The Next Market Crash Risk [Explained].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here don't mind
the well hoodie
instead let's talk about janet yellen
because she just mentioned something
that
is pretty impactful for her opinions of
a future market crash remember
we have massive fears in the economy of
inflation potentially coming
and creating a massive market crash in
fact
over this weekend i posted a video
called the
great or the coming great depression or
roaring 20s which is it going to be and
it's
all about inflation and the two sides to
this argument which
if you haven't watched that yet it's a
must see but
let's listen to what janet yellen talks
about when it comes to
inflation specifically we want to focus
on our inflation argument
and see what her opinions are because
they're a little unique from what we've
heard
before at least from jane yellen so
let's go ahead and
jump on in and listen on up just
remember that if you want to get up to
250 dollars with blockfy you could do so
by signing up for block five with the
link down below gonna met kevin.com
bf deposit money and you'll get up to
250 totally for free now i'm not going
to play the whole interview because
she spends like three minutes
summarizing the stimulus package we're
not going to listen to that we already
know it's in the stimulus package
let's focus on the economic related
issues and inflation here we go so um i
i believe there's
enough support in this package to
relieve
suffering and to get the economy quickly
back
on track i'm hopeful that
if we defeat the pandemic that
we can have the economy back near full
employment
next year and i think this is okay full
employment next year
very important statement why is it so
important because what is the dual
mandate of the federal reserve
and what was uh chand yellen the
chairwoman of
the federal reserve the dual mandate of
the federal reserve which she was the
chairwoman of
is price stability and maximum
employment now
she set full employment this is actually
a distinction
full employment generally means we're
back to
under four percent unemployment maximum
unemployment
means that all races and sexes
are under four percent approximately
there's no
uh hard and true or
a steadfast rule that says this is
exactly what it is but generally we
expect all of these levels
under four percent to be consistent with
full and maximum employment
she thinks we're going to get to full
employment let's listen to that again
because it's very important in terms of
when
economy back near full employment next
year
that's 2022 she thinks we're going to be
back in full employment
the federal reserve so far is widely
expected to raise rates
in 2023 potentially in 2024
if we get to full employment in 2022
we could potentially see that 18 month
warning shot
that i recommend you keep an eye out on
which is the fed
starting to taper bonds if the fed says
we're going to stop buying as many bonds
bond yields go up because you have less
buyers in the market
this to me means we could still have a
pretty glorious 2021
without the concerns that the fed's
going to act sooner that the fed's going
to taper sooner
every time we hear them speak we pretty
much hear jerome powell loud and clear
say
we're not doing anything in 21 stop it
it's all reiterating janet yellen she's
coming from the fed
so we've kind of got two j pals here one
at the treasure now
and one at the fed let's keep listening
i think this is the package we need to
do that
how about inflation though your
predecessor larry summers has warned of
the dangers economist mark zandi says
investors are underestimating the
dangers if we get back to full
employment could we see inflation surge
how big a problem is that yeah
now keep in mind where this question
comes from is very important as well
uh this question obviously comes from
the fact that you could still get 38
off today with that expiring coupon code
below for bundling up on any of my
courses or just individually getting
courses like the stocks and psychology
of money group
where i help you get through the crazy
down periods and not paper hand
and not be a paper-handed weenie the
time to sell remember is when the
market's going up
not down check out the tweet i sent and
look at the dates of my tweet that i
just retweeted
from well you'll see it go to realme
kevin on twitter
but anyway why does this come up if
we're going to full employment
why is there potentially this relation
to having inflation
this is because of something known as
the phillips curve now i'm not going to
go into an economics lecture here about
what the phillips curve
is in in some complicated way we're
going to keep this very simple
basically the phillips curve says when
unemployment goes down which means more
people are working
there is less supply of workers which
means the price of workers goes up
which means potentially we see inflation
because if the price of workers go up
the price of everything could go up the
price of input cost goes up because the
price of workers goes up
which means the price of the end good
goes up potentially
and we see inflation unfortunately for
literally the last
13 years we have not seen this be true
this has been true in the past but not
in the last 13 years
we've literally seen the unemployment
rate plummet
from probably its peak somewhere around
20 20 2010 off the top of my head
uh somewhere around the peak of
unemployment i believe but anyway
since approximately then we've had this
straight line
down of unemployment and inflation has
also been going down with him
it's literally the opposite of what you
would expect so this
question that george here is asking is
is a very
old school question well wait a minute
if you think we're going back to full
employment
that means you think inflation is coming
that's what he's asking
listen to the response because remember
big inflation
is totally what crashed the market what
could crash the market again
well you know policy making is about
identifying and addressing risks
and the the most significant risk we
face
is a workforce that's scarred by
a long period of unemployment people
being out of work
not able to find jobs can have a
permanent effect on their well-being
i think that's the most significant risk
is there a risk of inflation
i think there's a small risk and i think
it's
manageable you know prices fell
a lot last spring when
the pandemic surged i expect some of
those prices to move up again
as the economy recovers this spring and
summer
but that's a you know a temporary
movement in prices
to get a sustained high inflation like
we had
in the 1970s i absolutely don't expect
that
we've had a very well anchored inflation
expectations
and a federal reserve that's learned
about how to manage inflation
so i don't think it's a significant risk
and if it materializes we'll certainly
monitor for it
but we have tools to address it back
that is a huge a huge statement right
here
okay unpackaging this okay she says look
the odds of us having persistent
remember
persistent means it happens over and
over and over again
we expect that cup of coffee to get more
expensive not just this year
but next year next year next year next
year that's persistent inflation
temporary inflation is ah damn my coffee
was way more expensive this year than
was last year
but next year it's still the same price
about right that's persistent versus
temporary inflation very very important
and by the way i get these comments
every time i just have to quit tangent
okay
i hear all the time kevin but kevin
inflation is the expansion of the money
of the money supply
no in my opinion and everybody's got
their own opinion okay but when you're
watching my channel
inflation is the reduction in purchase
power
ironically just because you're printing
more money does not mean your purchasing
power goes down i know that's
weird but again watch watch the great uh
depres the coming great depression
versus the roaring 20s and you'll
understand that a little bit more so
big thing that janet yellen just said
small but
manageable risk manageable means
they're ready to act if the risk
becomes extended very important
then she also says and this is very
common because we hear people have these
concerns that we're going to see this 10
12 13 14 inflation reading again like we
saw in the 70s or 80s
she's saying i absolutely don't
expect that those are her like she
picked those blunt words
she said the word absolutely she
absolutely does not expect to return to
the 70s style inflation
and she gives reasons for that saying
that our
inflation expectations are too low that
we think inflation might be
two or three percent but nobody's
thinking it's time to see inflation go
go to uh 10 11 percent and if people
don't believe
that then it often doesn't manifest
because inflation is one of those things
where
if we expect prices to go up we go buy
more
now so that we don't end up buying when
prices are up
later this is kind of exactly like when
i say the coupon code expires down below
you probably incentivized to at least
check it out
because the price of the course goes up
over time
as i add more content the price goes up
but let's go ahead and keep listening to
what janet yellen has to say
2017 he testified that long-term budget
production should keep people awake at
night
the situation is worse now federal debt
expected to exceed gdp for the first
time
since world war ii so are you getting
any sleep
um i am getting sleep i've my views have
changed somewhat about fiscal
sustainability
um in part because what we're okay
that's interesting hold on
he kind of just called her out there
he's kind of like wait a minute
three years ago you're complaining while
trump is in office
about how we have too much debt now
you're in office
as treasury secretary and now your views
have changed
that was actually a really good question
okay props to abc on that one that was a
good question
seen all around the world is a trend
toward very low interest rates
interest rates in the united states are
much lower than they were in past
decades and you see that in all
developed countries
around the world and it reflects
structural
trends that are not going to disappear
soon
and i think about when i think about the
burden of debt
i think about it mainly in terms of
the interest payments that the
government needs to pay on those
on that debt and in spite of the fact
that the debt has increased
substantially
um interest payments relative to the
share to the size of the economy
have remained quite low no higher than
they were back in 2007
but of course we have to make sure that
the economy that the budget is on a
sustainable path and this is something
that we can afford
in the longer run we need to get
deficits under control
to make sure that our fiscal situation
is sustainable
in other words now that i'm in office we
got to focus on people not being
unemployed because that's going to
create more damage to our economic
engine and it's interesting she says
this right here she says
interest rates are tending to trend down
lower interest rates aka also lower
inflation
are the expectation and that's because
of structural
trends that won't disappear soon what
are structural trends
well structural trends could be the
deflationary aspect of technology
the deflationary aspect of price
competitiveness where you've got people
like
elon musk going look we don't need a
more expensive car we need a cheaper car
cheaper car cheaper charge cheaper car
but also higher quality and this price
competitiveness
is a structural trend driven by
technology
let's keep listening and that means
raising revenue to pay for future
programs what do you think of senator
warren's call for a wealth tax
well president biden has put forward a
number of
proposals he hasn't proposed a wealth
tax but
he has proposed that corporations and
wealthy individuals
should pay more in order to
meet the needs of the economy the
spending we need to do
and over time i expect that
we will be putting forth proposals to
get deficits under control
but no wealth tax well
that's something that we haven't decided
yet and
can look at but you know president
president biden during the campaign
proposed a higher tax rate on
corporations
on individuals and on uh
payments capital gains and dividend
payments
that are received and those are
alternatives
that address that are
similar in their impact to a wealth tax
now these items right here by the way
are expected to be announced by joe
biden as potentially part of his next
infrastructure package
whether or not he gets through these
higher taxes
that's going to be up for debate maybe
republicans come in and say look we'll
give you the 10 votes you need
as long as you get rid of these taxes
we'll see what mitch mcconnell is
capable of doing mitch mcconnell has
already expressed his unhappiness with
the idea
about higher potential taxes but very
interesting i mean we
we have uh really a treasury secretary
here just like the federal reserve
uh and and they are redefining uh how we
look at debt
we used to look at debt in this country
as how much it is
now we're looking at it as how much it
costs and by redefining that oh well now
our debt looks cheap
so you know there are arguments to be
made on both sides here
what kind of narrative were we being fed
by the government
versus and the fed because apparently
they're separate they are
uh technically uh but anyway versus what
our actual expectations are and this is
why the market is so
confused this is why when bond yields go
up
the market goes well we're going to
trust the bond yields instead of the
government and the fed
so this is really going to be an
interesting next few years here i think
most of you know
what side i'm on and you get a little
bit more insight again if you take a
look at that video on
the coming great depression versus
the roaring 20s what are we gonna have
let me know your thoughts down below
take a look at that coupon code that
gets you that 38 off expiring today
i don't have my sound board ah but i do
have by the dip coffee
see if i hold it this way it's a rocket
ship to the moon
and if i hold it with my left hand it's
by the dipio
follow me on twitter at real me kevin
take a look at the last tweet i just
retweeted
and folks see you next video
