sh*t! this is really Bad... Economic Collapse is HAPPENING | Great Reset
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh my gosh I think the banks are
blatantly lying to us about the data
that they just reported in their
financial releases about the state of
the economy and it could mean the
economy is actually on much more of a
Brink than they're letting on this is
really bad and ordinarily I would think
I don't know maybe I'm just reading into
this too much but then I come across as
I'm doing this research I come across a
headline from 34 minutes ago Jamie
Diamond finishes up his 1 million share
sale of JP Morgan shares so 1 million
shares that's like $180
million and then I'm like okay well
that's fine maybe he's just taken some
tendies right I'm sure he's done that
before wrong this is actually the first
time that he sold since be since joining
the bank 20 years ago he has not sold
any shares in his history instead now in
February he selling 820,000 shares and
he just sold another
180,000
shares oh man what's happening well in
this video I'm going to break down
exactly what I think is happening
because at first don't get me wrong I go
into this I'm like come on come on we've
got GDP that's like 2.6% according to
the Atlanta fed job numbers are coming
in good things are looking Okay Kevin
listen Kevin just this morning we had
fantasti retail sales numbers okay and I
covered them and I too this morning
wrote wow what a blowout this is really
interesting I I literally wrote it here
it is blowout big beat all of the
numbers came in higher than expected and
the previous numbers were revised up
more commentaries now appearing about
the low Landing economy okay great but
then we edit in the inflation adjustment
later in the day we know these aren't
inflation adjustment adjusted but I go
in later and I'm like let's compare
these year-over-year so I look at the
year-over-year numbers I'm like hm motor
vehicle parts are only up 1% in retail
sales go wait a minute inflation right
now is like 3 and half% that means motor
vehicle part sales are actually down 2
and 1.2% but wait a minute motor vehicle
parts are part of CPI inflation which
has been skyrocketing motor vehicle part
prices have absolutely been skyrocketing
to some account they're up 40% where
wages are up like 18% it's crazy so why
would they say that retail sales are
only up 1% oh well that could simply be
explained by people being able to buy
less because they have less money so you
didn't actually get a 1% year-over-year
beat you got 1% minus 3 and a half%
inflation you're attive -25% retail
sales for motor vehicle parts despite
prices being up way more than wages same
thing for furniture building materials
and every single year-over-year category
in the retail sales report the highest C
category was miscellaneous retailers
like pet stores and they were up 2 and a
half% or 2.7% also negative when you
adjust for inflation so then I'm like
okay wait a minute so we get it like
sometimes the numbers are presented in a
cooked manner is this really a big
problem so then I put my hat on and I go
okay well are we ever negative on retail
sales for a longer period of time and
the answer is yes we are we're negative
on retail sales in recession
and now oh okay that's not great then of
course we have gold at400 which some
people have been saying is snuffing out
something bad coming after all Ts
Lombard suggests that gold 3x in 19 2 to
3x in 1972 78 in 2008 skipping thec
recession okay that's not good so wait a
minute so we've got retail sales numbers
that are a little fugazi the banks are
lying to us which I'm about to get to
gold skyro marketing which could be
because of geopolitical issues uh the
Iran Israel issu is a problem that could
also potentially explain what's going on
with inflation expectations but we have
not had an Iran Israel problem all year
we've had an Israel Gaza problem all
year but look since January inflation
expectations have gone straight up we're
on the fiveyear at
2.57% and we're peing we are
skyrocketing and so the question is how
long can Jerome Powell keep up the
charade the BS charade that inflation
expectations are going to remain
anchored not to mention the inversion
last year of the 2os 10 curve led to a
lot of pain in the stock market okay but
this is where a lot of people go but
Kevin but Kevin listen Kevin I already
went to metkevin.com lifee and I got my
life insurance in as little as 5 minutes
I already did that the reality is
Kevin inflation just doesn't matter
anymore rates they just don't matter
anymore earnings are so Gucci right now
everything's fine we don't have to worry
about pricing and rates anymore because
we're past that and this is an idea that
we've actually brought up this morning
we're like are markets just ignoring
rates and is that healthy I mean since
December well in December we're like oh
yeah markets are pricing in seven rate
cuts and now we're pricing in 1.5 rate
cuts and the stock market's been mostly
flat well until of course today see
today we broke the 50-day moving average
and we broke this long six-month Trend
we've had on the S&P 500 that's not
great neither of these are great we're
topping out on BTC The Q's AI chips
we're topping out on the S&P 500
everything's topping out right at the
same time we're getting potential
potentially in my opinion it's just my
opinion straight up fraud from the banks
and the banks lead earning season so my
question is what happens when earnings
all of a sudden aren't actually that
good anymore and at the same time Jerome
poell finally
goes H yeah this is a problem well I'll
tell you what happens all of a sudden
the Market's going to
go interest rates matter again
uh well that's not going to be good
that's not going to be good and that's
not going to be pleasant it's not going
to be pleasant at all but why could it
possibly happen why would why would the
economy have a problem well a lot of
people have been asking me about vanon
mises lately the Austrian Economist
ludic Von mises German well he did all
his writings in German so this is a
summary I've been reading primers on lud
Ludwick just to catch up what I always
like to do is I like to read I read a
lot of things and then you got to come
back to it cuz you're going to forget so
I'm like all right let's break out the
texts again on ludvick and then listen I
just want you to listen to this got I
put it up on screen but just listen to
this and then we're going to get to JP
Morgan and the disasters at the banks
and how they're lying to you okay listen
to this all you have to do is listen
when the quantity of money in
circulation like inflation Rises for
some reason people feel richer and spend
more you know like stimulus checks but
this extra spending merely drives up
prices leaving nobody better off such is
the story of inflation Mees and his
colleague fredi saw that maybe it was
actually worse than that though spending
booms and these sort of inflationary
booms actually lead
entrepreneurs to believe that there's a
real increase in demand for their
products Tesla meanwhile the surge in
credit makes loans cheaper so
entrepreneurs borrow more to invest more
and produce more but this is mistaken
overinvestment known as
malinvestment malinvestment which is
based on false price signals and before
long the public spending spree is curbed
because things are too expensive like
Auto rates which are absolutely insane
right now and Auto Loan delinquent
quencies are spiking at an increase of
over 75% at least per the New York fed
that's like 7% annualized right now but
anyway by printing money governments can
create an artificial boom but this must
inevitably be followed by a bust a
painful adjustment process takes place
as malinvestments are
liquidated that doesn't sound good but
but but wait a minute like things should
be okay right I mean things are getting
better right the US has been resilient
the UK is growing out of recession again
Germany's industrial sector is growing
again Bloomberg GDP forecasts are at
about 2.9% China showing signs of
rebounding things seem okay
right okay that's true things seem okay
on the surface but what if we start
looking under the hood well we don't
want to look at government interest
payments because those look horrible but
let's scroll past that and let's just go
to the chart that has government
interest payments as a percentage of GDP
before we get to the bank disaster oh
and that's more normal oh wait but
there's a problem with this chart and
see identifying problems like this are
the kinds of things in perspective as
well as what you're about to learn about
the banks that I teach in the courses on
building your wealth if you're not part
of those yet we have a coupon expiring
this Friday you ought to be part of them
we're releasing new lectures this Sunday
great new content and in the and sight
group you get all my Buy sell alerts
when I'm trading this morning we came up
with some pretty solid strategies on how
to trade for the day now I wasn't
perfect with my trading exactly but we
had about a thousand a thousand course
members watching this morning as we came
up with a strategy said look here's the
game plan here's what happens if isra if
Israel does this here's where to go if
Israel does this here's where to go if
Iran does this came up with a game plan
that if followed perfectly would have
done very well today now what do we have
over
here this chart only updates annually so
we don't actually get an update on this
chart that's skyrocketing on interest
payments by the fed the federal
government as a percentage of GDP until
guess when ah next march crap well if
next march were in the middle of a
recession and this number over here is
like way up here what good does that do
us as a leading indicator nothing it
does nothing okay but Kevin you've shown
us before that Consumer Debt Service
payments as a percentage of disposable
personal income are stable they're not
actually way higher than at like do
levels they're higher than where or at
the highest points where we were pre-co
but they're not like at extreme levels
right like the mid
80s that's true but what screws up this
chart remember this is a chart on
consumer debt payments as a percentage
of disposable income that's a way of
basically saying if you have $100 left
over after you pay your rent and your
food and then you have $10 of debt
you're at 10% all right that's the money
you have left over how much is going to
debt right now we're sitting somewhere
around 5.7
5.8% just to explain that what could
change that well if your $100 goes to 50
then that
doubles well what's been the trajectory
for January February of
2024 oh
oh that's not good now you can make the
argument that this real disposable
income level is just being affected by
inflation but then it should have been
affected by inflation here and you can
make the argument that maybe we're just
going back to levels where we previously
were but it's the trend that's the
concern we're about to go negative again
if this trend continues and what if we
don't inflation adjust it because
inflation numbers came in a little
hotter in J and Feb right okay don't
inflation adjust it crap the numbers
going down as well nearly straight down
as well that's not great and it leads
into what we're seeing at credit card
delinquencies which this only updates
quarterly but we're way higher than
where we were in the 10 years before the
pandemic we're going back to 2024 levels
on credit card delinquency delinquencies
here okay so then I thought to myself
but that's all old data it's all like Q4
data what data is going to give me some
some juice about the trajectory of
things going forward no it's not Q4
autol loan delinquencies where the fed's
telling us uh you know we're seeing 8.5%
of credit card balances and 7.7% of auto
loans transitioning into delinquency on
an annualized basis that's not great but
we'll ignore that portion for moment
let's go to the actual Banks and let's
understand what the banks are saying
because this whole video is based on the
premise that the banks are lying through
their teeth to us now you might be
thinking to yourself but Kevin the banks
always lie through their teeth how is
that a surprise fine but this is even
more blatant than I've ever seen before
and that is what gets scary now first
you have to know something when it comes
to Banks there are these things called
Provisions for credit losses that sounds
complicated but it's basically kind of
like doing this you and your girlfriend
sit down and you go hey honey we're
going to have to put some money aside
just in case that water heater blows and
we think that water heater is going to
cost us $2500 to install because we
don't know a good plumber so we're going
to get ripped off we need to set aside
$2500 for that water
he okay honey well we'll set aside $200
a month for it and then we'll have
nearly $2,500 and we'll just cut out
some of the Christmas expenses and then
we have
$2,500 okay we'll get to it okay so
that's a way of setting up an allowance
for an expense that you think is coming
with the banks you're actually allowed
to lower your earnings by taking a write
off for losses you think you're going to
incur but if you just happen to think
everything's going to normalize and be
okay I guess you don't actually have to
take those losses and you could use that
to sort of manipulate your earnings now
that would only be concerning if some
other numbers were getting really bad
right like like how about charge offs hm
okay well let's see what's going on with
credit losses versus Charge offs so
credit losses are you saving for the
water heater a charge off is kind of
like this schmuck owes us $11,000 he's
never going to pay let's just write him
off and get him out of our life and
forget that he owes us $1,000 that's a
charge off okay so let's see what
happens between the two ready for it
you'll see exactly what I'm seeing and
and it ain't pretty first JP Morgan H
okay what does JP Morgan have for us
well I want you to see this the
provision for credit losses is
plummeting look at this right here $2.7
billion of or credit losses provisioned
in the fourth quarter of 2023 but then
you go over here to q1 hey we need to
pump up that net income so let's take
fewer credit losses we'll take 1.8
nobody will notice that we just propped
up the numbers by $800 million which wow
that $800 million is exactly what we
need to show a year-over-year growth
number literally the difference in net
income between q123 and q1 1224 is $800
million ah Shucks we are growing honey
we're doing great or you're lying to
yourself that's JP Morgan but wait it
gets more worse let's look at the trend
of charge offs so remember these are
people you're saying hey schmuck I'm not
going to get any money from you you suck
I'll take the loss q1 2023 and we're
going to go quarter by quarter here you
ready for this card services charge offs
922 million 1.1 billion 1.2 billion 1.4
billion nearly 1.7 billion add up the
totals same thing we literally increased
charge offs from 1 .0 billion to 1.8
billion that's an 80% increase
year-over-year in charge offs so you're
literally saying hey schmuck you suck
I'm writing you off 80% more than you
were were at the start of 2023 let that
snc in for a moment but wait a minute
what about Card Services net charge offs
so for Card Services we literally just
went from
2.07% charge offs to 3.3 2% so we just
increased those charge offs
60% and what's their response in their
earnings call their response is
literally we continue to expect 2024
card net charge offs to be below 3 and
half% so think about that for a moment
okay charge offs went up
60% and on the earnings call when
they're asked about it they're like what
we continue to think it'll be below this
extremely high level and don't mind that
the trend is skyrocketing nothing to see
here but we're doing BuyBacks and don't
mind that Jamie Diamond is selling okay
now maybe that's just a fluke maybe
that's just a fluke and maybe they're
not lying to us oh but wait there's more
I'm telling you by the end of this by
the end of this analysis you will want
to be with the thousand people that were
in our live course member live stream
this morning understanding how to trade
this market and analyze the crap that's
going on you pay once you get lifetime
access need a bundle coupon email us at
staff ATM kevin.com so what do we have
right here Wells Fargo net charge offs
were stable from the fourth quarter oh
well that sounds good Kevin doesn't that
violate what you just said wait for it
net charge offs were stable from the
fourth quarter and we repurchased 6.1
billion dollars of common stock so
nothing to worry here we're buying back
stock okay great so I go deeper into
your financials what were your charge
offs in the quarter ended q1
2023 so last year oh 5 $64 million hm
okay $564 million what were they now oh
$1.1 billion wait so your charge offs
are up
105% from
q1 but don't worry folks we're stable
compared to the fourth quarter stable
bad you're like stable at Double more
than double what you were last year
okay that's not great but look at this
beautiful buyback oh and don't worry we
made the provision for credit loss
number look smaller in q1 the way we
were able to do that is we took our net
charge offs and then rather than taking
an allowance for credit losses we
actually gave us a smaller allowance for
credit losses which is kind of like
taking earnings back like basically
giving ourselves earnings so we gave
ourselves $219 million and now we're
able to say hey look our total provision
for credit losses were actually less
than what they were last year because we
just manipulated the books right in
front of your face and nobody said
anything I'm joking because the level of
here is massive and we're about
to get to the earnings call where you'll
see some more but before we get
there let's go to City oh okay what do
we have here City Group cost of credit
was up approximately 2.4 billion in the
first quarter of 2024 compared with 2
billion in the prior year primarily
driven by higher credit cards net credit
loss
partially offset by a lower allowance
for credit losses wait a minute what oh
okay your reserve for that water heater
you normally grow that Reserve by 241
million or 397 million how much did you
grow it by this quarter 21 million in
other words you barely grew it while at
the same time what happened to net
losses oh last q1 1.3 billion this q1
2.3 billion a
77% increase in credit card charge offs
at City Bank that's three banks in a row
then of course we saw Jamie Diamond sell
but wait folks there's more what did
Wells Fargo tell us on the earnings call
okay so their earnings call they get
asked what are you guys thinking for a
peak in net charge offs smart analysts
you want to hear what the senior vice
president over at Wells Fargo says and
keep in mind there's salesy stuff in
between this that
I realize it's very salesy it is more
bullish they're saying look everything's
performing on top of what we would have
expected maybe we're even doing better
credit quality looks good things seem to
be good great that's really bullish but
what did they actually also right and
that's what I want you to pay attention
to and you have to sort of evaluate that
yourself okay I just want you to read
this red for a moment here we're seeing
faster growth in new accounts and New
Balances coming on okay well that's half
bullish because it means Wells Fargo
growing right but it also means people
are taking on more debt okay that's not
great so we got to do some reading
between the lines here right then listen
to this at some point charge offs should
Peak and you'll start to see some normal
behavior then we go bullish bullish
bullish bullish bullish right because
they're like saying hey we spent a lot
of time looking at the underlying things
we think things are going to like
they're part in their normal phase of
maturation we think things are
normalizing and then listen to this line
and as it Peaks
we'll sort of let you know when we feel
like we're there but it should be peing
over the coming quarters in other words
we have no idea when these charge offs
are actually going to Peak but it should
be peaking soon and as soon as we have
more clarity on when the numbers are
actually going to Peak don't worry we'll
let you know too but in the meantime
we'll be dumping our shares folks
welcome to finance in
America o burn that sucks so
I'm shocked I just want to be
transparent here maybe I shouldn't be
shocked that the banks are lying but
this is blatant this is like blunt
lying now hey maybe everything's fine
maybe everything's going to be a okay
but let's just say it doesn't take many
straws like Iran Israel combined with
this sort of weakening at Banks to make
me really grateful I've got some more
cash on the sidelines now some people
like to say things like oh well you're
just trying to find a bearish point of
view to reiterate why you're in
cash I don't think so see I went to cash
early
March I wish I went to Mar uh cash a
little bit earlier because that's when
we really started seeing some red flags
I've been bullish since the end of 2022
I started an ETF around that time and
have been pretty bullish inflation was
going away it was falling everything was
going good now it's possible that
everything that we had in the boom of 22
and three in terms of like oh wow
earnings are beating in 23 over the 2022
hole right the pain of 2022 and the
transitory inflation it's possible all
of that was just
fugazi backed up by who knows excess
savings or whatever and now we got to
pay the piper or as van you know Von Mei
says we got to clear out the Mal
investment that's not good so did the
bad data and the bad indicators come
first or did Kevin being bearish come
first well I think the bad data came
first I wish I went bearish first I wish
I could take credit for that but let's
just be real I'm using the data to try
to be bullish to justify why I should
take the risk and leap of faith of
buying stocks right now and I'm looking
at it and
going maybe I need a a little more cash
on the sidelines
than it's not good so yeah I'm
optimistic about two things right now an
expiring coupon code on Friday email us
