The *BULL TRAP* | MAJOR WARNING
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Will the Kevin Hasset rally continue or
are we going to tank? Uh, in this I'm
going to give my prediction on time
frames and dates that you want to pay
attention to, especially if you think we
can get a bullish all-time high. I'm
going to point out exactly when I think
that could happen. We're going to go
through the catalyst. But first, what
actually kept the market booming this
morning or got us to boom this morning?
A couple things. Number one, we just had
the best unemployment weekly claims
numbers since April, which is bullish,
but that's also a really lagging
indicator. So, it's really more of like
a short-term bullish element. Second, we
got Kevin Hasset yesterday. He's pretty
much going to be the tool that right now
Trump is using to pump up the stock
market. It's sort of like the plunge
protection team is back. Oh, three weeks
of a stock market selloff. All right,
release some good news, Kevin Hassid.
And then immediately it turns into, oh
well, everybody's going to cut rates. I
mean, everybody wants rates to come
down, and people naturally see rates
coming down as being bullish. I mean,
frankly, the Wall Street Journal has
this large piece about the Fed's tool
for calming short-term funding markets.
Part of that is because we're starting
to see some of that repo stress again.
You saw that not just today up at 4
billion, uh, but also yesterday at 2.75
billion. Those are just on treasuries.
7.8 billion and 10 billion on MBS's. So
you could see a little bit of a pop off
on the right over here on repo. But
people think this is going to relax come
December 1st. So even though this could
be a little bearish, people think that
bearishness will go away soon. Uh and
really the bottom line that people think
is actually really epitomized by one of
these top comments in this Wall Street
Journal article, which is this guy uh
right here. Steven writes, "The upshot
of all of this new liquidity we could
get December 1st as the Fed stops
vacuuming up money from the economy
because they're going to stop
quantitative tightening is potentially
more inflation. But if not, then at the
consumer level with assets like real
estate stocks and AI investments, in
other words, stons up, real estate up
because rates down and more liquidity."
I think that's a really good summary of
what people think about December 1st
coming up and Kevin Hasset. So, you have
to think we we have some really good
>> bullish catalyst.
>> Yeah, bullish catalyst right now and we
don't really have a lot of bearish
catalyst. Look, here's the menu of them.
Okay, now uh keep in mind that while we
have this menu, I want you to write down
a couple dates and we're going to go
through this list of dates. We also
tomorrow the stock market is closed. So,
start with that. Tomorrow's
Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. I wish
you the best on Thanksgiving. I hope you
have a great time with family. I'll
probably do a little live stream just in
case you're lonely and want to hang out
a little bit. We'll do a little hangout
tomorrow. But anyway, Thanksgiving, the
market is closed tomorrow. Friday, you
have a half day. Friday is Black Friday.
We already have our Black Friday sale
for the House hack artificial
intelligence called Reinvest AI. We just
announced it. You can see the video on
my channel or you can check it out at
househack.com or reinvest.co is the same
company. You could get our AI or you can
invest. Read the offering circular. And
we also have the Black Friday sale for
all nine courses now over at the Meet
Kevin membership. You get the new
reinvest course as well. That's at
meetke.com. Uh so those those are Friday
catalysts. But here are the next
catalysts. So the bearish catalyst we
have really there are only two. I've got
ADP December 3rd. That's going to be the
full month of November. And then I've
got the ADP weekly set for December 9th.
Remember that we just had evidence that
the slow bleed is continuing. Now in the
Me Kevin membership I update the bear
bull scale uh pretty regularly and what
I wrote this morning is that nothing's
really changed on my bear bull scale
right here. I'm at a 5.0 on the bear
bull scale and we're we're really 50/50
on recession right you know I think for
out like I want to be transparent with
my biases. I think for IPOing House
hack, I really don't want a recession
because I think I can IPO sooner if
there's no recession. Duh. That's
obvious, right? But look at like the
bullishness that you have going into
next year. You get the hasset cuts. You
get the tax benefits of the big
beautiful bill really taking effect next
year. Fiscal stimulus, maybe you even
get stimulus checks. You know, the
downside is the slow bleed on jobs. And
that's what we're seeing with the ADP
data set. ADP data set showing us weekly
data moving down to negative 13 and a
half thousand isn't great. Now JP Morgan
is bullish and they've got this S&P up
20% by 27 bull target. The reason
they're bullish uh is mostly outlined by
their 2026 JP Morgan playbook. And a lot
of the things that I just summarized,
not including Hasset, but including rate
cuts and fiscal stimulus or whatever are
in this outlook. Now, we've gone through
this outlook before. I'll give you just
like a quick little sampling of it
because I don't want to sound redundant,
but I do think like recalling some of it
is useful. JP Morgan actually sees a lot
of clients holding more cash right now
than they did before the pandemic. And I
wrote down that this is actually
contrarian bullish. It's kind of like
this morning I was talking in the alpha
report about how hey, consumer stocks
right now are on now their fourth day of
rallying. Well, you know, obviously we
didn't know that this morning when the
market was opening. We thought they
might be on their fourth day of
rallying. So, think like Dave and
Busters, Target, Fun, Chipotle,
Cheesecake, Red Robin. Like, some of
these stocks have absolutely been
killing it and we've been watching and
talking about it every day because we've
been watching the collapse and now we're
at this little round out. Some people
are like, "Oh, this is just a trap." But
understand the bullish catalysts. The
bullish catalysts are potentially what
JP Morgan is saying here with cash. This
idea that yes maybe artificial
intelligence progress might be stalling
which is my take but their belief is
that you know right now investment is
contributing massively to artificial
intell or to GDP growth. Uh and this is
great because it keeps GDP propped up
until of course artificial intelligence
U-turns. And this is where I have to be
a little like cautious with like what
what I'm saying here because I'm not
saying we could be blindly bullish. Yes,
JP Morgan has some reasons to be
bullish, but what I call this right now
is a tactical rally now that could
potentially get us to new highs.
But the risk is the slow bleed
continues. Now, why does that make
sense? Because look at my list of
caddies right here. So these bearish
catalysts are not until December 3rd and
December 9th. And really like ADP data
usually isn't enough to move the market.
Look at the bullish catalyst we have
right now all the way through December
10th. No earnings until January. Okay?
So it's hard to get bad news. We're
pretty much done with earnings. We just
had John Deere, Hula Packard, Dell,
Nvidia, you know, we had a lot of our
earnings. The Fed is likely to cut
December 10th. When we went hawkish with
Powell, the market sold off for three
weeks. Now we are actually expecting the
cut for December 10th. That's bullish
bullish catalyst. No October CPI, GDP,
jobs data. Now that's bad in the long
term as an economist or you know a macro
analyst. It's bad. But in the short
term, monkey see no evil. Short-term
bullish. We get a delayed jobs report
after December 10th. we get liquidity
constraints ending December 1st at the
Fed. That's Cyber Monday. Uh in my
opinion, there is a shot at all-time
highs by December 9th. So, I actually
think you have rally mode between now
and December 9th. And I think the
consumer stocks could join with that.
Now, mind you, in greed and fear, the
reason I say consumer stocks are part of
this is because look, and and I'm seeing
this breath is rising. Where's breath?
Right here. Stock market breath. Look at
the U-turn that we're seeing right here.
Now, could it be a trap? Could we fall
off the cliff again? Of course. But
breath has gotten so low, which is the
number of stocks rising versus
declining, right? It's gotten so low
that it makes sense we're seeing a
reversal again. Six flags up again 3%.
Look at this. Look at these on like an
hour chart. These have been straight
down for a while on a day chart, on a
week chart, but on an hour stock the
last four days, six flags up. Robin Hood
bouncing. Chipotle bouncing. Target
bouncing. Uh Red Robin bouncing. Uh
Dave, uh yeah, Dave and Busters
bouncing. Right. This this is increasing
breadth. We're seeing a recovery form,
which is good. You know, AMD regained
200. That's a critical line in our alpha
report. Uh you've got uh coreweave.
Cororeweave has to be above the 69 line
and Cororeweave is barely, you know,
it's not recovering as well. Like I'm
not making long bets on Cororeweave. I
think this will be a bag holder stock in
the future and it will be part of the
artificial intelligence downfall of the
future. But the 6847 line here, this is
great that we're holding it. Short-term
bullish, longer term doesn't really tell
us much, right? So breath great,
liquidity, great. Go back to the
catalysts over here. You got a 100 day
moving average balance on the S&P 500
and the NASDAQ 100. 595 was maintained
on the Q's. And I actually think this is
a great opportunity to diversify. I
think you have between now and December
9th, you know, I'm not saying like get
out before December 9th. Uh, but I think
you have a a critical opportunity
between now and December 9th to ask
yourself, okay, do I want to diversify
from some stocks that I have a really
big allocation in, I have a lot of big
profits in, and do I want to diversify
those into, you know, if I'm convinced
there's going to be a soft landing into
some consumer stocks or maybe you like
some of the stocks on the meet Kevin,
top 10 stocks to buy for the next 10
years list. You know, that's not
personalized financial advice. It's just
a way of saying that when you get these
tactical bounces, there's an opportunity
to do a few things. You can bet on a
soft landing. You could pay off debt.
You could pay off margin. You could
raise cash for a new dip. You could
invest in House Hack and earn 5% uh and
all the upside in the stock. You know,
read the details at househack.com. The
offering circular. This video is not a
solicitation. There's risk with every
investment. You know that. Uh, but I
also think that, you know, this this
Ukraine peace deal, mind you, I think
Putin is not sincere. Like, I think
Putin is just buying time, but I don't
think you're going to realize that Putin
is just buying time before December 9th,
so it's actually a bullish catalyst
versus a negative catalyst. Now, then,
of course, a lot of people are like,
"But Kevin, you know, crypto is in like
this weird like bare cycle." But I
actually think what's happening in
crypto is what I call the anti-treasury
stock meme phase. So in other words, you
had this massive momentum in treasury
stocks, crypto treasuries, and now
you're getting the anti-me movement
because people are making more money on
stocks than on crypto. So they're taking
profits on crypto. I don't think it's a
fundamental indicator. I don't think
it's a very good leading indicator for
what's going on in the market. It's
pretty hit or miss. Even Bitcoin's hit
or miss.
uh you know old five for for in my
opinion old five is a scam and this is
my opinion and the reason for my opinion
I gave two months ago it's a video that
actually did not get a lot of views I
posted this video two two months ago it
got like 27,000 views no nobody cared
about my warning but over here the stock
was like 78 $9
and I called it out as a scam I said
that you know this was a a crypto mining
play in 2019 that somehow failed because
of a storm on Halloween in 2020, right?
I'm like, is this insurance fraud? Then
they got into doing an energy upgrade
scam. Then they got into doing an
appliance recycling scam. Oh, I guess
there are one of the same. Then they got
into applying for a crypto exchange
license in Lithuania. And then they got
into biotech and doing drugs.
Somebody's doing drugs here. But really
what what old five is, you know, which I
have a support line for the stock at
zero. I think it's going to zero. It's
going bankrupt. Really what it is, it's
just a rugpole of people who see a video
on Fox News of the Trump family going,
"Hey, hey, you know, we're going to
revolutionize finance." I'm like, "Guys,
you know, this is where I issued my
warning. Right here is where I issued my
warning. You could look back and look at
the dates. I issue my warning. I'm like,
this is a scam. It is a scam. That's it.
All they're doing is issuing stock at
Alt 5 to buy World Liberty Financial
Token." Why would you buy World Liberty
Financial Token? It's to provide exit
liquidity. So that way the poor saps
watching Fox News going, "Oh, Donald
Trump's gonna revolutionize finance,
honey." They put their money into the
scam and then it goes down AND THEY'RE
LIKE, "OH, WHAT THE HECK? What's going
down? This is this is a rough ride,
honey." Well, no duh. Did you read the
financials? Did you read the business?
It's a fully disclosed scam is my
opinion on it. Like, I don't think I
don't think they misinformed anyone. I
think they were blatantly blunt in their
financial statements, but not on Fox
News. On Fox News is we're going to the
moon, boys and girls. So, I think stuff
like this is dragging down the whole
crypto ecosystem. Like, I also think
that Stretch is probably going to go
down as a Ponzi scheme, uh, STRC, you
know, which is one of the feeder funds
for, uh, Michael Sailor Strategy. Uh,
and so it's not a surprise I put in
Sailor. It's not a surprise that
strategy right now is selling for less
than NAV. You know, they've got $56
billion of Bitcoin. They're trading for
$49 billion. It's because you have sort
of this anti-treasury momentum. You
know, all momentum comes down. The
anti-treasury momentum is leading to a
sell-off in crypto. That's my opinion. I
don't actually think it's a fundamental
leading indicator of recession because
while I do think we have a 50-50 shot of
going into recession, I think if we go
into recession, Bitcoin is going to go
down way more. So will stocks, you know,
risk assets will go down a lot. Interest
rates will come down a lot, so it'll be
great. You know, I actually think it'll
be great for uh real estate, but a very
specific kind of real estate. In fact,
here, look, if you go to reinvest.co,
Co. Uh, scroll past the reinvest AI
product. Scroll past invest in AI and
reinvest. I think it's right here. Our
real estate. I put it. Did I put it
here? Yeah, here. See? High quality,
high growth, slowbuild locations. That's
almost where all of our real estate is.
And I really want you to think about
that phrase. High quality, high growth.
That's where the jobs are, but slow
build. So what happens when you keep
supply low but people kept coming in? So
demand up, supply low, and then add to
that fuel lower rates. What do you think
happens? It's it's like shaking up a can
of soda and then opening it. It's going
to explode up. That that's my take. You
know, that's obviously I mean we don't
it doesn't matter to us because we don't
have any debt on our real estate. Like
we have literally no bank debt. We don't
charge fees. We don't have like
acquisition or disposition or all this
like bull crap fees that all these funds
are doing. We're a real estate and AI
company. That's it. You can see what our
AI is and what we're doing and you can
see the properties we own. There are
like 12 more I need to add to this list
because we just bought like 11 or 12
properties. So, we'll have to add to
this list, but whatever. So, point being
I like kind of bullish honestly between
now and and D9. Now, maybe I'll be
wrong. you know, people like I did this
in April as well. In April, I'm like,
hey, like tariffs are bad, but we're not
going to see the effects of those
tariffs until a while in the future.
It's going to take 6 to 12 months for us
to see those effects. And then I said,
so, you know, strategy could actually be
buying and then just set a trailing stop
if you're nervous. Like last week, I
bought the dip, uh, you know,
reallocating to my top 10 stocks to buy
for the next 10 years. And you know, my
vision in April was that it's going to
take a while for the bad news to hit.
And trailing stops, if you're nervous,
are a great tool for getting in because
if you're nervous, worst case, you set
your limit to get out, right? Topic for
a different video, though. Now, there
are some things that are bad, but people
don't pay attention to these bad things.
Like, for example, the Chicago M&I
business barometer index indicates that
employment is falling at a faster pace.
This is bad. We know this is the
problem. Backlog of orders worst since
March of 2009. That's not good. Overall
index down since May of 2020, worst
since May of 2024, and it's seen as a
leading indicator. That's all bad. It
could be though because we had a lot of
inventory building during the tariff
disaster, right? So, I want you to think
about that. You build up inventory
during the tariff disaster. Uh, you
know, all the taco and the summer and
everything. people are buying like crazy
because they're trying to get ahead of
the um you know increasing in pri
increases in price. So now all of a
sudden you're kind of seeing a give
back. Retail sales for September are
trash. Chicago M&I is bad. That's not
good. Uh but some of that could be a
normalization post the COVID craziness.
So it's not a foregone conclusion that
it's definitely bad. Certainly not
near-term bad. Uh, quick shout out by
the way. I just saw Man Manuel, you just
joined. Uh, lifetime access to the
foundation membership. Reinvest AI.
Robert joined. Ryan joined. Thomas
joined. Marshall joined. Benjamin
joined. You all just joined Reinvest AI.
A Oh, there's Ashford. Ashford joined
the Meet Kevin membership. That Black
Friday sale. Uh, there's another Meet
Kevin membership. But most of y'all
Reinvest AI. Wow. Hopping off on that.
Well, thank you for joining. But anyway,
going back to here, then of course you
still have the private credit disasters,
right? I mean MIT thinks AI can replace
11.7% of the labor force. All this is by
the way in the Meet Kevin app. Um bond
rating agency expects more defaults in
2026. We talked about Jay Clayton and
this pipeline of defaults still coming.
These are all bearish things for 26. the
depreciation, Michael Bur issue, private
credit, liquidity problems, the slow
bleed of labor, all of those are real
issues that we're going to have to get
through between now and the end of 2026.
If we can get through those, hey, JP
Morgan will be right. You know, we could
boom this this article here about bull
case uh 20% up by 2027. Yeah. Uh and and
we see that in their JPM outlook. uh
their JPM outlook for 2026. Remember
what they're very enthusiastic about uh
in investment wise. Let me just get to
the bottom line of this because we had
covered this one before. Uh they say the
biggest risk right now is not having
exposure to transformational technology.
I think that's a little bit of a sales
pitch uh for you know they they argue
like could there be an AI bubble? Yes,
but there's a bigger risk not being a
part of the bubble. [laughter]
But the four opportunities they say are
MAG 7, which I actually think will be
most secure in a uh, you know, in a
recession. Like you're still going to
they're still going to go down, but
they're not going to go bankrupt, right?
Uh, at least we don't think so. I mean,
I guess Tesla's part of there, you know,
[laughter] see how much money they blow
on XAI. But anyway, uh, they talk here
number two opportunity. uh they see
networking equipment, transformers, who
knows maybe Micron, SanDisk, Vertive,
right? MP is basically what they're
talking about. I actually also mentioned
over here uh likely less risky than Fun
Play, Chipotle, Home Depot, the consumer
stocks, but those consumer stocks are in
a hole. And since I wrote this, I wrote
this, when did I write this? I wrote
this ah when did I last look at this? I
think I looked at this like a month ago.
Uh it's probably like three weeks ago.
you know, consumer stocks still come
down quite a bit. Uh, but then the other
things they look at big, look at this,
this was before the Gemini and TPU
boost. Big companies like Google may
compound AI integration faster. The
vertical integration, we literally
foreshadowed it right here. We wrote it
down. Very interesting cuz they wrote
cloud businesses of Microsoft and Google
are vertically integrated and I picked
Google out of them. So that was a few
weeks ago. That's why you got to
subscribe and watch the whole videos. Uh
oh and and since then we have launched
our AI beta product at house hack.com. I
mentioned that up here. Uh and we
actually did a lifetime membership
instead of two to four years. Uh so
that's kind of cool. That's at house
hack.com. What do we have here? Private
credit credit companies. So yeah, we're
basically hearing here mag 7 best
upside. Um, you know, there was some
super micro enthusiasm.
They said, uh, yolo into private
opportunities like GPT, anthropic shares
is what they said or robotics. You know,
that's that's kind of what they argued
here. Although we did get a big Google
shout out there before the TPU Google
announcement. So that was in the JPM
piece. Mind you, they also talk real
assets as a a store of value. So, I was
actually impressed because they do talk
about real estate as well as a hedge
against inflation.
Uh and uh yeah, here the housing market
shortage. So, they spent quite a bit
talking about the benefits of investing
in real assets like real estate. And of
course, I did the the you know,
shameless plug, real assets such as
house hack. Yes, that was the JP Morgan
piece. That's really the foundation for
why you're seeing that 20% bull target
over there. Now, some institutions this
morning are talking about, you know,
they referenced the Bitcoin slide here
as well. Deutsche Bank talks five
reasons for the Bitcoin slide. They say,
uh, a drop in equities and risk
sentiment. That's temporary though.
That's greed and fear problem. You've
got hawkish turn in US monetary policy.
Okay, whatever. uh like that's already
flipped to bullish between now and
December 10th because you know we're
expecting the rate cut now. So yes,
power went bearish now things are going
positive. So you expect some bullish
reversal here, right? Outflows from from
crypto vehicles profit taking. Yes. So I
say that IBIT is really losing its
virginity uh of a market correction. So,
uh, that's because IBIT has never been
through a 30% decline in Bitcoin prices.
So, it's not a surprise you're seeing
the largest outflows for this product
because it's the first time they've
actually experienced a 30% decline. You
know, Bitcoin actual holders have
already been through this many times
before. So, you know, not really a big
deal there. Uh and then TS Lombard
uh they do talk about uh weak corporate
tax payments uh for September. Not
bullish potentially because of the
normalization post the tariff pull
forward. Uh they talk, you know, a
little bit about how Trump will probably
lose uh the Republican majority in
Congress next year. I actually generally
see a stalemate in Congress as bullish.
Uh we see you know I see the tactical
rally between now and D9. What else did
they mention here? Drop in margins.
Margins and employment and wage growth
declining are the longerterm issues.
It's basically what um TS Lombard here
is saying as sort of like a little
recession warning sign. And it's fair,
totally reasonable. It's like I was
looking analyzing a little bit earlier.
Why is workday stock down 9% and why has
it gone nowhere in 5 years? I think it's
mostly just because people are nervous
about the labor market because there was
nothing that I saw on the earnings call
that suggested nervousness and they
actually beat and raised on their
numbers. So, uh you know it's just
people are aware that we are going
through a slowb blade in the labor
market. Look at that Dave and Busters
man up 7% again. We've been talking
about this, I think, every day since
Friday in our uh course member live
streams in the morning, which remember,
you pay once, you get lifetime access to
those course memberships over at
meetke.com. We've had members since, you
know, 2017 in there. Uh somebody this
morning mentioned, I've been here since
2019, you know, and it's uh see people
mention that all the time, but that one
I saw specifically this morning. That's
great. You get a lot of value out of
that. That's at meet.com. Black Friday
coupons live. Uh Google
the one thing I want to end with is uh
you want to watch Google a little bit.
So Google ran 10% since the TPU
announcement. Okay, 10% on the TPU
announcement is insane. It literally ran
an AMD an entire AMD. It ran up on the
Google announcement or on the TPU
announcement. That's kooky dooked. Uh
however, it is a little bit of a risk
gauge. You know, if Google breaks out of
331, it means we're going uber bullish.
Everything's going green again. We're
going to the moon.
Google being kind of flat to negative is
a little bit like, you know, people are
cautious. People are diversifying.
People are raising cash. people got, you
know, caught with a tail between their
legs on leveraged ETFs and margin and
they're a little gunshy about chasing,
you know, the the momentum cuz there's
no other way to describe a 10% increase
in the stock when EPS might
fundamentally move 3% over the next 2
years on on a TPU inclusion. To say that
they deserve a full AMD buildin here is
is is just wild. Uh, so this is probably
healthy that it's not memeing more.
[laughter] Uh, but anyway, this gives
you a breakdown of everything uh, that's
going on. Uh, and then of course, always
remember, go check out the product. We
got reinvest.co or house hack.com. Same
company. You could learn about the AI
product, what you get now versus what
you get in the future. Keep in mind, we
have a lot of development and future
phases. So, it's a very early uh,
release product that comes out in
December. You could read what's coming
next year, what we're in process on
building and what's out now. What's out
now is obviously very limited relative
to what's coming out. But uh what's
coming out, you know, once those
features come out, we expect to raise
the price. Raise raise.
So uh anyway, check that out over at
houseack.com or reinvest. And then of
course uh remember that you could also
get into the alpha report by going to
mekevin.com. You get that reinvest
course as well, which I'll be dropping
next week. uh a continuation of Trump
economics and a bunch of new lectures
which is very exciting. Some
diversification, debt, trading, finance
for children, insurance, liabilities,
entities, real estate, long-term wealth,
and this is in addition to all the other
courses as [music] well. So, pretty
exciting.
>> Why not advertise these things that you
told us here? I feel like nobody else
knows about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes.
>> Congratulations, man. You have done so
much. People love you. People look up to
you.
>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. [music] Meet Kevin. Always
great to get your take.
