shallow correction a

7:15

short-term recession and essentially an

7:18

adjustment period where we go from high

7:20

inflation to slowly seeing low inflation

7:22

that inflation will taper off and we'll

7:24

go back to a boom economy then we might

7:26

say you know what buying a corporate jet

7:28

or making a large business investment

7:30

might actually make sense because now we

7:32

could strategically position ourselves

7:34

in a recession when other people are

7:36

fearful

7:37

and we take advantage of that

7:39

opportunity to expand right that's

7:42

basically what Morgan Stanley here is

7:43

saying in just an example here and what

7:46

I think is so fascinating is is what you

7:48

see here is the macro environment you

7:51

laid out is one where there is more

7:54

clarity on the economy and when we have

7:57

more clarity on the economy we get a

8:00

reduction in volatility and we get

8:03

better business making decisions from

8:05

companies or more clear business

8:06

decisions from companies that could

8:09

enable earnings growth as companies

8:13

actually start reinvesting in their

8:15

businesses rather than shrinking this is

8:18

actually really interesting because if

8:19

you look at the bank earnings in

8:21

aggregate almost all of them are

8:23

spending more money on Advertising now

8:26

what's remarkable about that is you've

8:28

got people like the CEO of JP Morgan

8:31

Jamie dimon saying things like ah we're

8:33

gonna face an economic hurricane on one

8:36

hand yet on the other hand the banks in

8:38

aggregate are advertising more than ever

8:40

before they're all painting this picture

8:43

of Doom and Gloom yet they're all kind

8:45

of like hey this ain't gonna last long

8:47

let's advertise and try to get more

8:48

clients it's kind of like what right so

8:52

the most predicted recession ever is

8:54

really starting to look like an

8:56

opportunity for a lot of businesses and

8:59

that's what we're starting to see in

9:01

early indicators from earnings calls

9:03

just coming out within the last 24 hours

9:05

take a look at this here's the CEO of

9:09

Morgan Stanley I'm highly confident that

9:11

when the FED pauses deal activity and

9:14

underwriting activity will go up I would

9:17

bet the I would bet the year on that in

9:22

fact CEOs the CEO's job is to drive

9:24

growth in their businesses and they do

9:27

that in two ways organic and inorganic

9:29

and I've been doing this for a long time

9:31

and I've done both the only tricky part

9:33

about inorganic once you've got your

9:35

strategy set is timing and sometimes you

9:38

got to ignore timing but the market is

9:41

really volatile behooving CEOs

9:43

particularly those relatively early in

9:45

their careers to be cautious uh and

9:48

that's what we're seeing however that

9:50

will change okay so the translations and

9:52

sometimes the transcriptions aren't

9:54

perfect so that's why sometimes the

9:55

wording is a little weird but basically

9:58

this CEO is saying look I've played this

10:01

game before and you've got a lot of

10:03

people who are cautious right now a lot

10:05

of CEOs in those boardrooms who are

10:07

cautious but based on what we're seeing

10:09

we think that's going to flip and we're

10:12

going to see an incredible bull flip

10:14

from corporations now who knows that

10:18

could be the wrong move but a lot of

10:22

people seem to be aligning with this

10:24

with their behavior not necessarily with

10:27

their warnings so on one hand you've got

10:29

a lot of Institutions and corporations

10:31

warning about tough times ahead and

10:33

tough macro ahead but Behavior wise

10:35

businesses are still investing like

10:37

crazy and they're trying to compete more

10:40

which is interesting because on one hand

10:42

the concern would be well what if that's

10:44

inflationary right what if that keeps

10:46

pushing up the inflation narrative but

10:48

on the other hand if inflation Falls and

10:49

businesses keep investing maybe you want

10:51

to look for companies to invest in where

10:54

businesses are planning for growth and

10:57

taking advantage of these recessionary

10:59

opportunities and Goldman Sachs actually

11:01

provides us a list of stocks that could

11:04

do well in a soft Landing scenario or a

11:09

hard Landing scenario now I'm going to

11:11

go through that list of stocks but first

11:12

what we're going to do is we're going to

11:14

break down what they think is more

11:16

likely do we think we're going to get a

11:18

soft Landing which is really no

11:20

recession or do we think we're going to

11:23

get a hard Landing which is a recession

11:25

or a deeper recession right let's take a

11:28

look at what their estimates are and

11:30

then we'll look at their stocks and what

11:32

the market is pricing in what the market

11:34

price is pricing in is actually pretty

11:36

critical first go Goldman Sachs sees a

11:38

little bit of a disconnect they see that

11:40

57 percent of their clients expect a

11:43

recession remember this is similar to

11:45

the 61 percent of economists expecting a

11:47

recession however Goldman Sachs has

11:49

actually become more optimistic they

11:52

actually think that a recession is no

11:54

longer necessary in order to tame

11:55

inflation and only 35 percent of their

11:58

economists actually expect a recession

12:00

that means the market might be a lot

12:02

more pessimistic than is actually

12:04

necessary to keep inflation down which

12:08

is a really good thing for markets and a

12:11

sign that may be the bottom of the

12:12

market is actually behind us worth

12:15

noting that Citigroup just this morning

12:17

reduced their odds of a recession from

12:20

50 percent to 30 percent so you're

12:23

seeing a lot of these recessionary odds

12:25

start falling but the yield curve is now

12:29

the most inverted that it has been since

12:32

1981. usually the yield curve indicates

12:35

we've definitely got a recession coming

12:38

up and generally the hard part about the

12:40

yield curve re-inverting is that when it

12:43

reinverts that's often when we see the

12:46

biggest stock market paying now TBD it's

12:49

entirely possible that this entire

12:51

recession is just caused by the federal

12:53

reserve's tithing and when their

12:55

tightening goes away the yield curve

12:57

balances back up and everything rallies

12:59

back to peace that's the Goldilocks

13:02

scenario

13:03

but we've got some head widths let's

13:06

talk about those after all Goldman Sachs

13:09

suggests that we might have an extended

13:12

period of below potential growth but

13:15

that period will help rebalance supply

13:18

and demand in the labor market and

13:20

dampen wage and price pressures with a

13:23

much more limited increase in the

13:25

unemployment rate than historically

13:27

would be implied in other words a less

13:30

deep recession now what's very

13:33

interesting about this is uh well they

13:35

make some additional commentary here

13:37

because we're going to get into stocks

13:38

in just a moment that they recommend but

13:40

they also suggest that supply chain

13:41

recovery finally appears to be yielding

13:43

to the deflationary payback which is

13:45

great on the services side which has

13:47

been pretty sticky services are expected

13:50

to take a little bit longer because of

13:52

the lag in wage growth slowing down but

13:55

they expect that to occur and they

13:57

actually expect that inflation is going

13:59

to plummet core PC inflation down to 2.9

14:02

in December 2020 3 and CPI down to three

14:06

percent in December of 2023. remember

14:08

folks there are a lot of people who

14:10

believe how are we going to go from six

14:12

and a half to two percent or three

14:14

percent that's insane that's a crazy

14:16

drop how's that going to happen remember

14:18

you have to always always remember that

14:22

inflation is a year-over-year comparison

14:24

and if you look at this particular

14:26

projection chart right here and

14:29

inflation is let's say here and you

14:31

compare to a higher period the year

14:33

before you have deflation right so

14:36

you're always comparing to a higher

14:39

Point well or a point in the year prior

14:42

to see what inflation is so really again

14:45

always remember this if a hamburger

14:47

costs a hundred dollars because

14:49

inflation is so bad the next year it

14:51

costs a hundred and ten dollars you add

14:53

10 inflation if the year after that it

14:57

costs 110 the burger still costs you 110

15:00

but what do you think inflation is

15:02

zero percent right that's what's pretty

15:05

cool about inflation and then that look

15:07

don't get me wrong there's nothing

15:08

really cool about inflation but I think

15:10

you know what I mean it's a nice thing

15:13

to know that even if prices don't come

15:15

down they just stabilize

15:17

you have zero percent inflation and so

15:20

even if they increase a little bit but

15:21

just not as much as the year before you

15:23

could get to two percent inflation you

15:24

just have to wait for that year over

15:25

year comparison and this is where

15:27

Goldman Sachs is projecting the

15:29

following in terms of percentages they

15:31

really see a massive plummet in

15:33

inflation personally I actually think

15:36

there's a likelihood that these charts

15:37

could end up going negative and we end

15:40

up seeing some quarters or periods of

15:42

deflation that'll be quite incredible

15:44

but before we talk about deflation we've

15:48

got to talk about what's priced in right

15:50

now for a soft or hard landing and that

15:53

we actually have right here from Goldman

15:55

Sachs so Goldman Sachs suggests there

15:57

are two stories when it comes to

16:00

understanding what the market is pricing

16:01

in Story number one is earnings per

16:05

share that is how much are earnings per

16:07

share expected to decline basically to

16:12

really simplify that for you if a

16:14

company is worth a hundred dollars

16:17

and there are 100 shares outstanding and

16:23

each share therefore is worth one dollar

16:26

and let's say those shares make about 10

16:32

cents

16:33

there we go per share we want to know

16:36

how much is that earnings per share set

16:39

going down because multiples attach

16:42

these right if a company's worth a

16:44

hundred dollars there are 100 shares

16:45

outstanding and each share is a buck and

16:48

earnings per share are 10 cents then the

16:51

company is selling for 10 times earnings

16:53

right but the problem is if earnings per

16:55

share go down and they get cut to eight

16:58

cents well now what do you have well if

17:02

you go down to there we go that's eight

17:03

cents you go down to eight cents and

17:05

you're still selling for 10 times

17:06

earnings now the Stock's actually not

17:09

worth a dollar it's only worth

17:12

80 cents right 10 times earnings that's

17:16

a 20 decline in the stock price that

17:19

would be bad and so that's why a lot of

17:21

people are wondering what's priced in

17:23

for an earnings per share decline well

17:25

Goldman Sachs tells us the following in

17:28

a sharp change from Trend last year when

17:30

earnings per share estimates were stable

17:32

S P 500 earnings revisions point to a

17:36

downside story in 2023 the three-month

17:39

trend of earnings per share revision

17:40

stands at negative 31 percent the most

17:44

negative reading outside the 2008 and

17:47

2020 recessions in other words

17:50

it's still not as bad as what we saw in

17:52

08 in 2020 but still pretty dang ugly

17:55

and you could see that charted right

17:57

here very bad very bad and oh God we've

18:01

priced in a lot of pain already now this

18:03

was not true about six months ago and no

18:05

surprise stocks have actually trended

18:06

lower because of that because we still

18:08

had to price in the earnings paying well

18:11

now what's happening now the earnings

18:13

recession points to a fall in earnings

18:15

per share of 11 S P 500 earnings to

18:19

about 200 bucks this is actually

18:22

slightly less severe than prior

18:24

recessions because Goldman Sachs

18:26

believes there are fewer imbalances in

18:28

the economy we don't have the crazy sort

18:31

of financial crisis that we did in 2008

18:33

knock on wood hopefully not but Goldman

18:35

Sachs says look 11 is already priced in

18:38

and Goldman Sachs actually thinks that

18:41

this EPS decline uh is pricing in a

18:46

pretty hard Landing in fact they think

18:48

that the EPS display decline in a hard

18:51

Landing scenario would be less than

18:54

previous scenarios of like an average of

18:56

13 and therefore

18:58

an 11 decline in s p earnings aligns

19:03

with a hard Landing scenario so in other

19:05

words

19:06

simple English Markets are pricing in

19:09

when it comes to earnings per share a

19:12

hard Landing already for earnings per

19:15

share

19:16

however when it comes to margins and

19:20

this is tricky okay this gets tricky

19:22

when it comes to margins this gets a

19:26

little harder we're going to jump on

19:28

over to this projection here

19:31

our forecast is that margins will

19:34

decline in all sectors under both the

19:38

Baseline and recession scenarios

19:40

and unfortunately markets have not fully

19:43

priced in a margin contraction yet

19:46

instead

19:48

markets are only pricing in a 26 basis

19:52

point decline

19:54

but they believe that in a soft Landing

19:56

we're going to see a 58 basis point

19:58

Decline and in a hard Landing 125 basis

20:02

point decline now let's take a pause

20:06

from that for a moment because it's

20:07

pretty dang tricky all the information

20:09

they just gave us they're basically

20:11

telling us the following look

20:14

we think markets have already priced in

20:17

bad news that earnings per share are

20:20

going to go down

20:23

but the place where the market isn't

20:26

really realizing the pain yet and fully

20:29

realizing pain fully pricing it in is in

20:31

margins that basically means if you sell

20:34

a product for 100 bucks and it costs you

20:36

seventy dollars to make it you have a

20:38

thirty percent uh gross profit margin

20:41

right thirty percent 30 cents left over

20:43

in that example 30 bucks 100 minus 70 30

20:46

bucks left over

20:47

well if that gets squeezed because costs

20:49

remain high or you have to reduce the

20:51

price like let's say you reduce the

20:52

price to 90 bucks and your costs go up

20:55

to 75. now you're only making 15 bucks

20:58

that's half of what you were making

21:00

before now some say well margin

21:03

compression is already recognized or

21:06

realized in the earnings compression

21:08

right so maybe you don't have to worry

21:11

about that so much

21:12

but my take away from this is that

21:15

either way let's ignore Goldman's

21:19

analysis for just a moment given that

21:21

they suggest hey we're pricing in a hard

21:23

landing on EPS but maybe we haven't

21:25

fully priced in all the pain from margin

21:27

compression

21:28

I kind of merged these together and I

21:30

think to myself the stock market's

21:33

already got quite a bit of pain priced

21:35

into it now for earnings and margin

21:39

maybe a little bit more than necessary

21:41

maybe a little bit less than necessary

21:45

but I think the Practical bottom line

21:47

here is the stock market's already

21:50

primed for a hellish earnings season and

21:54

that could lead to positivity and

21:57

optimism after we actually get earnings

22:00

now we don't want to play a game of

22:02

hopium right that's a problem but

22:04

Goldman Sachs does give us a list of

22:07

stocks that would benefit in either of

22:09

the scenarios so here's the soft Landing

22:13

portfolio that Goldman Sachs think

22:16

thinks will do very well their first

22:19

stock that they think will do the best

22:20

Tesla

22:22

a stock with in my opinion High pricing

22:25

power even in the face of price Cuts

22:28

because of their margins

22:31

but anyway here are just some of the

22:33

names you can pause on the screen here

22:35

to see them but they see Tesla Garmin

22:37

Mohawk Industries top build Pinnacle CME

22:41

Group Synchrony Financial uh and you can

22:44

continue on here 3M AMD Qualcomm Trimble

22:48

software company here uh you know Vulcan

22:52

Materials whatever these are are some of

22:54

the soft Landing stocks that they

22:55

believe in and when it comes to hard

22:58

Landing stocks this changes

23:00

substantially they focus instead on

23:03

companies like Activision Blizzard and

23:05

EA I was actually surprised that they

23:08

included Home Depot and Lowe's since I

23:10

think in a real estate crisis as we're

23:13

seeing home prices come down which would

23:15

just be worse in a hard Landing scenario

23:17

I think people are going to spend less

23:19

on their homes so I think Lowe's and

23:21

Home Depot won't actually do very well

23:22

but okay this is their take Best Buy

23:25

Costco Kroger Tyson Food Pfizer

23:27

Microsoft Visa Mastercard into a

23:30

paychecks block a lot of Staples in here

23:32

right so this should be pretty clear but

23:36

in the hard Landing scenario you

23:39

probably want to invest in things that

23:41

are more value focused or more focused

23:44

on things that people have to use anyway

23:47

like people are going to be going to

23:49

Costco no matter what whereas maybe you

23:52

have a little bit more of a consumer

23:53

just discretionary push in the soft

23:55

Landing scenario right

23:57

the good news is that Goldman Sachs

24:00

believes this is a nice little bottom

24:01

line for the Goldman Sachs part Goldman

24:03

Sachs believes there's a significant

24:05

amount of pricing in already of earnings

24:09

per share pain

24:11

maybe not fully yet on margin

24:12

compression so be careful in how you

24:15

choose stocks and this is actually where

24:18

I personally like to look at companies

24:20

and go okay which companies do I think

24:22

are going to survive best in margin

24:25

compression and earnings compression

24:28

personally I think those are pricing

24:30

power stocks and I think it makes sense

24:32

to look for stocks that have pricing

24:35

power either by looking at actively

24:37

managed ETFs exchange traded funds those

24:40

are great because of the tax benefits of

24:42

ETFs being able to rebalance and trade

24:44

stocks within the portfolio without

24:46

passing on capital gains to you amazing

24:49

tax hack and I love pricing power ETFs

24:52

because of that hack

24:54

or look for individual companies that

24:57

you think have the most resilience for

25:00

EPS declines or margin declines okay

25:02

things to pay attention to now something

25:05

else that we want to pay attention to is

25:07

JP Morgan and Bank of America what are

25:11

they projecting well JPMorgan gives us

25:13

some fascinating insights about the

25:15

economic environment for 2023 and they

25:21

also hedge by saying look

25:24

there's a real possibility that 2023

25:27

could be worse than the environment was

25:30

in 2022

25:32

however given that we actually don't

25:36

believe that things are as bad so far

25:40

as they have been in the past in other

25:43

words even though they are increasing

25:46

their loan loss reserves they're nowhere

25:50

near the loan loss Reserves pre-pandemic

25:53

not only that but take a look at some of

25:56

these spending numbers here combined

25:58

debit and credit card spend up nine

26:01

percent year-over-year both

26:02

discretionary and non-discretionary

26:04

spend up year over year strongest growth

26:06

in discretionary being travel retail

26:08

spend up four percent that's that's

26:10

comparing to a really really strong 2021

26:14

retail spend is still up over last year

26:16

e-commerce spent up seven percent now

26:19

yes obviously inflation's up like seven

26:22

percent right so the real numbers are

26:24

like flat to negative but the fact that

26:26

it's even flat to negative compared to

26:28

the insane spending we saw last year is

26:31

really really good like this is

26:33

incredible and JP Morgan says that

26:36

consumer cash buffers for the lower

26:38

income segments are expected to be back

26:40

at pre-pandemic Levels by the third

26:42

quarter of 2023 in other words

26:45

JP Morgan thinks people still have cash

26:48

buffers going into the first quarter of

26:50

2023 that's insane

26:52

so on top of that delinquency rates for

26:56

credit cards are at 80 percent of

26:59

pre-pandemic levels

27:01

think about this for a moment I I know

27:02

there's a lot of information in this

27:04

video and that's why I like to sign post

27:05

what I think is going on here but put

27:08

this together for a moment Morgan

27:09

Stanley is quote not planning for a dark

27:13

period ahead Morgan Stanley says quote a

27:16

lot of money is sitting around waiting

27:18

to be put to work when the FED starts

27:19

cutting a lot of people excited to

27:21

invest boardroom talk about maybe people

27:25

are going to start going bullish again

27:27

Goldman Sachs going maybe we don't have

27:30

everything priced in but we're already

27:32

pricing in some pain for stocks and

27:35

maybe there won't be a recession JP

27:38

Morgan and Banks advertising more than

27:41

ever before and JPMorgan telling you

27:43

look things

27:44

things are actually still building

27:47

or at least flat compared to 2021 it's

27:50

actually not that bad I mean even flat

27:52

growth compared to 21 ain't that bad

27:55

and delinquency rates being lower than

27:57

before this is all kind of lining up for

28:01

not such a horrible situation now you've

28:05

got to keep your job though and this is

28:07

where some estimates aren't that great

28:09

JPMorgan for example thinks that we're

28:11

going to get to a peak of 4.9

28:13

unemployment rate the FED thinks we're

28:15

actually going to Peak out at 4.5 so

28:18

that means JPMorgan does see

28:19

unemployment going higher which will be

28:21

bad for the people who get laid off and

28:24

Bank of America still sees a mild

28:27

recession coming

28:28

but is also reducing how bad they think

28:32

it's going to be though they still think

28:34

5.1 percent unemployment so even Bank of

28:37

America is like higher unemployment than

28:39

the FED thinks but less bad than we've

28:42

previously thought so

28:44

you are actually starting to see

28:48

forecasts from Bank of America JP Morgan

28:53

Goldman Sachs pricing less of a

28:55

recession risk and they're starting to

28:58

soften on some of their their approaches

29:01

because data is coming in soft and

29:03

they're like wow maybe we can actually

29:04

get inflation down without a recession

29:06

maybe the soft Landing is possible I

29:08

mean look at this these are delinquency

29:10

rates on credit cards

29:12

yes yes folks delinquency rates on

29:14

credit cards are up but compare them to

29:17

what they were before the pandemic if

29:19

anything they're basically at like 2014

29:21

and 15 levels

29:23

but again yeah it's trending up so we

29:25

want to pay attention to it household

29:27

Debt Service payments which includes

29:29

mortgage payments basically at or below

29:32

historic Norms if you don't look at the

29:36

uh mortgage payments and you just look

29:38

at Consumer Debt yeah we're starting to

29:41

move up a little bit on Consumer Debt

29:43

you can see that right here we're kind

29:45

of sitting at those levels that we were

29:48

at 2018 and 2019 so yeah okay Consumer

29:52

Debt payments are up again things we

29:54

want to pay attention to but even JP

29:56

Morgan tells us people got a lot of cash

29:59

sure there are still risks for inflation

30:02

one of the big risks for inflation for

30:05

example is Hospital related services in

30:08

medical related Services because

30:09

remember the three pieces of inflation

30:11

that seem to be inflecting down we have

30:13

one which is called Goods inflation

30:16

Goods inflation already plummeting

30:18

number two housing inflation which has

30:22

been really really sticky and we and we

30:25

know that housing rent of shelter rent

30:27

of primary residents make up huge

30:29

weights of CPI over 32 percent right

30:33

and then we have wage inflation which in

30:36

part comes from hospital and medical

30:39

related services medical related

30:42

Services make up a six point almost

30:44

eight percent weight when it comes to

30:45

inflation and what do you have here well

30:48

you have sudden jumps again in the

30:50

inflationary numbers for Hospital

30:52

related Services now that could be as

30:56

The Economist puts it because of well

30:59

basically High medical related uh demand

31:04

because more people are getting sick

31:05

whether it's with covid or the RSV flu

31:10

that's going around or whatever here's

31:12

for example a piece where an England

31:14

average wait times for ambulance

31:16

response times jumping from 20 minutes

31:20

pre-pandemic for category 2 incidents

31:22

which are like heart attacks and strokes

31:24

up to 90 minute average response times

31:27

this is putting a lot of pressure on

31:30

hospitals around the world although

31:32

America is doing better average Hospital

31:35

occupancy rates recently exceeded eighty

31:38

percent for the first time so you're

31:40

seeing a lot of Demand on Hospital

31:42

services that could push up inflation

31:44

but that's like the last piece of the

31:47

puzzle that we're seeing is housing and

31:50

Hospital inflation that needs to come

31:52

down so far otherwise everything's

31:55

plummeting look at for example the New

31:58

York Empire State manufacturing survey

32:00

business activity continued to contract

32:03

sharply in the New York state area now

32:05

of course this is just the New York

32:06

state area but it is it is a frequently

32:09

tracked survey and something that tends

32:12

to be a leading indicator for the rest

32:13

of the country and for inflationary

32:17

statistics usually when the Empire State

32:20

manufacturing survey starts plummeting

32:22

inflation starts plummeting and look at

32:24

some of these numbers

32:26

headline General business conditions

32:27

index fell to negative 32.9 new orders

32:32

and shipments declined substantially

32:34

fifth month in a row of Falls delivery

32:37

times held steady inventories etched

32:39

higher employment growth stalled average

32:43

work week shortened input price

32:46

increases slowed considerably selling

32:50

price increases moderated so less

32:52

inflation right

32:53

so

32:55

this is like an insane amount of data

32:58

that that you've just gotten I am a data

33:01

nut and these are the kinds of things

33:03

that I like to teach in my courses on

33:05

building your wealth is how to get this

33:06

sort of data how to analyze this sort of

33:08

data how to learn and build your wealth

33:10

using logic right whether that's in

33:13

stocks deep fundamental analysis whether

33:16

that's in real estate wedge deals buying

33:19

properties below market value whether

33:21

that's in property management or being a

33:22

YouTuber or being an agent right of

33:24

course is on all of this or increasing

33:26

your income on negotiating check those

33:29

out by the link down below

33:31

but how do we put all of this together

33:32

because again I realize this is like oh

33:35

my gosh Kevin this is so much

33:37

information

33:39

I think all of this information is very

33:42

clearly pointing in One Direction it's

33:45

saying that look recession or not

33:48

maybe things aren't

33:50

going to be as bad as everybody thinks

33:53

maybe stocks are already pricing in a

33:57

good reduction for earnings yeah some

33:59

companies might get hit with margins and

34:02

maybe that's actually a risk to the

34:04

indices maybe that's a risk to the S P

34:07

500 and instead of being an index-based

34:09

investor maybe now makes the sense or it

34:12

makes the most sense to start picking

34:13

individual stocks that you think have

34:15

the most pricing power now look yeah I'm

34:18

a licensed financial advisor I run an

34:20

actively managed ETF I sell programs on

34:23

building your wealth I just want to be

34:24

clear when I talk about these stock

34:26

recommendations Goldman's talking about

34:28

or some suggestions I'm not giving you

34:31

personal financial advice right but from

34:34

a financial point of view

34:36

there's some potential optimistic moves

34:39

you can make here

34:40

you don't want to play hopium you know

34:43

YOLO call options not an investing

34:45

strategy but put the piece of the puzzle

34:48

together here

34:49

leading inflation data Empire

34:51

manufacturing reports isms Morgan

34:55

Stanley boardroom talk Bank advertising

34:58

spending Goldman Sachs expectations

35:02

Economist expectations for a recession

35:05

JP Morgan and Bank of America

35:07

optimistic outlooks while reducing their

35:11

negative outlooks

35:13

the leftover inflationary risks being

35:17

relatively nominal health care but

35:20

expected based on at least talk from The

35:22

Economist to wane in the coming months

35:25

especially as we get out of the winter

35:26

season and flu season

35:29

credit card Trends debt spends consumer

35:33

spending Trends consumer excess cash

35:36

balances while declining still present

35:40

per JP Morgan

35:43

when you put all of this together

35:45

it all points to One Direction and I

35:49

want to be super clear about that

35:50

because again I know this is a lot of

35:52

information

35:53

but look if this is a baseline right

35:57

here let's draw that a little later if

35:59

this is a baseline right here

36:02

all of the stuff that I'm talking about

36:04

so far

36:07

start looking like or starts to look

36:09

like a lot of green shoots now you want

36:12

to be careful right we don't want to be

36:14

in a situation where we're getting

36:15

overly optimistic

36:17

but uh frankly I'm looking for the bad

36:20

news out of all of these reports and the

36:23

only piece of bad news I saw in all of

36:25

this

36:26

was margin

36:29

that's it margin for companies margin

36:32

compression

36:34

that's it

36:35

so that is a risk but again look for

36:37

companies that have insulation here

36:39

otherwise again everything we've looked

36:41

at odds of recession consumer data

36:44

inflation data leading isms

36:47

manufacturing reports uh EPS Corrections

36:51

already priced in boardroom talk

36:55

personally

36:57

I think it makes sense to start

37:00

considering the possibility

37:03

that we may either be at bottom

37:06

or the bottom may already be behind us

37:09

might be time to start thinking about

37:12

deploying more cash rather than less

37:14

again not personalized Financial advice

37:17

for you but these are very very

37:20

different indicators from what we saw in

37:23

January of 2022 very very different in

37:27

January of 2022 this was flipped it was

37:30

mostly down arrows compared to up arrows

37:33

ah

37:34

now the last thing I have to say is I

37:38

would love to meet you in person and I'm

37:41

considering doing local events in cities

37:44

across the continental United States

37:46

basically anywhere I could fly to I'm

37:48

thinking about doing Fridays era maybe

37:50

maybe Friday events I'm not sure let me

37:52

know in the comments down below if you

37:53

consider a Friday event but basically

37:55

I'm thinking about doing uh events where

37:58

I teach real estate wedge deals and and

38:00

we get to do a Meetup and Q a and stuff

38:02

like that from somewhere probably around

38:04

like 10 30 or 11 in the morning to five

38:07

uh and we do basically some kind of

38:09

event at a hotel conference room or

38:11

whatever if that's something you're

38:13

interested in let me know in the

38:14

comments down below if you want to fly

38:17

with me privately and Shadow me as we

38:20

explore real estate you could do that as

38:22

well via the link down below now when it

38:23

comes to the bottom line you've got to

38:25

ask yourself do you believe that this

38:29

potential recession will go away when

38:32

the Federal Reserve flip-flops if the

38:34

Federal Reserve flip-flops you probably

38:37

want to be long on the market because

38:39

there's a chance the market will bottom

38:41

well before earnings bottom which is

38:43

historically true historically the stock

38:45

market bottoms three to six months

38:46

before the bottom in earnings

38:48

and you typically might expect that if

38:52

the FED starts reducing rates the

38:55

Market's already priced in those fed

38:57

actions and therefore you don't want to

38:59

wait for that to occur and instead you

39:02

want to be in the market before that fed

39:04

flip-flop so to speak however

39:07

historically the inverting of the or the

39:11

re-inverting of the yield curve so to

39:13

speak that is it's inverted so the

39:15

steepening of the yield curve

39:16

can be quite painful also often and

39:19

historically the stock market doesn't

39:21

actually bottom before the FED u-turns

39:24

so that would require a lot of hope that

39:28

this time is different and basically if

39:30

you're investing right now you're saying

39:31

you think all these positive signals

39:34

mean the fed's going to stop and the FED

39:36

is the only reason we're facing a

39:38

recession

39:39

and If the Fed Catalyst goes away we can

39:42
