oh sh*t... this is really really bad
FULL TRANSCRIPT
complete gamecher happening in
artificial intelligence and it's bad for
Nvidia stock. Now, that's going to make
me sound like an Nvidia bear. I've been
very bullish on Nvidia. Uh I own Nvidia
shares. I'm not sure like I just want to
be transparent about this. Uh this is
got me a little nervous. Uh but there's
a specific date you want to write down.
Uh it's in November. We'll go through
the exact date and why that date
matters, but it could be a game-changing
catalyst for what's going on in the chip
industry. And it's really weird because
it's totally the opposite of what we're
hearing right now from institutions.
Like for example, Oracle is blowing
money, taking on debt to blow money and
issuing stock to buy as many Nvidia
chips as they can. Remember just last
week they announced that they're buying
$40 billion of Nvidia chips. Mind you,
they're planning on spending 50 or sorry
$70 billion in capex uh you know over
the next basically 24 months including
the last about 6 months. So sort of the
past year and the next year plus or
minus $70 billion of capex spend. This
is insane that Nvidia basically makes up
nearly 60% of that and then everything
else, the racks, the buildings, the
infrastructure, the CPUs, that's the
other 41%.
So Nvidia is a huge beneficiary of this
insanity for this AI boom in capex and
it's really driving GDP. I actually
think it's probably the biggest
contributor to GDP right now. Uh, and
Goldman Sachs based on their AI
conference says the same thing. And all
this is bullish, right? So, what's
bearish? Trust me, I'm about to say
what's really bearish and it's scary. It
like it's making me nervous and and I'm
more nervous that nobody's really
talking about this. That's probably what
I'm most nervous about. But anyway,
Goldman Sachs, they're like companies
deploying capital behind AI buildout or
build out of AI remain capacity
constrained. So, in other words, we
still don't have enough chips to keep
building out all these these products.
But the problem is this is potentially a
debtfueled capex expansion right now
because companies like Oracle are like,
"Oh, wow. Our investors love it when we
borrow money or issue stock to buy more
Nvidia chips." Then Nvidia goes up. Uh
then private valuations of OpenAI go up,
the valuation of Oracle goes up,
everybody gets rich. And this makes
sense. And so a lot of people are like,
"Oh, you know, why be bearish on this?
You know, this this is this all sounds
good, right? That's what I thought as
well. And then I saw this, which I
misread when I first read it this
morning. I saw this headline. Coreweave
says Nvidia cloud contract valued at 6.3
billion. All right. Initially, it's
really easy to brush this off. It's
like, oh, cool. Okay. Core is going to
buy more chips from Nvidia because we
see these headlines all the time. At
this point, they're just dime a dozen.
But what they actually say is Coree said
its shareholder Nvidia will buy cloud
services with an initial value at $6.3
billion. In a deal announced in April of
2023 that runs through 2032, Nvidia is
required to buy any excess capacity not
used by its customers, Cororo said in a
regulatory filing on Monday. Okay,
that's a lot. So, let's digest this for
a moment. Okay, I really hate this. Let
me explain this and digest this. This
latest deal requires that Nvidia start
buying unused data center capacity.
Well, wait a minute. In order for Nvidia
to start buying unused data center
capacity, it means there's unused data
center capacity. But wait a minute. If
there's unused data center capacity,
why is Oracle, Coreweave, NBIS, Iran,
why are all of these companies, these
data centers throwing more money at
building out more capacity? If all of a
sudden we're getting our first canary in
the coal mine that we actually have too
much capacity, right? I mean, think
think about it this way. Let's come up
with an analogy. Let's say you have an
ice cream stand and you're selling ice
cream and you're on the phone going,
"Guys, guys, more more ice cream, more
ice cream. Keep ordering more ice cream.
We we need more shipments. Back up the
trucks. We need more trucks. More
trucks, more trucks, and you're standing
at the the ice cream stand and your
employee who's actually selling it to
customers is looking at the ice cream
bin and you're like, "Bro, we have so
much ice cream. some of this down here
at the bottom. It's starting to go
stale. Like, it's getting all frost
burned because the ice cream's going
stale. And I'm trying to sell the frost
burned ice cream, but I can't sell it.
And then I like the guy at the front
desk is like, "Hey, Nvidia, I need you
to buy some of this frost burned ice
cream cuz like we have too much of it.
Get rid of the old crap at the bottom."
All right, I guess fill it back up
again. We we really don't need to fill
it up again. Meanwhile, you got the guy
in the back. This is good for the stock
price of the ice cream stand. Keep the
trucks coming. Keep them coming. Hey
bankers, more loans. More loans. More
debt. Hey attorneys, another filing.
Sell some more stock. Okay. Stock
markets at all-time highs. Take
advantage of it. Sell some more stock.
Buy more chips. More debt. Let's go.
Back up the truck. You're selling,
right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We're selling the ice cream. Frost
burned ice cream. Going to Nvidia.
This is not good. This is like an early
canary in the coal mine. And trust me, I
do not want to be bearish here. I I want
my Nvidia shares to go to the moon
because there are these leftover shares
that I actually have a lot of, thousands
of, many thousands of, and I'm like,
"Oh, this is great." uh and uh like so
so I want to be bullish here but part of
me now is like oh shya right like this
sucks so the biggest concern is you
can't sell these data center products
because how the cycle plays out right
this is the cycle always plays out this
way the cycle is really easy you end up
with excess supply then you get lower
utilization then prices go down then
there's a lower return on your
investment for data centers. Then capex
goes down. Then you have lower sales at
Nvidia and Super Microcomput and TSM.
Then stock prices go down. Then people
lose their jobs. And all of that falls
onto an already weak economy. That's not
good. It all starts with the frostburned
ice cream, the excess supply. It's
always the cycle is always excess
supply. Have you ever seen Kevin? Meet
Kevin's real estate chart. Meet Kevin
real estate cycle. Let me see if I could
just Google it really quick because
there's an old Ah, yeah, there it is.
Look at this. Uh, so this is an old old
thingy here that I made this back in
like 2010. Okay, so I I drew this cycle
back in 2010. Let me put it to the
desktop here. I I wish I had a higher
resolution of it honestly, but it's it's
such an old chart from uh you know when
when I was like getting into telling
people to go buy real estate. Yeah, it's
super blurry. Uh I was telling people
that we're probably here in 2010 and you
should go buy real estate. But it always
starts I mean look at this cycle. You
could really call it the AI cycle
instead of the real estate cycle. Look
at this
uh absorption of excess supply. Oh my
gosh. the GPT moment. We're out of
chips. Oh, we don't have enough chips.
Prices skyrocket. Margins skyrocket at
Nvidia. Then it says accelerated new
construction. Build, build, build, back
up the truck. Then you get an overupp of
those data centers. That leads to low
utilization. In real estate, we call
that high vacancies. Then prices go
down. The real estate cycle could may as
well just be the business cycle or the
AI cycle. So now we're like, we're here.
We're at this accelerated new
construction phase. Literally, the real
estate cycle that I talk about in my
courses
probably applies to the AI cycle. Now,
like if you're not already part of the
Meet Kevin membership, you really should
be. Some quick calls that I want to
point out just from literally the last
few days.
One of them, well, first of all, look at
this. Okay, figure is up like to $40 and
it's skyrocketing right now. It's up
like 19% or something like that. And I
wrote last week, this is a $45 to $55
stock. Uh, Coreweave, we talked about if
we don't confirm$1249,
don't touch it. And what happens? We
don't confirm 1249. We reject, we
literally reject off of 1249. Don't
trade that up. Then in the me Kevin
membership we talk about the most
bullish thing for Tesla is popping onto
the 414 line which we bounce on twice
which is bullish and I said as long as
the Q's or as long as Tesla doesn't dump
it open the trading strategy for today
is the Q's slowly continue to slog
higher the next target is 590 on the
Q's. Now why do I mention that from the
Meet Kevin membership? Well, because I
think there's first of all obviously a
lot of value in the M Kevin membership.
But if you look at the Q's, what did the
Q's do today? The Q's literally went
straight up to 590. Well, what happened
with Tesla stock today? Well, we know
what happened with Tesla stock. It
literally went down to 414 twice. It
didn't dump open beyond our line.
Therefore, the cues were able to go to
590. and we had a double bounce at 414
which we also called that it would
likely go towards. These are the things
that you get if you're a member in the
course member liveream. So join us at
the meet Kevin um the meet Kevin
membership over at meetcaven.com. But
let's keep going with this chip analysis
because this chip analysis is a problem.
When we actually understand that this is
a cycle that ends at some point, we
start getting a little nervous because
this partnership with Coreweave is a big
red flag in my opinion. Look at this.
Nvidia was willing to enter what are
called MSAs in 2023
and they probably entered these MSAs
with other companies to get as many
sales as possible. uh MSAs
are basically these contracts, material
service agreements that guarantee that
or or I'm sorry, they call them master
service agreements that guarantee that
Nvidia will buy excess data center
capacity. Well, why would Nvidia need to
buy excess data center capacity unless
there were excess data center capacity,
right? So Nvidia now buying
uh data center capacity means Coreweave
can't sell all the data capacity.
Last week Nvidia got or or exited uh the
data center industry. What does that
mean? That means Nvidia no longer wants
to build out data centers to license the
actual data centers to you because
they're already having to buy the excess
capacity from Coree because it can't be
sold. Now, the problem is the next
earnings report is when we'll actually
get a copy of the material services or
the master services agreement. We won't
get that until November 14th. We
literally have to wait two damn months
to get this MSA.
This MSA is going to show that Nvidia
has to buy these damn chips or or the
the output from these chips through
April 13th, 2032. This is so smart by
Coreweave that they did this. And if
Cororeweave pulled it off, because I
don't necessarily think they're
particularly brilliant, but if they're
able to pull it off, then other
companies probably pulled this off as
well. It basically means that Nvidia
went out there whoring themselves out
going, "Buy our chips, take on debt, and
dilute your stocks. Buy our chips. We'll
guarantee they make money for you."
Well, that's like the perfect way to set
up a bubble. I mean, look at this. This
is Core Weef. When they IPOed, they
raised 1.4 billion by IPOing, by issuing
shares, and then they took on another $3
billion in debt, all to go buy more
Nvidia stocks. So, of course, Nvidia
wants desperately
their companies to go uh buy more Nvidia
stocks. So, whatever they can do to prop
up and enable these companies to go,
great. So, if they can dance around
like, you know, the naked heavenly
maiden and and they can go, "Hey, you
know, let's go buy more of our chips,
we'll guarantee that they're
functional." Great. But what is Jensen
Hong? There's a lot of people like, "Oh,
Kevin Jensen Wong's really smart, you
know, trust what he's doing." Yeah, I
will trust what he's doing. Jensen Huang
sells $13 million worth of shares. July
19th, Jensen sells 35 million, sorry, 37
million shares. A week earlier, Jensen
is able and has filed to sell as many as
6 million shares, which is worth a
billion dollar.
That's a lot. That's a lot of selling.
It's the opposite of what Elon Musk is
doing who just bought a billion dollars
of Tesla shares that he made that back
like instantly by pumping the stock. So,
you know, does he really m Does it
really matter? No. Uh but, you know,
it's interesting. It's it's the opposite
that's going on. So now when we look at
this material services agreement that
comes out November 14th, what we're
going to want to look at is the the big
questions now are what price is uh is
Nvidia buying uh data center capacity
for? Are they are they paying uh 2023
prices? Because prices are going to
fall. So, if they're stuck paying 2023
prices, they're going to pay over market
value. Or are they going to pay a market
value? We don't know. We don't know the
details. How much spare data center
capacity is there? Are we talking about,
you know, a day worth of extra capacity
that Cororee is making Nvidia buy? I
don't know. But this really changes the
argument because I've always said that
in the short term, Cororeweave, Nbby, I
ran, Oracle, great short-term place, but
they're long-term bag holders.
Basically, inside the bag are Nvidia
chips. The bag itself are like the
server racks like Super Micro Computer.
Super Micro is able to sell the chips.
TSM is able to sell the chips. Nvidia is
able to sell the chips. They all wash
their hands of the chips and somebody
else hold the bag holds the bag. holds
the bag are the data center plays.
Coreweave, Oracle, NBIS, INEN. So,
short-term good for them, longerterm bad
for them. But this literally flips all
of that on its head. It literally lets
Core Weave take the bag and dump it back
onto Nvidia. It's almost like a
repurchase agreement.
So, I hate this for Nvidia. Nvidia it it
now sharing in this data center capacity
marks an inflection point in artificial
intelligence. It's a red flag now. So
far nobody's really talking about this.
I saw a Doomberg reaction that said,
"Oh, this is good. It could concern e it
could ease concerns about coreweave's
overbuilding because there's a long-term
risk of overdeveloping AI
infrastructure." Yeah. No. Duh. Like of
course there's a long-term risk of
overdeveloping AI infrastructure. That's
the problem. But the fact that even the
suits aren't realizing that this is bad
for Nvidia, right? Because if there's
over capacity, if Coree is like, man,
we've got over capacity. Hey, Nvidia,
start buying back. At some point, Nvidia
is going to go, "Hey, ma'am, we'll sell
you chips, but we're not going to keep
guaranteeing we're going to buy back all
your capacity." Because if they're
buying back over capacity and they're
getting ripped off, Nvidia is going to
stop doing it. that tanks Nvidia chip
sales. Now, again, maybe this is just a
really, really early canary in the coal
mine. But I thought this person, Tony,
this Tony guy's comment was right on. Is
it just me or is all of this Nvidia
coreweave, OpenAI, etc. stuff just a
circle jerk of companies buying from
each other at inflated prices to push up
each other's valuations and then rinse
and repeat? I'm not the smartest guy
around, but this all seems very
predictable and tiresome.
I think he's got a really good point,
and this MSA is really scary. Now, we'll
see what price Nvidia has to pay
November 15th. It's scary to me that we
have to wait that damn long to get it.
You know, somebody else in the chat
commented this. A shout out to Brandon
in the chat. Let's go, Brandon. Uh he's
never heard that one before. Uh Brandon
in the chat said at his company, the
first thing they strike from their
contracts or buyback agreements or
arrangements. This is basically, you
know, what this is is you're buying back
the output of these chips.
Uh so now to be clear, Nvidia is not
buying back the chips, they're buying
back the extra compute. This comes just
as last week Nvidia left the data center
business, right? So it's all sort of
aligning like if the data center
business was so profitable, why would
you leave it Nvidia? You know, it's it's
a start of a cycle. It's the start of
the canary in the coal mine. This is
what the cycle looks like. Again, just
like the real estate cycle. Excess
supply, lower utilization, lower prices,
lower ROI on data centers, lower capex,
lower sales at NVIDIA, SMCI, TSM, lower
stock prices, job loss, all fall onto an
already weak economy. This is such a
huge inflection point and nobody's
talking about it. So, either I'm wrong
or I'm just really early. And my wife
already tells me I'm really good at
being early. So, I'm probably correct.
Just again, very early. Time for
drilling stops. I'll tell you when I
dump my How about this? I'll make you a
deal. When I dump my Nvidia shares,
you'll be the first to know in the Me
Kevin membership.
Uh and and let's just put it this way.
I've got over 10,000 of them. So, uh I
will tell you when I dump them, you'll
be the first to know in the Me Kevin
membership. So, uh to me, you know, then
somebody I saw in the comments said, uh
you know, oh, this is good for Nvidia.
They can control the data centers but
not own it. And then I responded and
said, "No, that's totally wrong. They
don't control the data centers and
they're they don't get the upside other
than, you know, more chip buying, but
they are responsible for the downside."
So, it's literally not control it, don't
own it. It's don't control it and be
responsible for the downside to squeeze
out money in chips today. You're
basically saying, "Hey, we could get
three years of selling you chips and if
hits the fan in the future, no
problem. I already made my money.
That's scary. You know, this is this is
the this is the like this is the part
where people wonder like, okay, when
does it turn? I mean, I don't think
anybody's going to really pay attention
to uh the Empire Manufacturing report
from this morning. I don't think
anybody's going to give a flying hoodie
duty about this. You know, Empire
Manufacturing first negative read since
June. Really, we're in a place where you
you have to look at I mean, here's just
the bottom line of it, okay? uh in like
so inventories get used up. They wrote
inventories edge lowers while the same
kind of companies were buying less
orders and shipments fell sharply. Okay,
that is literally written right here.
Inventories edged lower and new orders
and shipments fell sharply. What does
that mean for the market? Well, it's
bullish in the short term. A because
nobody's going to care about this
report. It's bearish for the long term
because it's a bad report. And then for
employment, they say that employment
came in at zero, but productivity went
down. The average work week went down
5.1 hours. That is bullish short-term
jobs report, bearish long-term.
So, uh, yeah, I don't know, man. All
this makes me nervous. So, you know, if
you want to play the short term, you
need to keep you need to do the
following on core. Okay. So, some some
technicals. You can't play the core
upside until you break out of 125.
That's my opinion.
Tesla needs to hold 414. Elon's pump
probably won't be enough to hold it up
alone. Okay, very important. Pay
attention to that. In addition,
uh watch what's happening with Nvidia,
especially that MSA. Okay, that's a
really, really, really big deal. So,
watch that. Uh and then uh uh yeah, as
far as my top 10 stocks to buy. Keep in
mind I also have a top 10 stocks list
not to buy list that we started. We
started that I think Thursday or Friday.
So we're developing that all. We we
include it now daily at the bottom of
each alpha report starting with this
morning's alpha report which did really
well. Make sure you're part of it in the
meet Kevin membership. All right. So
there you have what's going on in the
chip sector. Good lord.
>> 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 Praath there, financial analyst
and YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great
to get your take.
