MAJOR Banks WARN of Mega Collapse Coming: PREPARE.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me Kevin here it was nine
days ago that I posted a YouTube video
titled going to cash and boy oh boy a
lot of things have actually gotten worse
since that video in this video we're not
just going to remind you that structural
CPI and PPI has stagnated against many
people's expectations which is a problem
but we're going to save that because we
already know about that we're going to
focus on some big issues and what Wells
Fargo Goldman Sachs just worn both of
them together and I'm going to show you
another chart that's a little scary but
before I do that I want to just quickly
show you what the heck happened after I
shorted Tesla I was not expecting to
make a 50% return on my put on Tesla now
if you're part of the stocks and
psychology of money course or really any
of the courses not only do we go live
every morning where we talk about my
strategies and the trades that I'm
making you're welcome to join those at
meetkevin.com but the stocks and
psychology money one gets all of my uh
notifications for when I actually input
these this was a trade here I made 50%
on within 24 hours I was blown away by
this partly because the market really
took a little bit of a beating today and
I think the beating the market gave us
today is just a warning an early warning
of what Goldman Sachs is actually
warning us about in this video we're
going to reveal how they're actually
telling you to start buying Hedges and
they're going to tell you where to buy
those Hedges so we'll talk about that
but first I want to make a correction
because I made a little oopsy dupsies I
showed you in my going short Tesla video
the Goldman Sachs Financial conditions
chart well my notes were based off of
this chart right here however the
onscreen image was an old image that was
my fault and I was moving the mouse
around an old image using what was in my
mind of this data now it amazingly
aligned the same that's why I didn't
catch it but the fact of the matter is
the same but I'm going to correct it
because when I make a mistake I am going
to tell you I effed up and I effed up
and we're going to fix it because that's
what you got to do everybody makes
mistakes and you got to fix your
mistakes so what do we have here 2024
you can clearly see we go out to today
over here and what I want you to notice
is the plummeting absolute plummeting
that continues to plummet in the Goldman
Sachs Financial conditions index now
this is a combination of vix stock
prices bond prices real estate you name
it it is basically credit availability
it's basically a way of saying hey how
easy is it uh to to get money or uh to
to basically you know do things when it
comes to finance whether it's banking or
otherwise uh and again it incorporates
market conditions and so that's why as
the market was rallying after the
stimulus explosion throughout the covid
period you have this massive period of
low uh Goldman Sachs Financial
conditions this makes sense but what I
want to do right now is I'm just going
to block this section out because we
know when helicopter money is coming
obviously you're going to have low
Financial conditions so let's block out
when we're literally handing out money
to people for a moment I I think that
would be reasonable for us to do I know
some people are like don't make changes
don't make changes no no no no I I think
we should realistically get rid of that
now what I want you to do because you
can get a clear picture of periods of
time where yes we may have had
accommodative monetary policy like uh
quantitative easing we didn't have blunt
stimulus checks right so you go back and
how low are Financial conditions today
relative to history well the start of Co
was one all right well I mean okay we
know that was all related to co and
panic so let's cover that one up all
right so what do we have outside of
covid in terms of financial conditions
well we have a low in 2018 oops and we
have a low in
2014 those were periods where inflation
and I want to be very very clear about
this inflation was averaging averaging
folks
1.7% that's why the Federal Reserve came
up with the LIE although I guess as they
say it's only a lie if uh if you don't
believe it it's not as in other words
put another way uh it's not a lie if you
believe it right dang it and I believe
it I bought it hookline Sinker but
anyway they had this uh accommodative
policy of ah well you know we just want
inflation to average 2% and the idea was
really what can we do to prop up this
1.7 and so we had these loose Financial
conditions in 2014 and 2018 which are
supportive of low inflation but what do
we have right now when we look at the
recent 3month measures of core inflation
well we're sitting really between 3 to 3
and a half% of core inflation this is
bad and numbers are coming in worse not
better uh and again there were a lot of
people who are like I saw the second
wave coming and who knows maybe this
second wave will only be a 3 to six
Monon blip and it'll all go away but
I'll tell you there are a lot of people
who didn't see the second wave coming uh
to a lot of an extent myself included I
was not expecting to see a second wave
uh that was this sticky we expected
owner's equivalent rents for example to
just be an anchor that would bring down
inflation I did revise my opinion to
think okay it's it's just it's going to
take longer to go away but maybe the
line won't be straight down it'll be a
little bit more flattened out that is
sort of something like this you know you
get a little wider of a path down but
the problem with that is that's not
happening either you're actually getting
a reignition of inflation and this is
bad and this is what's leading now
Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo to give us
big warnings about what might come next
so let's address that the very first
thing we get is a warning from Wells
Fargo and the warning from Wells Fargo
is very blunt they call it the
self-defeating prophecy of lower rates
and I wrote yeah this is really bad
basically uh but listen to this right
here in recent public comments Atlanta
Federal Reserve president boss uh uh
Federal Reserve president bosk were
counted informal discussions with
Business Leaders who were quote ready to
pounce at the first rate or hint of an
interest rate cut uhoh wait a minute
ready to pounce at the first hint of an
interest rate cut boy doesn't that sound
familiar that sounds like basically
everybody who's ready to buy electric
vehicles Solar Products houses expand
their business take up financing move
cash to stocks basically pile everything
in as soon as rate Cuts start well
that's a big red flag to the Federal
Reserve because some people well you
know might not want to wait for that a
lot of people might be all right we're
ready we're getting close all right aim
a lot of people like screw it boom let's
go let's spend well that props up the
economy it's one of the reasons we have
the Atlanta fed real GDP measure which
did come in lower today it came in at
2.3% but it's still well above where the
Federal Reserve expected we would be
this year most expected that this
economy would expand maybe 1 to 1 a 12%
this year and it's actually expanding
more part of this is potentially because
the Federal Reserve has been shouting
yes rate Cuts will come eventually for
the longest period in history at no
point in history have we ever talked
about rate cuts for this
long we've been talking about rate Cuts
since before rate Cuts started it's
scary and so that's actually been
propping up the economy because what's
happening is people are just spending
through it well that defeats the purpose
of what the Federal Reserve is trying to
accomplish sort of like I'll buy a house
now because I like that house and I'll
just refinance when rates come down
because we all know they're going to
come down well that self-fulfilling
prophecy defeats the whole point of
having rate hikes in the first place
well as a result of that Wells Fargo
suggests hey we are going to push back
uh our uh our penciling in of rate Cuts
but in my opinion they don't go anywhere
near far enough look at this they say
this does push the timing back somewhat
especially because inflation numbers are
incrementally higher in the back half of
the year we now have four rate Cuts
penciled in for 2024 with the first
occurring in June rather than may I read
this and I'm like what are you
absolutely smoking Wells Fargo and it
actually makes me concerned that you
have people on Wall Street who are
looking at what the Federal Reserve is
saying the Federal Reserve is saying
look three rate Cuts okay at the
beginning of the year with how low
inflation was plummeting I totally
agreed we're probably going to get more
than three rate Cuts probably okay but
this piece is not written at the
beginning of the year this piece is
written this week after we've gotten
multiple structurally higher inflation
reports and so again at the beginning of
the year if you thought yeah we'll get
more rate Cuts than three fair game now
for you to argue we're going to get more
than three rate Cuts you really have to
think something's going to break J or
well as Fargo here does not indicate
something's going to break they think
the fed's just going to basically have
four rate Cuts in the second half of the
year no freaking way my opinion is that
we should actually be at the opposite
side if they told us three at the
beginning of the year when inflation was
almost cured I mean we were ready to
declare Victory basically if they were
at three then they're probably at 0o to
two now there's no way you're still
sitting at three and obviously we're
going to get the rugging on the 20th of
March which is just 6 days away which is
also summer surgery day so but anyway
it's crazy March 20th is going to be a
problem because I think you're going to
get a fed that's going to remove at
least one rate cut in this one and then
they're going to see how the market
responds and guess what they're going to
do next in June they can rug you another
rate cutaway they can actually they
don't have to go incrementally super
bearish to absolutely destroy the
economy they could simply go all right
it's the March SCP meeting let's get it
down to two rate cuts and then in may
they hold and then in June they don't
cut either and they go let's get the
forecast down to one rate cut and just
see how the economy does is the economy
is still doing well or Jobs still
holding up so far jobs are still holding
up but you know what's not holding up
delinquency is now this is a nominal
figure but even if you factor in
inflation this figure is 40% higher uh
than the nominal figure before the
pandemic inflation if you assume
inflation's 30% we are now above
delinquency rates on all loans and
leases to Consumers Credit Cards and all
commercial banks by at least 10
percentage points compared to 2019
that's inflation adjusted you've gone
from 22.7 over here in uh billions of
dollars now to 32.1 and guess what it's
going straight up now that's actually a
scary line why is this so freaking scary
cuz look usually you have the Sabertooth
over here where it's like it goes up it
comes down goes up it goes down and then
you have to draw a trend line I don't
need a trend line over here this is
nasty enough it's basically
vertical now I know there's some
normalization here but this is not a
year-over-year percentage comparison
this is nominal millions of dollars now
we can change it we could easily change
it to a percentage comparison which is
fine and what do we see well the
percentage the rate of increase is
higher than what we've had an 08 but I
usually don't like doing that because
you did come out of a period where it
was basically impossible to have
defaults right postco so I like this
millions of dollars comparison and we're
basically skyrocketing like we did
during the recession and right after the
recession kind of weird but it's
something to pay attention to this
straight line usually happens in oopsy
dupsies times and what is that leading
to well it's leading Goldman Sachs in
part to say oh dear it's time for some
Hedges after all we have Goldman Sachs
here giving us three risk factors they
suggest the S&P 500 is at all-time highs
and we have exceptionally low volatility
measures this has a large potential for
a near-term draw down what a great day
for it to be March 20th but Goldman
Sachs thinks it's more likely actually
to be April who knows everybody's guess
is as good as anybody else's supposedly
anywh who the second risk they provide
is a tech draw down risk now the tech
draw down risk is simply that tech
stocks have rallied over 50% and
essentially there are plenty of cheap
options to hedge yourself with some of
these really elevated Tech names and
then of course you've got Tech risks or
just Chinese risks in general regarding
election catalysts leading to
potentially higher volatility with
stocks to uh with exposure to China okay
well where else do you have exposure to
China well nobody really cares about
nvidia's exposure to China anymore
because what's happened well nvidia's
exposure to China has just basically
frankly turned into doesn't matter it
just doesn't matter because well you
have so much other money coming from AI
but there are plenty other American
companies that have exposure to China
Apple Starbucks Tesla some of these
companies get 15 to 30% of their
revenues from China so yes Chinese risks
are actually real in the American
economy as well and this is absent like
China invading Taiwan another potential
risk and this is really just sort of
like a little sidebar tangent but
there's a fantastic piece today about uh
in Bloomberg actually about uh from uh
Bloomberg Economist here who suggest
that there is a flood of electric
vehicle production in China and although
this flood of electric vehicle
production in China making new cheap EVs
and sort of blowing up how many EVS are
produced probably won't affect the uh
the American Market directly because we
essentially prevent these Chinese
vehicles from being imported in America
which there's a limitation to that right
at some point if we can have a lot
cheaper cars by importing Chinese stuff
in the future and we have better
relations with China in the future
Chinese cars will come flood America at
some point in the future but doesn't
matter so much what matters is the
competition you're creating in all the
other Auto markets so again take a
company like Tesla they are competing
directly in both Europe and China as
well as other places around the world
with Chinese EV makers and China is
stimulating the snot out of these now
remember Tesla was one of the few
companies who negotiated that there
would be no Chinese ownership of the
Shanghai gigafactory that's really rare
usually the Chinese Communist Party
partners with corporations in China but
during these boom times they really
wanted Tesla to build out the
infrastructure for their own EVS so they
could basically well compete with Tesla
right it's like using your enemy to make
your own stuff a lot better that's kind
of what's happened and then no surprise
some of the the expansions of Shanghai
have started to uh stall a little bit in
favor of other companies getting
subsidized like byd now what's
fascinating here is having a partnership
with China sucks in good times but it's
good in bad times times are bad right
now for EVS so no partnership no subsidy
from the Chinese government for Tesla
oopsy dupsies but anyway this is just an
example of how China can affect you but
the uh Goldman Sachs team actually
recommends you buy volatility index call
options for April expiring at
$16 uh now I don't have a position in
the vix I might open one if I do I'll
send an alert to all the course members
in the stocks and psychology of money
group even if you don't want the course
content you just want to be part of our
course member live streams where we do
fundamental and technical analysis every
morning right after I close the market
morning live stream I go right into it
we usually do 30 to 40 45 minutes on
average of Q&A uh Deep dive analysis you
want to be a part of this it's a really
great way to enhance the changes that
we're seeing coming so check that out by
going to meetkevin.com that's also where
you'll see a link to the millionaire
Symposium event which is uh expected
well it's it's happening June 21st to
June 23rd and it is happening in Vegas
so Ben Malo will be there I'll be there
Ross Gerber will be there we've got some
more speaker announcements coming as
well so we're super excited to share
those with you and uh yeah anyway going
back to Goldman Sachs here they're
recommending volatility calls mostly
because they think the vix should go to
21.5 well I want you to see what the vix
looks like right now when we go over to
Weeble so jump on over to Weeble and
what do you have look at that Trend that
is a little bit of an oopsy dupsy why is
it an oopsy doopsy well because you've
got this perfect downward Channel we're
basically we're near probably in the
lower 30% of that channel and it's
probably primed for a runup especially
if we do end up getting that rugging
from the FED now by the way I use this
uh platform for trading as well oh look
my p&l this morning or today on on a
crap day too uh is up 24.6% that's great
the market was pretty red too but anyway
if you want to use this platform go to
metkevin.com
Weeble and you'll get up to uh 20 free
stocks worth between $3 and
$3,000 some of them could be fractional
some of them could be full so check that
out by going to metkevin.com Weeble
they're a partner of the channel and uh
we love Weeble we use them every single
day so if you haven't used them yet
metkevin.com Weeble I'll link it down
below as well
so we've got Wells Fargo freaking out
we've got Goldman Sachs showing us this
chart I mean look at this they're
suggesting that current levels of the
volatility index are sitting here I'll
move myself there you go are sitting
right here uh when their models indicate
we should be sitting at the red dotted
line and if we get any kind of drone pow
shock we should be up here at the red
dots so there is potentially an
opportunity to make a move on a vix play
now you can't play it directly through
the vix you'd have to use something like
uh I like to call it Vexy uh that's uh
svxy uh that is the inverse of this now
this starts getting a little tricky so
it's really a topic for a different
video but if you want to calls on the
vix you'd have to buy puts on vexi
svxy remember indices you can't directly
invest in you have to use a proxy like
you invest in the Spy to get exposure
for the S&P 500 or you invest in QQQ M
if you want to invest in the NASDAQ 100
index the m is basically the cheaper
version of QQQ uh and it's it's the same
thing essentially so read their
prospectuses it's not none of this
financial advice uh keep that mind I am
a financial adviser but none of this in
this video is personalized Financial
advice we talked about my sponsor uh and
uh I'm I I think I'm pretty transparent
here with my positions no vix positions
although I might open one tomorrow I did
close my Tesla short I expect likely to
reopen this but I do think after a 4.12%
drop today I I think there's a good
chance we're going to get a little bit
of a green bounce tomorrow which might
be the perfect time to go short again
going into Monday Tuesday obviously
that's it's trading but the other thing
to look at too is you look at look how
sensitive Tech is right now and this is
scary uh Adobe in after hours which
isn't even on that chart yet plummets
10% why does it drop 10% well it drops
10% on a bare like barely miss this was
rid ridiculous Adobe barely slightly
missed on their forecast they actually
beat on their earnings and they slightly
missed on their forecast net revenue and
what happens the sucker's down 11%
that's not even fair why though because
things are probably a little overvalued
you want to know a company that beat
across the board and then you want to
know what happened to the stock Ulta
Ulta beat across the board but they made
one mention suggesting that Beauty has
gotten more
competitive and even though their
guidance was in line their indication
that beauty was getting a little bit
more competitive despite beating was
enough to send this sucker down 6.7%
here in after hours that's crazy why is
this happening well it's happening
because these stocks have gone to Crazy
all-time highs look at them this isn't
sustainable this is the week chart for
Ulta now we're going to pull that right
back down to 527 uh in after hours right
here so you have a red Candlestick going
down to my mouse over there tomorrow but
who cares look at this sucker anyway
it's crazy it's all gone straight up
that actually increases earning
sensitivity and that is particularly
what makes me actually more nervous
about a company like Tesla the more
sensitivity you have in the market the
more even a slight Miss can absolutely
destroy a stock and this is one of those
times where I mean just look at the um
uh greed or fear index I love doing this
okay you look at greed or fear index you
know how they say be fearful when people
are greedy and be greedy when people are
fearful we are just barely off of
extreme greed right now Market momentum
extreme greed stock price strength
extreme greed stock price breadth which
means the number of stocks going up
extreme greed putting call options the
ratio between the two greed vix neutral
although it's real it's neutral at a low
level so frankly that should be greed
you've got uh uh you know junk bond
demand at extreme greed and some other
levels this is you know I I I love it
when I when I see people they're like oh
you know uh Kevin told us nine days ago
he's going to cash and then he sold some
positions and people are like oh he's
just fearful really the entire Market is
full of freaking greed absolutely full
of disgusting illustrious greed call me
when the sucker is back at extreme fear
and they going to take my cash and plow
it in but we ain't there right now and
frankly I think there is a real
possibility unless the economy crashes
which if the economy crashes rates are
going to get cut really fast no doubt
about that but as long as GDP and jobs
stay the way they're moving and
inflation keeps doing this nonsense
where it's structurally
stagnating we might get rate Cuts this
year for those of you listening that's
zero yeah I mean think about what we got
inflation whacked us over the last three
months JP removed
fate and there's no jobs recession so
it's like and I mean the banking crisis
is somewhat limited yeah I mean there
are problems in the banking crisis look
I've been reading about this as well you
know fewest Banks posting earnings gain
since 1997 a lot of this could be based
on the fact that FDIC is trying to claw
back money from all the expenses they
had during the banking crisis of last
year so they're trying to get some of
their money back so there are definitely
issues we want to pay attention to with
the banking crisis and I'm watching it
very closely especially now that the
bank term funding program the facility
has closed but holy
smokes I don't know man I just want to
be so transparent and I know people are
like wait how could you how could you
change your opinion well the true
supporters of my channel realize I
change my mind when the data changes
when the facts change CH I I'm not here
to say everything I do is perfect but
when the facts change uhuh man uh-uh bye
it's very simple I do the same thing in
business and that's very very important
if something's working great I'm going
to keep doing it if I got a great deal
in real estate with house hack I'm going
to pursue that sucker until I close that
deal and we're going to rent it out it's
going to be beautiful stabilized
building if some if the facts change and
some seller is trying to defraud me and
they're like oh yeah it's 2% vacant and
then I actually do my due diligence and
it's 30% vacant F you I'm not buying
your crap anymore at the price we agreed
to because you changed the facts
everybody should do that everybody do
not get emotionally attached to things
if you want to learn more about my
housing startup I away go to
metkevin.com I'm sorry no it's not
metkevin it's house act.com
2024 uh if you're an accredited investor
you can invest in the startup and then
uh we are responding to all the emails
that we're getting for people interested
in the mini fund uh 1031 option uh that
will be launching soon which is really
kind of cool and that'll be a precursor
uh to uh essentially enabling people to
1031 from Real Estate into a stock which
is insane that you can do that uh kind
of wild anyway thank you so much for
watching uh let me know what you think
in the comments down below and we'll see
