The Collapse of China & Complete Destruction of Companies.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
holy smokes China is just going to the
he double hockey sticks and it has at
least some effect on Tesla with Tesla
dropping their prices across the board
by five percent on their vehicles and
Boyle boy Tesla stock is not happy now
maybe it's coming under the pressure of
Elon Musk selling but boy oh boy there
is some pain happening in China and
we've got to broadly understand China so
let's go into what's happening in China
and then we'll talk a little bit about
Autos like Tesla and Neo well China is
facing what is likely a dirty Great
Depression and potentially a loss to
decade and it's taking Tesla down with
it well and not just Tesla because
according to markets the Chinese
government ain't helping almost any
company that's because China's once
every five-year party Congress just
ended and dashed hopes that markets had
been waiting for him see China is facing
a multitude of disasters number one
there are property Market has been
facing a deflating of the massive
debt-driven speculative bubble that
propped up the housing market to create
thousands if not tens of thousands of
homes to create homes in a bill that
they will come mentality with
governments subsidizing home builders to
just build as many homes and properties
as possible of course taking on more
debt to finance exactly that
unfortunately when taking on new debt
became impossible via China's a new
three red line policy back in 2021
Chinese developers started defaulting
and that meant no more building which
meant thousands of unfortunate Chinese
were left holding the bag of Unfinished
homes in China and this is crimping
their economy with retail sales just
coming in disastrously below
expectations though GDP coming in
slightly above driven by other other
factors the individuals in China are
getting reamed and unfortunately their
party Congress did little to help them
this week
the second issue that many are facing is
China's coveted zero lockdown so this is
a policy of shutting down schools
restaurants and really streets in a very
eerie and Brave New World style method
where Chinese law enforcement will go as
far as sending robot dogs and drones
around city blocks and right outside of
apartment of Windows announcing
lockdowns and forcing people inside
alter the demise of of course retail
spending and the ability of the country
to manufacture or really any motivation
for Chinese individuals to actually
spend money in fact since January
Chinese individuals have been saving
four times and more money than they had
in the prior January and it's no
surprise because the Chinese are seeing
what their government is doing is
pushing them unfortunately into a
depressionary environment not just
through that 37 decline in real estate
prices that 13 months in a row now of
real estate pain with property
developers defaulting but really also
because of covet 0 and number three
tensions between China and the West
including America and Taiwanese
relations leading to the recent ban of
the sale of any advanced ships to China
from any company so much as using
American Equipment or American software
to manufacture chips a big blow to not
only China militarily but also to their
goals of developing the world's
strongest artificial intelligence and
their goals of expanding their economy
this is a blow especially with companies
like AMD and Nvidia selling over 20 or
receiving over 25 percent of their
revenue from China well Wall Street
believed at the very least that the
Chinese party Congress would at least at
the least lay the foundation for a
strong next five years that's because
these congresses happen every five years
and the themes that we thought we would
hear about would be things like a
relaxation of covet zero policies strong
policy support for housing talk about
reducing poverty a goal of common
prosperity and a goal of peaceful
reunification with Taiwan and again most
importantly that relaxation of covet
zero
but folks
the party Congress ended on Saturday we
didn't get that now I'll talk to you
about what actually happened at the
party Congress and I'll talk to you
about Tesla and Neo will look at some of
their numbers as well on what's going on
but first a message from our sponsor you
know some of you might not know but I'm
not a landlord anymore and I'm a little
disappointed about this because yeah I
sold 85 percent of my properties all the
ones with tenants in it and I'm not a
landlord anymore so now when people are
like but Hey Kevin the the New York
Times has you featured as a landlord
influencer but you're not actually a
landlord like what happened you know I
thought you were the landlord to go to
with questions about landlording online
and I have to say I'm so disappointed I
thought you know what maybe there's a
way I could become a landlord again
and so what we did is we got ourselves
one square foot of land in Scotland and
now we're technically Lords of the land
again we have one square foot of
dedicated land on a private estate in
Scotland and we have an official
certificate to go with it and I'll show
you that certificate and I'm gonna take
you into this special spot where my
certificate is see my certificate
features a unique plot number so that
way I can always geolocate my exact
location and the company that plots
these plots and sells these plots plants
a tree with every single order so if you
want to be a landlord consider using the
link down below and you can officially
change your name to Lord or lady like on
your plane tickets and credit cards
there's some things you can't put it on
like passports and driver's license
sadly but but I'm officially a lord
again so you can now go to
establishtidals.com meet heaven to get
your last minute gift for someone else
you get 10 off when you use uh the meet
Kevin coupon code or you go to
establishtitles.com meet Kevin uh what's
really cool is established titles is
running a large sale right now that's
unique to this moment in time so make
sure you use that code meet Kevin to
take advantage of that sale and quite
frankly it's kind of cool to officially
say I'm a landlord again by the way
established titles told me the first 200
people purchasing a title pack using my
link down below will effectively be next
to my plot within a few minutes of
walking depending on how many of you
want to become a lord or lady we could
build our own little Channel named
Kingdom 93. let me show you the
certificate here it is my certificate in
my new podcast set don't tell anyone yet
but we are gonna hang this up so that
way I'm officially a landlord in my
podcast set let's go so what happened in
China and what about Neo and Tesla got a
large consolidation of power
by President Xi Jinping and his
loyalists we got a show of huge Intel
the former president being escorted out
of the party Congress a sign that Xi
Jinping is now in full control and that
nobody should question XI jinping's
control and quite frankly it's not the
control markets wanted we also got zero
indication that covet zero policies
would be loosened something that
analysts across Wall Street had all been
expecting that we would get through this
next winter and then we would start
seeing some softening of covet zero
policies and an eventual removal of them
however China instead applauded their
coveted zero policies and if anything
double down on keeping them showing how
useful and effective they have been at
preventing covet spread and this
has driven the idea that that's it China
really doesn't care about anything other
than state-driven Enterprise private
Enterprise does not matter in China so
what's happening well there's the
highest level of selling of Chinese
stocks happening right now since
2016. companies like Baidu JD and
Alibaba all shaving over 10 percent the
Hong Kong Tech index is now down 50
percent for the year individually stocks
like jd.com are down 17 at the very
moment and
reality is even though GDP came in
slightly stronger than expected for
China many doubt the numbers I mean
quite frankly why wouldn't you doubt the
numbers I mean look at the Q2 earnings
report from Tesla okay this is the
second quarter one not the one that we
just had but the one before that so this
is over three months ago we got this
particular report here and Tesla gave us
a heads up they told us that they're
having demand destruction in China and
that they're having to competitively
price their vehicles in China after this
report they started doing Insurance
subsidies now they're reducing their
prices in China China is having a
painful environment but it's a not just
Tesla that's suffering it's also
companies like Neo that are suffering
right now this morning we went through
the Neo earnings and earnings call with
course members and we've seen a
faltering of growth rates as Neo is
trying to ramp their Factory number two
to create the et5 almost well actually
exclusively in that factory now we
expect expect we expect explosive growth
to come from Neo in uh the fourth
quarter just like we expect explosive
growth to come from Tesla in the fourth
quarter but both of these or companies
that have been ramping factories during
a very hellish inflationary time to ramp
factories Factory two for Neo and Berlin
and Austin for Tesla the only difference
is between the two is Tesla has still
been producing vehicles at a 50 run rate
whereas when you actually look at Neo
they haven't been they've actually seen
their growth kind of stagnate kind of
like this chart that I've drawn here and
you could see that in their quarterly
numbers in their last earnings report
and so Neo not having as much growth
success as obviously Tesla but both of
these companies getting absolutely
hammered on Chinese demand and what's
happening in China Neo right now Neo
adrs are trading down 22 and in order
for you to say it's time for me to buy
the dip on Neo you really have to ask
yourself a do you believe in the Chinese
government do you actually want to
invest in the Chinese government do you
believe that the Chinese consumer is
going to go back to spending even though
they know their economy and shambles in
their saving like crazy well and do you
believe that Neo is actually going to
successfully be able to ramp that uh
Factory number two to the point we
actually get to some strong growth rates
I mean maybe but right now the company's
still losing money we're still not at
levels we're teslaized now that's okay
because Neo is a newer company right
Tesla has over 39
000 supercharging stations you know
things you can plug into Neo has like
1100 battery swap stations and when it
comes to regular charging stations a
fraction of what Tesla is a much newer
company so it's not fair to line them up
part apart but Tesla didn't have this
sort of 2022 stall in growth that Neo
had and that stall is leading to a lot
of questions that will that et5 be able
to bring back their exponential growth
or not things to pay attention to and I
hate to say it but Chinese government
ain't here to help let's just say
markets did not get what they were
looking for here and remember this is a
country that started 52 000
infrastructure projects since January of
2022 and their production numbers are
still negative year over year so you
can't really blame Tesla for cutting
prices in their cars in China by on
average five percent across the board
because what you have is ugly in China
you have an economy that's faltering you
have growth that's stalling probably
quite frankly in a recession and you
have a government that is now emboldened
to keep its economy in a recession but
hey some say there could be some good
news in all of this maybe not
necessarily investing in Chinese stocks
but China could end up being an anchor
for Global inflation
that is as China's economy stalls it
could sink the global inflation
countries across the world are dealing
with with the exception of course of
China is actually actively trying to
stimulate their economy because they're
already so far on the right
other than that though it seems quite
risky to invest in China right now as a
foreign investor as the country it
doubles down onto covet zero and doubles
down on state-run businesses over
private Enterprise and now the fears of
a lost decade in China are truly coming
together let me know your thoughts in
the comments down below or are you
investing in Chinese stocks at the
moment or are you taking your losses in
Tesla instead
