Complete Economic Meltdown | The Crash is Worsening.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me Kevin here coming to you
from the Port of Long Beach boy oh boy
we have a crisis the NASDAQ is down
almost a four percent both the s p and
down down nearly a three percent what is
going on with our economy because it
feels like it's collapsing it feels like
the Federal Reserve has absolutely zero
control or even zero clue as to what the
hell they're doing well we've got a lot
to talk about in this video not only are
we going to start by talking about the
fed and rates but we're going to talk
about why they've lost control and we're
also going to talk about what just
happened with the consumer credit
explosion and maybe we'll even touch
about what happened with AMD yesterday
because that was another crisis all
these crises compounding especially
since when you look at the disasters and
the escalation that we're seeing in
Ukraine uh Russia now pushing forward
again more strongly towards the South uh
and in addition to that the Chinese
economy looking even gloomier and
gloomier by the day some folks calling
for a bottom and then it just gets worse
folks I don't even know where to begin I
will say though I am wearing a prayer
potion so maybe it makes it a little bit
better okay let's start with this first
there are now some folks on Wall Street
and this is scary they are now some
folks on Wall Street saying hey um you
know how the feds said that at the end
of 2022 interest rates would lift off
from zero percent and they'd end up at
0.9 that's what they told us a year ago
oh we'll be at 0.9 we'll barely have to
raise rates to constrain inflation
because it's transitory it'll go away
you know and to some extent we still
believe that some of the inflation
caused by the covet pandemic is
transitory some of the issues caused by
China and Ukraine and Russia might not
be so transitory those were as Jerome
Powell told us in February a quote game
changer
well some folks on Wall Street are
saying hey remember how the FED said 0.9
yeah they were wrong then
they're gonna be wrong again
and so then the FED said hey rates at
the end of 2022 probably get slightly
above neutral and we think neutral is
like two and a half percent you know
maybe we'll have to go restrictive just
a little bit for some time we'll go to
like
2.75 and and then we'll be able to pause
and sort of assess and wait for the data
to come in
well then just last month they told us
nah you know what we're actually gonna
go to 4.6 percent
and we're probably not going to pause
we're we're just going to go to 4.6 uh
and then uh you know we might have to go
above that we might not pause so don't
plan on a pause but eventually we'll
pause and when we do we're not going to
U-turn and drop rates anytime soon we'll
stay there for a while okay that's
that's the latest that they told us so
in other words every single estimate
they've given us so far has been wrong
it's coming a lot hotter and stronger
and this is now leading some folks on
Wall Street to say
we are not seeing inflation improve
we're not seeing jobs inflation improve
we're probably going to need the FED to
be wrong two or three more times and
that potentially means Rising rates
raising rates all the way to a Fed funds
rate of maybe close to six to seven
percent
most say that high inflation is never
broken unless the FED funds rate is
actually higher than the nominal rate of
inflation the nominal rate of inflation
right now is 8.1 percent if the Federal
Reserve raised rates to 8.1 percent we
would be in a depression inflation will
go away but we will be in a depression
it will be a complete disaster and it's
already turning into a disaster and
consumers are doing the absolute worst
thing that they could potentially be
doing right now
that is spending more money specifically
on travel consumers are spending more
money on travel they're spending more
money internationally on luxury clothing
they're spending more money on apparel
they're spending more money on cruises
and and going out and just blowing their
money
entertainment spending's going up and so
what happens when you look at people's
credit card bills well you look at
people's credit card and last month what
did we get well we thought people's
credit card bills and their outstanding
debt would go up by 25 billion
economists were wrong once again
debt actually went up 32.2 billion
dollars and if you go look up my last
tweet or one of my last tweets at
realmeet Kevin on Twitter you'll
actually see the chart of the growth of
consumer credit every single month going
all the way back to 1980. and what
you'll notice is the chart has never
been higher than where it is now we're
at insane peaks of consumer credit
growth right now at a time where rates
are skyrocketing and now are estimated
well the market isn't anticipating this
Market is anticipating terminal rates
will be like 4.7 percent but there are
some Wall Street analysts who are saying
hey this is a Fed funds rate is going to
go like eight percent
that's insane fed funds rate goes to you
know six percent even uh I mean eight
percent would just be absolutely
devastating but even six percent which
is where you have a lot more of the the
bearish folks uh estimating right now
six percent that off four and a half's
not gonna cut it we're gonna cross five
and maybe we'll get to six but then
we'll peek out around there that's just
what some of the more hawkish people are
saying nobody's really saying eight with
the exception of the people are like
well historically we gotta get the rate
above what inflation is but then again
maybe inflation will be like 5.9 knock
on wood uh and then we get to six
percent right something like that could
happen but anyway
that's scary and the last thing people
should be doing is getting into debt
more this is absolutely insane like this
is the worst time to be getting into
debt or borrowing for a new car or
buying a home buying a home is like the
worst thing you could do right now be so
stupid Oh that's a nice one uh but
anyway oh it's a little expression
espresso but anyway uh this is so
annoying now they got this giant
announcement going on over here but
anyway hopefully you can't hear it so
what's crazy
is that you are clearly going to be
going into an earnings recession and if
you're holding stocks you need to buckle
up because I'm not encouraging anybody
to sell and I'm not selling I'm buying
but it's painful and as I said in
January this is gonna be a long process
and unfortunately I've been wrong about
the timing right I thought this process
would have ended by now that we would
have seen inflation and inflationary
figures from jobs start rotating down it
might take two or three times as long as
we originally thought we thought okay
this is going to be you know a 9 to 12
month hiking process and then we'll peek
out uh and then inflation will finally
come down and the FED can relax it's
just not looking that way so while it
could still happen you know maybe
inflation will still peek out at the end
of this year and and maybe the bottom of
the market will come which the bottom of
the market usually comes six months
before uh the bottom of earnings that's
really important to keep in mind six
months before the bottom of earnings per
Goldman Sachs is usually when you see
the market actually bottom but anyway is
it like
we got to be a lot more patient than we
anticipated I think calling for and it
could still happen but I think calling
for oh we're definitely going to see an
end of the year rally oh we're
definitely going to see a Tesla rally
q3q4 I think those are mistakes and you
know those are things that I've said uh
you know obviously without guarantees
but but like everything's just taking a
lot longer to get where we want it uh
and and uh the the pain is lasting a lot
longer as well so we have to be more
patient and willing to survive the pain
uh for a lot longer so what does that
mean it means staying away from margin
let's look at amds or or really debt
that could take us out like you got to
be a survivor in these times let's look
at what AMD just announced AMD and we
talked about this this morning in our
course member live stream which remember
to join use that coupon code down below
uh if you look at my Twitter story
you'll see my Shopify complaints it's
like absolutely ridiculous how long it's
taking to get this this one product that
we're trying to launch up on Shopify
it's just totally ridiculous customer
service sucks to Shopify I think they're
cutting because they're so bloated you
know after I started using Shopify I I
got actually initially excited because
of all the bells and whistles they say
they have I got initially excited about
the Shopify earnings and I look and I go
oh my gosh this is a terribly bloated
company barely growing revenues for the
valuation where it is and they need to
lay off staff and I think that's what
they're doing the customer service
department is a complete disaster but
anyway AMD which we analyzed this
morning in the course member live stream
also a complete disaster we looked at
their preliminary numbers and oh my gosh
they're they're PC division is
plummeting that's their processor
division so people are buying less PCS
we're starting to see cracks in servers
data centers and servers and integrated
chips and while they're still growing
some the growth is slowing starting to
see cracks there and the PC division is
not crypto crypto is the gaming division
that was actually flat quarter over
quarter uh but quarter over quarter and
year over year you had a complete
collapse of pro the processing division
terrible and part of that is because a
people are buying less but the other
part is because we're still having
supply chain crises and this is what
brings up how the Federal Reserve is
failing so the Federal Reserve cannot do
anything about nightmares here they
can't do anything about that all they
can do is raise rates that's their blunt
policy instrument to basically create
more pain reduce our wealth and ruin our
time okay and every time I go on a
vacation a freaking stock market crashes
is terrible but anyway this behind me
right here this is a logistical
nightmare when there are fewer people
available to drive those trucks or
they're demanding more wages well fine
let them have more wages I mean I
encourage people get paid more money for
for hard work
and that is hard work out there but boy
oh boy even with wages going up there
still aren't enough people it's insane
and so you have massive supply chain
snarls that are just worsened by the
fact that China is trying to be
protectionist at the same time as their
economies crashing by more than a third
they're they're without doubting a
recession although their statistical
numbers or they're still positive GDP
two and a half percent it's just slower
growth it's
but anyway the FED can't do anything
about the supply chain damage so even
AMD even Tesla right complaining about
logistical nightmares and supply chain
nightmares they're still going on we
still like we have an oversupply of like
crypto chips that nobody wants and an
under supply of chips that we need for
things like cars which is crazy so we
still have a massive supply chain
mismatch and the FED Mary Daley Marie
Daly whatever told us uh just two days
ago in an interview with Bloomberg she
said hey you know look we think we
control the demand side of the
occupation and we think demand is
responsible for 50 of the inflation
we're seeing okay fine that means every
time you do a rate hike it's only 50 as
effective and every time you hike rates
one percent here you slow down
markets like Europe buy like 1.6 percent
there's like a a 60 greater effect on
other markets than our own Market from
rate hikes so in other words your hiking
rates to lower demand you have to lower
demand so much so to actually be able to
effect and try to get the supply chains
to repair themselves in doing so you are
crushing other markets this is why the
United Kingdom is experiencing uh you
know I mean they just had to rely on
their lending of Last Resort
capabilities because uh they almost
destroyed the market with with uh the
fall of the pound and the destruction in
the bond market Pension funds nearly
going bankrupt it's the kind of stuff
that could happen out here too it's
scary and so this is where
I want to be very clear about a few
things
first of all clear your calendar for the
first two weeks of December okay I want
to meet you in New York more details to
come I don't know what date yet
New York Stock Exchange first two weeks
of December be there be square
okay number two
you need to survive
I'm not paper handing
you know people label me as a paper hand
flip-flopper it's fine I think that's a
minority I think a lot of people come
here for intellectual
perspective
so I shouldn't even be addressing the
morons but anyway
I'm not selling
I am a fan of increasing my quantity in
these times and it's very hard it's very
hard I mean I'm looking at numbers red
that I haven't seen in my life okay like
it's so red it's terrible
but this is the time to build quantity
and that's exactly what I'm doing I'm
not going to let the emotions of what we
have known since January was going to be
a shitty 2022 affect what I believe the
trajectory for this rest the rest of
this decade is the rest of this decade
is an opportunity to build Welsh buying
at the bottom and writing stocks and
buying real estate substantially cheaper
than we'll ever be able to before
this is why we're hoarding cash with
househack we're not going to finance
real estate at these rates it's insane
everybody else is going to get screwed
in real estate we'll be the ones who
have cash we're gonna have massive
buying power
it's gonna be amazing if you're an
accredited investor you should join me
househack.com read the PPM that's your
solicitation this video is not a
solicitation
and if you're non-accredited don't worry
we're working on something to get
non-accredited investors in probably
also by January
but folks this is a time to be a
Survivor get out of debt increase your
income like you have to keep the grind
on right now now is literally the time
to get a second job I know that sounds
terrible it's like ah but things are so
shitty exactly exactly the time to be
euphoric and spendy is when when things
are a bull run like okay then go ride
your private jet now it's economy
save every freaking dime you can
stop spending money
I know that sounds crazy because that's
just gonna make the economy worse but
look come on in the finance Community
how many people am I really talking to
here okay relative to all consumers
across the United States are let alone
the world we're not worried about moving
the economy with my videos here I'm
worried about helping the people who do
watch realize
the pain could last longer
you know I'm not gonna come here and say
this is it this is the bottom tried that
didn't work I was wrong you know it it
was just wrong
it was just wrong and it sucks you know
in hindsight it's like damn best
performing asset was Cash
which
is kind of what I said in January I just
didn't fully listen to myself uh I only
partly listen to myself
uh but anyway be a Survivor don't get
margin called don't go bankrupt in this
time stop hiring people
if this is a hard message but if your
business is not going to survive under
the payroll that you have you need to
cut people got to get fired I'm sorry
that's just the way it works
you know these are times not to be
spendy other times to be Thrifty and I
want you to be a Survivor I got a text
message this morning from a course
member sent me pictures of of uh this
this store they opened up
phenomenal success awards they're in the
paper everything booming as
entrepreneurs now and um they thank me
for a lot of my business insights and I
mean huge shout out to them I gotta end
up posting a picture of of what they've
got going on maybe maybe we meet them
one day that'd be really cool but uh you
know I want to hear stories like that
from you I hear stories like that from
course members who especially those who
join in you know 2017 18 19. it takes
some time to get there you know it's not
overnight success
but I want you to be that person that
wins in 2028 I want you to be able to
look back at 2022 and go damn that was
hell
but now it's not
wish you the best and uh stay tuned for
more updates thanks for watching
damn it Jerome Powell you're really
screwed up let me make sure I covered
everything we talked about AMD we talked
about Consumer Credit we talked about
that six percent potential terminal rate
I mean that could be a lot of
fear-mongering and fud but I mean
things are so shitty right now anyway I
think I covered it all all right I'll
see you folks bye
