What Cathie Wood (Ark Invest) JUST Admitted about Inflation.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
that 40 off coupon code is expiring
within approximately the next week check
it out link down below for the amazing
courses on building your wealth hey
everyone kevin here let's talk about
what kathy would just admitted regarding
inflation and i have to say
this is something i haven't thought of
before this is actually something that
adds to what we've been talking about
inflation this is why i always try to
read
everything i can about inflation whether
i agree with them or disagree with them
because folks
have very different perspectives and i
love it
now many of you who watch this channel
already know that my belief is
that come september and october we are
going to see a downward inflection
in inflation because we're going to be
out of base effect period and we're
going to start seeing companies say hey
it looks like supply chain issues are
starting to let up now don't get me
wrong supply chain issues are going to
last in my opinion
for two to three years and we have some
big benefits
starting in september and october that
reiterate my belief not only do we have
q3 earnings coming starting in october
but we have unemployment ending in
september which should create more labor
supply less wage pressure
and we have schools reopening which
again more labor supply
less wage pressure and overall we should
be in an environment where we are
so distant from the madness of covid and
from the madness of very very high
year-over-year inflationary data and
inflationary
reopening data that's been happening
over the last few months including
massive price increases in
month-over-month data and used cars
a seven percent uh jump in airline
tickets a month over month i mean you've
got some insane
price increases a lot of these things
will subside by september and october
and they're already starting to show
their well the fact that they're
subsiding
so this is why i personally have
believed that we're going to see this
september october kind of inflection
point to the downside in inflation
but what does kathy would say because
this video isn't about my opinion
that just kind of catches you up to
speed a little bit this video is about
what kathy would just
add to this the discussion and
specifically what she said
or what her company said that we have
not considered before
at least on this channel because i
haven't mentioned it yet and i always
like to add to things
uh that that i'm talking about because i
think that's how you get depth
so here's well here's the chart of
weeble and the poison bitcoin which is
not exactly what i was planning on
showing you
and that's because my ipad is unplugged
sorry about that but while we're here i
may as well mention that if you deposit
a hundred dollars
with the weevil by going to bedkevin.com
weeble
you will get yourself up to two free
stocks uh worth all the way up to
eighteen hundred
and fifty dollars okay now that i uh
accidentally plugged that
let's go ahead and jump on over here so
this is ark's investing letter
number 275 the big thing we're going to
talk about this is
is inflation or deflation the bigger
risk to
or opportunity for equity equity being
stocks of course
so i went ahead and highlighted the main
parts here and i'm going to show you
exactly
what the big wow factor was for me so
take a peek at this
during the last nine months in response
to the v-shaped recovery hey it's larry
kudlow's v-shaped recovery
global equity markets are rotated away
from growth stocks
toward value stocks this is true and
they give us a reason why which i think
the reason is pretty
interesting as well touch on that
commodity prices soared increasing fears
of inflation and higher interest rates
while
earnings growth from cyclically
cyclically
sensitive companies offered stiff
competition to that of growth companies
this is actually this is not the big
part but this is something to consider
is like hey when
when does like a cheesecake factory
offer you the growth
that uh that like an apple or tesla does
right
that's pretty rare it's pretty rare that
you're going to see
that kind of uh of movement
uh in cyclical stocks in this case we
call them recovery stocks because
these are retail stocks that have
recovered from the pandemic so
good point you know you had good
competition there and quite frankly over
the last eight months
you would have made a lot more money
investing in those recovery stocks than
you would have
in tech stocks and so this is what
they're acknowledging here that stiff
competition
given the short-term horizons of most
investors in the public equity market
nice slam here at sort of most investors
here calling them short-term investors
but
quite frankly they're not wrong most
people are short-term investors
dramatizing these dynamics so during the
three months ending march
the 10-year treasury bond yield doubled
to 1.74
this was a record-breaking increase for
such a short period of time
but also while others extrapolated the
trend in the future
arc has maintained that inflation would
prove temporary okay that's not really
the bomb there
uh i want to show you though quickly
something that they say here that is
very interesting about the 10-year
treasury bond
so i'm going to pull up the 10-year
treasury quickly this is from bloomberg
so thank you very much
for allowing me to show this bloomberg
take a peek here
so uh what they're talking about with
this extrapolation
is actually something that's very very
good to consider is this is the trend
of uh the 10-year treasury which this
was sort of a reaction to oh my gosh it
looks like big
inflation is coming and this kind of
corresponds with the sell-off in tech
which really began over here
when people started realizing oh my gosh
treasuries are selling off
uh which when treasury sell-off yields
go up treasury yields are going up oh my
gosh
inflation fears whatever tax starts
selling off uh pretty much over
this period right here you have tech
selling off but what you'll notice is
we have this massive slope here of a
rising trend a big inflation fear
they're acknowledging that people
extrapolated this in the future that
we were going to the moon i mean pundits
were coming on cnbc going oh my gosh
we're going to have 2.25
10 years uh no we barely hit 1.74 at the
peak and then we've been down since then
in fact if you draw the trend line down
if you draw the trend line now from the
peak
you can actually see the trend is pretty
well to the downside here
we've got a solid downward trend here
certainly not as fast as the uptrend
that we had here to the downside
but we have a downtrend and we're seeing
that downtrend even more recently here
with treasury yields for the 10 years
sitting around 1.47 right now
okay back to the letter here while
others extrapolated those trends into
the future arc has maintained
that inflation would prove temporary
thanks to both base effects this means
you're comparing
to last year which makes inflation look
like it's larger than it actually is
and keep this in mind we're probably
going to have literally the
opposite happen next year think about
this
and now i know this sounds a little
kooky but think about this for a moment
when you look at cpi data you look at uh
consumer price
index which is a number going up over
time it hit this
hole in 2020 because of the pandemic and
started going up
so when this was april of 20
and this was april of uh 202
or 21 over here when you're comparing
into a hole
you're artificially getting a larger
year-over-year comparison
than if you were actually comparing to
where you would have been headed not for
the
been for the pandemic right well guess
what's going to potentially happen
because we're seeing such an increasing
incredible squeeze
on on inflationary pressure so many
inflationary pressures right now
it's entirely possible that we've
actually seen inflation
temporarily inflect up a little higher
making this even worse this exact
exacerbating this
and it's entirely possible that when we
get used car prices and chip prices and
all this
sort of good stuff start inflecting back
down
and we get sort of a temporary downside
inflection we do a little bit more like
this
it's entirely possible that next april
so april 22
we look back to uh to april 2021
and we actually have a bunch of
inflation measures that
look negative that's crazy it's a total
mind twist and it's really hard to think
about right now
in fact i tweeted about this a couple
days ago
that it seems like a total mind twist
that it's
that maybe and this arc thing came out
today just so you know timing wise
but it seems crazy that possibly in the
future
we could see negative inflation readings
on a year-over-year basis i mean
consider this right here
this right here is my tweet see june
20th today is june 22nd follow me at
real meat kevin
anyway markets will continue to freak
out in different industries through
september and october i believe this is
my opinion
when inflation starts to inflict down
this fall guess what we look forward to
2022 comparisons to high 2021 prices
aka negative inflation doesn't that
possibility feel weird to consider and i
had a little bit more of a tweet storm
that you could kind of
look at here if you want to at realme
kevin on twitter is where you can follow
me
but the point here is whoa bass effects
you're gonna have the opposite probably
next year we'll see anyway back to the
arc letter hero
okay so thanks to temporary bass effects
that's what we just described
caused by price collapses last year
again right here boom
price collapses during the pandemic got
it okay
here we go are you ready for this this
to me was
the bombshell listen to this one i
thought this was great
and due to supply chain bottlenecks we
already know that
here we go that will cause double
and triple ordering of supplies and
a massive inventory overhang
mic drop oh my gosh hadn't even
considered that
this is so brilliant so brilliant i
haven't even considered it thank you
thank you arc invest this is brilliant
like seriously
i had not even considered that because
we're having so many supply chain
shortages
now companies could actually freak
out over the supply chain shortages
because supply chain shortages don't
just make it harder for them to deliver
products to their customers
but guess what supply chain shortages
also do they make it harder for
companies to
innovate because if a company wants to
innovate and release a new product
so let's say they have a version one of
a product and then they want a version
2.0 of the product
well if you have supply chain shortages
you might not have enough supply to
produce both products
so you might literally take innovation
in your 2.0 product
and put it into your back pocket for the
future don't believe me
read and faces earnings transcript folks
it's literally happening this fear
and this disaster of basically
preventing innovation from happening
because of temporary supply chain
shortages
could absolutely lead to what arc invest
is calling the double and triple
ordering of supplies
leading to massive inventory overhangs
where basically you fill up your
warehouse
with a bunch of extra supplies and you
kill just in time
transit or just in time inventory just
in time in
inventory by the way is like the
innovation
of capitalism j a or j
i t just in time why does oops that's
twitter again there we go
why does just in time inventory matter
because think about it folks
if you're assembling a car what that's a
pretty horrible car but whatever if
you're assembling a car
when do you want the tires to show up
when
you just put the frame on the
conveyor belt and you're working on
putting the seats in and the bolting the
roof
on unless you're tesla okay sorry bad
joke
uh and you're assembling the car or do
you want the wheels to show up
when it's about to when it's painted and
it's about to roll off the line and all
you need to do is put the wheels on
the brakes are in the axles and the
motors are and everything's in when do
you want the wheels to show up
do you want it to show up when you're
just at the beginning of the production
process or do you want the wheels to
show up
right when it's ready to roll off the
factory line well generally what you
want is you want the wheels to show up
literally the day like just in time
inventory would be the day you need the
wheels
they show up now obviously logistically
companies you don't generally perfect
this but you try to get to as much of
this as possible because what you don't
want
is to have a warehouse full of products
because those products
are money that you don't have invested
and they represent
products that get old you have inventory
management issues
uh you have quality control issues you
have theft issues you have a lot of
problem
inventor problems inventory on the shelf
is generally the kiss of death
well until of course covet came around
kovitt came around and killed just in
time inventory
and kovitt came around and said you know
who was really smart
toyota toyota was really smart for
hoarding inventory something that most
companies in capitalistic environments
haven't been doing well guess what
kovit just killed jit govind
made it so that jit is dead and we don't
want just in time inventory anymore and
this massive
inventory overhang uh it could
potentially lead to some big
fat fat fat earnings for suppliers over
the next few months
but will also potentially also lead to
large cash outlays for companies that
need to be buying chips and
products and things like this but will
make companies more resilient to future
supply shocks and
also lead to a reduction of prices in
the long run
because there is less pressure to buy
product exactly
when prices are high because you have no
other choice and this is in part
why it's very likely that inflation is
going to inflict downwards we're not
even talking about the fact that we're
in a deflationary society
that technology makes products not only
better to where we don't
need as good of a product anymore we
could do with a less expensive product
i can now do with a 500 phone instead of
a thousand dollar phone 10 years ago
back 10 years ago you want the iphone
you pay a thousand dollars not
considering the uh contract subsidies
that you initially got when you got
iphones
uh now you could do just as well with
the 500 iphone you don't need the most
expensive one you certainly don't need
the 1500
one unless you want those three cameras
because you're a youtuber or something
like that
point is deflation is part of our
society it's part of our future
a lot of these inflationary pressures
are temporary now about 55 percent of
you watching this probably believe me
and about 45 percent of you watching
this think uh i don't know kevin i
appreciate your insight but i still
think we're going to have high inflation
that's totally fine i respect you
because
all of you can equally join my courses
on the psychology of
stocks real estate investing property
management sales and making youtube
videos
via the link down below using that
expiring 40 off coupon code but folks
for right now let's keep going with this
letter here so moving on with the letter
here what do we have
with the exception of oh well they do
believe that commodity prices will begin
to collapse and they've already started
collapsing they talk about
lumber going down 46 percent copper
dropping about 12.7 percent
they believe that oil prices will fall
very soon helping lead to
inflation particularly or leading to
that inflation going away
particularly if drivers in ride sharing
in the ride sharing space take advantage
of the low total cost of ownership of ev
ownership
yeah i don't know about that one i think
we're a little early for um people
getting into eevee ubers
but we'll see maybe certainly hybrids i
could see that but uh
i think the downtime might be a little
bit of an issue still with charging so i
don't think we're there
yet on that but otherwise i have to say
this is very
very very interesting i appreciate this
from arc
thank you shout out to arc really good
job hadn't considered inventory
overhangs
uh certainly i'm on the same i'm on a
similar wavelength
as them on a lot of things some of our
stock picks are a little different but
that's okay hey you know what
everybody's got different opinions
but i've got a very similar outlook to
arc
with some differences this phenomenal
