0:00

Well, it looks like the Federal Reserve

0:01

is about to start printing money because

0:03

institutions are now talking about not

0:06

FOMO, not SOMO, but rather to. Yes,

0:10

markets are now talking about temporary

0:12

open market operations coming and that a

0:15

tommo like facility to support money

0:18

markets and reserves is coming to make

0:21

sure we don't have a liquidity crisis in

0:24

markets. Now, not only do we need to

0:27

talk about why that's bullish, but we

0:28

got to talk about expectations for the

0:30

rate cut tomorrow and what JPL might

0:31

say, as well as look at the summary of

0:33

economic projections. Because the last

0:35

time we looked at the summary of

0:36

economic projections, I said it was

0:39

bullish that we would break through 600

0:41

on the cues. And you can actually look

0:43

back at my sheet in green is what we

0:45

wrote down last time. Last time we

0:47

looked at this, we said this is dovish.

0:50

It is bullish rates down. It's bullish

0:52

cues going through 600. And folks,

0:54

that's exactly what happened. Now, we're

0:58

going to talk about what we expect to

0:59

happen tomorrow. But let's first get

1:02

started with why did this skyrocket? Why

1:05

all of a sudden did we see Bitcoin

1:07

skyrocket right at 7 a.m.? Why did we

1:09

see Circle go full circle and start

1:13

rebounding off the floor? Why are we

1:15

seeing SIM come back to 64? Why are we

1:18

seeing Tesla rocket off$433.99?

1:21

Why are you seeing coreweave reject but

1:23

actually get to and then reject within

1:25

three cents of my line? Mind you, all of

1:28

these all of these right here were those

1:31

well with the exception of Bitcoin. We

1:32

just watched this one. But all of these

1:34

that I just mentioned, Circle, SAM,

1:36

Tesla, Cororewave, all mentioned in our

1:38

alpha report this morning. You can use

1:39

coupon code Santa reinvest at meet.com

1:42

if you want. But we got to answer why.

1:44

So why did this happen? This bounced

1:46

right at 7 a.m. We covered it in our

1:48

course live stream this morning.

1:50

remember you get lifetime access uh was

1:52

because of Jolt's data actually really

1:54

impressing. Usually this Jolts data

1:57

comes in pretty damn close to

1:58

expectations. Not only did today's

2:01

numbers not come in close to

2:02

expectations, but they smashed. They

2:05

absolutely smashed. Uh it was really

2:08

good. The the numbers were so bullish

2:10

that not only did we compare them to the

2:13

ADP numbers, but we updated the bare

2:15

bull scale to a 56.

2:18

The numbers are bullish. Uh we updated

2:21

the bear bull scale because of jolts and

2:23

the weekly ADP data which really didn't

2:25

get a lot of news. JP Morgan says

2:27

consumer is still healthy. We'll see.

2:29

Well, hopefully the consumer can step up

2:31

and we can start getting job growth

2:32

again like what we saw in Canada.

2:34

Hopefully that's not all part-time. But

2:36

you got to think about this with the ADP

2:38

report. What did we get with ADP? Weekly

2:40

ADP which got like no attention this

2:42

morning suggested that we are growing at

2:45

4750 jobs per week. Now, that initially,

2:48

you might be like, Kevin, that's

2:49

poultry. That's terrible. That sounds

2:51

like nothing. But it works out to about

2:53

19,000 per month. A little bit more

2:56

because week versus month, a little bit

2:57

more than that. So, I'll call it about

2:59

20,000 per month. And as long as we're

3:01

positive over zero, I think we're above

3:04

the break even rate of employment. Now,

3:06

I'm not saying there aren't problems in

3:07

the labor market. They're definitely we

3:09

got to pay attention to these. That's

3:10

why we're we're just slightly above

3:12

mid-range. Well, let's put it this way.

3:14

I'm adding stocks to my top 10 list of

3:16

stocks to buy. We got a full list of top

3:18

10 socks out. Uh we just added number 10

3:21

this morning. Uh that's doing well and

3:22

so is uh our number nine from last week.

3:25

These are great. Uh but you can see

3:26

those all at me.com in the alpha report.

3:29

But anyway, this 20,000 jobs roughly on

3:32

a monthly. If break evens around 0 to

3:34

20k, we're basically at break even,

3:36

which means the unemployment rate should

3:37

stay stable as long as the participation

3:40

rate doesn't skyrocket. Now, if a lot of

3:42

people go back to work, the

3:43

participation rate could skyrocket or we

3:45

get more layoffs. Of course, then we're

3:46

going to have problems and we're going

3:47

to have poopy dupies. That's why you

3:49

want to be cautious. And it's exactly

3:51

why I think we're now not just talking

3:53

FOMO, fear of missing out, or somo,

3:55

sadness of missing out, but that the Fed

3:57

is going to turn on the tomo money

3:59

printer. Yeah, we'll talk about that.

4:01

Now, why would the Fed turn on the money

4:03

printer for tomo? And how does that

4:05

work? Well, in part, I believe it's

4:08

because I think when we get the summary

4:10

of economic projections tomorrow, I

4:12

think we're going to see a bump in the

4:14

real GDP projections for 2026. I think

4:17

they'll bump that up. And so, I'll go

4:19

ahead and make my prediction right here.

4:21

So, my prediction, and I'll make a note

4:23

that uh green was September, red is 129.

4:29

Okay. So, what do we have here? 129.

4:34

There we go. Okay. So, my prediction is

4:38

that they'll actually write this up to

4:41

20 tomorrow. So, I think this is going

4:43

to go to two. I think this will actually

4:46

go to 46 for the end of next year. And

4:49

that's going to be in anticipation of

4:51

the labor force participation rate going

4:53

up due to participation rising.

4:57

Uh, and then I also think we'll have a

4:58

bump on inflation and I think that

5:01

they're going to take this PCE level.

5:03

Maybe not this number. This might go

5:05

like 27, but I actually think core has

5:09

the potential of indicating I I'll go 27

5:12

as well. I think a little bump on both

5:14

of these. I core might go 28, but I'll

5:17

go 27 here. Uh, we also, you know,

5:19

previously we anticipated five cuts by

5:21

the end of 2027. If you included

5:23

September, that would be accurate. But I

5:25

actually think that's been revised more

5:26

to about four cuts. That would be

5:28

October, December, and two in 2025.

5:31

That's sort of the soft landing

5:32

expectation right now for the summary of

5:34

economic projections. Uh this would be

5:36

the um you know, four rate cuts uh of uh

5:40

a de two in 2025 equals mostly a soft

5:45

landing play.

5:48

The issues would be twofold. uh labor

5:52

force participation rising or layoffs

5:55

rising. Uh not seeing that right now. Uh

6:00

which is good. Again, the ADP numbers

6:02

this morning were great and the Jules

6:04

numbers, the fact that we saw job

6:05

openings up, great. Now, job quits were

6:09

down. So, people are nervous about the

6:11

job market, but layoffs

6:15

not enough to really cause a big shakeup

6:18

yet. Hopefully, our comboy stays that

6:20

way. and job openings rising was a

6:22

really bullish surprise. And so it's

6:25

holding that 10-year yield a little bit

6:27

elevated, which is contributing a little

6:29

bit to funding stress. Now remember, the

6:32

Federal Reserve stopped QT. QT is over,

6:36

right? QT ended on December 1st. It's

6:39

been about 9 days. So, not only did

6:41

quantity tightening end, and we see this

6:43

repo stress hasn't shown up since

6:45

December 2nd, which could just be

6:47

residual overnight from December 1st,

6:49

but we have not seen a single bar chart

6:52

here show up on the repo facility,

6:54

suggesting maybe ending quantitative

6:56

tightening was a good thing. But now

6:58

we're talking to Tommo. So, what the

7:00

hell is too?

7:03

FOMO. SOMO.

7:07

No. Sounds like that comedian, you know,

7:10

who's like, "So, if C O M B is comb,

7:15

what's B O M B? Boom. No, bomb."

7:20

I I love those grammar things. I think

7:22

they're hilarious.

7:23

>> No.

7:24

>> But anyway, uh if you go to this tommo,

7:28

uh in honor of him, who's now dead, the

7:30

guy, the comedian. But anyway, uh not

7:33

FOMO, not SOMO, but Tommo. These are

7:35

temporary open market operations. Now,

7:37

this is not technically quantitative

7:40

easy, okay? It's technically QE light or

7:45

or QE.

7:47

QE temporary, right? It's sort of like

7:51

overnight QE is the way to think about

7:53

it. Basically, the Fed says, "Yo, we're

7:55

going to print money to support

7:57

overnight borrowing, but we're going to

7:59

pay off that borrowing right away." And

8:01

and you know, the printing, we're going

8:03

to remove the printing right away. So,

8:04

we're gonna It's kind of like, all

8:06

right, basic human analogy. We ran the

8:10

vacuum cleaner like Luigi from Luigi's

8:12

Mansion,

8:14

sucked up as much money as we could,

8:16

okay? Turned off the vacuum cleaner. All

8:18

right. And now we're like, "All right,

8:20

boys. We're putting the vacuum away."

8:22

And then there's a little bit of private

8:23

credit stress. And so, what are they

8:25

doing? They're just sort of like

8:29

like they're revving the vacuum on and

8:31

off like really quickly like

8:35

uh that's kind of QE light. So it's like

8:39

but you also have the blower setting so

8:41

it flips between vacuum and blower. So

8:43

it's LIKE BLOW VACUUM BLOW VACUUM. It's

8:47

weird. I don't know if the analogy is

8:49

any good, but the bottom line of it is

8:51

it's designed to support the liquidity

8:53

challenges that you're seeing at banks,

8:56

aka private credit, because we know

8:58

private credit is basically sucking on

9:00

the titty of the banks. And if private

9:02

credit is sucking on the banks, and the

9:04

banks need liquidity. When the banks run

9:06

out of liquidity, private credit runs

9:07

out of liquidity. That's not good. But

9:09

if the banks get overnight liquidity,

9:11

private credit holds up and everything's

9:12

Gucci, so you can actually grow GDP.

9:15

That's the goal. Now, Morgan Stanley is

9:17

really bullish on robots. Okay, I'm just

9:20

going to throw this call in here. Okay,

9:21

look at this. Look at this. You ready

9:22

for this? China humanoid robotic survey.

9:25

We believe AI enabled robotics will help

9:27

usher in a third industrial revolution.

9:30

Well, like imagine now to plus robotic

9:35

revolution. And if you get the soft

9:38

landing, uh bullish catalyst, anyone?

9:41

>> Bullish catalyst.

9:43

>> Uh yeah. Uh, how about Santa rally or

9:46

coupon code Santa reinvest lifetime

9:49

access to membership. No, really, it's

9:51

actually incredible as long as you know

9:54

we don't fall off a cliff with the labor

9:56

market. But look at this. Uh, our GDP is

9:58

probably about $25 trillion. And they're

10:01

saying that AI enabled robots alone

10:04

could generate $25 trillion of GDP

10:09

uh alone

10:11

uh from robots. So, it's basically like

10:13

creating another America. It It's

10:16

literally like doubling today's America.

10:18

It's like doubling America 2025. And

10:21

think about how big of the American

10:22

economy, how big the American economy

10:24

is. You're doubling them. Like my

10:26

venture capital company, we invested in

10:29

uh Appronic, the humanoid robotics play.

10:33

Uh I personally invested in them when

10:36

they were like really risky and about to

10:38

go bankrupt and almost out of money at

10:40

like a $400 million valuation. Uh then

10:42

when they stabilized we invested them at

10:45

like a 17 valuation. At that point we

10:48

had our VC we invested in them there and

10:51

now the information is reporting that

10:53

they're worth somewhere around 5 billion

10:56

and I wouldn't be surprised if they keep

10:58

going because it's sort of like a

10:59

discount Tesla and given Tesla's

11:02

valuation a very discount Tesla. Uh, and

11:05

you know, there's talk that that

11:07

Appronic actually helped set up Tesla's

11:09

robotics, but you know, who knows? That

11:11

could be just a rumor mill. Uh, so

11:13

anyway, it is really interesting this

11:15

robotics play. And so this broadly is

11:17

long-term bullish, but the problem is I

11:19

do agree. I think China is going to eat

11:21

our lunch on the manufacturing. But

11:23

that's okay because even if China eats

11:26

our lunch on manufacturing, who's going

11:27

to buy the robots, right? China might

11:31

eat our lunch making the robots, but who

11:35

will buy the robots?

11:38

Americans. Americans will buy the

11:41

robots. It'll make us more productive.

11:44

Makes Americans more productive, right?

11:47

So, so we benefit from the productivity

11:50

benefits of the robots. Uh, so I'm I'm

11:54

very excited about that and obviously so

11:56

is Morgan sailing. But anyway, I mean

11:57

going back to Tommo over here, uh the

11:59

Federal Reserve tomorrow, we broadly

12:02

expect them to cut. Uh this data this

12:04

morning could be enough to keep Powell a

12:08

little bit hawkish. So, you know, expect

12:10

a little bit of volatility, but uh but

12:12

really, I mean, if they announced any

12:15

kind of Tommo facility is just pure

12:18

bullish. And so I think this talk about

12:20

Tommo along with like soft landing style

12:22

data is what really led to this rocket

12:25

ship in uh in in like Bitcoin and and

12:28

asset prices, you know, even Tesla. I

12:30

mean, I think the Morgan Stanley piece

12:32

by uh uh on robotics was was huge uh for

12:36

this. So it's absolutely phenomenal.

12:39

Uh and uh and and and Coreweave, you

12:42

know, coming back to its 90 line is is

12:44

huge. Although the one thing that's

12:46

weird today is that Nvidia, you know,

12:48

while it gained yesterday on news about

12:52

selling to China, if you look, you're

12:55

within about a buck 50 of where you were

12:57

before the China news, which kind of

13:00

suggests that there's, and I shouldn't

13:02

say this, but I'm going to say it. We

13:04

believe in you made it to the end of

13:06

this segment so I'll I'll reveal it but

13:09

we believe that the big PP place

13:12

>> big PP

13:13

>> right now this is my sort of protake if

13:16

you will no guarantees but I think you

13:19

know the noobs right now are saying hey

13:21

Kevin like it's you know we still got to

13:23

be in all the chips got to be on all

13:24

chips that may be true like Nvidia's

13:26

valuation is cheap okay they they're

13:29

like a 1.6 six peg. But I think the pro

13:31

is saying where's the money being made

13:34

from AI and it's in part Google, it's in

13:37

part AI software companies, but you have

13:40

to pick the good ones. And so I think

13:42

we're transitioning from from chips to

13:45

the AI software. And I think that's one

13:47

of the reasons Apple is booming so much,

13:49

which is ironic because while Apple's

13:51

got the software mode, they have

13:52

basically no AI. Now to some extent,

13:55

they're a little bit insulated from the

13:56

AI spend. And people believe this is

13:59

this is really a chart of the hope that

14:01

Apple will finally adopt good AI, right?

14:05

But I think that's the next phase of um

14:08

of where we sit now. I obviously also

14:11

feel so optimistic about uh about this.

14:15

I don't want a recession because I

14:16

honestly think as long as we don't have

14:18

a recession, we can hopefully knock on

14:21

wood IPO our product faster, right? We

14:24

got our, you know, invested house act.

14:25

Little disclaimer there. There's risk

14:27

with every investment, but but I'm of

14:28

the impression we we look at our app and

14:30

our software team and we're like, dude,

14:32

the things that we can do, not only once

14:35

we get our reinvest AI app out this

14:37

month,

14:39

uh, and y'all start using it and we add

14:41

more features, but beyond that, we move

14:43

from

14:45

into new real estate AI verticals. Uh,

14:48

just our road map is crazy in terms of

14:50

some of the uh, the plans that we have.

14:51

So, we're really really excited and uh

14:53

and so on in a biased manner, I don't

14:56

want a recession. Uh however, I'm aware

14:58

of the risks and being conservative uh

15:01

because I also uh I you know, you should

15:04

always be looking at investing as a

15:05

long-term outlook, right? Look at it as,

15:07

hey, how can I invest for the next 10 to

15:10

50 years for how fact? Those are my

15:12

50-year plays. My top 10 stocks to buy

15:14

list, those are my 10-year plays. Those

15:16

are stocks I'm looking at going like, I

15:18

want to I want to hold these for the

15:19

next 10 years. and how can I get more

15:20

exposure to them? So, pretty excited.

15:23

But this is good number. These are good

15:25

numbers. We'll talk Fed tomorrow. Uh

15:27

we'll be covering it live. And uh

15:30

overall, I got to say

15:32

>> bullish catalyst.

15:34

>> Yeah. So, there you have it.

15:36

>> Kevin's somebody we consider Kevin is

15:38

fantastic, too.

15:39

>> Kevin is very talented, but I don't know

15:42

it's going to be him, but he's a very

15:43

talented guy.

15:44

>> I think that Kevin's a brilliant guy,

15:45

and I think that we' we'd we'd all be

15:47

very lucky to have him. Why not

15:48

advertise these things that you told us

15:50

here? I feel like nobody else knows

15:51

about this.

15:52

>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and

15:54

see how it goes.

15:54

>> Congratulations, man. You have done so

15:56

much. People love you. People look up to

15:57

you.

15:58

>> Kevin Praat there, financial analyst and

16:00

YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to

16:02

get your take.
