China is f**king us
FULL TRANSCRIPT
We're six days away, six days away from
the Federal Reserve likely cutting. And
yeah, my coffee is empty, so I'm pissed.
But let's keep it simple. Today, we've
got China eating our lunch. We got
Morgan Stanley panicking about AI data
centers. We've got the Mom Domy effect
actually having the inverse effect,
which who could have predicted that? And
we've got retail buying pretty much
every stock except for one which we'll
reveal in this. And then of course which
I still have to make a separate video on
the alpha report. Shout out to all the
course members. We smashed it on a
really good fundamental analysis three
uh 3 days ago with the stock now up over
o over probably somewhere around 24% uh
in just the last 3 days which is insane.
uh also bought a bunch of it. But
anyway, so I'm a little biased, but
anyway, let's get into the topic for
today. So, first uh I want to start with
Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is
considering offloading some of its data
center exposure. Now, this has been done
already by some companies like Croup and
JP Morgan, so maybe it's not the biggest
of deals, but there are these fancy
things called risk transfer arrangements
to keep these bank capital ratios in
line. And they're basically trying to
get a lot of this junk bond lending
they're doing to these data centers off
their plates. And this is aligning at
the same time with sort of China eating
our lunch. Because in America, what
we're throwing money at right now are
big data centers. And John Thornhill
suggests we could be throwing money at
the worst possible thing. China is
throwing money at open-source models and
so is Mistral. Mistral, which isn't even
mentioned. Well, actually, I think they
are Mistral. Nope, they're not even
mentioned in this article. Mistral is
the European Union's version of Deep
Seek in China. Uh, and they're expanding
their open-source models. Uh they just
announced new flagship models called the
Mistral Large 3 and a smaller uh suite
of Minist 3 models optimized for edge
computing applications for drones and
and whatever ondevice AI. Uh and this is
in real contrast to all of the money
that's going into these massive data
center projects mostly for proprietary
LLMs at companies like OpenAI or Google.
And so people are wondering why are we
throwing so much money at basically
duplicating all of these proprietary
models? Maybe we should be throwing
money at open-source models and then we
could consolidate these data centers and
stop throwing so much money into all of
them. My long-term belief is that LLMs
are going to be no different from
dictionaries. Everybody's going to have
an LLM. They're all going to be the
same. And it's not LLMs that you want to
play when it comes to AI because those
are all going to be commoditized. I
think you want the downstream service
companies that are actually providing
real net worth booths to the companies
that are using the product. And I'm not
talking about Bill Gates's daughter's
startup apparently, you know, cuz she
started her startup in a dorm room. You
know, humble beginnings here. Humble
beginnings. Bill Gates's daughter
starting a an AI search startup to go
find you deals for crap that you want to
shop with Haley Bieber, Chris Jenner,
Cheryl Sanberg from Meta, Sarah from
Spanx, you know, very humble beginnings
here, but not talking about that kind of
AI, talking about businesses that
actually make money for their customers.
I mean, I frankly think Palanteer is a
perfect example of that, but there are a
lot of companies that do this. And so,
picking the right winners in that space,
that's where I think the biggest
opportunities are. you know whether
you're looking at you know some people
are really into Salesforce some people
are into snow some people are into path
you kind of have to evaluate where that
money is but I think that's a much
better direction than you know caring
what Sam Alman is up to because I think
Sam Alman honestly he is like kind of a
gang guy for billionaires that I tweeted
about this yesterday but I think that
billionaires are having like this gang
warfare and instead of like shooting
each other or fighting over drugs. What
they're actually doing is they're just
trying to make each other look bad. Like
Sam Alman is now trying to explore a
competitor for SpaceX. And it looks like
so far while talks ramped up as of the
fall, they kind of fizzled since then.
So it's probably not going anywhere. But
it shows the pettiness of someone like
Sam Alman. And it makes you wonder if
Sam Alman is trying to fight Elon on
SpaceX. is he so distracted that that's
why GPT is sort of falling behind Gemini
now and Sam Alman is literally the face
of this $1.4 4 trillion. We want to blow
on more data centers, which is probably
just misallocated money while China is
literally eating our lunch. I mean, look
at this. Out of 74 high impact
technology uh uh sectors, China is
leading us on 66. We lead in eight.
Okay? So, we get eight, China gets 66.
Part of that, in my opinion, is because
of sort of the Trumpian uh method right
now of let's just let all the AI tech
bros guide policy in the White House.
And so you get shills like David Sachs
who prop up their own startups in the
White House basically centrally planning
policy. And ironically, we are way
concentrating risk at data centers
that's probably going to lead to a
really nasty burst in data centers and
LLMs. That doesn't make me bearish AI.
I'm actually really bullish AI, not just
because that's also what my startup
does, but that's providing, you know,
real net worth to people. Uh, but you
know, companies like Palanteer, although
their valuation is way too high right
now. Those are the kinds of AI that I
really like. Now, this though is a red
flag. You know, Oracle CDS's, while
they've cooled to about 126 in the last
2 days, we just hit an all-time high on
Oracle CDS's. And I think part of it has
to do with what's going on with
companies like Morgan Stanley going, "We
need to bail out and we need to reduce
our exposure to these data centers."
It's exactly why I like Meta. I think
Meta is not only going to be a recipient
of LLM trying to advertise when they
compete with each other. But, you know,
Meta is brilliant for moving their data
center debt to Blue Owl. Let private
equity hold it. But all of that is a
risk factor somewhere because if Sam
Alman blows up, he's going to take a
hund $1.4 trillion dollar of capex plans
with him. It's going to take AMD down
with him. Lisa sues AMD sales
projections are in part based on their
belief that they are going to pump chips
to OpenAI in Q3 of next year after the
Nvidia check comes in. Yeah, I said that
right. The Nvidia check is supposed to
clear Q2
of 2026 at OpenAI. Then Open AAI wants
to buy AMD chips starting in Q3. So if
Sambin goes, the whole cycle falls,
right? We we know that's a big risk
factor. And it's interesting seeing
CDS's continue to rise as of two days
ago. And now Morgan Stanley wanting to
dump out. Now, what's also fascinating
is, no, not Mindy Smiley. I have no idea
why I have this blonde up on my screen
here anymore, but that we are going to
get this 87% chance of a cut in 6 days.
We expect to get this cut. We're going
to get this cut. I actually don't think
it's going to be that hawkish anymore of
a cut. And it's one of the reasons why
I've been relatively bullish since
November 18th. I made a video on
November 18th called buy. And I talked
about how most of the bad catalysts were
behind us. In the short term, I think
we're bullish going through the Fed
meeting. And that bullishness might
actually continue through the Fed
meeting because of those ADP numbers
that were weak. Unemployment claims are
very volatile. We got seasonal
adjustments. I'm not really worried
about that. But something else that's
bullish, frankly, is you should be
looking at the Challenger report. The
Challenger report, yes, is bad in the
fact that it's some of the worst numbers
we've seen for November since 2022 in
2008, but we've collapsed in job cut
numbers from the October really bad
numbers. Like the October numbers were
so bad, Donald Trump doesn't even want
you to have the October job numbers.
[laughter]
I think there's a lot of truth to that,
by the way. Some of that is jade. Some
of like I'd call it probably 50% jade,
50% truth on that one. [laughter] My
opinion. But anyway, uh this challenger
report this morning on job cuts, it
wasn't that bad. Well, you know, we came
down off this crazy October peak and
we're kind of in like a normal range, a
more normalized range for job cuts here.
So, the challenger report was bullish.
ISM and PMIs were bullish. Uh the the
earnings that we got from some AI plays
yesterday were fantastic and there are
some real gems hidden over there. And JP
Morgan tells us basically retail is
buying. 75% of retail investments at JP
Morgan are going into ETFs. A lot of
people are rushing into gold, you know,
gold ETFs. Flows into Tesla and Nvidia
continue, which I think there's a risk
of those. And ironically, you're seeing
outflows at Apple, which I actually like
Apple. I I I don't have exposure to
Apple, so I'm not like talking my book
here. I actually think Meta is one of
the cheapest of the Mag 7s. But uh but
yeah, retail investors are consistent
sellers of Apple throughout the year,
whereas they're consistent buyers of
basically Tesla and uh you know,
certainly Google and Nvidia. That's at
least based on JP Morgan's retail radar,
which is very interesting. But uh are
there dislocations in this market? Yeah.
And I actually think the way to look at
this right now is you kind of have to go
deal hunting. you go look and say,
"Okay, well, where are we able to buy
things at discounted valuations?" Like,
you know, when I look at uh this this
Bill Gates daughter raising $30 billion
at 180 bill, sorry, $30 million at $180
million valuation for, you know, a a
Google Chrome extension. I want to
vomit. I'm like, this is like this is
nepotism at its finest. You know, I'd
rather talk about the irony of what's
going on in New York, which we'll touch
on really quickly. But it makes me think
I need to get a new valuation done for
House Act because I think our valuation
is gonna be a lot higher, but I think I
probably should go uh I should buy more
of our more house hack before I do that.
But anyway, not a solicitation to
invest. Read the offering disclosures at
houseack.com. But anyway, look at this.
Not an irony or not a surprise at all.
Manhattan luxury apartment market surges
after mom domin. What did I tell you
before this guy won? Before this guy
won, I made videos every single time and
I said every time a Democrat wins, they
suck at expanding supply so much that
the smart money ends up buying because
they know the Democrats are going to
constrict supply even more. And so with
little new supply in prime
neighborhoods, I mean obviously he
hasn't actually taken office yet. It's
not like he's been able to build supply,
but usually like wealthy people know
this. When Democrats win, supply gets
constrained for housing. And the best
move is actually to buy and not to sell.
So we're looking at, you know, what does
$4 million get you? Because that's what
the number was. Record a surge in $4
million purchases. Here's one Wall
Street where you could buy a two-bedroom
apartment on Wall Street, which is a
great address. One Wall Street. I mean,
this is a fantastic address. Yeah. I
mean, I actually I mean, this is pretty
modern, contemporary. I'd call this
contemporary design. This is not your
most like timeless because it's too
contemporary. It's too in right now like
all these designs in the cabinets or
whatever. But, you know, it's nice. It's
not for everyone. It's a little cold.
But, uh, you know, it's got ma
appliances. Dude, those are a pain in
the ass to repair. Uh but anyway, uh
like th this is just an example of what
you get for $4 million. The sales of
these things are surging right now after
Madam one. Not a surprise because again,
usually you don't bill build under a
Democrat, you know. Then you got Pete
Hegsaf who's in trouble tr trouble for
using Signal. This is old news. He's a
dumbass for using signal. He doesn't he
wouldn't know compliance if it bit him
on the ass. Then you've got Emanuel
Macron who according to Candace Owens is
married to a man in disguise. But
anyway, Emanuel Macccron is talking to
Xiinping basically saying Trump is
effing up Europeans's relationship with
uh China and it's all Trump's fault.
Whatever. Uh and yeah, that pretty much
covers what the hell is going on today.
So, uh you know, broadly, shout out to
everybody in the uh Oh, damn, it's up
even more right now. Shout out to
everybody in the course member liveream.
We did a really good If you're if you
haven't looked yet, look at our course
member analysis on Monday in the stock
analysis tab. We did a phenomenal
analysis, a fundamental analysis. We're
like, this is really bullish. Every
signal is pointing to bullish on this.
It just smashed on earnings. It's up
like 25% since then. And I think if this
catches the momentum wave, it's going to
it's going to skyrocket even more. I
hope it goes down so I could buy more.
That's all. That's all. I just bought
like $70,000 of the damn thing. But
anyway, that's it. That's it. That's all
I got for us today. Okay. So, cheers. I
got to go get some more coffee because
obviously I'm running low. Uh, and then
I got to go to an open house because
it's broker tour day and there's a fixer
upper on broker tour a few minutes away
and you know what happens. Sniffing. I
sniff the blood. In fact, it even came
up in our deal finder. Uh, our net worth
sniping Dealffinder brought this. Uh, I
don't want to give it away, but um,
here's just, I guess, a quick screeny of
of part of it. Um, yeah, I'll just zoom
in enough so it doesn't give it away,
but our deal finder even brought it up.
Uh, and uh, you know, this is just a a
quick little backend. Super zoomed in.
You can kind of see the funky kitchen in
there. the reinvest net worth boosting
score and uh you know soon we'll
actually be doing the net worth calcs as
well that's coming in 2026. [music]
So we got some really exciting things
going on here uh for for real AI not
some stupid dumb browser extension
that's going to go shop for clothing for
you. This shop's net worth for you
sniping net worth. [laughter]
Uh anyway, you can read about that over
at househack.com. I got [music] to go. I
need more coffee. I'll see youall on the
next one. Goodbye.
>> 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 Praat there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. [music] Meet Kevin. Always
great to get your take.
