The Collapse of the UK is WORSE Than Feared.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
wow the liquidity crisis in the United
Kingdom must be so terrible for what
just happened to be happening uh folks
you might remember that over the last
few weeks some crazy stuff has been
going on in the United Kingdom so bad
that the bank of England had to come out
and say hey we will do an unlimited
bailout by as many bonds as we need to
for the next X days and when there were
three days left the the governor Andrew
Bailey of the bank of England came out
and said look Pension funds you've got
three days left and that's because so
many Pension funds were reeling from
margin calls and they're dumping their
bonds although they didn't even get as
many bonds sold as they wanted to only
about 19 billion dollars worth of bonds
when the bank of England was expecting
to have to buy about 100 billion the
bank of England's like all right well
this is all you got but to maintain the
bank of England's credibility at the
same time as Pension funds were still
freaking out saying no no no we need
more time and the bank of England's like
sorry you're out of time the government
of the United Kingdom decided to do
something completely different
and it tells you how bad the liquidity
crisis must have actually been so
remember the liquidity crisis in the
United Kingdom all started because this
new prime minister came in in early
September and by mid-september her and
basically her equivalent of the treasury
secretary came in with a ton of tax cuts
and stimulus which implied that
inflation was going to go to the moon
and as a result Bond values plummeted
people like screw this out of here and
they start dumping their bonds leading
the prices of bonds to fall like crazy
well the bank of England steps in to set
a floor that floor goes away on Friday
which implies that potentially today the
bottom could fall out right
if bonds kept falling in value but what
happened before that could happen
well this guy Jeremy Hunt comes in
Jeremy Hunt is the new Chancellor of the
exchequer okay that's their treasury the
secretary and boy oh boy this should
make you realize how close to dirty
things must have actually really gotten
like this should make you want life
insurance which you can get in as little
as five minutes by going to metcaven.com
life you could even Apple pay or Android
pay for it anyway what Jeremy Hunt did
completely destroyed and probably ended
Liz truss's career it gutted her
government almost every single one of
the prime minister's campaign promises
is gone we went from the biggest tax
cuts in 40 years to the largest tax
hikes in 70. I kid you not
but guess what happened to the bond
market
well you have to wait a minute while I
go through what they did and I'll tell
you what happened to the bond market and
it's insane because it's brilliant it's
absolutely freaking brilliant listen to
this so here's what they did
they said hey look we still want to
incentivize the economy but we went a
little bit too far too fast so instead
of going too far too fast in the
stimulative direction
let's go in the opposite direction
actually make 32 billion dollars of more
Revenue I think it was 36 billion
dollars 32 pounds but anyway so they
said pretty much everything Liz truss
announced is getting reversed
energy price caps are being paired back
and stayed until April one two top tier
income tax rate is staying at 45 instead
of being reduced to 40 number three
corporate tax still going up to 25 in
April instead of staying in 19 number
four uh oh this is the part where we're
gonna raise 36 billion dollars and
stability is the most important thing
above everything else number five the
income tax plan for uh any any other
income brackets is shelved indefinitely
number six the tax cut on alcohol is
dropped number seven the one point two
five percent tax cut on dividends is
dropped number eight vat free it's tax
free tourist shopping dropped they are
keeping some limit to the National
Insurance increase that means less
spending on their version of Social
Security we just got like an 8.4 Cola
increase cost of living adjustment here
in America but anyway uh the cut to the
stamp Duty for Real Estate that's
staying that actually helps some real
estate stocks go up like four percent in
the United Kingdom today uh seed
Enterprise Investments sticking around
company share option plans taking around
one million dollar annual investment
allowance sticking around and so what
happened as a result of basically Jeremy
Hunt coming out and going yay slash
everything again going from the biggest
tax cuts in 40 years
to the largest basically hikes in 70.
what happened
bond yields fell half a percent
half of a percent on a 10-year is a huge
movement huge movement and when bond
yields Fall by that much that means
bonds are rallying
yup look at what they strategically
pulled off they strategically maintained
The credibility of the bank of England
who said that's it Friday we're not
buying any more we're done buying they
strategically were able to stop buying
and then rather than having the bank of
England potentially risk having to ruin
their credibility and actually go buy
bonds again what happened the government
just said that's it scrap all the tax
cut plans let's raise taxes instead and
all of a sudden bonds rally so the
market actually pushed bond prices up
which gives Pension funds more liquidity
so in other words in order to create at
least the semblance of financial
stability because things obviously got
so freaking bad what did they decide to
do they decided to do whatever they
needed to tell the market to make sure
that Bond values would go up and not
fall and as long as Bond values go up
they don't have to worry about the bank
of England coming in ruining their
credibility and having to stimulate with
quantitative easing again that's what
they don't want because they need the
bank of England to be able to raise
rates but they also don't want the bank
of England to have to raise rates so
aggressively to counteract things like
tax cuts and stimulus see when first tax
cuts and stimulus were announced the
very first thing people started
clamoring was oh my gosh this means the
bank of England's going to have to do
100 basis point hike in November if not
even more basically markets are like the
bank of England's gonna have to hike so
aggressively they're just going to crush
the values of everything because you're
gonna have to move so quickly and that
was one of the reasons we started seeing
so many fears of margin calls which were
actually real like there were tons of
margin calls so many margin calls that
firms that were for like custody firms
that were processing these margin calls
didn't even have enough staff to process
them all it was so bad I mean you had
United Kingdom basically on the brink of
collapse
Bank of England at the same time we're
trying to remove inflation has to turn
on the money printer again to save
everything
and then the government is like okay
okay you turn U-turn you stop stop the
stimulus let's just raise rates uh taxes
instead let's raise taxes instead let's
cut the stimulus again going from the uh
Mo the largest tax cuts of 40 years to
the largest hikes in 70. Crazy uh and
and let's try to get back to financial
stability
they have done so but what it shows me
is just how close we got
to this sort of financial brinksmanship
we got so close that you literally had
in order to preserve The credibility of
the bank of England to fire the
chancellor of the exchecker the treasury
secretary and but by the way who served
the second shortest term ever in United
Kingdom history the shortest term in the
last 190 years okay
and you're probably going to see Liz
truss get booted so in other words you
potentially it for the sake of financial
stability because things got so bad in
the United Kingdom so a brand new prime
minister lose her job
and the treasury secretary lose their
job
all to prevent Pension funds from going
Belly Up In The Bank of England from
losing The credibility or the little
credibility they had left that's insane
that just shows you how close we got now
all eyeballs are on who's next and
hopefully knock on wood
nobody's next hopefully stocks just
start going up again bonds start going
up again and we just slowly back go away
