Crap | This is BAD.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Well, folks, we might be at the
beginning of a doom loop of a liquidity
crisis. And in this segment, we're going
to explain what that means and what that
could mean for the stock market. Now,
we've been talking about these potential
liquidity issues over the last few weeks
on the channel. In fact, if you've been
watching the warnings we've been talking
about, none of this should be a
surprise. In fact, starting about 2 and
1/2 weeks ago, we started flagging the
FMS, the Bank of America fund manager
survey. Now, these are their words, not
mine, but look at them yourself as a
reminder. My keep in mind, these
screenshots are all in the Meet Kevin
app, which you can download for free on
Apple or Android. You get the daily
wealth and the other. It's totally free.
You can see them there. But anyway, the
Bank of America fund manager survey
average cash level has declined from 3.9
to 3.8%. This was posted October
mid-occtober about October 16th. The
sell signal for the Bank of America
global fund manager survey was last
triggered in July when cash fell from
4.2 to 4 uh 3.9%.
If we sit at or below 3.7,
we move to a hard sell indicator. Now,
right now, in the last survey that came
out the last week of October, so fast
forward about 2 weeks, we dropped all
the way down to about 3.8%.
Now, this is old news. We kind of
already know this. I just want to catch
you up on this. Usually when we get to
these low levels of cash available,
people start becoming frankly unable to
buy the dip. A recent example or
actually a few recent examples of where
we had more cash available to buy the
dip and then we had Nike swoosh style
recoveries were liberation day. We
essentially Nike swoosh straight up from
there, right? S&P up like 30 plus% from
there. Cash was much more available.
Take a look at October 22. This is
roughly when I bought my Nvidia shares,
which you know are like massively up. Uh
but I bought the dip on chip stocks in
October of 22. In fact, I had a fund
that was basically had a huge allocation
to chips. And I'm like, guys, this is
like we're in a chips recession. This is
the perfect time to buy chips. Look at
where cash levels were in October of 22
around 6%.
way higher than where we sit today or
even the COVID low of April 20th. So, it
gives you more recent sort of memory
examples of when those cash levels are
higher, we can usually sustain a larger
rally up. Right now, we sit at a very
low level, which roughly aligns with the
end of 20121,
roughly align with other pain points
where historically stocks haven't
necessarily performed the best. It's
only one signal. It's not the only
signal. That's the Bank of America fund
manager survey. Another signal that we
paid attention to in the course member
alpha report this morning where we set
up our strategy for the day. In fact,
I'll I'll tell you what our course
member strategy was this morning. You
won't I'll just break it down for you.
You can take it for what it was. But one
of the things we looked at this morning
was actually a dangerous double top.
Now, this is not broadly on an index.
This double top that formed, this is
just an example of this is a really low
resolution crappy image of what a double
top looks like. And then it usually
continues with a fall off the cliff to
the right side. Right? This dangerous
double top has actually formed on a
company that I think is exceptionally
profitable. It has a relatively low PEG
ratio. we're at about a two. Uh so
frankly, it has about 20 to 30% upside
in the stock based on where its
valuation sits and its growth forecast
sits and where where uh forecast sit and
and and where its margins are. This is a
a company that first of all, I highly
respect the CEO of
the valuation's bare. And what company
just had a double top on the day chart?
Microsoft. That is another indication of
liquidity concerns going into of course
the Palanteer earnings we had yesterday.
There's a reason why in my video
yesterday I called Palunteer earnings
critical before the earnings came out
because it's a sign of will there be
enough liquidity to keep the pump going.
We've obviously extended on sort of this
like euphoric tip over here and clearly
the answer is no. There's not enough
liquidity to keep the pump going.
start adding these things together. This
bizarre double top on Microsoft I don't
think is idiosyncratic because when you
look at the company itself the numbers
are great. So you have a double top on
Microsoft you have a euphoric tip on the
Q's you know your triple Q's your NASDAQ
100 tech index and on Palunteer. So
you've got that euphoric kind of
rotation up uh the double top on
Microsoft with the euphoric rotation.
Then you have the fund manager survey
which is a red flag of liquidity.
Bitcoin,
Bitcoin's price only moves
because of liquidity. I will explain
more on Bitcoin and Micro Strategy in a
moment. And then number five catalyst is
actually what's happening with funding
rates
uh especially at the Federal Reserve.
Take a look at this. If you subtract the
sofa rate from sort of base
international rates, you could see the
the delta of how liquidity is funding up
or or drying up in the banking sector.
Now, this is actually a pretty big red
flag, but it's early broadly. It's not
enough of a liquidity issue yet.
But here's the self self-fulfilling
nature that could happen. The doomers
point this out really well. They say
liquidity concerns are the sort of thing
that can become self-fulfilling.
Even if an institution has ample
liquidity on its own balance sheet, say
let's say JP Morgan and Chase, stress
elsewhere will lead to the tendency to
hoard liquidity until there are better
opportunities.
So, the problem with this credit cycle
that we're in right now, which I didn't
think would come this early, we know the
cockroaches are a problem, but I thought
we might still be okay until at least
the government reopening. The problem
that we face, though, is the sheer
number of warnings we're getting on
credit risks are becoming concerning.
And that's what's changing the game
here. It's not just what you're seeing
at the repo markets, which yesterday we
had another surge in repo demand. Now,
in the grand scheme of things, is $29
billion or $14 billion plus 7. Are these
numbers? Well, I guess that's 49 versus,
you know, 21 billion over here. Are 49
to $21 billion of repo stress really
that big of a deal? In the grand scheme
of things, they're relatively small
numbers, right? But you have to go all
the way back to COVID to see the credit
stress for any of this to actually
matter. If we go back to or or or like
2008, you know, this is kind of when you
start seeing credit stress because you
have a big gap over here. This literally
jumps from 2018 to like 2019. So, we
don't actually see I mean, there should
be a giant white gap right there, but
they just deleted that. I I don't know
why they do that. But if you zoom in a
little bit just to make the dates make a
little bit more sense. There we go. You
could see we've had no liquidity issues
except for once very briefly right here
this summer and that's it. And lately
they've been ramping up again like in co
and that's why that delta chart is so
concerning because it suggests that
there could be a self-fulfilling start
to credit concerns. See, UBS is warning
of looming credit risks from credit
ratings, which I hate to say it, but
sounds very 2008esque.
He literally says there is now a growing
chorus of voices pointing to risks in
the multi-t trillion dollar credit
rating industry and the insurance
industry because basically rather than
using big credit rating agencies like
maybe standard and pores or Moody's or
whatever rather than using the big and
expensive companies you can actually now
just call up quote small rating agencies
to check the box of regulation.
and then just share those private
ratings with certain issuers and
investors to get debt or investments.
And you don't actually have the
reputation of a large credit agency
anymore. You have the reputations of a
bunch of small credit rating agencies
rating debt,
which just amplifies the potential risk
of the credit the private credit bubble.
Now remember, people are like, "Oh, but
private credit doesn't affect the
banking system." Wrong. The IMF tells us
that 90% of lending to private credit
comes from big banks like JP Morgan and
the other big boys. They just get done
through convoluted uh you know,
assortments of capital, which is scary.
So now what you have is not only
thisricolor and first branch collapse or
some of the other issues that you're
finding in private credit. We just saw
Renovo Homes go bankrupt taking out a
bunch of uh you know uh smaller
contractors in home renovations. But
you're also finding that this is going
so extreme that credit agencies were
actually giving first brands uh and and
their auditors were actually giving
first brands good reviews, you know,
good ratings, good audits or passing
audits. Mind you, First Brands didn't
use a PCAOB audit, which I think is very
important. This is your highest standard
of auditing. They use lower standards of
auditing. But look at this. The company
First Brands is now literally suing
their founder because the CEO funneled
up to $700 million into his own mansion
into his uh fleet of 17 exotic cars, a
celebrity personal trainer, $3 million
of luxury rent for a townhouse in New
York, $500,000 to a private chef. And
what's concerning to me is not that
that's the kind of scam that happened at
first brands. It's that the nonPCAOB
auditors apparently missed all of that.
And apparently the credit rating
agencies missed all of that. I mean, it
goes so bad that they literally talk
about certain invoices saying that, oh,
First Brands actually sold products
worth 11.2 2 million that you could
finance against when the reality was the
product was only worth $2.3 million.
That's a scam. That's fraud. It's no
surprise that there's fraud here and the
CEO, if this is true, should go to jail.
The question is, or the bigger concern
is, wait a minute, what if that means
there's a lot more uncovered fraud like
that everywhere else? And that's why
you're starting to see these funding
stresses create concerns because these
are signs that other banking
institutions are going, you know what,
we're just going to hold cash. We're
going to see how many cockroaches are
out there. And once you get that
tightening of credit, that's when the
true problems happen. Now, we're not
quite there yet. Excess liquidity, if we
look at excess liquidity charts, we're
flat on excess liquidity. So, it's not
like we're super low on excess
liquidity. Uh and on top of that, we're
not in this place where uh credit
spreads are signaling some form of
massive dry up in lending yet. You could
see that here. Credit spreads are still
relatively tight, which is bullish. You
could see financing costs uh are are
rising, but we're not like skyrocketing,
and we're still seeing a generation of
commercial and industrial loans. The
problem is this chart only goes through
the third quarter. So we don't yet know
what stresses are going to show up in
October. So these are things to pay
attention to. But we could see the seeds
of a credit crisis and a liquidity
crisis are real. So what did we talk
about in the alpha report this morning?
Well, I made uh a a a I had a very clear
we spent probably about 30 minutes
coming up with a strategy uh you know in
the actual stream. Uh, and obviously it
took me a lot longer to to prepare it
before my stream because I try to go
into the streams prepared. So when
people come to the alpha report, we're
like, "Okay, Kevin's already gonna start
by talking about here's the game plan
for today." And that's basically what we
do. So, you know, we start our course
member live stream, we go live, uh, and
I break down here's the game plan for
today. Here's what's going on. Here's
what you got to watch for. You know,
here are the traps and here's my
strategy. So, what I said in the alpha
report this morning, uh, which you can
get that at meetke.com. We've got like a
quiet code that you could use. It's NVDA
for Nvidia earnings coming up. It's
going to be a bigger deal next week and
the week after when we get towards
Nvidia earnings, which is really the end
of our catalyst for earnings, by the
way. They actually had pretty damn good
earnings. Like, Palanteer earnings were
good. It's just their valuation is
kooky. The only way you could keep the
valuation going is by having loose
liquidity. So anyway, the strategy we
had this morning was we need to see if
the Q's can make it to 6:30, otherwise
bearish.
So what happened? We made it to 627
and then we started bleeding. Volume
started declining. The cues gave up.
We're basically at the same places where
we were at the open. And our strategy
was I'm not interested in buying the dip
unless we can prove 6:30 because proving
6:30 means we have enough liquidity in
the market. If we lose 630 or we have a
have a selloff at either the end or
beginning of the day that that
exacerbates liquidity stress because now
people are like crap I got to pay off
margin I got to pay off debt and they
don't have money to buy the dip. Then
you could actually end up getting more
of a dip over time. So, that's just an
example of what we talk about uh in the
alpha report and how we set that up this
morning. And so far, that seems to be
exactly what's going on. Now, what does
this broadly mean? Well, near-term, we
shouldn't really be having a sell-off on
fear over jobs. I mean, in fairness, the
ADP report expectations are all over the
place for tomorrow. ADP expectations
literally imply that no one has a clue.
Like, I literally wrote that here.
Nobody has a clue. Now, standard
deviation on this is 27 thou. I'm sorry,
it's less than that. I think it's I
can't remember what the st actually
might be 27,000, but let me check. The
expectation is that we're going to get a
40,000 jobs read on ADP, but look at how
diffuse the economist estimates are for
ADP. You've got some people sitting at
60, 64, 68, which would be great, but
you've got some economists at - 20,000.
You know, any negative read would be
terrible. But there's no consistency
here on what people think. It shows that
people are even more confused
with what's going to happen. The
standard deviation, yeah, it's 26,000 uh
470. All right. So about 27,000 26,000
whatever 6 or 7 somewhere in there. Um
so the estimates are all over the place.
This data comes out at 5:15 in the
morning tomorrow. I don't think that
this is why the market is concerned
though. Now, if we get a really bad ADP
report, you know, if we come in under
zero tomorrow, it's going to be bad. Uh,
anything over zero is actually positive
tomorrow because we'll be within break
evens.
But if we get something uh that's
negative, then there's a real sign that
we've done an oopsy-doopsies with the
Fed and they are behind. See, I I
tweeted this yesterday. You can follow
me there at Realme Kevin if you want,
but anyway. Wow. first person at the Fed
who understands this and it's quote Fed
Daily says if you wait for the job
market report to show weakness you're
already behind correct you're already
behind what are we seeing on state
unemployment claims data state
unemployment claims data is showing us
us that at the end of September and at
the beginning of October we're starting
to see pickups in unemployment filings
in addition to that we had a lot of
layoffs in October now what happens when
you have a stable stabilized job
openings rate and layoffs rise. Well,
when you have a stable openings rate and
layoffs rise, the only place this curve
goes, these purple dots start going to
the right and then you get what's called
the normalization of the beverage curve,
which is bad because when the curve
starts going out to the right, the
unemployment rate skyrockets fast, like
really, really rapidly. you don't
actually need to see much of a decline
anymore in the job openings rate. You
just need to see layoffs and then the
skyrockets to the right really fast. So,
broadly uh this this liquidity issue
that we're facing is all related in my
opinion to private credit. And because
of these private credit issues, you're
seeing less support for Michael Sailor's
Bitcoin buying strategy. Literally, his
company is now named Strategy. Uh so if
you look at what Michael Sailor is
doing, uh you can see that Michael
Sailor just as based on this quote tweet
here acquired 45.6 million worth of
Bitcoin at 114,000. Okay, fine. So we're
down 14% on that, but whatever. They're
they're still up on their average cost,
right? Their average cost is $75,000.
And they don't really have bonds due for
a few years anyway. So, you would really
have to see a true collapse in the price
of Bitcoin to see Michael Sailor have
any problems. Now, I personally think,
and this is my opinion, this pisses off
a lot of people in crypto, but I hate to
say it. I personally think the only way
you get to the true value of Bitcoin is
when the treasury companies go bust. I
hate to say that. I hate to say it. I've
been saying it for years. And that's not
to say like I'm bearish or or making a
directional bet in the short term. It's
just to say that once that liquidity
support dries up in crypto, that's when
you actually get to more of the true
value of what Bitcoin's true value
actually is because you lose that order
book support. You have to think about
all these treasury companies as really
like peg legs propping up the value of
Bitcoin, not actual like demand. Because
what you're doing is you're you're
you're breaking the piggy bank, which is
a piggy bank that doesn't last forever,
right? You are taking the piggy bank of
the stock and you are breaking the piggy
bank of the stock to fund Bitcoin
purchases, but it doesn't last forever.
What happens when the piggy bank runs
out of shares to liquidate? Like in
other words, the shares go to a very low
value. Then you can't pay your debts
back. Then you go bankrupt. then you
don't support the purchases of Bitcoin.
Then you might actually have to start
selling Bitcoin just to pay back your
debts and then you have problems.
Obviously, that's like the doomer bear
scenario. But the point is that if you
actually look at the numbers at Micro
Strategy, you could see that
fundamentally the business cannot pay
all of these payments based on the money
they make. First of all, look at this.
the dividends on just the preferred
stock alone in the last three months.
Three months of dividends for their
preferred strategies and in their other
funds and you know strike and the other
you know Strive and all these other like
feeder funds that they've created their
gross profits on their software of $90
million their gross profits do not cover
their dividends on preferred stock
alone.
Now, if you actually look at net income,
oh, it's even worse. Now, I'm not going
to use the unrealized loss here on
digital assets, but if I look at their
net income, I could take 90.6
minus 29.9
for sales and marketing minus 22.6
minus 38.1.
It's literally zero. What did I do that
math wrong or is that literally zero? I
mean, mental check here. 40 60 30 60
plus 30 is 90. Yeah, dude. If you
literally take gross profit and subtract
just sales and marketing research and
development GNA, it's literally zero.
So, they make no money, which we could
have already known that by going to the
cash flow statement. You know, the cash
flow statement makes this obvious. Their
cash from operations is $45 million.
Their free cash flow is $72 million in 9
months. And the only reason they were
able to buy $19 billion of Bitcoin,
which they were able to purchase right
here, is because they got proceeds from
convertible notes at $2 billion,
proceeds from selling preferred stock
under the other entities that they have,
and proceeds from selling Micro Strategy
stock. So, in other words, if Micro
Strategy stock goes down, the peg leg of
Bitcoin liquidity is gone
and then it goes down. It's really
simple. Liquidity is nothing more than
an order book. You have to understand
order books to understand liquidity. I
don't know that I really want to explain
order books right now, so I probably
won't. But if you don't understand how
an order book works, maybe start there.
Okay, we actually talked about that this
morning in the course member live
stream, but that's more educational.
You're welcome to watch that. Um, it's
mekevin.com. But I think another and
this is I don't know if this is another
symptom of liquidity but I want to
mention it. So I think another symptom
of liquidity could be that we're seeing
a lot of people diversify into house
hack. Now I'm not trying to make that a
pitch and just to be clear like this is
not a solicitation. If you want to
invest in house hack you go to house
hack.com or reinvest.co. Read the
offering circular. Every investment has
risk. Okay.
But I believe that what we're seeing
is this skyrocketing of of investments
into house hack. Uh partly because
people look at it and go it's you know
it's based on the company's valuation is
based on an August of 2024 valuation. So
imagine the stock market was frozen in
August of 2024 when the company had way
more expenses and way fewer assets and
no AI strategy.
And that's what people are investing in
at now, including myself. Like I'm
buying shares before the end of the year
cuz I'm like, "This is great, right?
It's like this frozen in time
valuation." And so I think because
people know that and they know it's
backed by real estate, they look and go,
"Okay, well, we're going to diversify
away from stocks at all-time highs." And
so when we get these red days, people
are diversifying away. They're like, "I
need to diversify." And so on these red
days, I I feel like it's like a
liquidity signal. People are like,
"Okay, it's red. Take some money off the
table. Let's diversify a bit. And who
knows, maybe they're using some else to
pay down cash or or pay down debt or or
hold cash or whatever. I don't know.
But, you know, we raised $ 1.5 million
last month, which is insane. I think
that was like our our highest month this
year since we started. I think maybe
second highest. Uh and then, yeah, I
think I probably crossed half a million
today for November cuz we were over
$400,000 for the first three days.
That's Saturday, Sunday, Monday. We're
over 400 grand, which is wild. Which it,
you know, on one hand, you could argue,
wait, doesn't that imply more liquidity?
Maybe. But I actually think it's people
selling other assets and diversifying
away from things at all-time highs like
what we saw with the Palunteer numbers,
right? We went into Palunteer with a
euphoric spike and like an eight peg
and a lot of trader momentum. So, it's
no surprise that you're moving down on
Palunteer post even good earnings. But
this is a sign of liquidity. If people
had more cash, the stock should be going
up on those earnings, not down, which is
convenient for Michael Bur because
obviously Michael Bur, you know, he's
now shorting Nvidia and Palunteer, but
he disclosed his shorts as of I believe
September 30th, the end of the end of
Q3, which means he's actually still
upside down on his shorts if he had
those shorts as of September 30th,
assuming he bought them the very last
day of the quarter, because Nvidia and
Palanteer are still up from the end of
that. But some people see that as
potentially a sign that Michael Bur
thinks this is the next bubble. I don't
know what would give that away. Maybe
this, you know, post about the capital
cycle ends with a shakeout and a
consolidation.
Okay, basically how everything is
leveraged to the tits. I mean, I showed
Palunteer's assets yesterday and I don't
know what people were talking about with
leverage to the tits. All I saw was
leaked footage of Palunteer's balance
sheet. And all I have to say is bam,
those assets are hot.
Okay, that's it. That's all I got to say
about Palanteer. The assets were hot.
Beautiful balance sheet. I mean, nobody
knows the balance sheet better than I
do.
>> Kevin is much more interested than most
people, by the way, in the balance
sheet.
Michael Burray tells us that growth
rates for the prior 5 years at companies
like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft
have basically peaked. Microsoft
actually being the least of the issues
in terms of declines relative to 23, 4,
and 5. So he's arguing that people are
taking on all these billions of dollars
of debt via bonds or feeder fund bonds
or whatever to fund this capex cycle
while their actual cloud segment
year-over-year growth is collapsing
relative to the historic average. Now in
fairness, you know, back in 2018 to 22,
those were COVID days. So your average
could be pumped up by COVID numbers,
right? So maybe it's not that fair to
compare to those periods of time. But,
you know, this gives you sort of a
balanced view on Michael Bur here. Now,
of course, I can't reply or quote tweet
any of these damn Bur posts short of
taking a screenshot because the bastard
blocked me. The bastard blocked me
because I showed him an eggplant.
That's it. I I replied to him with an
eggplant emoji and I got blocked. So,
who's the real weenie baby here? Anyway,
all of it right now
expects like markets expect that
liquidity can keep booming. I mean, look
at this. Anthropic projects 70 billion
in revenue, 17 billion in cash flow in
28. Dude, people are pulling numbers out
of their ass to keep numbers going.
Now maybe it'll keep going
but you know to project out three years
or four years or five years for LLM
products that could become commoditized
just like Satya Nadellop warns when the
CEO of Microsoft is saying all your crap
might become commoditized but we're
going to make money off the commodity
anyway because we're going to be farmers
like the the farmers farming soybeans.
It's kind of a warning sign that maybe
some of those numbers are just
speculative pie in the sky numbers,
but people are in pain. How do we know
people are in pain? Well, because CZ
tells us that when Bitcoin's down 13.7%
from all-time highs yesterday, he tells
us that people are in pain. But then
again, Donald Trump doesn't know CZ. So
maybe maybe uh you know even though he
got pardoned by Donald Trump and even
though CZ is helping fund and promote
the World Liberty financial scam I mean
token uh which is basically bailed out
by the feeder fund called Alt 5 which is
also a scam. I mean it's a publicly
listed stock which happens to have a
support level at zero because I expect
it's going to go bankrupt and delist
because it's a scam. I mean because it's
it's you know it's just going to come
upon hard times. uh you know we we
really end up with a big question of do
people have I mean this is what it all
boils down to do people have money to
buy the dip or not and unfortunately if
banks tighten tighten lending because of
this private credit crap we haven't seen
it yet but we we're starting to see it
the signs are starting to come then
unfortunately even short-term
bullishness could be misplaced now you
know I'm not like a 10 out of 10 on the
bare bull scale. I'm pretty mid-range.
The reason I'm mid-range is because I
believe in the short term absent, you
know, some credit crisis. We should
still be bullish until the government at
least reopens because we just have a
lack of data. Uh and there really are
good earnings. But what's weird is we're
now coming off really good earnings and
big credit warning signs. Now, a lot of
people discounted this October 1st. uh
31st spike and they said, "Oh, but
Kevin, that was just because of the end
of the month." Fine. Then how do you
explain November 3rd's spike at roughly
half of that spike. Sure, it's not as
high, but it's still way higher than
what we've seen. So, take the end of the
month out. Yesterday was literally the
highest spike here, and this spike is
still growing. You can't really look at
this one yet. You have to wait until
tomorrow to see the full funding for
November 4th, which makes intuitive
sense. The day ain't over yet. So, how
do we know how much funding has been
used yet? So, broadly, there are real
issues.
Liquidity is the name of the game. In
order for stalks to keep going up, you
need buyers. In order for Bitcoin to
keep going up, you need buyers. But
margin is at all-time highs. What if
everybody's already margined
max level margin and we just can't do
any more margin? then there's no more
money.
I can't tell you how many of these
brokerage apps, uh, you know, Robin Hood
included, send notifications going,
"Hey, guess what just went down because
the Fed cut margin rates?
Want some margin?"
It's insane. You know, Robin Hood will
show you your buying power is like 4x
your cash. And these are like crazy
numbers. Like I think I my buying power
on Robin Hood. Just the Robin Hood app.
It says my buying power is like 30 or
$40 million or whatever it is. I'm like
this is Like that's exactly
how to go bankrupt is is maximizing your
buying power and then the market hits a
down cycle. It's insane. That's just
Robin Hood. You know, I see it on the
other apps too. I get the notifications
on the other apps that I use. I'm like,
this is crazy. So, um, it makes sense.
Now, here's the strategy that I would
watch for. Okay, so here's the game
plan. All right, the game plan is
simple. To understand the game, got to
make it to the end of the me videos. Uh,
but here's my take on the game plan. So,
first things first,
show up tomorrow at 5:15 a.m., okay?
Come to the live stream and then join
the Alpha Report
uh at meetke.com. You know, you could
use that code invid video. All right.
So, tomorrow we have the 80p stream.
My opinion is that if we get uh anything
under 20k is immediately
uh going to be seen as recessionary,
very bearish. Okay. Now,
uh sorry, anything under negative 20K.
My bad. I didn't mean to put the dollar
sign there. Anything under negative
20,000 is immediately going to be seen
as recessionary. Okay. Anything close to
zero will be seen as acceptable.
Okay. And uh anything
let's go. So this would be more like
plus or minus. Let's go plus minus. Uh
and then anything over 20k is bullish
GDP.
bullish uh bearer bull scale
um you know neutral on rates
but uh you know bullish economic growth
and soft landing or you know whatever we
want to call it right so uh the current
estimate
is 40k which suggests
uh we are going in bullish so the uh
surprise factor uh will be the uh left
tail, right? So, uh down the the
surprise factor is leaning to the
downside tomorrow because estimates are
already so enthusiastic, right? Uh
that's
not great, but who knows? I mean, we'll
see. We saw that the estimates are very
very diffuse, but that's the strat. Now,
the other thing that you need to watch
for is you need to watch for
institutional liquidity. Then watch
institutional liquidity. What's
institutional liquidity? Institutional
liquidity is uh market on open and
market on close trades. So like if you
see a giant tank at the open or close,
that's a sign of a lack of institutional
liquidity, it is a red flag.
If you see a benign close inflows into
the close, it means people have money.
This is why today I said in the Alpha
Report super clearly to everybody who's
part of it, thank you for being a part
of it. Um, by the way, people have been
asking in email, they're like, "Okay,
like like is there going to be a better
price Black Friday?" We guarantee that
if you buy the Alpha Report now
there, like you will have the best
price. So whatever whatever happens
Black Friday, that's that's worth
knowing like you you'll be guaranteed in
at the best price. Um, so anyway,
the the reason we wanted to watch 630
was because it's not uncommon to get
these sort of like faint-hearted buy the
dips right here. You really need to
confirm that into the close. So, if we
can rally into the close, great. Happy
with liquidity. It's a great positive
sign. If we can't rally into the close
and we actually bleed into the close, it
just amplifies the liquidity issue. The
same will be true tomorrow except
tomorrow's will be amplified by
the ADP report.
There you go. So, um
there we go. That gives you a nice
breakdown of exactly what's going on.
So, somebody here writes, "My broker is
prompting me to link my other accounts
to expand my margin even in Canada."
Wow, dude.
So if you link your other brokerages,
they're basically saying, "Hey, we'll go
lend against the securities in those
other brokerages as well, so you can
maximize your margin over here." Man,
that just sounds like a disaster because
what if they have to liquidate cross
brokerages?
Oh man. Dude, dude, it's the brokers and
the FINRA system itself that's margin so
badly. That doesn't make any sense.
The brokers and FINRA
don't take out debt for you. You take
out debt. That's not a logical argument.
Just because the system says, "Hey,
Kevin, come squeeze these titties
doesn't mean I'm going to do it."
Because it's going to bad be bad for my
marriage and my children. I mean, for if
you take out all that margin, it's bad
for your brokerage account, right? Like
just because the opportunity exists
doesn't mean you squeeze the squos.
Crazy
crazy thought, right?
Uh so
let's see what else you saying.
Some of you have Michael Bur comments.
Definitely liquidity. Cash and cash
equivalents are running like a dick in
bonds.
Ah yeah yeah and and and keep in mind
that uh it is a little bit of a
confusing signal that we are seeing so
many inflows with house hack because
like if liquidity is drying up you know
why are house hack inflows so high I I I
believe it's because like if people say
hey stocks at alltime highs I'm going to
sell $500,000 of Nvidia let's say at a
profit and I'm going to put 100k into
house I think that's what's happening
like I the reason I think we see more
liquidity is because people a want to
diversify, b they want that that
valuation from AUG 24 uh and c it's kind
of just part of like a broader cash
raise strategy. Like when stocks are
going straight up, you don't and there's
so much liquidity, you kind of just like
keep going with the boom of the ride of
stocks going to the moon. Uh so so I
think that it's it's a little bit of a
complicated like it's not as clear with
a private equity uh offering.
Uh, somebody says, "Bro, with a woman,
as a woman, please enough with the
tatas." Hey, hey,
I'm just not going to say anything. Um,
anyway, so where were we? I think we
were here.
>> Welcome. Nice [music] to have you. So,
you want to talk about love making,
right?
>> 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.
