SHOCKED What Jerome Powell **JUST** Admitted | Jackson Hole Flip Flop!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
wow this was a doish Powell Jerome
Powell literally just flipped in this
video I'm going to give you a bare bull
scale update from Kevin I'm going to
tell you what Jerome Powell said in
reverse order uh and I'm going to give
you my opinion which I haven't heard
anybody else talk about yet which is
either a sign that nobody else is paying
attention to it or it's a sign that your
boy Kevin is just a dumb idiot and it's
just totally wrong in this video I'll
give you everything that's on my mind
and I'll let you make the decision so
let's get started Jackson Hole Drome
Powell starts by saying Kevin's got a
flash sale today over at meetkevin.com
in honor of Jackson Hole and the prices
go up tonight got any questions email us
at staff meetkevin.com otherwise check
it out and make sure you get in before
11:59 p.m. we finally figured out how to
make the computer automatically kill the
price increase right at 11:59 p.m. so
check get out of me
kevin.com with that said Jerome Bell
truly did say uh the task is not
complete and we do not seek a further
welcoming or a further cooling H in
labor markets so we do not seek or
welcome a further Cooling in labor
markets this is actually really
important this line in my opinion was
critical because on one hand I've been
screaming on the channel That I think
the FED is going too slowly that if they
keep moving this slowly and gradually
and methodically they're going to cause
an unemployment recession and that is
going to be different than the recession
we expected at the beginning of 22 where
at the beginning of 22 we expected a
recession where people would have excess
savings and they'd have their jobs and
it would sort of be like a shallow okay
yeah year-over-year growth is slower and
you'd have a recession really what we
ended up what we would end up getting if
we had a recession now would be a
jobless recession where companies start
laying off more because they're trying
to increase margins capex spending slows
then layoffs occur as hiring stalls then
you get consumer spending slow down and
then the data shows up in unemployment
unfortunately I've been concerned that
if jpow waits for the data to show up in
unemployment it'd be too late and we'd
be KNE deep in a recession so this line
from Jerome Powell that already at this
point we quote do not seek or welcome
further Cooling in labor markets is is
actually good but there's a balance to
this because on one hand I'm like oh I
literally wrote down I I may have even
said it on the video when he said that
I'm like oh that's good this is I think
I just wrote it down this is bullish
jpow is paying attention to the labor
market the way he should this is a good
thing but then I started to thinking to
myself wait a minute how bad is it bro
what do you know that that you're not
saying here now I understand that that
would be very very jaded to assume that
JP's starting to go oh God we've gone
way too far but let's listen to what El
Drome Powell said and see if maybe
there's another clue as to JP saying oh
we've gone too far let's see Drome
Powell tells a story about how he and
other economists and Central bankers and
analysts were on ship transitory and
that it was a very crowded ship and he
basically makes the case that being on
ship transitory was the right move it
just took longer than expected the
journey was longer okay what is he
trying to say with that analogy he
trying to tell you hey look we expected
inflation to come up and come back down
and then once it was gone we're done by
him using this analogy is basically
trying to say we were right it just took
a little longer inflation went up now
it's down we're not worried about
inflation anymore now we got to fix the
labor market we just screwed
up that's my implication from this again
your opinion may be very different and
that's okay that's the beauty about
finances we can have different opinions
so then he says we will do everything we
can to support the labor market the time
has come for policy to adjust and there
is ample room to respond to risks okay
this is really interesting because he's
basically saying inflation's not a
problem anymore we're now serious about
the labor market I actually don't think
the FED is balanced anymore like in the
last fomc meeting the fed's like yeah
we've gone from inflation as a priority
and the labor Market's okay I think
we've actually gone you know in the last
meeting we went to okay they're both
balanced I think now we've gone to Bro
inflation's over which I agree with mind
you I completely agree inflation is over
there's not going to be a second wave
this is my opinion talk about that in
many other videos Supply chains have
expanded so much that it's going to be
very difficult even with stimulative
spending for us to see a second wave of
inflation my opinion again yours could
be very different okay so if inflation
is dead the way JP is saying and now
he's basically more in favor of oh man
we may have gone too far we may start
causing some real damage to the labor
market here and this is why he's coming
across so dovish then we have to ask
ourselves okay so how do we internalize
this does this is this a good thing that
he's being doish yes it is a good thing
because if he came out today and said
we're going to go slow and gradual uh
you know we're not convinced inflation
is dead well then we'll almost certainly
be in a recession so this speech is
definitely more bullish than bearish but
now it kind of like his his the rapidity
rapidness is that a word I don't know
the the rapidness of him going from you
know we're not done yet with inflation
to inflation's transitory and oh my God
we need to save the labor market that
flip makes me go man I mean this is this
is good that now you're paying attention
to the labor market but now you got me a
little concerned as to how concerned you
are about the labor market because I've
already been freaking out about the
labor market and now you're freaking out
and so I'm like are we already in a
recession I'll update the be bull scale
in just a moment but but these are I
don't know the answer here I think
really data will help us obviously you
know we got to be where's the word where
is it it's somewhere over here we got to
be uh data
dependent uh and and we do have data
sets coming out here soon you know we've
uh we've got jolts coming out on 94 job
openings and labor turnover survey the
ADP private unemployment report uh will
come out uh on 95 September 5th uh and
then we'll have non-farm payrolls on
September 6th and my dad's birthday on
September 10th okay so let's keep
listening to what he said so in addition
to this he says we've made a great deal
of conf progress and my confidence on
inflation has grown the upside to
inflation has diminished and the
downside to the risk of employment have
increased so I actually wrote next to
that I'm like how
badly like how badly have the risk to
employment increased anyway so labor
market is unmistakably cooling says
Powell the timing and pace of cuts will
depend on the data uh I wrote this is
surprisingly bullish on the labor market
unlikely the labor market will be a
source of further inflationary pressure
we already knew that he's already told
us for a while that there's no wage
price spiral and we're not really
concerned about wage gains in fact you
know some wage gains are consistent with
falling inflation so that's fine he
referenced 2023 as an example of that in
the second half when inflation was
plummeting and wages were actually
Rising uh then he says sometimes it can
be a good idea to look through inflation
as transitory and so he sort of goes
back into history and says like it's
kind of normal the problem this time was
that Supply chains didn't recover as
fast as we thought they would because of
the co shutdowns he does think we're on
a sustainable path path to 2% and then
he ended the meeting and we're like okay
that was like a 15minute speech or maybe
even slightly less and we're like we
didn't really close the door to 50 basis
points there so what happened is the
market uh has actually started pricing
in a little bit more of a chance of 50
basis points if I look right now when we
started before the meeting we were at
about
1.25 Cuts priced in for September now
we're at
1.32 priced in so the Market's pricing
in a little bit more in terms of rate
Cuts we're pricing in a full five rate
Cuts now for January so he's kind of
actually left the door wide open to 50
here which again is is good in my
opinion this is what he should be doing
but then I also wonder how quickly he
urned makes me just scratch my head and
go it wait is I mean this is what you
should be doing but bro is is this worse
than uh than you're leading out here you
know what's going on back there you know
I feel like I'm getting a report from
the engine room of the Titanic and uh
you know 20 minutes ago it was we're
fine we got it all under control and
then 10 minutes ago it was you know it's
a little worse than we thought but we
got it and then like 2 minutes ago it's
like yeah man we got some problems you
know I don't know man that's that's a
little bit like I'm I'm getting whipsaw
here by the flip-flopping from the FED I
mean again two meetings ago inflation
still not at Target one meeting ago it's
the risks are balanced today it's there
ain't no more inflation risk man the J
Market going to
which I mean we already knew
that oh okay anyway so then he says you
know the direction of travel is clear
meeting ends left the door open to 50
basis points no talk about Peak rates
they're not going to raise rates anymore
no talk about a soft Landing uh there's
no question this is dovish now I'm just
wondering like why is it so dovish Nick
T says the Powell pivot is complete uh
and so where am I on a bare bull scale
um you know I I I'm up a little
but this is uh not much not as much as
you might think I saw some of y'all
guessing you're like oh Kevin's going to
be a seven and a half you know where
bullish Max bullishness with margin is
10 some people like ah no Kevin's going
to be a five or a six I'm going from 29
to 3 three okay so because
a this is what he should be doing this
is good yes Powell yes this is what you
should be doing but the rapidity of flip
here just has me like minimizing my
bullishness
going it is it really that bad
bro so we'll find out as we get more
data I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm
a little freaked out okay so uh I don't
know I don't know I guess the data will
tell I will tell you what I think what I
think will be a winner no matter what
I'm just going to be transparent here
okay what I think will be a winner uh no
matter what uh ooh damn that option I
placed and send a trade alert on let's
freaking go Damn Baby Woo just before I
started doing this video I had an option
trade that I placed and it's making some

what he actually is imp like did y'all

got questions email us at staff me
kevin.com and we'll see you in the next
one goodbye good luck oh and I think I
forgot to say what this is probably and
very likely no guant is bullish for
yields going down the fact that jpow is
now flipping like this is a sign to me
that yields are going to fall a lot
faster than we expected which is what
I've been talking about for weeks in
fact if you've seen the positioning that
I've been exposing myself to for either
soft Landing or jobless recession uh it
it's been I mean I've got multi I've got
two over seven figure individually
trades going on two big sectors one of
them has a lot to do with rates uh and
uh one of them is also similar ilar to
that but I think does well in even a
jobless recession that sounds crazy but
anyway we've been talking about those
two we've been paying attention I I've
saying I think rates are going to come
down a lot faster than people think and
JW's flipflop here is reiterating
exactly that now the question is just
dang how bad is that for companies that
are expecting growth because if he's
worried about the labor recession growth
companies are going to get whacked so be
careful 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
