HOLY SMOKES
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Well, it looks like the Federal Reserve
is about to start printing money because
institutions are now talking about not
FOMO, not SOMO, but rather to. Yes,
markets are now talking about temporary
open market operations coming and that a
tommo like facility to support money
markets and reserves is coming to make
sure we don't have a liquidity crisis in
markets. Now, not only do we need to
talk about why that's bullish, but we
got to talk about expectations for the
rate cut tomorrow and what JPL might
say, as well as look at the summary of
economic projections. Because the last
time we looked at the summary of
economic projections, I said it was
bullish that we would break through 600
on the cues. And you can actually look
back at my sheet in green is what we
wrote down last time. Last time we
looked at this, we said this is dovish.
It is bullish rates down. It's bullish
cues going through 600. And folks,
that's exactly what happened. Now, we're
going to talk about what we expect to
happen tomorrow. But let's first get
started with why did this skyrocket? Why
all of a sudden did we see Bitcoin
skyrocket right at 7 a.m.? Why did we
see Circle go full circle and start
rebounding off the floor? Why are we
seeing SIM come back to 64? Why are we
seeing Tesla rocket off$433.99?
Why are you seeing coreweave reject but
actually get to and then reject within
three cents of my line? Mind you, all of
these all of these right here were those
well with the exception of Bitcoin. We
just watched this one. But all of these
that I just mentioned, Circle, SAM,
Tesla, Cororewave, all mentioned in our
alpha report this morning. You can use
coupon code Santa reinvest at meet.com
if you want. But we got to answer why.
So why did this happen? This bounced
right at 7 a.m. We covered it in our
course live stream this morning.
remember you get lifetime access uh was
because of Jolt's data actually really
impressing. Usually this Jolts data
comes in pretty damn close to
expectations. Not only did today's
numbers not come in close to
expectations, but they smashed. They
absolutely smashed. Uh it was really
good. The the numbers were so bullish
that not only did we compare them to the
ADP numbers, but we updated the bare
bull scale to a 56.
The numbers are bullish. Uh we updated
the bear bull scale because of jolts and
the weekly ADP data which really didn't
get a lot of news. JP Morgan says
consumer is still healthy. We'll see.
Well, hopefully the consumer can step up
and we can start getting job growth
again like what we saw in Canada.
Hopefully that's not all part-time. But
you got to think about this with the ADP
report. What did we get with ADP? Weekly
ADP which got like no attention this
morning suggested that we are growing at
4750 jobs per week. Now, that initially,
you might be like, Kevin, that's
poultry. That's terrible. That sounds
like nothing. But it works out to about
19,000 per month. A little bit more
because week versus month, a little bit
more than that. So, I'll call it about
20,000 per month. And as long as we're
positive over zero, I think we're above
the break even rate of employment. Now,
I'm not saying there aren't problems in
the labor market. They're definitely we
got to pay attention to these. That's
why we're we're just slightly above
mid-range. Well, let's put it this way.
I'm adding stocks to my top 10 list of
stocks to buy. We got a full list of top
10 socks out. Uh we just added number 10
this morning. Uh that's doing well and
so is uh our number nine from last week.
These are great. Uh but you can see
those all at me.com in the alpha report.
But anyway, this 20,000 jobs roughly on
a monthly. If break evens around 0 to
20k, we're basically at break even,
which means the unemployment rate should
stay stable as long as the participation
rate doesn't skyrocket. Now, if a lot of
people go back to work, the
participation rate could skyrocket or we
get more layoffs. Of course, then we're
going to have problems and we're going
to have poopy dupies. That's why you
want to be cautious. And it's exactly
why I think we're now not just talking
FOMO, fear of missing out, or somo,
sadness of missing out, but that the Fed
is going to turn on the tomo money
printer. Yeah, we'll talk about that.
Now, why would the Fed turn on the money
printer for tomo? And how does that
work? Well, in part, I believe it's
because I think when we get the summary
of economic projections tomorrow, I
think we're going to see a bump in the
real GDP projections for 2026. I think
they'll bump that up. And so, I'll go
ahead and make my prediction right here.
So, my prediction, and I'll make a note
that uh green was September, red is 129.
Okay. So, what do we have here? 129.
There we go. Okay. So, my prediction is
that they'll actually write this up to
20 tomorrow. So, I think this is going
to go to two. I think this will actually
go to 46 for the end of next year. And
that's going to be in anticipation of
the labor force participation rate going
up due to participation rising.
Uh, and then I also think we'll have a
bump on inflation and I think that
they're going to take this PCE level.
Maybe not this number. This might go
like 27, but I actually think core has
the potential of indicating I I'll go 27
as well. I think a little bump on both
of these. I core might go 28, but I'll
go 27 here. Uh, we also, you know,
previously we anticipated five cuts by
the end of 2027. If you included
September, that would be accurate. But I
actually think that's been revised more
to about four cuts. That would be
October, December, and two in 2025.
That's sort of the soft landing
expectation right now for the summary of
economic projections. Uh this would be
the um you know, four rate cuts uh of uh
a de two in 2025 equals mostly a soft
landing play.
The issues would be twofold. uh labor
force participation rising or layoffs
rising. Uh not seeing that right now. Uh
which is good. Again, the ADP numbers
this morning were great and the Jules
numbers, the fact that we saw job
openings up, great. Now, job quits were
down. So, people are nervous about the
job market, but layoffs
not enough to really cause a big shakeup
yet. Hopefully, our comboy stays that
way. and job openings rising was a
really bullish surprise. And so it's
holding that 10-year yield a little bit
elevated, which is contributing a little
bit to funding stress. Now remember, the
Federal Reserve stopped QT. QT is over,
right? QT ended on December 1st. It's
been about 9 days. So, not only did
quantity tightening end, and we see this
repo stress hasn't shown up since
December 2nd, which could just be
residual overnight from December 1st,
but we have not seen a single bar chart
here show up on the repo facility,
suggesting maybe ending quantitative
tightening was a good thing. But now
we're talking to Tommo. So, what the
hell is too?
FOMO. SOMO.
No. Sounds like that comedian, you know,
who's like, "So, if C O M B is comb,
what's B O M B? Boom. No, bomb."
I I love those grammar things. I think
they're hilarious.
>> No.
>> But anyway, uh if you go to this tommo,
uh in honor of him, who's now dead, the
guy, the comedian. But anyway, uh not
FOMO, not SOMO, but Tommo. These are
temporary open market operations. Now,
this is not technically quantitative
easy, okay? It's technically QE light or
or QE.
QE temporary, right? It's sort of like
overnight QE is the way to think about
it. Basically, the Fed says, "Yo, we're
going to print money to support
overnight borrowing, but we're going to
pay off that borrowing right away." And
and you know, the printing, we're going
to remove the printing right away. So,
we're gonna It's kind of like, all
right, basic human analogy. We ran the
vacuum cleaner like Luigi from Luigi's
Mansion,
sucked up as much money as we could,
okay? Turned off the vacuum cleaner. All
right. And now we're like, "All right,
boys. We're putting the vacuum away."
And then there's a little bit of private
credit stress. And so, what are they
doing? They're just sort of like
like they're revving the vacuum on and
off like really quickly like
uh that's kind of QE light. So it's like
but you also have the blower setting so
it flips between vacuum and blower. So
it's LIKE BLOW VACUUM BLOW VACUUM. It's
weird. I don't know if the analogy is
any good, but the bottom line of it is
it's designed to support the liquidity
challenges that you're seeing at banks,
aka private credit, because we know
private credit is basically sucking on
the titty of the banks. And if private
credit is sucking on the banks, and the
banks need liquidity. When the banks run
out of liquidity, private credit runs
out of liquidity. That's not good. But
if the banks get overnight liquidity,
private credit holds up and everything's
Gucci, so you can actually grow GDP.
That's the goal. Now, Morgan Stanley is
really bullish on robots. Okay, I'm just
going to throw this call in here. Okay,
look at this. Look at this. You ready
for this? China humanoid robotic survey.
We believe AI enabled robotics will help
usher in a third industrial revolution.
Well, like imagine now to plus robotic
revolution. And if you get the soft
landing, uh bullish catalyst, anyone?
>> Bullish catalyst.
>> Uh yeah. Uh, how about Santa rally or
coupon code Santa reinvest lifetime
access to membership. No, really, it's
actually incredible as long as you know
we don't fall off a cliff with the labor
market. But look at this. Uh, our GDP is
probably about $25 trillion. And they're
saying that AI enabled robots alone
could generate $25 trillion of GDP
uh alone
uh from robots. So, it's basically like
creating another America. It It's
literally like doubling today's America.
It's like doubling America 2025. And
think about how big of the American
economy, how big the American economy
is. You're doubling them. Like my
venture capital company, we invested in
uh Appronic, the humanoid robotics play.
Uh I personally invested in them when
they were like really risky and about to
go bankrupt and almost out of money at
like a $400 million valuation. Uh then
when they stabilized we invested them at
like a 17 valuation. At that point we
had our VC we invested in them there and
now the information is reporting that
they're worth somewhere around 5 billion
and I wouldn't be surprised if they keep
going because it's sort of like a
discount Tesla and given Tesla's
valuation a very discount Tesla. Uh, and
you know, there's talk that that
Appronic actually helped set up Tesla's
robotics, but you know, who knows? That
could be just a rumor mill. Uh, so
anyway, it is really interesting this
robotics play. And so this broadly is
long-term bullish, but the problem is I
do agree. I think China is going to eat
our lunch on the manufacturing. But
that's okay because even if China eats
our lunch on manufacturing, who's going
to buy the robots, right? China might
eat our lunch making the robots, but who
will buy the robots?
Americans. Americans will buy the
robots. It'll make us more productive.
Makes Americans more productive, right?
So, so we benefit from the productivity
benefits of the robots. Uh, so I'm I'm
very excited about that and obviously so
is Morgan sailing. But anyway, I mean
going back to Tommo over here, uh the
Federal Reserve tomorrow, we broadly
expect them to cut. Uh this data this
morning could be enough to keep Powell a
little bit hawkish. So, you know, expect
a little bit of volatility, but uh but
really, I mean, if they announced any
kind of Tommo facility is just pure
bullish. And so I think this talk about
Tommo along with like soft landing style
data is what really led to this rocket
ship in uh in in like Bitcoin and and
asset prices, you know, even Tesla. I
mean, I think the Morgan Stanley piece
by uh uh on robotics was was huge uh for
this. So it's absolutely phenomenal.
Uh and uh and and and Coreweave, you
know, coming back to its 90 line is is
huge. Although the one thing that's
weird today is that Nvidia, you know,
while it gained yesterday on news about
selling to China, if you look, you're
within about a buck 50 of where you were
before the China news, which kind of
suggests that there's, and I shouldn't
say this, but I'm going to say it. We
believe in you made it to the end of
this segment so I'll I'll reveal it but
we believe that the big PP place
>> big PP
>> right now this is my sort of protake if
you will no guarantees but I think you
know the noobs right now are saying hey
Kevin like it's you know we still got to
be in all the chips got to be on all
chips that may be true like Nvidia's
valuation is cheap okay they they're
like a 1.6 six peg. But I think the pro
is saying where's the money being made
from AI and it's in part Google, it's in
part AI software companies, but you have
to pick the good ones. And so I think
we're transitioning from from chips to
the AI software. And I think that's one
of the reasons Apple is booming so much,
which is ironic because while Apple's
got the software mode, they have
basically no AI. Now to some extent,
they're a little bit insulated from the
AI spend. And people believe this is
this is really a chart of the hope that
Apple will finally adopt good AI, right?
But I think that's the next phase of um
of where we sit now. I obviously also
feel so optimistic about uh about this.
I don't want a recession because I
honestly think as long as we don't have
a recession, we can hopefully knock on
wood IPO our product faster, right? We
got our, you know, invested house act.
Little disclaimer there. There's risk
with every investment, but but I'm of
the impression we we look at our app and
our software team and we're like, dude,
the things that we can do, not only once
we get our reinvest AI app out this
month,
uh, and y'all start using it and we add
more features, but beyond that, we move
from
into new real estate AI verticals. Uh,
just our road map is crazy in terms of
some of the uh, the plans that we have.
So, we're really really excited and uh
and so on in a biased manner, I don't
want a recession. Uh however, I'm aware
of the risks and being conservative uh
because I also uh I you know, you should
always be looking at investing as a
long-term outlook, right? Look at it as,
hey, how can I invest for the next 10 to
50 years for how fact? Those are my
50-year plays. My top 10 stocks to buy
list, those are my 10-year plays. Those
are stocks I'm looking at going like, I
want to I want to hold these for the
next 10 years. and how can I get more
exposure to them? So, pretty excited.
But this is good number. These are good
numbers. We'll talk Fed tomorrow. Uh
we'll be covering it live. And uh
overall, I got to say
>> bullish catalyst.
>> Yeah. So, there you have it.
>> Kevin's somebody we consider Kevin is
fantastic, too.
>> Kevin is very talented, but I don't know
it's going to be him, but he's a very
talented guy.
>> I think that Kevin's a brilliant guy,
and I think that we' we'd we'd all be
very lucky to have him. Why not
advertise these things that you told us
here? I feel like nobody else knows
about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes.
>> Congratulations, man. You have done so
much. People love you. People look up to
you.
>> Kevin Praat there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to
get your take.
