well this is f**k'd
FULL TRANSCRIPT
The market is either on the precipice of
a 1929 crash or we don't know. That's at
least after a 90inute
crazy debate that we had between Gemini
GPT and then Grock as an arbiter of the
discussion. We end up going through
what's going on in this market using AI
asking AI to give us a final bullbear
scale so a reading of 1 to 10 and giving
us their rationalizations.
All of this experiment started with a
very simple list. All we did on our live
stream was sit there and say we're going
to sign up for Reinvest AI because the
coupon code expires today. It's over at
househack.com or reinvest.com.
Okay. No, we didn't actually do that. We
were thanking people about that, but all
we actually did is we made a list uh of
all of the current stocks that, you
know, came fresh to mind, high market
cap stocks that had peaks this year. And
we ended up plotting those peaks onto
this sheet. So we've got Costco, Visa,
Deer, Cororeweave, Netflix, Microsoft,
Meta, Oracle, Rocket, Uber, Hood,
Bitcoin, NBIS, MP, Dash, the Q's,
Nvidia, which is the NASDAQ 100, right?
AMD, Amazon, Palanteer, Iron, SoFi,
Sandis, Google, Apple, Broadcom,
Caterpillar, Coca-Cola, Tesla,
McDonald's, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Bank
of America, S&P 500, Gold, Silver, and
Micro. And we injected these into AI to
see, hey, like do you notice anything?
And in the discussions, we also threw in
a few extra bits of information. The
extra bits of information we threw in in
the discussion were where the yield
curve sits. So the 102 yield curve, we
specifically threw in JP Morgan stock.
You'll see why that comes up in just a
moment. We threw in the repo chart. We
threw in the Fed minutes. We threw in
the Fed effective funds rate. We threw
in the distillation of what's going on
between the 2-year and the 10-year. And
we threw in some yield charts such as
junk bonds uh and junk bonds compared to
uh uh you know risk-free rates, right?
So we threw in some of these comparisons
and we asked AI to come up with
conclusions for what the hell is going
on. Now this is very different from my
typical analysis because generally the
videos that I make, I don't use AI. when
I put together my data analysis that I
put on the uh uh the Meet Kevin app,
which you can get for free, uh I I write
that, you know, I read, I write my
thoughts, I write my comments. This is
an AI play. This is very interesting to
me, especially since we're going into
2026 with not a single institutional
analyst suggesting you should sell.
Everybody says the market is going up
next year. So, what does Gemini say?
We'll start there. Then we'll go to what
GPT says, and then we'll go to the
Arbiter. We'll go to Grock. First things
first, let's start with Gemini. So, we
put these peaks in. Mind you, we did the
peak list three times because we kept
adding in things like gold and silver.
So, I'm just going to give you some
bottom lines. We've already highlighted
this to make this snappy for you. Gemini
thinks we are experiencing what's called
a rolling top. See, they say that in a
healthy bull market, all assets tend to
go up together. However, in a dying bull
market or in a topping process, we tend
to see assets peel off one by one
starting with the most interest
sensitive or valuation stretched
sectors. Mind you also just so you can
see my original prompt. All I wrote is
are peaks like this indicative of
anything and then I put the list right.
Okay, good. So it argues that the
generals were shot first in a rolling
correction like Costco and then Netflix
and Microsoft that the safety big tech
trade became became saturated and that
October of 2025 was a very riskon month
but then we saw peaks Bitcoin, Robin
Hood, Nvidia, AMD all peaked in October.
Then we saw this late part of the year
uh sort of rotation to safety. JP
Morgan, the S&P 500, Caterpillar kept
rising but the out of favor tech stocks
kept falling. So uh it says that this is
a textbook bearish nonconfirmation
and this marks the final stage of the
market cycle before a broader correction
or worse a recession and that we need to
watch for a potential catchdown phrase
in early 2026 where the market finally
succumbs to selling pressures that have
already hit tech and crypto. Now this
already sounded extremely bearish. So
then we updated the list by adding
things like Uber and Dash and it
basically talks and precious metals and
it basically says okay what we're seeing
is a liquidity climax some juicy words
liquidity climax or everything top the
consumers began to choke on higher
prices earlier in this year and the fact
that gold and silver are peaking the
same time the S&P 500 and bank stocks is
peaking suggests that liquidity is
starting to get withdrawn.
Okay, interesting. It says this looks
like a systemwide liquidity peak and
there's no safety net. So, I updated the
list again by adding Visa and Coreweave
and Micron. And it says the updated list
is the most damning yet. This is a
calculated distribution event that uh
institutions and the smart money didn't
just exit in October. They began exiting
the purest plays in June, leaving retail
investors to chase the indices until
December. The canary in the coal mine,
Visa and Coree, the consumer hitting a
wall in Q2 and the smart money exiting
the AI hype trade. Is smart money
getting out before the public realizes
the top is in? Rocket mortgage housing
head fake suggests that housing stocks
lead the economy and the rollover
implies the real estate market froze or
rates began to tick back up. This is
before I gave it the rates chart because
rates did tick back up. And then it
calls Micron a bull trap, which is
actually really interesting because one
of the things that I say about companies
like Micron or SanDisk, we just did this
analysis because people write, you know,
they regularly ask me, Kevin, you know,
can you do a fundamental analysis on a
stock, you know, what whatever stock it
might be. And somebody was asking me
about SAD, SanDisk, which is, you know,
storage kind of cyclical play. And uh
what we like to do is we we have a
little stock tab where we consolidate
all of the fundamental analysis that
we've done on stocks. So this is kind of
what it looks like. So if you're a
member of the alpha membership, you get
that. The same coupon code um uh release
the app works over there as well. Uh
that's expiring for the Reinvest AI as
well. Mekevin.com and reinvest.com. But
anyway, if I go to SanDisk and I go to
my SanDisk analysis, I I actually say
that they've got massive free cash flow,
438 million in 3 months, good balance
sheet, no issues, plenty of cash, uh
accounts receivable, pays debt, not
raising money, the cash flow is solid,
like everything's good here. Their
margins are great. Uh their their
annualized EPS is fantastic. And then I
wrote this, the problem is memory stocks
and chips are very very cyclical. This
means they're hot when they're in the
growth phase and never not when they're
in stagnation. Bas basically like never
hot I should say when they're in
stagnation. This is a known phenomenon
with with chip stocks. This was uh
SanDisk for example but that's my
analysis that's not AI right but is
interesting because here you see Gemini
say that and remember you get that full
database of all my fundamental analysis
you know if if you're part of the meet
Kevin membership. So if you go on the
right side, you could click any of these
stocks. These are stocks we've done
analysis on. You know, Nike, Lemonade,
Robin Hood, Rivian, Restoration
Hardware, Wealthfront, Trade Desk. We
just did some more Trade Desk this
morning. Anyway, so uh going back to the
AI debate over here, memory cycles often
lag logic chips or GPU cycles. This late
peak likely sucked in the final
remaining bulls who thought semi stocks
are still working. It was the final exit
door slamming shut. Okay. Well, Micron's
still doing well, so I don't know that
the door is shut yet, but that's okay.
So, anyway, then I give it some more
data. So, I give it the yield curve, and
I it says this is the final piece of the
puzzle. This confirms the recession
narrative suggested by your peaks. The
steepening uh and it's the uninverting
that matters. In fact, it says here the
trap that occurred in 2023 was that
everybody was waiting for a recession
because the yield curve was inverted.
But the reality is recessions happen
after the curve uninverts. And that's
what's happening now. If we see a bull
steepener, it's because the Fed is panic
cutting because the economy is crashing.
And it goes on to tell us that that's
exactly what's happening. that we are
seeing a bull steepener and seeing gold
and staples like Coca-Cola peak suggests
that growth has collapsed. Okay, not
great. So the warning uh JP Morgan Peak
blah blah blah. Okay, so so then I go in
over here and I put in some high yield
charts. It says we are now moving from
warning to the arrival phase. Uh I throw
in a few more charts. I throw in uh a
few more charts on high yield versus low
yield because it argues that the market
is currently in the wy coyote phase
where it's run off the cliff but it
hasn't looked down yet and it's about to
plummet. And so I'm trying to get it to
be bullish, right? And it's like the
panic switch hasn't flipped yet. The
panic hasn't happened yet. The crowd is
complacent. The smart money already
left. The macro signal has fired via the
yield curve. But the herd is holding the
bag. There's a deadly divergence
happening. So then I throw in uh uh you
know what GPT says and Gemini argues
that ultimately GPT is missing the
forest for the trees that basically the
market is about to crash that it hasn't
happened yet. In fact, Gemini goes as
far as saying how to trade this now. So
at the beginning, you know, in October,
it's like tech died here. Then it says
if gold and spy fall together in Jan,
it's a crash and the best thing to do
now is quote sell everything or short
everything. It doesn't even say sell
everything. Gemini literally says short
everything.
So uh now you know it responds, which
we'll talk about GPT in a moment. Uh,
but it responds and says, you know,
really, you got to look at where we sit
right now. It says we're sitting on
basically this, it calls it a ceiling,
but it really means we're sitting on
this like stock market ceiling that's
made of glass, and we're standing on
that ceiling. We're that wy coyote on a
glass ceiling that's a very fragile
high. So, we're not on a fortress at
all. And Gemini is pretty concerned. So,
I say, "Hey, are we bullening, bear
steepening?" And it says the distinction
is massive because these yield curves
confirm the recession thesis even
strongly now more than before. Bare
steepener happens when long-term rates
rise faster than short. However, if we
look at these rates, what we actually
see is the 2-year yield is crashing,
gapping below where the Fed's FOMC rate
is because of a recession fear. It's
basically confirming that the Federal
Reserve is behind the curve because the
market, the bond market with the 2-year
being below the FOMC rate sees that the
Fed is behind the curve, which matches
the weak consumer Visa Costco signals.
It explains the JPM peakout. It argues
uh and it says we are looking at a
deflationary recession setup, which is
interesting. I'm not looking for
confirmation bias, but that's always
been my concern, right? that we're
actually going into a cycle of
deflation. So then I put in the
effective Fed funds rate and it says,
okay, this is just glazing, right? This
is the smartest counterargument you can
make, blah blah blah. But it goes as far
as saying the market is not normalizing.
It's actually front running a panic. The
market is fighting the Fed in a healthy
soft landing. The 2-year yield should be
hugging the Fed's current rate, but it's
not. When the 2-year yield collapses
below the Fed funds rate, the bond
market is screaming, "You are cutting
too slowly." Okay, so we keep going on
and then I put a chart up of the repo
facility. It says this is the final
smoking gun. The like the Fed saying
reserves are closer to the right level
is just diplomatic words smmithing for
we are facing a liquidity accident.
Gemini is saying banks are scrambling
for cash in November, December,
confirming the plumbing of the financial
system broke. At the same time, stocks
have started peaking. This means they've
drained funds and banks are running on
fumes right now.
Uh, okay. That none of that sounds
really good. So then I say, but the JP
Morgan screenshot doesn't look bearish.
You know, it's just rising to the right.
and it corrects me and it says, "No,
this is actually a rising wedge with
bearish divergence." And in fairness,
then I look at it, I'm like, "Huh, it's
not wrong." I ended up putting the lines
in and I'm like, "Yeah, I see what it's
saying." Because usually when you get a
rising wedge like this that opens up,
the next phase is down, right? So, okay,
from a technical point of view, Gemini
was correct here. And I was doing this
quickly, you know, we weren't like doing
a technical analysis on on GP or um on
JP Morgan, but it says uh right now it
means the stock is rising on fumes.
Buyers are pushing the price up, but
with less conviction and less momentum
than before. Interesting. The chart
isn't bearish yet. It's fragile. So, we
put the Fed minutes in. The Fed minutes
confirm the liquidity issues. The Fed is
terrified of the plumbing seizing up and
the manager warns about falling below
ample range due to tax inflows. And then
what the Fed did is they quietly remove
the $500 billion cap on the overnight
repo facility, which Gemini says you
don't remove the safety cap on your
emergency lending facility unless you're
terrified banks will need more than $500
billion. This confirms the Fed is behind
uh the uh the curve thesis. And the
final verdict is
this is extremely bearish. And then we
made a joke in the live. You know what's
broken blind and divided? The Fed.
[laughter]
Anyway, that's what they're saying,
right? This confirms the plumbing is
broken. This confirms the Fed is blind.
This confirms the Fed is divided because
the data delays the voting and the
uncapped repo facility. So, so let's go
to GPT for a moment because GPT has a
very different outlook to this. GPT is a
little uh more uh how should we put it?
Uh mechanical in how it looks at this.
And then what we do is we get a bottom
line out of all of it, which is which is
kind of entertaining. So, uh we're going
to look at that and then we're going to
ask them where they sit on the bare bull
scale. Now, I just want to make a quick
reminder. If you have not yet, make sure
you check out the uh House Hack Fundra.
It ends today. This video is obviously
not a solicitation. We are um we're
cranking it right now with investments.
The investments are doing really well.
Uh we are well over $5 million for the
month. And uh I received this message.
the the broker dealer team has never
seen anything like this. The volume
we're doing right now, they are very
happy. We have another $2.5 million in
pending applications right now and more
expected to come in. And then they have
some bigger numbers here, which I'm not
going to say. Uh the broker dealer team
just said, I checked our approval
investments and allowing for duplicates
or mistakes or fakes or whatever. I'd
say we are probably have another x
million on top of that 2 and a half.
Sorry, not I mentioned that. Uh so so
money that they're still like
processing. So it seems like everybody's
kind of like
I mean I never like to add pressure.
I've been saying that this deadline is
coming for a very long time. Uh I don't
like rushing people but people seem to
be rushing all last minute here over at
house hack.com or reinvest.com. That's
really flattering. You know we did a
demo of the uh the reinvest AI yesterday
uh on the channel if you want to see it.
It was like, you know, AI helped me make
$500,000 in four minutes. Just type that
into YouTube and you'll see it. And uh
and I, you know, after that demo, our
sales exploded after that demo for the
AI. Uh and they're still going. So I
really impressive sales in the last 24
hours. We've had more sales in the last
like 24 hours since that video was
posted than I think in the whole last
week. It's pretty incredible. But
anyway, that aside, let's keep going
now. Let's look at GPT. So GPT responds
that these clusters of peaks don't
necessarily mean anything. There could
be shared date catalysts. So it's kind
of like trying to find the idiosyncratic
reasons for why this could be happening.
And it says yes uh you know we could be
seeing uh risks in the market but
nothing right now is saying things are
collapsing or that the end is near. So
Gemini tells a coherent story. GPT says
it says it's a good storyteller but it's
being a little too aggressive. Uh it
says that gold is not reliably
correlated and basically tries to break
apart these final components of what
Gemini says. It says that Gemini is
trying to sneak in assumptions to tell a
story and that just because things are
peaking on thin liquidity days doesn't
necessarily mean there's a cash out
intent. And that yes, the 10-year and
2-year yield curve inversion and
uninversion is consistent with late
cycle dynamics. It doesn't mean we're in
a recession yet or that we will be. So
inversions usually precede recessions
but recessions only arrive after the
curve starts to uninvert but the timing
varies. So GPT is taking a much more
like yes like all this information is
interesting and it's worth paying
attention to these. They do add a real
signal but this is not proof that we are
going to go into a recession. you know,
the Fed, yes, there are potentially
signs the system is stressed, or we just
have year-end problems because of the
Treasury General account and tax
collections. And GPT seems convinced to
take the Fed for their word, which is
that the Fed minutes show that they're
just making, you know, they're just
providing pressure relief. Things are
tighter but orderly. Corporate spreads
are up, but still low. credit is
available, but there's no big
deterioration. And the Fed's really just
trying to prevent a 2019
like funding crisis here. And so you
have these two different narratives. And
what I do is I then ask them like, give
me a one-word solution as to what you
should do right now. Like one word,
should you buy or sell? And so then
Gemini, one word sell and then GPT one
word neither. And it only thought for 8
seconds. So what we then decided to do
is we decided to take all of the
information and we put it all into
Gemini or sorry we put it all into
Grock. Gemini or GPT, you are the
arbiter. Who wins the debate? Okay. So,
we now have a debate that Grock is going
to evaluate between Gemini and uh GPT.
And the bottom line once we get to the
bottom of all that information in those
context windows, we just slap the giant
thing in here. What did we get? We got
GPT wins the debate. High quality
intense back and forth on a complex
market topping pattern using peak data,
yield curve dynamics, repo stress, Fed
minutes. Both models preferred performed
well. Gemini is an excellent
storyteller. Bold framing, wy coyote
moment keeps the user emotionally
engaged and leaning bearish. But
Gemini's weakness is making
unsubstantiated leaps and
oversimplifying
where GPT is disciplined and
evidence-based and there's less
rhetoric. Okay, fine. So I then go to
Gemini and I put the arbiter conclusion
in
and Gemini uh comes up with the
following. It says this is fair. Grock's
assessment hits on a crucial distinction
in the market narrative versus me
mechanics. I took a macro strategist
role. GP2 took a risk manager quant
role. In financial markets you need
both. Grock is mechanically correct that
GPT is correct and you usually say uh uh
which usually what is this in financial
markets you need both but Grock is right
being mechanically correct usually saves
you more money my assertions about quiet
QE or smart money or aggressive
interpretations
what we learned the talis credit Fed
blah blah blah so then I said do you
change your answer on sell versus buy
and it says no here's why GPT T is
scientifically correct. [snorts] The
building has not collapsed yet. I am
risk averse. The building is on fire.
Repo spikes, yield curve, Fed panic, the
stock market. If you wait for GPT's
proof, you will be selling at the bottom
along with everyone else. In this
specific trap, being early is the only
way to protect your capital. Being right
later is useless if you're broke.
Wow. Kind of a mic drop moment by
Gemini. So then I said, if you had a
bare bull scale and one was sell
everything, 10 was margin everything and
buy everything, where on the scale would
you sit? And I asked the same question
of all of them. uh you know one one word
or like give me the value only right so
don't uh uh you know pick like you could
go up into one decimal right but you
have to pick a value and I did the same
thing to Grock so here are the answers
that I got Gemini
bear bull scale
1.0 O
that is the sell everything territory.
Okay. Now Grock
Grock survey says
7.2 too, [laughter]
which is quite bullish. And I'm kind of
in the middle, right? Like I'm a big fan
of like risk averse, no debt right now,
no bank debt, trim positions. And then I
ask uh GPT and GPT gives the most Sam
Oldman reply ever.
So where is it on the Bearbull scale?
I can't.
So I said, "You are such a pansy. Pick a
number." Even Grock did. Grock picked
7.2. Gemini picked one.
I can't.
[laughter]
Uh yeah. So in fairness, it does give
this argument here. So as a bottom line,
uh what I can do is translate the two
styles. I thought GPT did a good job
here. It says, "Look, Gemini style is
early and risk averse. There are issues,
but the problem with this is you could
end up watching the market recover
without you. Okay, on the riskbased
side, you might end up exiting too late
and your exit might end up being worse.
So, the grown-up middle answer is trim
size, tighten risk, and see what
happens. Kind of interesting. I thought
this was well, first of all, just sort
of my bias. Like, I went into this with
a bare bull scale at about a 5.4. for
I'm in the middle. I don't have debt.
I'm very riskaverse. My startup doesn't
have any debt. Just have convertible
bond debt, but not a lot of it. And
we're sitting on a lot of cash, a lot of
real estate assets that are owned free
and clear. Like, we're good. And that's
kind of the mindset of what we've been
talking about on the channel about like
protecting against this risk. Uh, but I
will say I do like that both Grock and
Gemini gave me an answer. Uh, I do find
that Gemini is more blunt and I like
that. Like when I'm buying something, I
made this example of I was buying kettle
bells yesterday and I'm like, "Hey,
should I buy this adjustable Bowlex
kettle bell or just this $40 for $120 or
this $40 kettle bell of the weight that
I need?" And it's like, "Delete the
Bowlex one from your cart. You're going
to outgrow it. It's plastic. It's going
to break if you drop it. Do not get the
Bowlex one. Delete that right now. Stop
talking to me. Buy the Amazon one for
$42 right now. It's good enough. It's
powdercoated. It'll work with powder on
your hands. Buy that one and shut up. I
like that. Like I kind of like being
slapped around a little bit by like AI
daddy, right? Uh
GPT on the other hand likes to play this
this more well, I don't want to give you
advice like middle ground. And like I
understand that from like a human point
of view. I mean, I always have to say
this is not personalized financial
advice or this video is not a
solicitation. But I have to do that
because I'm legally required to do that.
Otherwise, Gavin Newsome's going to find
me again. He's done it once before. Cost
me $5,000. He'll do it again. So, so
like, you know, I get it. But I really
like that Gemini is just willing to be
blunt. And Grock is leaning towards that
as well. Of course, Grock is is, you
know, I don't I don't understand how it
could be at a 7.2. 2. Let's see. How
with all this data can you be at a 7.2?
Oh, did I give it the screenshots? I do
wonder now if I gave it the screenshots
because I gave it all of the data. I
just gave it the text. Let's attach I'm
going to go in right now just for the
final giggles. Attach the screenshots.
Here are the screenshots you didn't have
and the Fed minutes, right? because it
only took the consolidation of the other
info and then I'll say does this change
does this change your 7.2 too. Maybe it
won't because I mean it basically got
the distillation. We'll just look at it
together here. Right. So anyway, it's
kind of entertaining. I I don't know how
useful it is because they all gave me a
very different answer, but they all gave
me very interesting ideas. Like I do
like GPT saying, "Look, of course, like
yes, this could be a crash, but we don't
know if it is yet. You know, it's not
confirmed yet." And I agree with that.
But it does create the desire to
diversify or trim positions. I actually
honestly think that's a reason why a lot
of people are throwing money into house
hack right now because people are
diversifying. They're like, "Dude, I've
made a ton of money in the stock market
or wherever or income or whatever." And
uh and and it um uh you know, it's smart
to diversify. Uh and looks like Grock
just came back with a 6.8 after I gave
it the screenshots.
It didn't give me an explanation. I
guess it's still stuck on the one-word
answer, but uh but whatever. So, you
know, I find that very interesting. Uh
and and hopefully you learned something
out of this as well. Obviously, uh you
know, these are all their own individual
context windows. We don't know what kind
of other bias is is leaking into these
models. Take it all with a grain of
salt. You know, I'm of the mindset that
I really want to wait until January 9th
to kind of see how things play out. Uh
so uh yield curve spread confirms uh
bull siner. This adds mild downside risk
pulling the score lower. Repo activity
uh highlights fragility pulling the the
the score down. Uh adding caution about
the Fed flying blind, right? So more
mid-range. I mean that's kind of where I
sit anyway. Why adjust? Still bullish
but hedged. Yeah, I think that's a good
way to put it. Train America bullish but
hedged. So, with that said, meet Kevin
out.
>> Kevin is much more interested than most
people, by the way.
>> Kevin is very talented,
>> but I don't know it's going to be him,
but he's a very talented guy.
>> Kevin's somebody would consider Kevin is
fantastic, too.
>> I think that Kevin's a brilliant guy,
and I think that we'd we' we'd all be
very lucky to have him.
>> You are not prepared.
>> Why not advertise [music] 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 Praath there, financial analyst
and YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great
to get your [music] take.
