Jerome Powell *JUST* Issued 3 *MAJOR WARNINGS* [Fed]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
wow Jerome Powell just gave us three
warnings I have not yet heard Jerome
Powell talk about and boy oh boy we have
got to talk about these three warnings
because as po wowi was dishing them out
I was trading with the folks in the
stocks and sight group check it out over
at meetkevin.com pulled an 81% over 15
to 20K return right there during the
Powell meeting and if you want to be
part of it you want to see how I talked
about entry you want to see how I talked
about I think it's consolidating here
and it's about to bounce at time to get
out of here cuz it was short uh go check
it out uh the Discord and uh in the
community over at meetkevin.com price
will be going up on Friday so what were
the three warnings that Powell gave so I
want to start with those warnings and
then I'm going to get into the generic
stuff okay so let's start with the
warnings first drone Powell talks about
the revisions which we went into this
wondering is J pal going to talk about
the revisions and he did he talked about
how usually GDI is your best indicator
for the economy and it was diverging
from GDP where GDP was higher and gross
domestic income was lower and that was
revised up so we said that removed a
downside risk from the economy which is
good because now you know it doesn't
look like consumers are spending beyond
their means but their personal savings
rate is actually okay and they're
spending what they could be spending
without economic concern this is good
that's actually not the bad news item
but it leads into the first warning that
he gave he says right now there is a
tension though between spending and GDP
data and the labor market consider this
for a moment the Atlanta fed real now
GDP sits at uh uh you know what is it uh
3.1% which is which is remarkably
high and that's really good but the
labor market is substantially weakening
and Jerome Powell gave the first of
three warnings that I have not seen him
give before the first warning was the
labor market gives better data than
GDP in fact the labor market is better
at predicting
downturns and so there is a tension
today between strong GDP and spending
data and weaker labor market data that
was a really big warning now does end up
saying the labor market isn't right now
indicating a big downturn well no du
Po's going to say that because you know
the second Jerome Powell says hey by the
way everything's going to
sh9t then you're actually going to have
a really rapid market crash it's going
to be
terrible so of course he can't say that
of course he has to like anytime he sees
bad data he kind of has to go no no no
no no no no of course but he's giving us
a warning war in he is giving us a heads
up here and if you pay attention you'll
see all three of these warnings I mean
I'm going to signpost them for you okay
so warning one labor market gives better
data than GDP based on prior recessions
and prior downturns and right now
there's attention we have higher
spending and GDP data and worse labor
market data hm interesting okay that's
warning number one warning number two he
says look we are re-calibrating due to
strengthen the economy not weakness and
then he's asked which sounds bullish
right I mean he's HW toing us uh
and he's asked did the 50 basis point
cut increase your confidence in a soft
Landing now the answer here by default
should be yes I mean it increased my
thoughts of a soft Landing I'm like if
they're going to move fast on 50 BPS
let's go soft Landing by the dip f it
let's go they're going to cut rates to
preserve a soft Landing but that was
actually
not what Jerome Powell did I'm going to
try to reenact it here I'm going to suck
at it but short of actually pulling up
the video he's asked did the 50bp cut
increase your confidence of a soft
Landing uh the cut reflects our optimism
on 2%
inflation
what what that's scary okay when you
combine that with him saying the labor
market data is more important to the
fate of the economy right now than JDP
and the labor market data is weakening
and did it increase your confidence in a
soft Landing it increases our confidence
on
inflation oh hello that was like the
biggest second warning I could have ever
freaking seen right here from japal and
I don't know that markets are paying
attention to this uh but we'll talk
markets and some of the other things
that were said in just a moment but the
warning number one labor market is more
important than GDP number two do you
have increased optimism in soft ltic oh
that was weird that was it was just
weird maybe we'll pull it up towards the
end of this video and the third one okay
we got to talk about the third one I
just do want to mention
go to meetkevin.com use that coopa code
if you haven't yet remember you get
lifetime access and I want to shout out
some of y'all because I really
appreciate those of you who just joined

then anytime you want to see one one of
these events is going on what's Kevin
trading you could see it too no
guarantees obviously we can we could
only make money there there's that's
impossible there are going to be red
times there are going to be red days uh
and I try to share those on the channel
as well but anyway let's focus on the
third warning the third warning is that
labor market Market revisions were only
through March a lot of people may not
have been paying attention to this but
maybe this will ring a bell for you
remember when he talked about the qcw
revisions Ah that's called the quarterly
census of employment and wages and it is
a revisions adjustment the qcw only
revised the labor market through
March okay well what about April May
June June July August and September we
don't have revisions for those 6 months
yet is that six uh five we don't have
revisions for those months yet and so
these are three really big warnings from
Powell now what else did he say well
some other things that he said were uh
many indicators show that the labor
market is presently solid right this is
an important thing to remember is right
now the trajectory is down okay let's
say this is a solid labor market where
my hand hand is and this is the
trajectory take a picture you take a
picture right here and you're like H
it's actually pretty good right now I'll
read off what JP said unemployment rate
within range of natural rate prime age
workers near historic High women's
participation rate near all-time Highs
real wages increasing in line with gains
in productivity we've never heard him
read that crap off ever he's never
talked about women's particip a rate
come on folks he's never talked about
this trash it's like he's lying through
his teeth to try to make to to convince
us that everything's fine but it's CU
they're taking a snapshot like this well
unless they create a floor which I don't
think they're going to be able to with a
50 BP cut that's lagging especially
since the higher end of the yield curve
is going up and you're seeing more
inversion today than you've seen before
I think we're at like 14 basis points
inverted right now there's not actually
a floor there so there's the entire
potential of the labor Market continue
and
go and then you're in recession so I
mean look my opinion is much like what J
house says is just watch the next two
labor reports if we get 140 140 on the
labor reports okay maybe we've
stabilized maybe we have found a floor
if we get 130 120 100 okay we're not
stabilizing
we're and it's bad you know if we start
getting uh 150 160 170 then it's a sign
that we're going
that was a close one I me like that's
that's basically what Powell's like he's
like he's like a little kid playing with
his hands right now uh job openings
moving down but just above one again
that's the snapshot that was rarely the
case prior to 2019 labor markets have
cooled we do not believe we need any
further labor market cooling inflation
expectations remain anchored the economy
is solid goal is to restore price
stability economic conditions set the
table for further easing the goal in the
past uh you know over the past few years
has been get inflation down without a
painful rise in unemployment and so far
we've been able to accomplish that that
is a form of declaring Victory which is
dangerous though because you might start
creating some oopsy dupsies here on jobs
if the economy evolves broadly as
expected we will move towards neutral
that actually LED uh yields to move up
because pal started suggesting that hey
you know if you look at the SCP people
were pricing in basically 25 and 25 left
and so
uh it might even mean we skip a meeting
that was hawkish so you had markets
briefly sell off you had yields go up
you had some turl tumult over there in
markets for a moment but the reality is
if you look at the three big warnings
drum Powell gave all all this stuff
about the summary of economic
projections doesn't matter he himself
tells you that it's not the summary of
economic projections that matters it's
the incoming data that matters and the
incoming data that we get in the next
jobs report the next CPI report and the
next job job's report all before the FED
Meeting those are going to matter the
most and so you really need to mark your
calendar for what's coming up over here
if you have not done yet so please mark
your calendar for this right now it is
it is critically important okay do this
now okay that was like very untimely and
kind of late but whatever w
jilt data comes out tomorrow at 7:00
a.m. California time along with
construction spending month over month
S&P Global us manufacturing pmis come
out tomorrow at 6:45 California time
I'll be streaming live on the meet Kevin
Market live Channel where you can see me
for free Yap about the market in the
morning tomorrow at 7: a.m. we will also
get ISM Manufacturing and prices paid
prices paid are expected to be expanding
at 53.5 with manufacturing expected to
be in contraction below 50 at 47.5 that
would be a slight uptick actually on
manufacturing from the prior read in a
slight downtick on prices page which
would actually be good if we actually
got those
numbers on Wednesday we expect the ADP
employment report to come in at 125
which would actually be an uptick from
the 99 in the prior report on Thursday
we expect initial jobless claims at 222
and continuing claims at 1830 both of
these numbers relatively stable though
remember continuing claims and joess
claims tend to lag then uh we will also
get ISM Services uh index at 51.6 and
price is paid at
56.5 uh both uh well price is paid
decelerating a little bit on the
forecast and the overall index
accelerating on10th of a basis one/
tenth of a percent so not a big deal
then on Friday which is 104 October 4th
that is a coupon expiration day at 11:59
p.m. we will be raising the price of the
course again I do raise the price as
more people get into the course and we
add value over time including the full
archive you get of course member live
streams the change in non-farm payrolls
is expected to come in at 150,000 jobs
that is actually higher than the prior
release of 142,000 obviously we expect
both of those numbers to be rigged and
we'll expect to see a nice bloop
revision down but if the trend is up on
the monthly figure at least that would
be an indication of better so if we get
something like south of 130 markets are
going to get really pissed and start
pricing in recession again if we get a
beat and we get something like 160
170 well markets might actually be very
euphoric and you might see yields move
higher expecting the unemployment rate
to remain stable at 4.2% expecting
average hourly earnings to come in on a
month over month AT3 a slight
deceleration from last month's point4 so
that's the data coming up uh and I think
it's kind of important to watch some of
that data uh okay cool everybody's all
right uh yeah we use these radios by the
way I got radios all over the place but
it's mostly because when my team hits me
up and they're like hey we got a course
member with a question or we got a you
know uh you know client for stock hack
with a financial advisory question or
somebody wants to sign up but they have
a question or whatever my team can ping
me but they also ping each other on here
and I just pay attention uh so anyway uh
okay so let me quickly see inversion
right now is that true are we at 14
basis points only of uninverted that's
pretty low checking checking ah
14.82% course blah blah blah I'm
actually surprised you don't have the
suits pointing out the three warnings
that I gave uh wealth of talent
collecting data blah blah blah blah blah
I thought those three warnings were
crystal clear
but you know I don't I don't think uh
the soo see it but I mean I thought it
was blatantly obvious labor market gets
better data than GDP and the labor
market is weakening uh then we
had okay come on uh then we had uh did
the 50 BP increase your confidence of
soft Landing big pause that was awkward
okay very awkward uh and then of course
the uh we don't have the revisions yet
on the qcw which is also a warning
because you know we really need to know
what's been happening over the last uh
few uh few months here so uh very
important uh let me see if I can get the
uh Powell's reaction there we'll briefly
look I don't know if I'll be able to
find
it because it's probably just going to
take too long to get it but uh I should
have marked it oh well uh yeah I don't
think I'll be able to get it uh
I remember kind of what he looked like
in it he sort of looked
down but you know that happens a
lot so it's it's not going to be very
clear where it is let's see what
comments people
have uh khed says Kevin is shorting uh
no I'm not you're a liar and a scumbag
uh I have I have
literally no short exposure with the
exception of a tiny tiny short Bitcoin
exposure which is actually doing really
well today uh so you know I I I think
people think when I'm a bear that I'm
shorting I'm not you I shorted for like
10 minutes with a put option because
there was a trade opportunity somebody
says not impressed by the walkie-talkies
I don't really care what you're
impressed by or not uh so it doesn't
really matter so what do you guys
thinking about BTC price remember BTC is
a risk asset so it's going to move with
risk assets let me see if this is the
part and and um uh uh sound data sets
just saying a level to ensure um no
where if only I could find you're just
going to probably have to just s of roll
with me on that I suppose somebody could
go through it themselves time of of um
of a lot of trade issues and it was it
was yeah geopolitical yeah it take too
long to find it uh but anyway let me
look at some other commentary here just
because I want to include this here uh
let's see
here uh the strike you should see my
video this morning on the strike
employment data is flat or good I'm
flipping bullish by Friday says Jeremiah
yeah uh hey you know what if the
unemployment data starts moving up
that's
great Kevin you just insulted a lot of
women by saying the commo women's job
participation is crap that's okay you're
totally taking out of context what I
said and it's like honestly scummy to
take it out of context like that I'm
saying Powell is listing a bunch of crap
that he's never talked about before to
try to make it seem like everything is
okay and it's not this is not a comment
about women how stupid do you have to be
to think that I was making a comment
about women you're taking something out
of context and you're a numbnut for even
suggesting that this the stupidest thing
I've ever heard do you think I'm here to
like I'm the biggest supporter of women
ever uh freaking loser
um so anyway contr F the trans
transcript's not out yet uh let's see
here what's your reasoning behind BTC
short well it's it's really just a
recessionary hedge right like it's a
tiny tiny tiny position and uh there
there are a few ways to hedge for a
recession you could go long bonds uh and
then you could short risk assets uh I
think that uh Bitcoin is stuck in a
pattern of hitting lower highs so I
think the downside to a short BTC is
somewhat low until we get confirmation
that there's no recession and then of
course you need to remove shorts right
away right but I I basically don't uh
you know uh uh think shorting broadly is
a really good strategy right
now uh let's see
here Israel tank just rolled into
Southern Lebanon thank you for saying
that uh yeah that's that's not good the
geopolitical iions are just are just
continuing to rise uh and it's very bad
unfortunately uh but uh you know that's
that's what you get uh with uh mess with
Israel right
so somebody here says I know great
analysis on everything ke going
yeah uh let's see
here how much of this was because he
knows the data in the next two weeks
it's possible he does know
uh that that is something else to
consider is it is possible that jpw does
know that we're about to get some weak
data and that's why he just three times
gave us a very clear labor market
warning uh and uh and I think that's uh
uh it's it's worth paying attention to
snowflakes melting fast in the
chat Tesla under 200 in the near term
your opinion Kevin um you really need a
broader market movement to the downside
I do think if you have a a recession uh
Tesla probably does get hurt very
substantially uh and its valuation is
extremely high right now so uh yeah you
have to be a little cautious about
that uh
so just takes one incident for
geopolitics to get out of hand this is
true you really you just have to watch
Iran uh that's that's definitely an
issue a thank you Patel appreciate
that any videos about the Tesla 1010
event coming up yes I will uh I will uh
make a 10 10 video somebody here says
Kevin needs to drink more black coffee
to increase his manhood what do you
think this is huh it's all black coffee
in there can I show it to you without
spilling it all over my
desk there it is you can see a little
bit there with without me spilling black
coffee baby black I like it black
m I actually don't it's pretty
disgusting but I'm on a challenge so I
cut out the milk I know it's pretty
lame pretty lame all right so I think
that's pretty good how is the alcohol
free challenge gun honestly pretty well
uh I'll give you like a really for for
those of you who are still here I'll
give you quick
synopsis uh of how I feel about that cuz
I wrote it down yesterday because a good
buddy of mine asked me about it so what
I wrote is mornings are much easier I
could wake up earlier substantially more
easily I uh number one number two
ironically my anxiety is lower I used to
like drinking to lower my anxiety but
now I just don't have the anxiety in the
first
place uh number three it mentally feels
like I'm contributing to my weight
challenge it's also physiologically
true uh I also know it's very powerful
optically for the
children uh and then uh uh and then also
just like business uh optic wise and
career optic wise uh very very important
so yeah anyway uh I appreciate yall uh
what is this here Head and Shoulders on
the weekly most of you are woke Bots
says somebody in the chat
okay let me see here oh dude I was
literally just going to go to QQQ to
look on the week chat and rather than
writing in QQQ I wrote
woke I got an
error uh this is uh I don't know I don't
know what what chart you're looking
at looks a little messy a little
messy uh anyway y all pretty funny
pretty funny oil plays at these levels
would you touch leverag plays I
generally don't like leverag plays
because they keep you in a hole I'd
rather go for non-leveraged and then buy
an option because like I can calculate
Theta Decay but but the triple leveraged
on volatility is just a bad idea but uh
yeah I mean if you get an Iranian
retaliation oil oil you know might see a
spike but then there are also
recessionary concerns you have to
balance that with because if you go into
recession oil goes down so it's there's
not a clear Direction on oil which makes
it less desirable for me whereas if
there are geopolitical risks that could
potentially cause a recession long bonds
will go down or long bonds will go up in
value uh and a recession will lead long
bonds up in value if there's a
stagflationary concern gold goes up if
there's no stagflation no inflation and
we don't go into recession well then you
just want to be like you know growth
stocks like NASDAQ uh to the Moon right
and and Bitcoin honestly will do really
well uh so somebody here says Henry says
Kevin chill my man there's always going
to be idiots saying idiotic things on
message boards just skip over those
don't let it boil blood what are you
trying to say Henry I'm just kidding I
appreciate you I I I do I I uh I do uh
sometimes uh let the com I I just I
treat every comment as a human and and
uh it's bad because that it it can it
can affect the psyche uh anyway uh again
