0:00

holy smokes China is just going to the

0:03

he double hockey sticks and it has at

0:06

least some effect on Tesla with Tesla

0:08

dropping their prices across the board

0:10

by five percent on their vehicles and

0:13

Boyle boy Tesla stock is not happy now

0:15

maybe it's coming under the pressure of

0:17

Elon Musk selling but boy oh boy there

0:21

is some pain happening in China and

0:23

we've got to broadly understand China so

0:26

let's go into what's happening in China

0:28

and then we'll talk a little bit about

0:29

Autos like Tesla and Neo well China is

0:32

facing what is likely a dirty Great

0:34

Depression and potentially a loss to

0:36

decade and it's taking Tesla down with

0:39

it well and not just Tesla because

0:41

according to markets the Chinese

0:43

government ain't helping almost any

0:45

company that's because China's once

0:49

every five-year party Congress just

0:51

ended and dashed hopes that markets had

0:54

been waiting for him see China is facing

0:57

a multitude of disasters number one

0:59

there are property Market has been

1:01

facing a deflating of the massive

1:05

debt-driven speculative bubble that

1:08

propped up the housing market to create

1:10

thousands if not tens of thousands of

1:12

homes to create homes in a bill that

1:16

they will come mentality with

1:18

governments subsidizing home builders to

1:21

just build as many homes and properties

1:23

as possible of course taking on more

1:25

debt to finance exactly that

1:27

unfortunately when taking on new debt

1:30

became impossible via China's a new

1:33

three red line policy back in 2021

1:36

Chinese developers started defaulting

1:39

and that meant no more building which

1:42

meant thousands of unfortunate Chinese

1:45

were left holding the bag of Unfinished

1:48

homes in China and this is crimping

1:51

their economy with retail sales just

1:53

coming in disastrously below

1:56

expectations though GDP coming in

1:58

slightly above driven by other other

2:00

factors the individuals in China are

2:02

getting reamed and unfortunately their

2:05

party Congress did little to help them

2:07

this week

2:09

the second issue that many are facing is

2:11

China's coveted zero lockdown so this is

2:14

a policy of shutting down schools

2:16

restaurants and really streets in a very

2:19

eerie and Brave New World style method

2:21

where Chinese law enforcement will go as

2:23

far as sending robot dogs and drones

2:26

around city blocks and right outside of

2:28

apartment of Windows announcing

2:30

lockdowns and forcing people inside

2:32

alter the demise of of course retail

2:35

spending and the ability of the country

2:37

to manufacture or really any motivation

2:40

for Chinese individuals to actually

2:42

spend money in fact since January

2:45

Chinese individuals have been saving

2:48

four times and more money than they had

2:49

in the prior January and it's no

2:51

surprise because the Chinese are seeing

2:53

what their government is doing is

2:54

pushing them unfortunately into a

2:57

depressionary environment not just

2:58

through that 37 decline in real estate

3:01

prices that 13 months in a row now of

3:04

real estate pain with property

3:07

developers defaulting but really also

3:09

because of covet 0 and number three

3:13

tensions between China and the West

3:15

including America and Taiwanese

3:17

relations leading to the recent ban of

3:20

the sale of any advanced ships to China

3:22

from any company so much as using

3:24

American Equipment or American software

3:25

to manufacture chips a big blow to not

3:28

only China militarily but also to their

3:30

goals of developing the world's

3:33

strongest artificial intelligence and

3:35

their goals of expanding their economy

3:37

this is a blow especially with companies

3:39

like AMD and Nvidia selling over 20 or

3:42

receiving over 25 percent of their

3:43

revenue from China well Wall Street

3:46

believed at the very least that the

3:48

Chinese party Congress would at least at

3:51

the least lay the foundation for a

3:54

strong next five years that's because

3:56

these congresses happen every five years

3:59

and the themes that we thought we would

4:01

hear about would be things like a

4:03

relaxation of covet zero policies strong

4:07

policy support for housing talk about

4:09

reducing poverty a goal of common

4:12

prosperity and a goal of peaceful

4:14

reunification with Taiwan and again most

4:17

importantly that relaxation of covet

4:19

zero

4:20

but folks

4:21

the party Congress ended on Saturday we

4:24

didn't get that now I'll talk to you

4:25

about what actually happened at the

4:26

party Congress and I'll talk to you

4:27

about Tesla and Neo will look at some of

4:30

their numbers as well on what's going on

4:32

but first a message from our sponsor you

4:34

know some of you might not know but I'm

4:36

not a landlord anymore and I'm a little

4:38

disappointed about this because yeah I

4:40

sold 85 percent of my properties all the

4:42

ones with tenants in it and I'm not a

4:44

landlord anymore so now when people are

4:46

like but Hey Kevin the the New York

4:48

Times has you featured as a landlord

4:51

influencer but you're not actually a

4:53

landlord like what happened you know I

4:56

thought you were the landlord to go to

4:59

with questions about landlording online

5:01

and I have to say I'm so disappointed I

5:05

thought you know what maybe there's a

5:07

way I could become a landlord again

5:09

and so what we did is we got ourselves

5:13

one square foot of land in Scotland and

5:18

now we're technically Lords of the land

5:21

again we have one square foot of

5:24

dedicated land on a private estate in

5:27

Scotland and we have an official

5:29

certificate to go with it and I'll show

5:32

you that certificate and I'm gonna take

5:33

you into this special spot where my

5:36

certificate is see my certificate

5:38

5:40

way I can always geolocate my exact

5:43

6:37

6:53

Kingdom 93. let me show you the

6:55

certificate here it is my certificate in

6:58

my new podcast set don't tell anyone yet

7:01

but we are gonna hang this up so that

7:03

way I'm officially a landlord in my

7:06

podcast set let's go so what happened in

7:09

China and what about Neo and Tesla got a

7:11

large consolidation of power

7:14

by President Xi Jinping and his

7:15

loyalists we got a show of huge Intel

7:19

the former president being escorted out

7:21

of the party Congress a sign that Xi

7:23

Jinping is now in full control and that

7:26

nobody should question XI jinping's

7:28

control and quite frankly it's not the

7:30

control markets wanted we also got zero

7:34

indication that covet zero policies

7:36

would be loosened something that

7:37

analysts across Wall Street had all been

7:39

expecting that we would get through this

7:41

next winter and then we would start

7:42

seeing some softening of covet zero

7:45

policies and an eventual removal of them

7:47

however China instead applauded their

7:50

coveted zero policies and if anything

7:52

double down on keeping them showing how

7:55

useful and effective they have been at

7:59

preventing covet spread and this

8:02

has driven the idea that that's it China

8:06

really doesn't care about anything other

8:08

than state-driven Enterprise private

8:10

Enterprise does not matter in China so

8:13

what's happening well there's the

8:15

highest level of selling of Chinese

8:17

stocks happening right now since

8:20

2016. companies like Baidu JD and

8:23

Alibaba all shaving over 10 percent the

8:26

Hong Kong Tech index is now down 50

8:28

percent for the year individually stocks

8:32

like jd.com are down 17 at the very

8:36

moment and

8:38

reality is even though GDP came in

8:40

slightly stronger than expected for

8:42

China many doubt the numbers I mean

8:46

quite frankly why wouldn't you doubt the

8:47

numbers I mean look at the Q2 earnings

8:49

report from Tesla okay this is the

8:51

second quarter one not the one that we

8:53

just had but the one before that so this

8:55

is over three months ago we got this

8:57

particular report here and Tesla gave us

9:00

a heads up they told us that they're

9:02

having demand destruction in China and

9:04

that they're having to competitively

9:05

price their vehicles in China after this

9:07

report they started doing Insurance

9:08

subsidies now they're reducing their

9:11

prices in China China is having a

9:13

painful environment but it's a not just

9:16

Tesla that's suffering it's also

9:19

companies like Neo that are suffering

9:21

right now this morning we went through

9:23

the Neo earnings and earnings call with

9:25

course members and we've seen a

9:27

faltering of growth rates as Neo is

9:30

trying to ramp their Factory number two

9:32

to create the et5 almost well actually

9:35

exclusively in that factory now we

9:37

expect expect we expect explosive growth

9:40

to come from Neo in uh the fourth

9:43

quarter just like we expect explosive

9:45

growth to come from Tesla in the fourth

9:47

quarter but both of these or companies

9:49

that have been ramping factories during

9:51

a very hellish inflationary time to ramp

9:54

factories Factory two for Neo and Berlin

9:58

and Austin for Tesla the only difference

10:00

is between the two is Tesla has still

10:02

been producing vehicles at a 50 run rate

10:05

whereas when you actually look at Neo

10:07

they haven't been they've actually seen

10:09

their growth kind of stagnate kind of

10:11

like this chart that I've drawn here and

10:13

you could see that in their quarterly

10:14

numbers in their last earnings report

10:16

and so Neo not having as much growth

10:20

success as obviously Tesla but both of

10:22

these companies getting absolutely

10:24

hammered on Chinese demand and what's

10:26

happening in China Neo right now Neo

10:29

adrs are trading down 22 and in order

10:34

for you to say it's time for me to buy

10:36

the dip on Neo you really have to ask

10:39

yourself a do you believe in the Chinese

10:41

government do you actually want to

10:42

invest in the Chinese government do you

10:44

believe that the Chinese consumer is

10:45

going to go back to spending even though

10:47

they know their economy and shambles in

10:49

their saving like crazy well and do you

10:52

believe that Neo is actually going to

10:54

successfully be able to ramp that uh

10:56

Factory number two to the point we

10:58

actually get to some strong growth rates

11:00

I mean maybe but right now the company's

11:02

still losing money we're still not at

11:05

levels we're teslaized now that's okay

11:07

because Neo is a newer company right

11:09

Tesla has over 39

11:13

000 supercharging stations you know

11:15

things you can plug into Neo has like

11:17

1100 battery swap stations and when it

11:19

comes to regular charging stations a

11:21

fraction of what Tesla is a much newer

11:23

company so it's not fair to line them up

11:25

part apart but Tesla didn't have this

11:29

sort of 2022 stall in growth that Neo

11:33

had and that stall is leading to a lot

11:35

of questions that will that et5 be able

11:38

to bring back their exponential growth

11:39

or not things to pay attention to and I

11:42

hate to say it but Chinese government

11:43

ain't here to help let's just say

11:45

markets did not get what they were

11:48

looking for here and remember this is a

11:50

country that started 52 000

11:51

infrastructure projects since January of

11:53

2022 and their production numbers are

11:56

still negative year over year so you

11:59

can't really blame Tesla for cutting

12:02

prices in their cars in China by on

12:04

average five percent across the board

12:06

because what you have is ugly in China

12:08

you have an economy that's faltering you

12:10

have growth that's stalling probably

12:12

quite frankly in a recession and you

12:14

have a government that is now emboldened

12:16

to keep its economy in a recession but

12:18

hey some say there could be some good

12:20

news in all of this maybe not

12:22

necessarily investing in Chinese stocks

12:24

but China could end up being an anchor

12:27

for Global inflation

12:28

that is as China's economy stalls it

12:32

could sink the global inflation

12:34

countries across the world are dealing

12:36

with with the exception of course of

12:38

China is actually actively trying to

12:40

stimulate their economy because they're

12:42

already so far on the right

12:43

other than that though it seems quite

12:45

risky to invest in China right now as a

12:47

foreign investor as the country it

12:49

doubles down onto covet zero and doubles

12:51

down on state-run businesses over

12:54

private Enterprise and now the fears of

12:57

a lost decade in China are truly coming

12:59

together let me know your thoughts in

13:01

the comments down below or are you

13:02

investing in Chinese stocks at the

13:04

moment or are you taking your losses in

13:06

Tesla instead
