The Federal Reserve is Destroying Everything.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
There's Something Brewing and I don't
know exactly what it is but the market
is behaving Strangely I have some
opinions as to what's going on but some
folks are saying that the market is
crashing
inside out kind of like this is maybe a
weird analogy but kind of like if you
ever gardened and had aphids suck the
life out of your plants there apparently
these like killer wasps that'll come
Land by the aphid stab the aphid inject
a baby into the aphid the baby wasp then
grows inside of the aphid eating the
aphid from the inside out until all of a
sudden explosion sorry for the
graphic descriptive visual there
but somebody sent me a message and
they're like Kevin there's this growing
Divergence between the equal weighted
S&P 500 and the market cap weighted S&P
500
basically this is a way of saying that
like Nvidia is going up and everything
else is going
down there are two potential ways to
look at this one you could say the
true economic reaction to what happened
this week datawise isn't actually
broadly being seen instead we're just
sort of writing it off as oh it's a it's
a risk off selloff that's what we had in
the market today now why would I say
that mind you okay well mostly because
bitcoin's down about 3,000 bucks over
the last couple days so shorting Bitcoin
made sense on a day like today uh we'll
talk about that strategically in a
moment uh and you look at the QQQ you
actually see it ended up half a
percentage point but look at the downs
and they're pretty remarkable on the
downside you've got sun power down
99.82% % you've got Embraer out of
nowhere is down 5'7 enas is down almost
4% vertiv one of those derivatives of uh
uh server installs down 4% AMC down four
C3 AI is down four Sofi is down five
redfin's down four Robin Hood's down
three uh Tesla down two and a half after
the shareholder approval
vote all of these stocks are reminiscent
of generally risk on positions so when
everybody feels you for it and interest
rates are falling usually risk on
rallies well we had a great CPI report a
great PPI report and quite frankly we
should be assuming that the Federal
Reserve is more interested in pricing in
some more rate Cuts in fact markets
right now for the first time that I've
seen really since about January of this
year have started to price in more than
two rate cuts by December now that's
really interesting because previously we
went all the way down to like 1.14 at
one point we were barely pricing in rate
Cuts anymore uh and now we're back to
over
two this comes after the data we get but
an oddly hawkish Fed so how do we put
all of this together we've got this
Divergence in the S&P we've got this
Tesla uh weird activity we've got
Bitcoin we've got the sovereign debt
crisis in France we've got a lot of a
mess going on and a lot of folks are
legitimately wondering Kevin this is
strange help us make sense of this and
so while I don't know as uh you know an
expert exactly what is going on I'm
going to do my best I'm going to mention
that uh we are doing a quick one day
just because there's so many folks to
process here one day extension on the
coupon code uh that we expired this
Friday or Wednesday on CPI fed day I
didn't post yesterday I've been
overwhelmed sorry there's a lot going on
this is my p&l in the stocks and sight
group for this week which is really
exciting that's realiz p&l but it should
have been higher and no guarantees
obviously that my future trading results
which I send alerts for to those of you
in the stocks and sight group uh will
will always be profitable I actually can
guarantee that it won't be you could
lose a lot of money but my goal is to
provide perspectives and one of the
reasons I bring this up is I didn't
actually make as much money as I thought
I would on Tesla this week and and so
I'm very surprised by that because the
shareholder meeting was supposed to be a
giant negative Catalyst off of Tesla
shareholders backs so let's break this
down one by one first of all Tesla
Catalyst supposed to be really positive
stock down odd why margins have bottomed
I think sales are bottoming for the
company 2024 will be your flattening
period and you'll be off to the races
with growth again quite frankly look
making Tesla's valuation ironically look
cheap you can value them at a 1.67 Peg
and as long as you deliver about 3
million Vehicles by 2026 you know a
little more than two and a half years
away you're at a $300 stock really just
pricing in a solid margin and none of
the other stuff Insurance FSD I just use
a little bit of a higher margin to price
it in Optimus you don't have to go that
nitty-gritty and try to price in Elon
saying we're going to go to a 3050
trillion company you don't even have to
do that to get a nice return between now
and 2026 hopefully though but why then
if the negative catalyst is gone and
I'll play my interview with Yahoo
finance at the end of this where I
talked about
Tesla why then would Tesla sell off well
it's a symptom not of Tesla but off of
this riskof attitude that's going on and
it's an attitude that is
amplifying central banks are about to
break something see when we lose 695,000
full-time jobs and gain back 284,000
part-time jobs we start wondering maybe
the FED has gone too far and they don't
even realize it
yet and I think that is the Crux of the
problem we're facing now it's not the
sovereign debt crisis in France though
the sovereign debt crisis in France
which quick explanation of that France
has a lot of debt to GDP like over 130%
I believe it's either 115 or over 130
the elections in France have led to the
belief that the country is either going
to default on some of its debt or it's
going to take on a lot more debt and
have a a less stable fiscal house
basically you know cut taxes lower
revenues increase expens what whatever
the assumptions are you're seeing
widening spreads in the French bond
market for for these compared to other
countries that's a problem because some
people view that as Maybe creating a
liquidity problem for an indebted
country and if a country can't get
access to money things start breaking
you start getting all of a sudden maybe
the European Union is going to have to
do something dramatic to try to save
France but then it Stokes inflation yet
who
knows all that like all these big words
and noise
aside the market is looking at things
going hm cracks in the jobs Market
cracks in people people's personal
finance cracks in France
H this is all symptomatic banking crisis
right office real estate this is all
symptomatic of a fed that's gone too
far and the FED told us to our face hey
you know we see the balance of risks
between going too far and doing too
little oh really you see those Balance
risks
as so clear that you would rather give
us a hawkish SCP than revise your SCP
incorporating the last amount of data so
that you can actually prove your data
dependent how can you possibly say your
data dependent when you say yeah this
new data came out but we generally just
don't revise our opinion after the data
comes out well which is it are you data
dependent or are you not data dependent
so what you end up with is a market that
goes holy fuk we have a Fed that is so
delusioned or or delusional or deluded
that they think they're balancing risks
when we're looking around going look at
all of the problems we're seeing and so
what you really have is a riskof selloff
that's coming as a result
of the federal reserve's summary of
economic projection
on Wednesday remember folks one of the
most critical pieces of it was the FED
telling us hey long-term we think rates
are going to be higher oh and shortterm
we think rates are going to be higher in
two places they ignored data and said
rates are going to be higher for longer
what so you're telling us on one hand
you're going to be data dependent but
then when cracks are starting to form
and data is coming in better you're not
being data dependent you're sticking
with that strategy so what sells off
risk assets okay risk assets are
interest rate sensitive stocks smaller
cap stocks growth stocks where the
growth is a little more speculative
Nvidia let's be clear is a growth
stock but at least right now the market
values it as non speculative growth
people like data centers uh uh based on
gpus
and Cuda will be the
future all Nvidia right whereas with
electric vehicles you have Elon
badman eeve may not be the future China
China China whatever right those are
those are sort of countervailing factors
that you don't actually have at Nvidia
and you are still going through a growth
bottoming process in Tesla it hasn't
bottomed out yet growth so I think it
has mind you but at least in the data we
haven't seen it uh or in earnings we
haven't seen it yet uh that's mostly
because I think this interest rate offer
is actually very good from Tesla and I
think it's working very well but that's
not going to eliminate the concerns that
the broader Market has so it's much
easier to go okay I want growth what am
I going to invest in well Nvidia is
going up so let's buy more Nvidia okay
but what about Tesla the growth stock oh
the growth stock that hasn't been
growing its stock price for the last 3
years no thanks that's an overvalued car
company that's sort of like your general
like perspective of the market so and I
don't align with that now I'm not always
right but I personally think at some
point I don't know when I haven't sold
all my Nvidia I've certainly trimmed my
Nvidia at these levels and I'm not
actively increasing my allocation to
Nvidia uh but at some point we are and
we're already starting to see it mind
you we actually talked to course M oh I
haven't announced that here on the
channel yet oo I might have to I I have
to do a separate video on that but we
did a course member uh live stream uh a
couple days ago and what we did I think
it was actually yesterday morning what
we did is we looked at Invidia server
availability for h100s at under $4 and
the trend is straight up in English
these servers are becoming more and more
cheap which increases the break even
costs if you're going to build a data
center which makes it less desirable for
you to buy data center chips which
increases the chance that orders are
going to slow for NVIDIA sooner so like
let me rephrase that if Nvidia is going
to crash the first thing you would see
is more available server
time separately we are starting to see
more available server time at lower
prices okay see where I'm going with
that okay now with that uh I suppose it
should I really should just pull up that
screeny really quick let me pull it up
because this is the kind of stuff I
always like to give a sort of early
perspective on uh to course members and
and again I I'm I'm sorry I don't want
to seem flippant with like the
expiration the net price after a coupon
code goes up over time that's very very
simple we're just doing a quick thing
today to catch up on people who still
want in before we remove the coupon code
uh completely uh and and then all of a
sudden it's substantially more expensive
to get it so if you want lifetime access
get in before 11:59 tonight okay uh and
then everybody's off for the weekend
which is great but take a look at this
uh this is the chart that I posted in
Discord ignore all this red Oh wrong
thing uh H okay hold on a sec uh I'm
going to post in just a moment this
chart in Discord or that I posted in
Discord I want you to ignore for a
moment all of the red that's all like
sort of my note-taking and theorizing
but just know percent of minutes an hour
an hour with on demand availability for
h100s and and the trend is is clearly up
I added the red line but you can see the
trend is clearly clearly up all the
other stuff is more like course member
notes and stuff I talked about uh now
this is just one data point and
obviously the plural of you know one is
not uh like a guaranteed Trend so I I
could think of a more eloquent way to
say that but let's just make this very
simple the market is showing frustration
over the Federal Reserve reaction to
really good data the Market's flushing
out that wait a minute you said you're
going to be data dependent and you're
not being data dependent that pisses a
lot of people
off okay so what happens you sell off
interest rates sensitive in Risk Assets
Now what is one of the easiest risk
assets to short Bitcoin just buy
something like biti that does not make
me anti- crypto that doesn't make me
anti Bitcoin it makes me look and say if
risk assets are going to sell off what
is also going to sell off and is immune
to the fluctuations of company earnings
calls or company announcements or Nvidia
going up right like if I shorted the
cues I'd lose money today because N
Video went up so much and and the cues
are up obviously shorting Nvidia is very
very difficult I've lost money shorting
Nvidia before it's a bad idea and I've
I've told people regularly that even
though it's desirable to short it's a
very very hard stock to short until the
downtrend starts you're more likely to
get burned before you actually start
making money and that makes it a really
really hard short which is probably also
why the stock isn't going down because
nobody wants to short it because nobody
wants to get
hosed but fundamentally it should be
going down at some point I just don't
know what that is so I'm not going to
touch it so instead of shorting Nvidia I
just go short Bitcoin because it's
immune to Nvidia it's immune to
individual company idiosyncratic issues
at companies or announcements earnings
surprises whatever and it goes down when
risk assets go down if you look at the
1hour chart of BTC we are on a pretty
solid downtrend right here we keep
hitting lower lows and we're getting
lower highs pretty consistently the
trend is here this is just on the hour
chart we got a double top at
71 so uh I I I you know I don't know
that there's a hurry but if a we're
going to have a risk selloff shorting
Bitcoin and shorting
coinbase could prove profitable could
not guarantees not a guarantee not
personalized Financial advice you could
lose money I know some people ask me
that Kevin weren't you buying a bunch of
Tesla calls I was uh on
Wednesday pretty sure it was the answer
Wednesday on Wednesday it was either
Wednesday morning or Thursday morning I
can't remember it may have been Thursday
morning we did a course member live
stream and I'm like I need to get out of
my Tesla calls not because I don't
believe in Tesla and believe that this
is a good Catalyst but because the
momentum that we're seeing after the
vote has been approved is not what we
are expecting so something broader is
happening so we're going to take profits
and when I say we I mean me I should
just say I'm going to take profits I
don't TR for you if you lose money it's
your right I just provide perspective
that's all I do uh and so I closed I
don't have any Tesla calls right now
which I want Tesla calls but I'm
grateful today I didn't have any Tesla
calls cuz the darn thing crashed right
at the open like I went into this
morning with zero Tesla calls and look
at this I mean look at the lines we're
in no man's land we just crashed down to
my 82 to 183 range you know these lines
have been here for a while I didn't add
these today to be like haha see look I
have L like these lines have been here
for a while then it crashes guess to
where oh wow 178 bounce and plays
literally within this trading
range I'm actually just noticing this
right now because I didn't pay attention
to it too much today because I didn't
have calls on it today so I'm like oh
how convenient you know now in hset I'm
like it's perfect bounce bounce bounce
bounce over here bounce bounce B these
are some pretty gnarly lines uh this
purple one I think I did some random day
trade with it usually you want to pay
attention to my yellows which are like
these are pretty decent and my Blues are
usually the strongest sometimes if I
like see something intraday I'll throw a
purple down but I I need to just get rid
of those and just stick to these two
colors otherwise we're going to start
looking like the rainbow but this is
crazy and then when we fell out of that
range we couldn't get it back up we kept
getting rejected there so ta is not
fugazi it's it's pretty straight up uh
like this is what happens the reason
this happens is because a lot of people
look for similar Trends and it's sort of
self-fulfilling in that sense uh anyway
okay so so fed being pissed off is
getting priced in obviously consumer
sentiment was like poopy D doopy this
morning on the consumer sentiment
numbers and the inflation expectations
were higher but they shouldn't be
because inflation is falling unless of
course this one inflation report was
just an outlier and we're not going to
go back to bad like good inflation
reports I don't believe that but that it
is a possibility and then you have
stagflation but overall my point of view
and I'm going to play my Yahoo finance
interview here but overall there's
something going
on too many things are starting to crack
and you're starting to see the vix go up
that's your volatility index uh in fact
look at the day chart here uh yeah but
you're barely going up so this is the
weak chart on the volatility index it's
been straight down on VA on the day
chart you're pretty dang low on
volatility still but but something is
starting this is the non- average
Candlestick let me go to the 1 hour
something's starting to brew I I one
hour still it's it's too hard to really
see uh that there's anything yet I mean
all I know is the vix was up 6% today
but I wouldn't be surprised to see this
have another little leg up I mean
certainly before the election you know
stocks almost always sell off before the
election but anyway I don't know exactly
what's going on I know risk assets are
most at risk of a sell-off here there's
some weirdness going on where Nvidia and
probably honestly indexation is just
propping up the market indexation is a
problem indexation is a problem because
you just continue to allocate to stocks
that are going up um you know without
much in my opinion fundamental thought
actually zero fundamental thought in
indexation but whatever uh Apple's doing
well but not as well as I thought I
thought we're going to go over 250
pretty soon the trends started dying
within the last uh you know couple days
here now I made money on Apple but I
also had some trades that were red on
Apple uh but my net net up so look if
you want all my Buy sell alerts I send
them in my stocks and site group I send
you my thesis if my thesis is wrong I
show you like here's how I'm flipping on
it or whatever like yesterday I was
shorting coin if I didn't get stopped
out on it it would have been really good
today so I did take a little bit of it I
think I I was down like 6K or whatever
uh which is a big deal but uh you know
it would have paid out really nice ly
today but my stop loss triggered and
usually I don't set stop losses but I
was playing with this new feature on
Weeble stupid because if I kept it I
would have been up quite a good chunk
today um but that's okay would have
could have should have don't do what it
could have should have so again fed
pissed off because of the FED a lot of
cracks in the economy that the FED may
not be paying attention to therefore uh
you are getting this environment where
interest rate sensitive stocks are going
down at the same time as bond yields are
going down you're at 422 on the 10year
so it's like oh that's weird usually
when yields go down risk assets go up uh
yeah exactly and then I'm just pulling
here if we're at 422 on the 10 year and
on the 2year we are at 47 oh wow we just
inverted
more
wow 48 basis points inverted we just
went up another eight basis points we're
going deeper into inversion well that
sort of corroborates what we're saying
here uh greater risk of recession that's
what's being priced
in this this is why I haven't gone full
bull you know a couple days on Wednesday
after the FED meeting I'm like okay
these CPI numbers take me from like a 4
and 1 half to a 6 and A2 along with PPI
and and the other numbers that we're
getting but 6 and 1/2 even to seven is
still a d or C on the bull scale like
low uh
so these cracks it's just G be a matter
of time to see how bad they end up being
