It's Over: We're in Recession [Do this NOW].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well folks bad news we might officially
be in a recession we need to talk about
why in this video we need to talk about
when markets bottom in this video
because there's a lot of information out
there and you kind of got to pick which
side to follow on this one and we're
going to talk about how to prepare
yourself in all this first things first
you probably already heard about the job
numbers this morning I don't want to
reiterate the nonsense what matters most
is that this jobs report was 2.6
standard deviations off expectation
which has now triggered the S rule the S
rule being triggered is a recessionary
indicator the St Louis Federal Reserve
they literally call it the realtime Som
rule recession indicator once it crosses
over
0.5 boom you might already be in a
recession in fact when you go back here
and you look 1960s boom you're in a
recession when it crossed 0.5 over here
boom 70 you're in a recession when it
crossed 0.5 over here didn't cross 05 no
recession over here cross5 recession
over here hit 05 didn't exceed 0.5 no
recession over here uh you uh pass5
recession pass5 recession what do you
have over here 33 no recession no
recession p05
recession get where I'm going with this
right every time it goes over 05
recession look at where it is right now
now it's not a hard and fast does not
mean with certainty that we are in a
recession but it is quite likely that we
have just entered a recession some
people are going to say oh but Kevin it
was the hurricane it's the hurricane
that's why the job numbers came in low
okay then what's now though important to
know is that if we are in a recession
when does the market bottom that's the
big question according to Bloomberg if
you average all of these prior recession
indicators the market bottoms when the
Su rule triggers
oh my gosh that means right now buy the
dip hold on not so fast I like to look
at 2000 and 2008 I take out covid and I
wanted to see what happened when the S
rule was triggered at these levels
because in my opinion they much more
associate with not a run-of A- Mill
recession but rather an insane bubble of
some form the.com bubble the housing
bubble and now the AI bubble okay I'm
gonna say it do I do I think there's an
AI bubble yes I've been complaining
about this for a very long time now and
what I found when the PSM rule was
triggered here was very different from
what Bloomberg said and that's my goal
on this channel is to always provide you
perspective that at least challenges
some of the mainstream perspectives out
there so you get different perspectives
so you can you can ask yourself do I
agree with Kevin or do I agree with
Bloomberg work I'm going to give you
both sides and then you can decide you
don't have to pick my
side now we did very well in the last I
mean frankly today today did very well
yesterday I was dumb I had some AMD
calls I got burned on that we already
talked about getting burned yesterday
but I made more than that burnage back
today because my shorts made some really
nice dollar hollas uh I threw it in an
ibkr order the ibkr order doubled my
account on ibkr I rarely trade on there
my Robin account I doubled this week
because I threw puts in there as well I
rarely trade in there as well and then
my p&l for today is glorious 203 so I
mean you could see this this is you know
$400
$450,000 in in tendies just in the last
24 hours because I have been bearish
since July 11th I didn't play it
perfectly over the last three weeks but
if you want all my Buy sell alerts just
to get my perspective and my discussions
in the course member live streams
remember we did extend the coupon code
to the end of the day today we wanted to
get through the jobs Catalyst some
people were asking about getting through
the jobs Catalyst here it is so
meetkevin.com to join you pay once
you're in Forever price guaranteed to be
the lowest you can ever get otherwise
your money back take a look at this
folks June 2001 the S rule triggers
write that down June 2001 .53 that's
where we sit today now write this down
April 2008
to May 2008 Som rule triggers write that
down why does that matter because it
took a little bit longer for the market
to actually bottom out in those Cycles
it took 15 to 20 months to bottom out
after the S rule triggered in 2001
another asset bubble it took 9 to 10
months to bottom out after the uh 20 8
trigger another asset bubble in other
words we could be at the beginning of
this sell off now does that mean the
Market's going to go straight down
absolutely not the market will in my
opinion absolutely not go straight down
in fact it will just slowly bleed every
day you're going to get those people who
post oh look Kevin today the stock is up
see you were wrong I literally had a
financial guy a financial a money man
manager when I said why would you go
long small caps right now that is the
worst thing to own in a recession it
literally had a a financial adviser and
I won't put him I I don't want to put
him up on blast and I'll tell you why
two reasons uh I won't put him up on
blast but on X at real me Kevin he
replies me goes oh okay Kevin I think
you're going to be wrong the very next
day iwm's like up 1 and a half% small
caps he's like uh see Kevin was wrong
Tom Lee is right again Tomley is always
right now look I'm not here to declare
Victory right now but if you look right
now so to me it looks like investing in
iwm was a bad idea is what it looks like
right now and I think frankly it's just
getting started because if we are
triggering a recession warning the
stupidest thing to own are small caps
because they're the ones that are going
to go bankrupt you would be better off
buying the dip on Nvidia which I think
is a bubble risk You' be better off
buying the dip on Amazon as the next
Walmart than you would be buying the dip
on the Russell where you're going to
have a bunch of bks weighing this sucker
down no way
Jose anyway as a result of this sort of
Tiff the reason I don't want to put that
person on blast for you know critiquing
me that very next day is because he
ended up deleting his post so I couldn't
find it again uh and I didn't even say
anything I'm not like prancing around
trying to declare Victory today I didn't
even say anything but all of a sudden
I'm like I wonder what Tom Lee's saying
today I wasn't even going to say
anything was not even going to say
anything and this is what I get I got a
thank you card in the mail from Tom Lee
there it is on on screen right there
anyway listen the greed and fear index
is something that we need to pay very
close attention to folks yesterday we
were at 40 39 today we're at
26 this is probably going to keep going
why because Market momentum probably has
to go below the 125 day moving average
and stock price strength needs to move
out of extreme greed you need all of
this to be fear fear fear we're not
there yet the vix say
skyrocketed uh Safe Haven demand
skyrocketed junk bond yields have
skyrocketed we're about to reinert on
the yield curve Now understand what that
usually signals when the difference
between the 2-year and the 10-year goes
positive again after having been
inverted it usually means you have begun
a recession we are currently 9.9 basis
points inverted we are in nine basis
points spread away from once again
triggering a recession with now a second
indicator not there yet so far it's just
the S
rule this is not
good now I also want you to remember
there's a very very key signal that we
saw this morning this morning Jim Kramer
was asked are we going into a recession
and Jim Kramer said no of course
not I'm very
nervous JP Morgan City Group are all
increasing their odds of a Federal
Reserve rate cut Nick T also famously
considered Nikki
leaks believes that a lot of
Institutions are now ramping up their
interest rate cut projections and I'd
like to tell you something I think
they're all wrong these numbers are all
going to end up being too low over time
now do I think there's a likelihood of
us getting a 50 BP in September folks if
the market continues to correct the way
it is correcting now we are going to get
a lot more than a 50 basis point cut the
Federal Reserve will declare Victory on
inflation and in order to preserve the
jobs Market the Federal Reserve will cut
rates back first to 2% and then to 0%
they will do so rapidly they won't do so
based on just today's jobs report in
fact they're going to try to exercise
restraint and they will wait they will
wait wait wait wait until unfortunately
it's too late and they'll have no choice
but to cut rates back to zero that's
when you're going to get a lot of folks
who argue oh my gosh this is going to
set off a second wave of inflation no
it's not because everybody's going to be
jobless you're going to have
manufacturing Supply chains that are so
freaking loose
that you can't have inflation because
nobody can raise prices even in an
environment of low interest rates
because nobody will be able to finance
anything because a they'll either have
lost their jobs or their hours have will
have gotten cut or their salary will
have getting have gotten sliced I talked
about this today in my course member
live stream listen I'm not always right
in my trades I always make that clear
I'm not always right in my trades I do
not
guarantee that you are going to to make
money but what I do every single day is
I show up I try my best and I give you
perspective and I'm going to give you a
little spoiler alert of what I talked
about to course members today I said
listen if we don't go into recession
fantastic but if you ask yourself right
now is now the time to buy the Cyber
truck is now the time to YOLO all your
money on on new clothing an expensive
vacation a home addition is now the time
to put your family's future at risk or
is now the time to be
cautious my belief is the time is to be
cautious my belief is you should cut
your expenses my belief is you should
pretend you should go through an
exercise with your family right now what
are we going to do if one of us loses
our jobs what are we going to do if my
salary gets cut in half what are we
going to do if we both lose our jobs
what skill set do we have to get another
job
what are we going to
do those are the exercises to start
thinking about now worst case scenario
you don't lose your job no recession
everything goes back to normal fine big
deal you cut expenses you were
safe but what happens if you don't
pre-plan for that and then you get
rugged your boss calls you up and says
hey you were making 150k 100K a year 80k
a year now you're making 100 or
50 don't like it bye I got 20 other
people willing to do the same work for
that pck this is a time to cut expenses
it is very very very scary uh and look
there are going to be green days this
Market will not fall off a cliff I think
frankly you could go into a 10-month
bare
Market
yikes so you know now people are
speculating on okay well what's going to
do well in a bar Market well potentially
nothing
but if I had to guess probably gold if
we do go into a recession I hate saying
it but probably gold
McDonald's I actually think Amazon will
be a form of McDonald's like I'd way
rather be in Amazon than Nvidia I'll
take the AI play on Amazon and I'll take
that people are going to try to get the
cheapest product possible on Amazon they
will be the dollar store you want to
invest in because if you invest in the
dollar stores they could go
bankrupt I I I I'm telling you you come
here for the perspective that you didn't
even
consider jpow will probably commit to
rate cuts at jhole he kind of already
did but he'll probably recommit to Cuts
maybe even 50 at jhole so maybe markets
will bounce there they will not go down
in a straight line so I think you take
your tendies when you can and you reopen
positions as you'd
like but what I'm looking at is when I
look at a company like Amazon I think
they are going to be a company that will
be the dollar store of the future you go
take them right now at a 166 that's
actually a fib retracement level 166
divided by 557 they're trading for 29.8
times earnings now you look at their
forward growth which could get skewed
obviously these growth estimates could
get skewed especially if you're in a
recession but uh you're looking at
growth of 19 + 18 + 26 78 + 13 39 you're
looking a growth of 77.9 % over the next
4 years I actually think it'll be
greater than that you're sitting at
roughly a 1.5 Peg for a company that
gives you AI exposure but is not purely
part of the AI bubble it didn't run up
like all the other AI plays and could be
the dollar store of the future and
Walmart is sitting at crazy excessive
valuations I don't know I prefer Amazon
ironically on the
dip uh and uh McDonald's on the dip
remember my 2x two found Foundation
model it's inspired by rust the 2x two
says you want to buy companies that do
not have a bankruptcy risk to me that
kills a lot of dollar stores already a
lot of them don't have the strongest
balance
sheets uh you want uh and Amazon and and
McDonald's they're not going to go
bankrupt in the cycle I want valuation
McDonald's and Amazon mostly have that
right now Amazon certainly does
McDonald's a little bit richer but I'm
okay with
it uh sentiment and momentum the
sentiment on both of these is trash I
like buying when sentiment is trash on
those companies and pricing power both
of these companies both of these brands
have absolute pricing power there is not
a doubt in my mind about both of those
companies now would I
hedge uh by being you know maybe short
the cu's or short you know some some AI
of course and again we will bounce we
had a little bit of a bounce this
morning we'll probably bounce again next
week but the next four month uh three
months going into the
election I don't want to be Uber bull I
don't want to be an Uber Bull in this
environment get me through the election
and I'll consider it I'll consider it at
that point but not earlier not any
earlier than that so I really want folks
to think about this not from the
perspective of
fearmongering we could bounce we could
rally again that's okay I'm all right uh
you know sitting on the sidelines and uh
and enjoying but what I want to know uh
you know sort of just just watching cash
raise cash you know short to hedge your
Longs that's the point really hedging
right but what I want to know is when's
the market really going to bottom I
think the market bottoms either when we
confirm a soft Landing which would be a
very soft bottom it would be a very
blurry bottom a very volatile
bottom or when the Federal Reserve
freaks out in fullon
bailouts there were two cases that has
happened pre previously in the past one
is when they joined the course member
live streams themselves and said we're
going to the
Moon okay that never happened that was
really just a Sly pitch probably
relatively weak for me to remind you
about the expiring kubon code today one
was actually February 10th of 2009 when
the Federal Reserve released the
following statement the Federal Reserve
board on Tuesday announced it is
prepared to undertake a substantial
expansion of the term asset back
Securities loan facility the expansion
could increase the size of the to as
much as $1 trillion and could broaden
eligible C collateral to Encompass other
types of newly issued AAA rated asset
backed Securities such as commercial ma
mortgage back Securities private label
real estate mortgage back Securities or
other asset backed Securities in other
words the massive
qe1 that was actually authorized in
November of 2008 under the section 133
emergency lending program uh this was
announced in November of 20 eight this
wasn't enough it took the FED really
panicking and going for a level of
bailout they've never done before and
that's what you got in February of 2009
look at when the stock market bought him
February of 2009 how about March when
the Federal Reserve or uh February to
March of 2009 or 2003 when you had your
second double dip and the Federal
Reserve basically gave the monetary
policy and economic Outlook commitment
to Congress that they will stop at
nothing to protect this economy in the
market bottom that's the kind of fed you
need they weren't yapping about a dual
Mandate of inflation they've talked
about one mandate we'll do whatever man
we need to bail this crap out it's like
when the FED came out in March of 2020
and said we will buy everything infinite
bailout we'll even buy stocks that my
friends is when the market bottoms that
is when you go shopping
I'm just going to keep doing my best
I'll be here every day you know I know
people make fun of me they call me a
flip flum or whatever in volatile times
it is challenging to be perfect in fact
in any time it's challenging to be
perfect and I don't I don't confess to
being perfect at all I don't even
confess to being good I confess to being
some dude on the internet who does his
best and will share his perspective with
