FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

that 40 off coupon code is expiring

0:02

within approximately the next week check

0:03

it out link down below for the amazing

0:04

courses on building your wealth hey

0:06

everyone kevin here let's talk about

0:07

what kathy would just admitted regarding

0:09

inflation and i have to say

0:11

this is something i haven't thought of

0:12

before this is actually something that

0:15

adds to what we've been talking about

0:17

inflation this is why i always try to

0:19

read

0:20

everything i can about inflation whether

0:22

i agree with them or disagree with them

0:23

because folks

0:24

have very different perspectives and i

0:26

love it

0:27

now many of you who watch this channel

0:28

already know that my belief is

0:30

that come september and october we are

0:32

going to see a downward inflection

0:34

in inflation because we're going to be

0:36

out of base effect period and we're

0:38

going to start seeing companies say hey

0:40

it looks like supply chain issues are

0:41

starting to let up now don't get me

0:43

wrong supply chain issues are going to

0:45

last in my opinion

0:46

for two to three years and we have some

0:49

big benefits

0:50

starting in september and october that

0:51

reiterate my belief not only do we have

0:54

q3 earnings coming starting in october

0:56

but we have unemployment ending in

0:58

september which should create more labor

1:00

supply less wage pressure

1:01

and we have schools reopening which

1:03

again more labor supply

1:05

less wage pressure and overall we should

1:08

be in an environment where we are

1:09

so distant from the madness of covid and

1:12

from the madness of very very high

1:14

year-over-year inflationary data and

1:17

inflationary

1:18

reopening data that's been happening

1:20

over the last few months including

1:22

massive price increases in

1:24

month-over-month data and used cars

1:26

a seven percent uh jump in airline

1:29

tickets a month over month i mean you've

1:31

got some insane

1:32

price increases a lot of these things

1:34

will subside by september and october

1:36

and they're already starting to show

1:37

their well the fact that they're

1:39

subsiding

1:40

so this is why i personally have

1:41

believed that we're going to see this

1:43

september october kind of inflection

1:44

point to the downside in inflation

1:46

but what does kathy would say because

1:48

this video isn't about my opinion

1:50

that just kind of catches you up to

1:51

speed a little bit this video is about

1:53

what kathy would just

1:54

add to this the discussion and

1:56

specifically what she said

1:57

or what her company said that we have

2:00

not considered before

2:01

at least on this channel because i

2:02

haven't mentioned it yet and i always

2:04

like to add to things

2:05

uh that that i'm talking about because i

2:07

think that's how you get depth

2:09

so here's well here's the chart of

2:11

weeble and the poison bitcoin which is

2:13

not exactly what i was planning on

2:14

showing you

2:14

and that's because my ipad is unplugged

2:16

sorry about that but while we're here i

2:17

may as well mention that if you deposit

2:18

a hundred dollars

2:19

with the weevil by going to bedkevin.com

2:22

weeble

2:23

you will get yourself up to two free

2:24

stocks uh worth all the way up to

2:26

eighteen hundred

2:27

and fifty dollars okay now that i uh

2:30

accidentally plugged that

2:31

let's go ahead and jump on over here so

2:33

this is ark's investing letter

2:35

number 275 the big thing we're going to

2:36

talk about this is

2:38

is inflation or deflation the bigger

2:40

risk to

2:41

or opportunity for equity equity being

2:43

stocks of course

2:44

so i went ahead and highlighted the main

2:46

parts here and i'm going to show you

2:47

exactly

2:48

what the big wow factor was for me so

2:50

take a peek at this

2:51

during the last nine months in response

2:53

to the v-shaped recovery hey it's larry

2:54

kudlow's v-shaped recovery

2:56

global equity markets are rotated away

2:58

from growth stocks

2:59

toward value stocks this is true and

3:01

they give us a reason why which i think

3:03

the reason is pretty

3:04

interesting as well touch on that

3:05

commodity prices soared increasing fears

3:07

of inflation and higher interest rates

3:08

while

3:09

earnings growth from cyclically

3:11

cyclically

3:12

sensitive companies offered stiff

3:14

competition to that of growth companies

3:16

this is actually this is not the big

3:18

part but this is something to consider

3:20

is like hey when

3:21

when does like a cheesecake factory

3:23

offer you the growth

3:25

that uh that like an apple or tesla does

3:28

right

3:28

that's pretty rare it's pretty rare that

3:30

you're going to see

3:32

that kind of uh of movement

3:35

uh in cyclical stocks in this case we

3:38

call them recovery stocks because

3:40

these are retail stocks that have

3:42

recovered from the pandemic so

3:44

good point you know you had good

3:46

competition there and quite frankly over

3:48

the last eight months

3:49

you would have made a lot more money

3:51

investing in those recovery stocks than

3:53

you would have

3:54

in tech stocks and so this is what

3:55

they're acknowledging here that stiff

3:57

competition

3:58

given the short-term horizons of most

4:00

investors in the public equity market

4:02

nice slam here at sort of most investors

4:04

here calling them short-term investors

4:06

but

4:06

quite frankly they're not wrong most

4:08

people are short-term investors

4:10

dramatizing these dynamics so during the

4:12

three months ending march

4:14

the 10-year treasury bond yield doubled

4:16

to 1.74

4:19

this was a record-breaking increase for

4:21

such a short period of time

4:22

but also while others extrapolated the

4:25

trend in the future

4:26

arc has maintained that inflation would

4:28

prove temporary okay that's not really

4:30

the bomb there

4:31

uh i want to show you though quickly

4:32

something that they say here that is

4:34

very interesting about the 10-year

4:35

treasury bond

4:36

so i'm going to pull up the 10-year

4:37

treasury quickly this is from bloomberg

4:39

so thank you very much

4:40

for allowing me to show this bloomberg

4:42

take a peek here

4:43

so uh what they're talking about with

4:45

this extrapolation

4:46

is actually something that's very very

4:48

good to consider is this is the trend

4:50

of uh the 10-year treasury which this

4:53

was sort of a reaction to oh my gosh it

4:55

looks like big

4:56

inflation is coming and this kind of

4:57

corresponds with the sell-off in tech

4:59

which really began over here

5:01

when people started realizing oh my gosh

5:02

treasuries are selling off

5:04

uh which when treasury sell-off yields

5:06

go up treasury yields are going up oh my

5:08

gosh

5:08

inflation fears whatever tax starts

5:11

selling off uh pretty much over

5:13

this period right here you have tech

5:14

selling off but what you'll notice is

5:17

we have this massive slope here of a

5:19

rising trend a big inflation fear

5:22

they're acknowledging that people

5:23

extrapolated this in the future that

5:25

we were going to the moon i mean pundits

5:27

were coming on cnbc going oh my gosh

5:29

we're going to have 2.25

5:31

10 years uh no we barely hit 1.74 at the

5:34

peak and then we've been down since then

5:36

in fact if you draw the trend line down

5:38

if you draw the trend line now from the

5:40

peak

5:40

you can actually see the trend is pretty

5:43

well to the downside here

5:45

we've got a solid downward trend here

5:47

certainly not as fast as the uptrend

5:49

that we had here to the downside

5:51

but we have a downtrend and we're seeing

5:52

that downtrend even more recently here

5:54

with treasury yields for the 10 years

5:56

sitting around 1.47 right now

5:58

okay back to the letter here while

6:00

others extrapolated those trends into

6:02

the future arc has maintained

6:03

that inflation would prove temporary

6:05

thanks to both base effects this means

6:06

you're comparing

6:07

to last year which makes inflation look

6:09

like it's larger than it actually is

6:11

and keep this in mind we're probably

6:13

going to have literally the

6:14

opposite happen next year think about

6:17

this

6:18

and now i know this sounds a little

6:19

kooky but think about this for a moment

6:21

when you look at cpi data you look at uh

6:24

consumer price

6:25

index which is a number going up over

6:27

time it hit this

6:28

hole in 2020 because of the pandemic and

6:32

started going up

6:32

so when this was april of 20

6:36

and this was april of uh 202

6:39

or 21 over here when you're comparing

6:41

into a hole

6:42

you're artificially getting a larger

6:44

year-over-year comparison

6:46

than if you were actually comparing to

6:48

where you would have been headed not for

6:49

the

6:49

been for the pandemic right well guess

6:51

what's going to potentially happen

6:53

because we're seeing such an increasing

6:55

incredible squeeze

6:56

on on inflationary pressure so many

6:58

inflationary pressures right now

7:00

it's entirely possible that we've

7:01

actually seen inflation

7:03

temporarily inflect up a little higher

7:08

making this even worse this exact

7:10

exacerbating this

7:11

and it's entirely possible that when we

7:13

get used car prices and chip prices and

7:15

all this

7:16

sort of good stuff start inflecting back

7:18

down

7:19

and we get sort of a temporary downside

7:21

inflection we do a little bit more like

7:22

this

7:23

it's entirely possible that next april

7:26

so april 22

7:27

we look back to uh to april 2021

7:31

and we actually have a bunch of

7:33

inflation measures that

7:34

look negative that's crazy it's a total

7:39

mind twist and it's really hard to think

7:41

about right now

7:42

in fact i tweeted about this a couple

7:44

days ago

7:45

that it seems like a total mind twist

7:47

that it's

7:48

that maybe and this arc thing came out

7:50

today just so you know timing wise

7:51

but it seems crazy that possibly in the

7:54

future

7:54

we could see negative inflation readings

7:57

on a year-over-year basis i mean

7:58

consider this right here

7:59

this right here is my tweet see june

8:01

20th today is june 22nd follow me at

8:03

real meat kevin

8:04

anyway markets will continue to freak

8:05

out in different industries through

8:06

september and october i believe this is

8:08

my opinion

8:09

when inflation starts to inflict down

8:11

this fall guess what we look forward to

8:13

2022 comparisons to high 2021 prices

8:16

aka negative inflation doesn't that

8:18

possibility feel weird to consider and i

8:20

had a little bit more of a tweet storm

8:21

that you could kind of

8:22

look at here if you want to at realme

8:23

kevin on twitter is where you can follow

8:25

me

8:25

but the point here is whoa bass effects

8:29

you're gonna have the opposite probably

8:30

next year we'll see anyway back to the

8:32

arc letter hero

8:33

okay so thanks to temporary bass effects

8:35

that's what we just described

8:37

caused by price collapses last year

8:39

again right here boom

8:40

price collapses during the pandemic got

8:42

it okay

8:44

here we go are you ready for this this

8:46

to me was

8:47

the bombshell listen to this one i

8:49

thought this was great

8:50

and due to supply chain bottlenecks we

8:52

already know that

8:54

here we go that will cause double

8:57

and triple ordering of supplies and

9:00

a massive inventory overhang

9:04

mic drop oh my gosh hadn't even

9:06

considered that

9:07

this is so brilliant so brilliant i

9:10

haven't even considered it thank you

9:12

thank you arc invest this is brilliant

9:14

like seriously

9:15

i had not even considered that because

9:18

we're having so many supply chain

9:19

shortages

9:20

now companies could actually freak

9:24

out over the supply chain shortages

9:27

because supply chain shortages don't

9:29

just make it harder for them to deliver

9:31

products to their customers

9:32

but guess what supply chain shortages

9:33

also do they make it harder for

9:35

companies to

9:36

innovate because if a company wants to

9:37

innovate and release a new product

9:39

so let's say they have a version one of

9:41

a product and then they want a version

9:42

2.0 of the product

9:44

well if you have supply chain shortages

9:46

you might not have enough supply to

9:48

produce both products

9:49

so you might literally take innovation

9:51

in your 2.0 product

9:52

and put it into your back pocket for the

9:54

future don't believe me

9:55

read and faces earnings transcript folks

9:58

it's literally happening this fear

10:02

and this disaster of basically

10:05

preventing innovation from happening

10:06

because of temporary supply chain

10:08

shortages

10:09

could absolutely lead to what arc invest

10:12

is calling the double and triple

10:13

ordering of supplies

10:14

leading to massive inventory overhangs

10:16

where basically you fill up your

10:17

warehouse

10:18

with a bunch of extra supplies and you

10:20

kill just in time

10:21

transit or just in time inventory just

10:24

in time in

10:24

inventory by the way is like the

10:27

innovation

10:28

of capitalism j a or j

10:31

i t just in time why does oops that's

10:34

twitter again there we go

10:35

why does just in time inventory matter

10:37

because think about it folks

10:38

if you're assembling a car what that's a

10:41

pretty horrible car but whatever if

10:42

you're assembling a car

10:44

when do you want the tires to show up

10:46

when

10:47

you just put the frame on the

10:50

conveyor belt and you're working on

10:51

putting the seats in and the bolting the

10:54

roof

10:54

on unless you're tesla okay sorry bad

10:56

joke

10:57

uh and you're assembling the car or do

10:59

you want the wheels to show up

11:01

when it's about to when it's painted and

11:03

it's about to roll off the line and all

11:05

you need to do is put the wheels on

11:07

the brakes are in the axles and the

11:08

motors are and everything's in when do

11:10

you want the wheels to show up

11:11

do you want it to show up when you're

11:12

just at the beginning of the production

11:14

process or do you want the wheels to

11:15

show up

11:16

right when it's ready to roll off the

11:17

factory line well generally what you

11:19

want is you want the wheels to show up

11:20

literally the day like just in time

11:22

inventory would be the day you need the

11:24

wheels

11:25

they show up now obviously logistically

11:28

companies you don't generally perfect

11:30

this but you try to get to as much of

11:32

this as possible because what you don't

11:34

want

11:34

is to have a warehouse full of products

11:37

because those products

11:38

are money that you don't have invested

11:40

and they represent

11:41

products that get old you have inventory

11:43

management issues

11:45

uh you have quality control issues you

11:47

have theft issues you have a lot of

11:48

problem

11:49

inventor problems inventory on the shelf

11:52

is generally the kiss of death

11:54

well until of course covet came around

11:56

kovitt came around and killed just in

11:58

time inventory

11:59

and kovitt came around and said you know

12:00

who was really smart

12:02

toyota toyota was really smart for

12:04

hoarding inventory something that most

12:06

companies in capitalistic environments

12:08

haven't been doing well guess what

12:10

kovit just killed jit govind

12:14

made it so that jit is dead and we don't

12:16

want just in time inventory anymore and

12:18

this massive

12:19

inventory overhang uh it could

12:21

potentially lead to some big

12:23

fat fat fat earnings for suppliers over

12:25

the next few months

12:26

but will also potentially also lead to

12:30

large cash outlays for companies that

12:32

need to be buying chips and

12:33

products and things like this but will

12:35

make companies more resilient to future

12:37

supply shocks and

12:38

also lead to a reduction of prices in

12:42

the long run

12:43

because there is less pressure to buy

12:44

product exactly

12:46

when prices are high because you have no

12:48

other choice and this is in part

12:50

why it's very likely that inflation is

12:52

going to inflict downwards we're not

12:53

even talking about the fact that we're

12:54

in a deflationary society

12:56

that technology makes products not only

12:58

better to where we don't

12:59

need as good of a product anymore we

13:01

could do with a less expensive product

13:03

i can now do with a 500 phone instead of

13:06

a thousand dollar phone 10 years ago

13:08

back 10 years ago you want the iphone

13:09

you pay a thousand dollars not

13:11

considering the uh contract subsidies

13:13

that you initially got when you got

13:14

iphones

13:14

uh now you could do just as well with

13:17

the 500 iphone you don't need the most

13:18

expensive one you certainly don't need

13:20

the 1500

13:20

one unless you want those three cameras

13:22

because you're a youtuber or something

13:23

like that

13:24

point is deflation is part of our

13:26

society it's part of our future

13:28

a lot of these inflationary pressures

13:29

are temporary now about 55 percent of

13:31

you watching this probably believe me

13:33

and about 45 percent of you watching

13:35

this think uh i don't know kevin i

13:37

appreciate your insight but i still

13:38

think we're going to have high inflation

13:39

that's totally fine i respect you

13:41

because

13:41

all of you can equally join my courses

13:43

on the psychology of

13:45

stocks real estate investing property

13:47

management sales and making youtube

13:49

videos

13:50

via the link down below using that

13:51

expiring 40 off coupon code but folks

13:54

for right now let's keep going with this

13:55

letter here so moving on with the letter

13:57

here what do we have

13:58

with the exception of oh well they do

14:00

believe that commodity prices will begin

14:01

to collapse and they've already started

14:03

collapsing they talk about

14:04

lumber going down 46 percent copper

14:06

dropping about 12.7 percent

14:08

they believe that oil prices will fall

14:09

very soon helping lead to

14:11

inflation particularly or leading to

14:14

that inflation going away

14:15

particularly if drivers in ride sharing

14:17

in the ride sharing space take advantage

14:19

of the low total cost of ownership of ev

14:21

ownership

14:22

yeah i don't know about that one i think

14:23

we're a little early for um people

14:25

getting into eevee ubers

14:27

but we'll see maybe certainly hybrids i

14:29

could see that but uh

14:30

i think the downtime might be a little

14:32

bit of an issue still with charging so i

14:33

don't think we're there

14:34

yet on that but otherwise i have to say

14:36

this is very

14:37

very very interesting i appreciate this

14:40

from arc

14:41

thank you shout out to arc really good

14:43

job hadn't considered inventory

14:45

overhangs

14:46

uh certainly i'm on the same i'm on a

14:48

similar wavelength
