The Next 50% Crash is Coming FAST | FLASHING Warning from Wall Street.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Gotta Give the bear report and there are
red flags in the bear report personally
I would just want to be up front I don't
think they're as Salient as the Bears
are making them out to be but I want to
tell you what the Bears are saying
because you know me I'm always looking
for the Achilles heel and I think every
investor and Company owner or startup
founder has to look at their Achilles
heels because if you're not you're going
to get blindsided so it's important that
we give some Credence to the Bears even
if we think they're loony you gotta
respect them and you still have to be
willing to go have a beer with the Bears
and I'm willing to have a beer with
anyone so let's get started nobody knows
beer like I do
anyway so Morgan Stanley says in their
opinion it's good news that earnings
estimates are finally moving in the
right direction down and are reflecting
the story of negative operating leverage
and the sign that earnings forecasts are
finally turning negative year over year
however Morgan Stanley and their bear
report tells us that the bad news is the
earnings estimates are well Off the Mark
as if our forecasts were to be correct
so Morgan Stanley is making the argument
that folks listen to Michael burry
Michael burry is right that's what
Morgan Stanley is saying Morgan Stanley
is shouting at you screaming and saying
earnings are going to come down and that
is going to crush equities and you
should be prepared because the second
half of the bear face is the crushing of
valuations because earnings are going
down now be very clear the first is your
multiple trading for 15x 18x right you
get a multiple compression you come down
from 25 times earnings to say 15 times
earnings that's a big Crush in terms of
valuation in fact going from 15 to 20
represents basically a 40 decline the
second half in other words the next 50
percent decline is when er like EPS goes
down because then you're multiplying a
smaller number by a smaller multiple and
boom you get your second half paying so
why does Morgan Stanley feel this way
well let's look at some of the sectors
from here we're going to jump around the
report a little bit and get to the best
part as noted last week EPS growth this
quarter is negative for the first time
since the coveted recession out of
quarter one estimates or uh out quarter
one estimates oh forward quarter one
estimates are falling at the fastest
Pace since 2020 and forward EPS growth
is now negative confirming the earnings
recession has arrived further the
decline in S P 500 margin estimates
since the start of the year is the worst
since the great financial crisis and
more of a macro cost context we also
highlight that the cross asset strategy
team so basically the people at Morgan
Stanley uh argue that we have just
entered the downturn phase which is
supportive of the notion that the macro
backdrop is deteriorating
bottom line we don't advise waiting for
the obvious signal the bear Market rally
is over we recommend positioning now in
anticipation of the Moment of Truth
before it's obvious and too late to move
in any real size in short timing is
everything okay this is like the most
bearish report I've seen in a while and
it like this is pretty bearish they're
basically it'll telling you like shit's
about to hit the fan you better start
shorting the market and part of me feels
like they're kind of like the frustrated
Bears who just haven't figured out their
identity yet and they're like damn it we
got caught offside so terribly in
January the market has to go down more
and they throw up charts like the
following see they say the hope for a
pet fed pivot is dwindling and
fundamentals are deteriorating they seem
to totally ignore that consumers have
12.8 thousand dollars of f excess
savings built up compared to the usual
two and a half to five thousand dollars
they seem to completely ignore that
analysis from Bank of America and
basically what they say we got to give
Credence to it okay what they say is
look the market rallied for a Fed pivot
in June of 2022 then crashed it hoped it
rallied for a Fed pivot in September and
then crashed in like August and
September and then crashed it rallied in
December and hope or in November for
hopes of a Fed pivot and then basically
crashed in December as a people were tax
loss harvesting as well now what I did
is I highlighted green circles showing
you kind of the bottoms in those areas
that they've highlighted for hopes for a
pet fed pivot you actually noticed at
the bottom in December was not as low as
the October bottom for the S P 500 but
they're making the argument that we're
basically just in another bear Market
rally and that it's going to come down
because the fundamentals are falling
because earnings are weaker than they
appear and everything's going to be end
up being worse Tech earnings were weaker
than appreciate dated this quarter and
they show you how negative everything is
look they're not wrong earnings are
going down and if it's just hopes of a
Fed pivot that's popping up the market
yeah we're probably going to leg down
again the only counter that I have to
this is the belief that markets were
actually selling off for fear of a Paul
volcker experience in a wage price
spiral which in my other videos I've
already made very clear I do not think
we're running into a wage price spiral
but I will tell you I think that the
Bears are getting very frustrated
because Mike Wilson who's known as like
the most famous bear of Wall Street from
Morgan Stanley has to tell us a story to
make us feel more bearish I'm just going
to read you some parts of this
while scaling Mount Everest has some
highly technical aspects the most
dangerous feature is its sheer size the
peak is three thousand feet above the
start of the death zone the altitude at
which oxygen pressure is insufficient to
sustain human life for an extended
period of time many fatalities in the
High Altitude mountaineering area or
have been caused by the death zone
either directly through loss of vital
functions or indirectly by wrong
decisions made under stress or physical
weakening that led to accidents this is
the perfect analogy for where Equity
investors find themselves today and
quite frankly where they've been many
times over the past decades more
specifically either by choice or out of
necessity investors have followed the
stock market to dizzying Heights once
again as liquidity AKA oxygen allows
them to climb into a region where they
know they shouldn't go and can't live
very long the climb in pursuit of the
ultimate topping out of greed assuming
they will be able to descend without
catastrophic consequences but the oxygen
eventually runs out and those who ignore
the risk get hurt
in this most recent Ascent which we
began in October from a much safer place
of valuations at forward 15 times
earnings and then Equity risk premium of
270 bips was a much more reasonable rise
however by December the air started
getting thin again with multiples of the
S P 500 forward sitting at 18 times and
risk premium down to 225 bips and
remember we lose many climbers climbing
in the death zone so basically while the
narratives continue going that the FED
is going to pause at some point we
believe we've reached to Heights where
people are now so delusional that
they're talking about a no Landing
scenario and basically the bottom line
is the bear Market rally that began in
October from reasonable prices and low
expectations has morphed into a
speculative frenzy based on the fat
pivot that isn't coming while the
economic situation appears to have
improved that the margin
Lord uh like I hate to say it but these
Bears quite frankly sound desperate
like chill the F out like look I get it
you screwed up for January okay now
don't get me wrong I want to be very
clear yes the market can continue to
like lower
but I am making the bet that the reason
the market has collapsed as fast it is
as it did in 2022 is because everybody's
like oh my gosh we're about to get a
wage price spiral and we're about to get
Paul volckerd you know and and it's
gonna suck like nobody likes wants to
take you know take a beating from Paul
volcker nobody wants that uh and I think
that's why the Market's uh sold off as
much as they did just because we have a
slight break over the 200 a day moving
average I don't think makes the markets
a speculative frenzy or in thin air of
the Death Zone look if we were back to
like highs I'd be like yeah this is like
nutty and this is stupid but just
because we're you know back to like
maybe slightly above the 200-day moving
average which has collapsed uh I don't
think we're in a speculative frenzy I
mean quite frankly if we go to a
Fibonacci retracement and we try to go
to a top at about 405 and a bottom on
QQQ of 257 we're literally getting
rejected in the 30 percent range and
look at this here's here's the Fibonacci
curve and you could see us almost
perfectly getting rejected by the FIB
like we are still in the bottom third of
the Fibonacci retracement so I don't
think this is us in the Death Zone look
if QQQ was like 373 I'd be like yeah
okay maybe he's got a point but I don't
know it feels a little desperate to be
this this call for like the earnings
crash is going to crush you but don't
get me wrong I
mean cognizant that probably the worst
place to be right now is in Staples that
ran as much as they did last year
because Staples I think are going to get
hit hardest by by margin compression
because they're not going to have the
big PP the big pricing power uh that uh
that other companies will uh by the way
uh and that's this pissed people off so
uh because it pissed people off I'm
gonna play it anyway uh people got mad
at me for showing the shadow of my my
big peepee so now I'm just gonna play it
for you here on video there's really no
sound but there you go there's the
shadow sorry if you're listening on uh
audio that's gonna be a little awkward
but anyway there you go I I did it I
showed it I said I would show it and I
did all right anyway so uh so yeah I I
don't know I'm not that bearish I'm
really not that bearish
