A Warning to Stock Investors.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone we kevin here you might
remember back in 2019 when we had
something crazy happen called the
inversion of the yield curve and that
sounded really terrible
especially in the tone i just said it
but it was a big deal
back in april and march of 2019 we were
really concerned
that the inversion of the yield curve
which was basically a time when all of a
sudden
10-year bonds are trading with a lower
yield than two-year bonds which is
really weird because you think if you
put money away
longer you would make more money but
that was opposite for a moment that
inversion
was seen as a big signal that a
recession was due
within 12 to 18 months
that is also kind of spooky given that
12 months later we had the pandemic in a
recession but
let's just call that a fluke in the
meantime we have
a recent shift happening one that
really started after jerome powell
opened his
yabber trap again yesterday
and it's right here take a look at this
it is
the fives and thirties in treasury
yields
all of a sudden crashing this is
a collapse or narrowing of the spread
between the two
and this is a pretty dramatic plummet
here you don't see those plummets really
anywhere else
on this chart going back this last year
here this is a
pretty big move to the downside in fact
when i take a look at the quote as far
as exactly what bloomberg says about
this
they said quote a significant narrowing
of yield curves is a strong indicator of
an impending recession
while we are a long way from inversion
the narrowing curves are indicative of
an unhealthy
outlook and folks this got me really
interested in trying to determine
what the heck is going on and what does
that mean and what is
what this means have to do with what's
happening in the stock market today
because
poyo boy today is one of those days i
wish i had been live streaming because
we have a little bit of a start of
something happening here but we're going
to talk about it
in this video right after i mentioned
the sponsor for this video which is me
check out the amazing programs link down
below for the amazing programs on
building your wealth
i'm going to be adding some spectacular
content for free and for all course
members
by the end of july so over the next six
weeks we're creating new content
specifically in the stocks and
psychology of money course we're going
to be going into technical analysis and
options trading
and we'll be adding new content to the
youtube and real estate courses as well
we're super excited about that all right
folks let's talk about
what this 5 30s thing means all right
so i realize that most of us probably
aren't
bond traders and treasury enthusiasts
especially since
most of us are like oh how much can i
get paid on a five-year treasury
oh point eight four percent yeah well
that makes sense
not but anyway there are reasons banks
do it and companies do it risk-free
asset blah blah blah whatever
but why practically does this happen
like why all of a sudden did we see this
plummet
and what is its signal okay so here's
how this works
the more we fear short-term inflation
the less valuable five-year treasury
bonds are going to be
this makes sense because five years
generally
kind of short term so if we have more
inflation the value of those five-year
treasury bonds is going to go
down which drives their yield up
does the opposite yields and prices
right so the more fear we have for
short-term inflation the more five years
get punished five-year bonds get
punished
the less we fear long-term inflation the
more
long-term treasuries get rewarded like
the 30-year
so in other words 30 year goes
up in price five year goes down in price
and when we look at yields we flip that
and we get an inversion okay
now that might be complicated don't
worry about it basically means
five year yields going up
30 year yields going down
more people moving into the longer term
bonds
now this signals something in the market
but it's important to know where this
came
from it came from jerome powell
basically jerome powell said we're
acknowledging more short-term inflation
this was a change this is something that
we've been waiting for jerome powell to
say
we've been waiting for the real talk of
jerome powell going yeah inflation
actually is worse right now and it's
worse than we expected
but jerome powell reiterated that he
believes we have more of a risk
of seeing disinflation or less inflation
in the long term and so that's
potentially why we're seeing this all of
a sudden big
drop in that yield curve but there's
another thing
this signals it signals a potential
real economic slowdown remember how
bloomberg was quoted to say that a
narrowing in the curve
implies a slowdown or maybe even a
recession once you get towards inversion
or it implies just slow growth and a not
so positive outlook
well where do we go and where do we flee
or what do we flee
when we expect less growth well make it
very simple
recovery stocks like retail and
restaurants and travel
have done very well since the vaccine
came out
but since then we believe that stimulus
and the vaccine
have almost priced these companies to
perfection
at the same time we've seen a massive
run in commodities prices
like lumber copper metals and these
other commodities
that historically just haven't done so
phenomenally well
so these two sectors that usually aren't
like too
hot have done very very well for about
the last six
to eight months in fact take a look at
copper right here and well this is
actually commodities in general
you can see that they've been declining
for really the last about 20 years
almost here
18-ish years and so we've been in this
declining pattern but we've recently had
this
bullish breakout which is really
positive for commodities
but what's been actually happening
within the last couple of weeks
specifically today we've started seeing
commodity prices
rotate down we see the same thing
happening at copper
and at lumber copper and lumber have
started to rotate to the downside
this is really their first rotation to
the downside in
basically a year i mean this is a
one-year chart so in a year
and we've started to notice the same
thing happening with recovery stocks
today take a look at recovery stocks
right here
we've got today red robin dave and
busters
down four to five percent we've got
citigroup and jp morgan chase
industrials
like capital are down we've got uh
here's jp morgan here's
carnival we've got a lot of recovery and
financials here's credit suisse down
today
on this fear about a potentially slower
growing economy
so commodities are chilling out the
dollar is getting stronger
financials like banks are having a
little bit of a weaker time although
they do have
stress tests coming up next week which
we expect to be very good for the banks
because they got a crap ton of crack
cash
so we don't think the stress tests are
going to be a problem at all for the
banks which should be bullish for the
banks
but as a longer trend this potential
narrowing of this
this 530 treasuries and a signal of
potentially slower growth
could weigh on commodities and recovery
stocks
that is we could see commodities and
recovery stocks trade
down and now here's something
interesting that happens
when commodities and recoveries trade
down
guess what usually does really well
think about
human psychology if all of a sudden the
sectors you're in like commodities and
recovery
stocks start slowing down and the entire
economy slows down
but you want some growth like growth at
all costs so to speak you got to have
some growth
where do you go to get growth well
usually
you go to growth stocks and what's crazy
is
at the same time as we have that big
narrowing in the 530s
that yield curve i showed you take a
look at what kicked frickin
butt today now keep in mind i'm going to
mention amc here as well of course amc
did phenomenally but take a look at what
did so well today
we had electric vehicle companies do
very well today sun power do well today
twilio
tech do very well end phase do well
cloudflare duel
trade desk pinterest square redfin
nvidia sofi tech lemonade
zillow it's the higher multiple more
textile stocks
did very very well today and it's
possible at least this is what's being
talked about
that because tech has really suffered
for the last six to eight months
because there have been other
opportunities we could be rotating into
a period where
all of a sudden tech comes back into
favor
and so in other words if that narrowing
yield curve
is a sign of the economy slowing down is
a sign of folks being a little bit more
nervous about short-term inflation but
not worried about longer-term inflation
then we might see a stock market
rotation between now and
mentioned this before september and
october into
tech and growth as other aspects of the
stock market begin to slow down
now this is great news if you're in tech
but if you're not in tech yet it's not
too late in my opinion you've got some
relatively cheap opportunities to get
into especially if you look
at their future pes some of my favorite
cheapest companies i'm looking at and
investing in right now
when i look at their 2025 forecasted pe
ratios price to earnings ratio
the cheapest ones google amd by far the
cheapest
uh then you've got shift technologies
which is really only a growth play
because it's
so over so rather undervalued it's so
darn cheap
otherwise it's more of a value play but
then you also have
etsy pinterest and amd google
and amd sitting around 13 to 14 times
future earnings
you've got etsy pinterest apple those
sitting around
the low to mid 20s and if you want to
mix in a little bit of a higher
valuation you could look at companies
like
airbnb peloton nvidia tesla end phase
matterport and trade desk
those are some opportunities as well and
personally i'm
really eyeballing coinbase though i'm
mostly looking for the bottom of kryptos
to jump in to coinbase more heavily so
i'm going to exclude coinbase from kind
of like the tech world right now
and instead we're going to be looking at
some of these others now this is also
very important for me to pay attention
to
because i have a lot of money in leaps
for
tech and what i'm looking for is a big
rally
that comes very very quickly in tech and
what i'm going to do when that big rally
comes is i'm going to dump my options
and i'm going to turn them into shares
now i've been
waiting for this moment since april 20th
i don't think it's around the corner
but it might be so we got to pay
attention to it and what jerome said
and how the bond market is reacting is a
big sign
that what i've been talking about for a
few months could be coming to fruition
now even though i'd like to be right so
that way i can remind you all to always
check out my amazing programs on
building your wealth
i want to be clear this is so far just
today
all of this could unwind tomorrow and it
can be back to attack bashing
so you never know but
i'm going to pay attention to the
narrowing of the fives and thirties
that chart i showed you at the beginning
of this video and i'll pull it up one
more time
just so you can know exactly what to pay
attention to as well
because if we continue to see this
narrowing it's seen by wall street as a
signal that growth is slowing if growth
is slowing like
overall economic growth is slowing down
which actually if we look back at a
video that i posted two or three days
ago about a rotation coming to the stock
market
i showed that google search trends were
not really growing anymore for people
spending money they were kind of
flatlining
then then this could really all be
reiterating everything else
that okay we started reopening people
spent money
but now people aren't spending like
excessively
more than they have been spending in the
last few months so
search volumes are flattening in terms
of changing search volumes
people have taken the foot off the gas
so to speak we're seeing
bond yields narrow here which is not a
very bullish indicator
it's a slow growth indicator and that
could lead people to get out of
the potentially overvalued commodities
or potentially perfectly priced
recoveries
and rotate back into those tech stocks
now we'll see
again don't have a crystal ball but
these are some very important indicators
to watch
for i want to say the next six months in
the stock market
for me 2022 is the year of crypto that's
that's when we're going to the freaking
moon
but for right now i want to ride this
tech wave that i think is coming
and i'm all in on it right now so we'll
see what happens i'm paying attention to
it make sure to subscribe to get more

we'll see in the next one
