The Fed JUST Began the GREAT RESET | NEW DANGERS.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
now i can make coffee right here while
streaming videos to you live got the
little nespresso right there and some
fresh coffee
welcome back everyone let's do a recap
of everything that jerome powell just
told us from his federal reserve meeting
and let me tell you there were some
bombshells in this one some mega
bombshells including i mean for how long
have i been talking about wanting to
start this real estate company because i
think the housing market's about to go
through a mega crash jerome powell
literally in this press conference told
us that the housing market is about to
go through a quote difficult correction
those are declines in excess of 20
percent
those are an opportunity for buyers and
my startup househack.com go there to
learn more especially if you're credited
okay let's get into the content of what
we need to cover with jerome powell
there's a lot all right and some of
these things are good some of them are
actually a little bit concerning so
first we got our 75 basis point hike
wall street was expecting two dissenters
we actually got zero that means we had a
unanimous 75 basis point hike the two
dissenters were actually expected to
potentially go for a 50 basis point hike
wrong every single person on the board
is expecting a 75 basis point hike in
addition to that before the summary of
economic projections came out we wrote
down estimates of what we thought that
the federal reserve was going to raise
rates to as a terminal rate the terminal
rate is a really important number
because that's how high we think
interest rates are going to go before
the fed pauses and then eventually
u-turns and on this document when we
covered this live i wrote down that i
thought we were going to see 4.6 my
estimates were in red in 2023 and then
3.9 percent in 2024 wall street thought
that the terminal rate would go to 4.1
next year and then 3.6 the year after
that
folks i nailed both of them 4.6
on the 2023 terminal rate that's the
upper end of the range i gave and on the
money 3.9 with the estimate that i gave
and that happened live it was pretty
epic but the reason i wrote those
estimates is because i said that i
believe the federal reserve made a big
mistake in june when they gave us their
last summary of economic projections
they didn't put on their big boy pants
they needed to put on their pants and
spank us a little bit and say you know
what we just have to be real with you we
need to be more aggressive than we have
been and finally today the federal
reserve did that that made me very happy
that the fed is finally putting on their
big boy pants and they're telling us get
ready for a spanking now that's good
because it does mean the fed is really
serious and they're trying to make sure
they build up their credibility as much
as possible that they're serious about
getting inflation down the jerome powell
gave us a few zingers that really hurt
and i'm not even talking about the
housing market singer one of the first
zingers that jerome powell gave us is
that in order
for inflation to go down
we need to do more for longer even if
inflation expectations are low
now that was a shocker for me because i
always say that the fed watches
inflation expectations closely both the
market inflation expectations as
measured by the five-year break-even
rate which have been plummeting and the
consumer expectations for inflation
which have also been trending down
unfortunately jerome powell today said
look it's great that inflation
expectations are low but the problem is
they don't have to stay low they could
jump up really quickly the best time to
get inflation down though is while
inflation expectations are low but that
means we have to be more aggressive now
while in inflation expectations are low
before higher inflation expectations
become entrenched now that's a mouthful
but it was basically a way of saying
yeah those charts are good kevin but
we're gonna have to be more aggressive
we have to put the big boy pants on
which i'm actually proud of them for
finally doing this was necessary to
finally have a summary of economic
projections that was realistic and spoke
to america with a sense of realism not a
sense of bs which we've gotten in the
prior summary of economic projections
which in my opinion have been complete
trash
now this is the summary of economic
projections that we have now and there
are a few things to really pay attention
to
number one change in gdp the federal
reserve believes we're going to be as
low as 0.2 on gdp for 2022 that is
dangerously teetering on the line of a
recession jerome powell mentioned the
word recession numerous times during his
press conference which in past cycles he
has avoided saying and he says that the
longer we have to stay at higher rates
and the longer we have to keep raising
rates the less likely it is that we're
actually going to have a soft landing at
all in addition they expect growth to
remain below trend for the foreseeable
future in fact you can see here that
growth is not expected to exceed two
percent any time over the next four
years the gdp is only expected to be 0.2
percent in 2022 1.2 percent in 2023
until rising to 1.7 in 2024 and even
though these estimates are bad the
estimates have always been not as bad as
reality reality has always been worse
than these now something else that's
really interesting is the unemployment
rate they projected would only go up to
about 4.4 percent next year and this was
one of the other dangerous things that
came up in this meeting the federal
reserve said in order for them to pause
inflationary rate hikes they would need
to see job openings and quits come into
balance if you quit your job it means
you can get another job and that means
you think the labor market is very tight
as an employee forget about quits for a
moment let's think about something
that's a little easier to understand job
openings right now we have about two job
openings per
one job
applicant
and the jerome powell has told us in
prior sessions and prior fed meetings
that we need to see that two job
openings go down to 1.8 1.7 1.5 1.4 and
match one so that way we have one job
opening per applicant and when we have
one job opening per applicant what
happens then now we have equilibrium in
the jobs market and we actually more
permanently bring inflation down because
right now even though people's wages are
going up which could lead to an
inflationary spiral a self-fulfilling
spiral of prices going up
people are not actually seeing their
real income go up because inflation is
so high and that especially hurts the
lower income demographics like we talked
about this morning in my course member
live stream where we try to do
fundamental analysis every day the
market is open whether it's on stocks or
real estate we analyzed american express
and we analyzed what both the cfo and
ceo were saying about this twin cities
approach we're seeing to income
demographics and potentially how
american express could be one of those
stocks along with tesla that could
actually fare well during an earnings
recession because their income cohort or
i should say their customer cohort has a
substantially higher income than other
individuals that's the tale of two
cities approach that jamie dimon over at
j.p morgan also echoes now going back to
the summary of economic projections oh
let me just finish that thought this
whole zinger about the the uh having to
bring uh the un the labor market back
into balance is a problem because
it hasn't been getting better job
openings have not been coming down and
that makes me concerned that the federal
reserve's
interest rate policy is actually going
to stay restrictive for not just
sometime but for some time longer and
the reason for that is they got to bring
the labor market into balance but this
is becoming harder and harder by the day
and so far the numbers aren't actually
going down so this is actually bad news
so it's good news the fed put on their
big boy pants but it's bad news that
they're telling us the numbers that need
to go down aren't going down sure
inflation expectations are low but those
only matter if the other numbers go down
and since the job numbers aren't going
down that his job openings aren't going
down we have a problem and we have to
get more restrictive and that is the
defense the fed uses against anyone who
says the fed might be overdoing it they
just look at the jobs market and go look
at the jobs market man that's all we're
going to say look at the jobs market
it's too strong that's a summary of the
federal reserve's opinion on on jobs and
it's very very critical now the summary
of economic projections does foresee
that inflation uh
pce inflation will go down to about 5.4
by the end of the year both all of these
expectations here will probably end up
getting missed uh they almost always do
the most important thing is that peak of
the federal funds rate i already
mentioned this though that the federal
reserve expects the peak to be about 4.6
and then go down to 3.9 percent next
year visually you can take a look at
this chart right here before the meeting
we had a blue line expectations of what
the fed rate hike would look like and i
warned before the meeting that it's very
likely we are going to see rates stay
higher for longer and the market's going
to adjust for that and now the new dot
plot represents the white line and the
orange line represents the uh the
post-fed market which means we're still
not aligned with what the dot plot says
which could mean more compression in
stocks if the stock market actually
cares about the dot plot which to some
degree they should because the federal
reserve is pretty unanimous in their
decision to raise rates uh next year in
fact these top dot plots right here
represent a high-end terminal rate of
about 4.875
and this right here represents about
4.375
that's 3 8.
and you can see that there's an equal
distribution of members who are looking
at a a terminal rate of between 4.375
and 4.875 there's only one person who's
voting outside of that range otherwise
everyone's pretty consistent that hey we
need to go pretty strong here on rates
it's not until 2024 that we really see a
diversity of opinion in terms of what's
going to happen and what this tells you
right here is the fed has absolutely no
freaking idea what's going to happen in
2024 but when it comes to 2023 the fed
understands
we're screwed and we need to work harder
okay very very very very important now
there's some other very important things
that the federal reserve talked about
specifically in regards to housing a few
months ago the federal reserve told us i
believe it was in june the federal
reserve told us jerome powell said that
if he was a first-time homebuyer right
now he would not purchase a home instead
he would wait for a pause or a reset
today he was asked what's your
definition of a reset what did you mean
when you said that and he responded and
today said that the housing market is
out of balance that people buying homes
for 10 over the asking price sight
unseen is not a balanced market that
there's a big imbalance and very
unsustainable levels of real estate
appreciation
jerome powell says we need to see supply
and demand align again so that way quote
people can afford a house again and that
quote we probably have to go through a
correction in the housing market end
quote which will end up being a quote
difficult correction end quote a
correction is defined as an over 20
decline in housing prices this in my
opinion folks is a massive opportunity
i've been warning of this opportunity
since january i sold 85 percent of my
personal real estate between january and
the beginning of june i was already
pretty much done in june but i sold all
my real estate in q1 and q2 because i'm
like no we are going to go through the
poopers and that's also why i'm starting
this company called house hack which
right now accredited investors can join
me in on go to househack.com upload your
w-2s a letter from invest ready or a cpa
or attorney verifying that you're
accredited and you can invest with me
you get founder shares and i make not a
single dime until your shares double in
value and we ipo and even after that i'm
subject to like an 80 lock up so like
i'm ride or die on this
in the future we've just retained well
we have just retained an attorney to
help us file for reg a so in the future
we should be able to accept
non-accredited investors as well but
that probably won't be until january but
stay tuned subscribe to the channel for
more updates on that i believe that
either you personally or through
househack i believe that there are going
to be massive opportunities to buy real
estate during this difficult housing
correction i believe that what jerome
powell is talking about is exactly what
i've been warning about that we are
going to go through a correction in the
housing market and not only are we going
to go through a correction in the
housing market but we're not even close
to peak fear yet peak fear is probably
more likely to visit us somewhere around
q1 to q2 of 2023 because that's when on
a year-over-year basis we're going to
look back and go oh dang the real estate
market is getting smoked
so we'll see it all depends on that
10-year treasury rate which is pretty
stable right now around 3.5 percent
which is a pretty painful level for the
real estate market and if you don't or
you're not interested investing in
household go buy a home yourself when
the market softens obviously subscribe
to the channel i'll be talking about
exactly what i'm buying and we'll be
having a lot of videos about me

below coupon code expiring in nine days
okay then uh we had this uh expectation
from wall street that the federal
reserve was really going to bs us again
we didn't get that we actually got a
little bit of a stronger fed here the
fed talked about weaker exports weaker
business investments the uh talked about
gas still being higher and more
expensive even if compared to last year
even though gas prices have come down
we've uh talked about or jerome powell
talks about core pce that's core
inflation being way too high that if you
chart core pc on a 3 6 and 12 month
basis inflation is at core inflation is
at 4.8 4.5 and 4.8 percent and that this
is not where we want to be that even
though supply-side chains being hot have
started to cool down inflation is not
coming down enough and it doesn't matter
if the rest of the world is going
through this synchronous hike of
interest rates and sure maybe there's a
risk of overdoing it but the federal
reserve more importantly risks
underdoing it because if inflation
expectations rise while inflation is
still hot the cost of actually bringing
inflation down will be much more
devastating and much worse to the
economy and could potentially even spell
economic collapse this is why paul
volcker paul volkered us in the 80s we
want to avoid the devastation from
inflation expectations rising and
therefore we need to do everything we
can to get inflation expectations down
now and that's why the fed is acting
more aggressively and this is why the
fed is giving us more dire projections
they want people's wealth to decline
with a wealth effect as studied by
robert schiller who came up with the
shiller uh case-shiller index for real
estate prices tells us that most of the
wealth effect occurs not from stocks but
from real estate and in order to really
bring down people's impression that they
can continue to spend money they have to
essentially cause a correction or force
a correction in the housing market it's
not a surprise and it's exactly what the
federal reserve has been alluding to for
almost a year now the writing was on the
wall
so bottom line what's my take on this
well i'm finally happy the federal
reserve gave us a serious dose of
reality the terminal rate is going to be
higher for longer the housing market is
going to crash and stocks are not going
to the moon anytime soon now maybe we're
going to have another fed relief rally
which we've had almost every single time
after a fed meeting we get like a one to
two week relief rally but that doesn't
mean the pain is over we are still
waiting for reports to actually show
that inflation is declining and we now
have a big highlighter on the jolts
report which even though we knew it was
important previously the biggest
highlighter was just drawn on the jolts
job openings report and it's scary
