Демократы победили! Что будет с рублём, нефтью и санкциями? Акции США падают! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hello everyone. Olga Holland here, and
- 0:02we're starting with the latest financial
- 0:05news from the past week.
- 0:11>> The most important event of the past
- 0:13week was the election in the United
- 0:14States. It might seem like just some
- 0:16Congress, some Democrats, some
- 0:18Republicans. How does this even concern
- 0:21us? It concerns us quite a lot. How it
- 0:23affects us, I will explain a little
- 0:25later. But first, I will explain to you
- 0:27what actually happened, what occurred.
- 0:30In America, there is a legislative body
- 0:32, Congress, which creates new laws,
- 0:35decides where to spend money and where
- 0:37not to, who to investigate, and so on.
- 0:41Everything—who to impose sanctions on
- 0:43and who not to—is determined by them.
- 0:47And there are two forces there.
- 0:49These are the Democrats and the
- 0:52Republicans. The Republican Party is
- 0:54Trump's party. Everyone knows that.
- 0:57And if the majority of people sitting in
- 0:59Congress are Republicans, then Trump can
- 1:02easily push through all his initiatives
- 1:05.
- 1:06They will vote just as Trump needs, and
- 1:08that's it. It turns out that the
- 1:10president is endowed with such almost
- 1:13unlimited power, you could say.
- 1:16If we talk about how things stand now,
- 1:18after the elections, Trump's power has
- 1:21been significantly limited because a
- 1:24larger number of seats in Congress now
- 1:27belong to the Democrats.
- 1:29And the Democrats can pass laws that
- 1:32will not allow Trump to push through
- 1:35actions that he used to pass easily.
- 1:39Congress can vote against what the
- 1:41president is doing.
- 1:43Congress can create a law that the
- 1:45president does not like. The president
- 1:48can veto it.
- 1:50But if Democrats plus a certain number
- 1:52of Republicans voted for this law—
- 1:54meaning they reached a certain majority
- 1:57of votes—then Trump cannot even exercise
- 2:00a veto.
- 2:02And that is precisely why issues in
- 2:05America will be decided based on what
- 2:08the Democrats say. America is a very
- 2:11important actor worldwide.
- 2:13This means their actions dictate how
- 2:16people will live in other countries as
- 2:19well.
- 2:20As unpleasant as it may be to realize,
- 2:21it is the truth. For example, here is a
- 2:24specific case. Democrats are more
- 2:27strictly auditing technology companies
- 2:29for compliance with sanctions.
- 2:32I wrote about this in my channel, that
- 2:34they are pressuring management and
- 2:36inviting them for interviews.
- 2:39Conducting investigations and so on.
- 2:42Are you making enough effort to comply
- 2:44with sanctions and, for instance, not
- 2:46sell your chips—if you are Nvidia, for
- 2:49example—not to sell your chips to Russia
- 2:51, because Russia is under sanctions and
- 2:54shipping chips is prohibited.
- 2:56Are you making enough effort to ensure
- 2:59that these chips don't end up in Russia
- 3:02via some third countries?
- 3:05Are you putting in enough effort to
- 3:07identify whether or not people from
- 3:09restricted areas are using your services
- 3:11?
- 3:12For example, a company like Anthropic,
- 3:14which provides Claude, has started
- 3:16banning everyone indiscriminately very
- 3:18strictly. This is also connected to the
- 3:20elections in America.
- 3:22But is Anthropic putting in enough
- 3:24effort to identify people who use their
- 3:27services from sanctioned territories?
- 3:30Maybe they need to ban them? Maybe you
- 3:32aren't putting in enough effort?
- 3:35And if you aren't putting in enough
- 3:37effort, you get fined, and they don't
- 3:39want fines, so they implement additional
- 3:41efforts, and this hits Russia’s
- 3:43technological resilience, for example.
- 3:47And this is a real situation, because in
- 3:49general, Russia has enough money to buy
- 3:51all sorts of computing power, but it is
- 3:53precisely the sanction restrictions that
- 3:56prevent them from buying the amount they
- 3:58might want.
- 3:59And why is computing power important? I
- 4:01will give you a concrete example of how
- 4:03this affected me. Just so you get an
- 4:06illustration of this.
- 4:08When I was deploying my personal
- 4:10artificial intelligence on my server—
- 4:12well, not my personal AI, but an AI on
- 4:15my server—I needed to buy a paid server
- 4:17so that it would be more powerful.
- 4:20But I decided to test a free server.
- 4:23What would happen in this case? I
- 4:24deployed ChatGPT on a free server,
- 4:27launched it, and wrote in the chat.
- 4:30I did this through a Telegram chat. I
- 4:32wrote: "Hello."
- 4:34And by the time my signal got there, was
- 4:36processed, and it replied, two minutes
- 4:38had passed for the "hello" request.
- 4:41But when you connect to a paid server, a
- 4:43more powerful one, naturally everything
- 4:45flies, and naturally you can upload
- 4:47files there, they get processed, they
- 4:48answer you—that is, power, chips.
- 4:51What is computing power? It's data
- 4:53centers, and data centers consist of
- 4:54chips, of computers. And these computers
- 4:57are forbidden from being supplied to
- 5:00Russia under sanctions. That's the kind
- 5:02of story it is.
- 5:03Just so you understand how Democrats can
- 5:06actually influence life in Russia, not
- 5:08just through war in Iran, through oil,
- 5:10and so on.
- 5:11They can influence it. They can and they
- 5:13do influence it. What actually happened
- 5:15?
- 5:16On January 3rd, 2027, the new Congress
- 5:18will take office, and from that point on
- 5:21, they can already pass various laws.
- 5:26And control certain decisions.
- 5:29In 2024, Trump won by promising people a
- 5:31cheaper life and America, and American
- 5:33interests first.
- 5:35What was the end result?
- 5:38Over the two years Trump has been
- 5:40president, they've faced tariffs that
- 5:43raised the cost of living, a war with
- 5:46Iran, expensive gas—it went from about 2
- 5:49dollars a gallon to around 4—
- 5:51accelerated inflation, and Federal
- 5:54Reserve interest rate hikes, which in
- 5:57turn make mortgages and loans more
- 5:59expensive.
- 6:02Naturally, Trump is currently at, shall
- 6:05we say, his historical low in popularity
- 6:09ratings.
- 6:11And since he is the leader of the
- 6:13Republican Party, people aren't voting
- 6:15for Republicans.
- 6:17The people who used to vote for the
- 6:18Republicans have switched to the
- 6:20Democrats.
- 6:22Even traditionally Republican states
- 6:24closer to Latin America, like Texas, for
- 6:27instance, have voted for the Democrats.
- 6:30And, uh, the state leader is a Democrat
- 6:33, so they have lost entire states there
- 6:36.
- 6:37And so the situation is that Americans
- 6:39don't like this, if we look specifically
- 6:41at the reasons.
- 6:43JD Vance wrote about it directly. He is
- 6:45, well, you could say, the Vice
- 6:46President—the President's right-hand man
- 6:48, the next most important person in
- 6:50America after the President. JD Vance is
- 6:52relatively young; he’s not even 50 yet.
- 6:56And he wrote that we lost because of the
- 6:59war with Iran. So, he’s distancing
- 7:01himself with his rhetoric from Trump’s
- 7:03policies.
- 7:05I see this as our weak point, and I
- 7:07don't exactly agree with it, because
- 7:09Trump doesn’t have much time left at the
- 7:12helm; he’s no longer young.
- 7:15But JD Vance has his entire political
- 7:18career ahead of him, so distancing
- 7:20himself from unpopular political
- 7:22decisions is good for his career.
- 7:24Plus, he is also a Republican. And in
- 7:27this way, he is, well, by voicing these
- 7:30mistakes, he is bringing back the voters
- 7:34who moved to the Democrats. They might
- 7:37think—what kind of logic goes through
- 7:39their minds?— "they acknowledge their
- 7:42mistakes, they’ll fix them, I’ll vote
- 7:44for the Republicans again now."
- 7:47So, JD Vance is also pulling the
- 7:49Republicans 'reputation into a more
- 7:51winning position, because right now they
- 7:54are clearly in a losing position.
- 7:57How did they even reach this point, the
- 7:59Republicans? First, Trump was the first
- 8:01, as I already said, to introduce
- 8:02large-scale tariffs.
- 8:04If you evaluate these tariffs as an
- 8:06economic effect, the average American
- 8:08family loses about 1,200 dollars a year
- 8:10due to these tariffs.
- 8:14Because goods are becoming more
- 8:15expensive. For example, clothing prices
- 8:17rose by 17.5%due to the tariffs.
- 8:21Cars became, on average, 5 to 10
- 8:22thousand dollars more expensive.
- 8:25Imported cars. The US and Israel start a
- 8:28war with Iran. Gas prices go up.
- 8:32And gas prices, in turn, are factored
- 8:34into all goods that are transported in
- 8:36any way. This led to inflation.
- 8:39To give you specific numbers, before the
- 8:42start of the war with Iran, inflation
- 8:45was under 2.5%, and then it jumped to 4
- 8:47%and higher.
- 8:50Then they raised the interest rate. This
- 8:52is a classic measure for fighting
- 8:54inflation. And inflation went below 4%.
- 8:58But it’s still high again. It started to
- 9:00increase once more. US inflation is
- 9:02currently 3.7%. And this could push the
- 9:05Fed to raise the interest rate once
- 9:07again. And we know better than anyone
- 9:10that high interest rates are unpleasant
- 9:12. You can’t take out a mortgage. Mmm,
- 9:14generally, loans are expensive. Overall
- 9:17, you can feel that people have started
- 9:19to spend less.
- 9:20This hits businesses because people are
- 9:22spending less money. Because people are
- 9:25spending less, businesses have less
- 9:26money, employers are less willing to
- 9:28raise wages, they tighten conditions for
- 9:30employees, and ultimately the ordinary
- 9:32person suffers. If we talk about
- 9:35deciding factors, 55%of voters say the
- 9:38deciding factor against the Republicans
- 9:41was corruption in the government. It’s
- 9:45not obvious. Meaning they believe Trump
- 9:47puts his personal interests above the
- 9:48interests of America.
- 9:50The rising cost of living concerns 49%
- 9:53of voters, and war concerns 34%, which
- 9:56is overall a serious figure.
- 9:59Six out of ten voters, I repeat, believe
- 10:01that Trump puts his personal interests
- 10:03above the interests of the American
- 10:04people.
- 10:07Immigration raids—you’ve surely seen
- 10:09this story online—police, specifically
- 10:11immigration, are now very strictly
- 10:13catching migrants right on the street,
- 10:15literally catching them.
- 10:18And for Americans, when this started, it
- 10:20was considered wild.
- 10:22In Russia, we’re used to police standing
- 10:25near the metro and being able to stop
- 10:28just about anyone to check their
- 10:30documents. And if you don’t have
- 10:33documents establishing your status on
- 10:34the territory of the RF, proving you
- 10:36have the right to live here, or if your
- 10:38documents have expired, you’re taken
- 10:40straight to the station and deported. We
- 10:42in Russia are kind of used to this.
- 10:44In America, there are many such migrants
- 10:47who arrived on some student visa, stayed
- 10:49to live there for years, the visa
- 10:51expired, but they live there, work
- 10:53unofficially, and everything they do is
- 10:55off the books.
- 10:57It is precisely these kinds of migrants
- 11:00that the police are rounding up, as
- 11:02there are many Latin Americans in this
- 11:04segment of people being detained.
- 11:07And these Latin Americans are very often
- 11:10relatives, or even acquaintances and
- 11:12friends of those who live legally in
- 11:14America, meaning they are integrated
- 11:17into communities of people who are legal
- 11:19, but their friends were subjected to
- 11:22these raids by Trump’s anti-immigration
- 11:24policy.
- 11:25Naturally, they are losing these voters
- 11:27.
- 11:28And so the Latin American states, which
- 11:31are historically considered as such,
- 11:33massively supported Trump in 2024 and
- 11:36massively turned away from him in 2026.
- 11:39This also influenced the election
- 11:41results. Elon Musk invested a lot of
- 11:43money to help the Republicans win, but
- 11:45his bet did not pay off.
- 11:47He put in more, well, almost 500 million
- 11:49dollars he invested in these elections.
- 11:51The bet did not work. He joked: "Looks
- 11:54like my space lasers for election
- 11:56interference didn't work this time."
- 11:58Just a little joke. That’s the story.
- 12:01That is the story. Now let’s talk about
- 12:03what this means for sanctions, for the
- 12:05ruble, and for the markets.
- 12:08A Democratic victory completely changes
- 12:10the rules of the game for Russia,
- 12:11because immediately after this situation
- 12:13, and Democrats are against the war in
- 12:15Iran, the market immediately reacted
- 12:17with a 20%drop in oil prices.
- 12:21It was worth over 100-110 dollars,
- 12:24reaching 115-114 dollars, and now it is
- 12:28approaching 90 dollars a barrel.
- 12:32And Russian oil cost 100 dollars on
- 12:34average in October; now it costs 75
- 12:37dollars.
- 12:38The budget for 2027-2029 assumes that
- 12:40Russian oil must be worth at least 50
- 12:42dollars a barrel for the budget to
- 12:45balance.
- 12:46Well yes, some deficit is being created
- 12:47, but it’s not really that scary. A
- 12:49budget deficit is not a scary story at
- 12:50all. As long as it is within the planned
- 12:53range or slightly above, it is covered
- 12:56by excess revenues from expensive oil. I
- 12:58mean, everyone was shouting: "Deficit,
- 13:00deficit, deficit!" Then oil prices went
- 13:02up, and that was it, people stopped
- 13:03worrying about it. If oil prices fall,
- 13:06the deficit will start to bother us
- 13:08again. But in any case, this will affect
- 13:11the currency. How will this affect the
- 13:13currency? I have prepared everything for
- 13:15you in my cheat sheet. I will walk you
- 13:17through the chain of events. On one hand
- 13:20, it seems like the US elections are
- 13:22like a sport. You watch sports, you are
- 13:24generally interested, but it doesn't
- 13:26affect your life. But that is not the
- 13:28case. It may only seem that way at first
- 13:31. We already mentioned that oil dropped
- 13:33by 20%.
- 13:34Furthermore, in 1-2 months, the ruble
- 13:37will begin to weaken. Right now, due to
- 13:40high sales, the ruble has become cheaper
- 13:42. It is around 80 rubles to the dollar
- 13:45there.
- 13:45If oil keeps getting cheaper, then we
- 13:48will even see 90 rubles. to the dollar.
- 13:51Everything priced in foreign currency
- 13:53will accordingly become about 8-10
- 13:54percent more expensive.
- 13:56That includes electronics, cars, travel
- 13:58, and some food products.
- 14:00In stores, this is usually visible after
- 14:03about 2-3 months, and we always have New
- 14:05Year's price hikes anyway.
- 14:08You come in on December 25th, you see
- 14:11salmon fillet sold at one price.
- 14:14You arrive on January 1st, and the same
- 14:16salmon fillet in the same spot at the
- 14:18same store is already 20%more expensive
- 14:19.
- 14:20Besides that, there could be additional
- 14:22price hikes. In other words, the
- 14:24Democrats directly influence how much we
- 14:27can actually buy with our salaries.
- 14:30It would seem that the Central Bank
- 14:31might lower interest rates more slowly
- 14:33because of this, as it could impact
- 14:34inflation.
- 14:36Our interest rate is currently 14%.
- 14:38We all collectively want at least 10%.
- 14:418%would be ideal.
- 14:43But this process could slow down
- 14:45precisely because of the Democrats, who
- 14:48are pushing, and they are pushing harder
- 14:51on sanctions, that is, on enforcing them
- 14:53.
- 14:54They might provide more aid to Ukraine.
- 14:57This is a very important point. The
- 14:58Democrats, and since 2024, Ukraine has
- 15:00not been receiving financial aid from
- 15:03the US.
- 15:04If the Democrats vote for an aid package
- 15:07to Ukraine, it might weaken—or rather,
- 15:10give Ukraine the feeling that they can
- 15:13dictate more during negotiations, and
- 15:15the talks might drag on.
- 15:18You see, it’s all very closely
- 15:20interconnected. We will talk about the
- 15:22negotiations in just a moment. This
- 15:23could affect oil prices and the stock
- 15:26quotes of oil companies. They might
- 15:28become cheaper because of this.
- 15:30Therefore, if you’ve had a good ride
- 15:32with oil companies, right now, perhaps I
- 15:34would sell them.
- 15:35And if you are currently in the green,
- 15:37meaning you’ve had a good ride—that you
- 15:40bought cheaper and sold there, and now
- 15:42your oil companies are worth more—then I
- 15:44would probably lock in the profit on
- 15:46those oil companies now and wouldn't sit
- 15:48on them for the next few months.
- 15:50So, one way or another, this still
- 15:53affects us. Let's move on to the next
- 15:56news item. I think we’ve already said a
- 15:57lot about the election. Let’s move on to
- 15:59the next piece of news. We will talk
- 16:00about the negotiations between the US,
- 16:02Russia, and Ukraine. Trilateral talks
- 16:05that will take place in Abu Dhabi on
- 16:06November 10th and 11th.
- 16:07And we, in the next news segment, will
- 16:10most likely discuss this issue. What do
- 16:12we have here that's interesting? Well,
- 16:14the Kremlin has confirmed that these
- 16:17talks will indeed take place on November
- 16:1910th and 11th. This will be the first
- 16:21round of these negotiations in such a
- 16:23trilateral format. And what will the
- 16:25topics be? Post-war security mechanisms
- 16:28? I have already talked with you a lot
- 16:30about these negotiations in the previous
- 16:32and the episode before last. If you
- 16:34haven't watched those episodes, please
- 16:37check them out. They will give you a
- 16:39good grasp of the context.
- 16:41But if you are already up to speed on
- 16:43the trilateral negotiations, on what
- 16:45they’ll be talking about, what’s
- 16:47important, what they’re stuck on right
- 16:49now, what questions they’ve hit a wall
- 16:52on, why the talks aren’t moving forward
- 16:54, what they need to discuss next, and
- 16:56where they need to find common ground.
- 16:59If you want to know all this, if you
- 17:01aren’t up to speed, then watch the
- 17:03previous two episodes, at least these
- 17:04specific segments. If you are already up
- 17:06to speed, then I will continue.
- 17:08That is, post-war security mechanisms,
- 17:11de-escalation of the conflict, meaning a
- 17:13cessation of military actions,
- 17:15humanitarian efforts, further steps
- 17:17toward peace, and so on.
- 17:19But specifically, an exchange of
- 17:21prisoners, agreements on the next
- 17:23meeting, and perhaps some kind of truce
- 17:25regarding the sea and energy sectors.
- 17:27Meaning to stop bombing specific targets
- 17:30. And the main dispute over the Donbas
- 17:32will most likely not be brought up in
- 17:34this round of negotiations because it is
- 17:37apparently still too early to talk about
- 17:39it. There. And what about us? How does
- 17:43all this affect us? For now, it doesn't
- 17:45. I’m just keeping you informed. This
- 17:47piece of news, however, could really
- 17:49affect us. Smartphones from abroad will
- 17:51have to be registered. Most likely, this
- 17:53initiative—the Ministry of Digital
- 17:55Development has already prepared the
- 17:57rules. This initiative is already being
- 18:00discussed in concrete terms, so it will
- 18:02most likely be adopted in the near
- 18:04future. Therefore, we are discussing
- 18:06this as if it were not just a proposal,
- 18:08but a new regulation. What exactly is
- 18:10required?
- 18:12If you bought an iPhone abroad, then
- 18:14upon bringing it—not just an iPhone, any
- 18:17smartphone—abroad, bringing it into
- 18:19Russia, you need to register it via
- 18:21Gosuslugi, otherwise it will turn into
- 18:23just a mobile device that doesn't work
- 18:26for phone calls, and a Russian SIM card
- 18:28won't work in it.
- 18:30And if you arrived with a foreign SIM
- 18:32card, it will stop working too.
- 18:35If you bought an iPhone—or some "gray"
- 18:38phone, not just an iPhone, excuse me, a
- 18:40smartphone, any smartphone—a "gray" one
- 18:42brought in via parallel import, or
- 18:44somehow else, unregistered, with no
- 18:46duties paid, nothing—it costs less than
- 18:49a regular official iPhone or, excuse me
- 18:51, not iPhone, a regular smartphone.
- 18:54Cheaper than an official smartphone. Why
- 18:55do I say iPhone? Because that’s what
- 18:57happens most often with iPhones.
- 18:59They bring them in, not very officially
- 19:01, and sell them cheaper.
- 19:04And it won't work if you don't register
- 19:08it. Now, so you understand the scale, 30
- 19:10billion rubles. per year—that is the
- 19:13volume of the gray smartphone market in
- 19:16Russia that is not registered anywhere.
- 19:19It turns out that if they are not
- 19:21registered, then in that case you must
- 19:23register them yourself. And what is the
- 19:26problem for now?
- 19:27For now, it is free, but some countries
- 19:31do it for a fee.
- 19:34For example, in Turkey, smartphone
- 19:37registration cost 55 dollars in 2012,
- 19:41while by 2026 this amount reached 1,200
- 19:44dollars.
- 19:46You realize that you have to overpay
- 19:48twice over in Turkey. For now, they say
- 19:51it is free.
- 19:52So we are proceeding from the assumption
- 19:54that phone registration is currently
- 19:56just happening for free.
- 19:58Do you need to do this right now? You
- 20:00don't need to do anything right now. We
- 20:02are waiting for the official innovation
- 20:04, but for now, this is what is proposed
- 20:05. So, who does this concern?
- 20:08Smartphones brought in independently
- 20:11that you bought on a trip, or
- 20:14gray-market smartphones imported into
- 20:17the Russian market.
- 20:19They are, as a rule, sold cheaper than
- 20:22others. Within what timeframe? Within 2
- 20:25weeks after the phone starts working on
- 20:28a Russian network.
- 20:30That is, as soon as some SIM card is
- 20:32inserted into it, either a Russian SIM
- 20:35card or a foreign SIM card connected to
- 20:37Russian towers.
- 20:40And when you enter Russia with a foreign
- 20:43SIM card, with your phone, with a
- 20:45foreign SIM card, well, the phone starts
- 20:48picking up the Russian network.
- 20:51For phones already in operation that
- 20:54worked on the Russian network before
- 20:57April 2027, nothing needs to be
- 20:59registered. But everything after April
- 21:012027 will most likely need to start
- 21:03being registered.
- 21:05If these are official smartphones sold
- 21:08through official retail, then they do
- 21:11not need to be registered.
- 21:13The official customs authorities enter
- 21:15them into the registries themselves.
- 21:18Everything will likely go into effect
- 21:21after March 1, 2027.
- 21:25Therefore, if you planned to buy a
- 21:28smartphone abroad or you planned to buy
- 21:30a smartphone imported through a gray
- 21:32scheme, it is better to do it before
- 21:35March 1, 2027.
- 21:37The Central Bank has banned auto loans
- 21:39longer than 8 years.
- 21:41If previously car dealerships usually
- 21:43set auto loans for 10 years so that the
- 21:45monthly payment was minimal and
- 21:47affordable, this practice is now
- 21:49officially banned.
- 21:51Why is this really important? The share
- 21:53of auto loans longer than 7 years. In
- 21:552022 it was 8%
- 21:58of such long auto loans, and by 2026 it
- 22:01was already 26%.
- 22:03There are, of course, reasons why this
- 22:05is being done, but how important are
- 22:07they really to us? They are not
- 22:08important to us. We just need to keep in
- 22:10mind that auto loans will now be less
- 22:13accessible. Why less accessible?
- 22:15Because if it is less than 8 years, the
- 22:18payment will increase significantly and
- 22:20it will be less affordable.
- 22:22It turns out that many will opt out of
- 22:25higher-class vehicles, choosing cheaper
- 22:27ones to keep payments more affordable,
- 22:30or will forgo auto loans entirely,
- 22:32because the term really has a huge
- 22:34impact on the payment size.
- 22:36Something very interesting is happening
- 22:39in the American tech stock market.
- 22:41Earnings reports have started to come
- 22:42out.
- 22:43Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple
- 22:45have reported, and all of their
- 22:47businesses are growing at record rates.
- 22:50But they are spending a lot of money
- 22:54building AI data centers.
- 22:58And the market is saying that you are
- 23:01spending too much; the profit you get
- 23:03from the AI segment is not large enough
- 23:05to justify investing so much money.
- 23:09If you are developing AI and pouring so
- 23:12much money into it, but your real
- 23:14profits come from other areas, not AI,
- 23:16then why on earth are you handling money
- 23:18that way?
- 23:21investors ask, effectively selling off
- 23:24the shares of companies most involved in
- 23:26this.
- 23:27For example, Google shares dropped more
- 23:30than 12%in a single day.
- 23:32This is the worst result, the worst day
- 23:34, I believe, since 2004 for Google stock
- 23:37. And what was happening in 2004? We had
- 23:40, um, the dot-com bubble bursting. What
- 23:45is the dot-com bubble?
- 23:48It’s when you got the opportunity to
- 23:49sell online, and everyone thought that
- 23:51if you built a website and sold goods
- 23:53through it, everyone would flock to you
- 23:55and your sales would grow tenfold.
- 23:58But it turned out that it wasn't about
- 24:00the website, but about real value for
- 24:02the end customer and the customer's
- 24:04purchasing power.
- 24:06And if at first everyone had high hopes
- 24:08—oh, we'll build online stores and
- 24:10everything will take off—then they
- 24:12realized that it wasn't enough to just
- 24:14build a website, right?
- 24:17Indeed, in the end, e-commerce
- 24:20significantly increased sales volumes,
- 24:23but not in the early 2000s when everyone
- 24:27was betting on it; it only became super
- 24:30popular in the 2010s.
- 24:34The stocks rose long before seeing the
- 24:36real financial effect of having an
- 24:38online store, that is, your own website
- 24:41on the internet.
- 24:43And it is the same with artificial
- 24:45intelligence.
- 24:46Artificial intelligence itself and the
- 24:48investments in it are great, but you are
- 24:50taking too long to turn a profit from it
- 24:53.
- 24:53You are putting in the investment,
- 24:55alright. But when will you actually
- 24:57start making money from it, investors
- 24:59ask the companies that are investing so
- 25:01heavily. And because of this, sell-offs
- 25:04have now begun in tech sector stocks.
- 25:08Also, tech stocks are being pressured by
- 25:11Democratic regulations.
- 25:13They are generally such green-leaning
- 25:16folks, in what sense?
- 25:18They always pressure companies that harm
- 25:21the environment in some way.
- 25:23And data centers really do harm the
- 25:25environment. These involve clearing vast
- 25:27areas of forest.
- 25:29Or they occupy fertile soil that could
- 25:32have been used for food, but instead
- 25:35they build a huge cluster there, a data
- 25:37center, and we are talking about square
- 25:40kilometers, you know?
- 25:43These are very large territories.
- 25:46They also consume a lot of water to cool
- 25:48their equipment and use a great deal of
- 25:50electricity, and the greens don't like
- 25:52any of that.
- 25:55The Democrats are very "green," and they
- 25:57can introduce additional fines and
- 25:59regulatory requirements for tech
- 26:01companies.
- 26:02They also put a lot of pressure on
- 26:04enforcing sanctions. That also limits
- 26:06their profits and revenue. That’s the
- 26:08story.
- 26:09So, the Democrats have influenced how
- 26:11much tech company stocks are worth here
- 26:14.
- 26:15That's the situation.
- 26:17I believe we are seeing the beginning
- 26:19now, and this is my personal opinion,
- 26:21not a news broadcast.
- 26:23We have seen only the beginning of the
- 26:25decline in tech sector stock prices.
- 26:29I believe that the decline in tech
- 26:31stocks will continue through the first
- 26:33quarter of 2027.
- 26:35I mean, no, it won't be a straight
- 26:37plummet, just falling and falling. It
- 26:39will be like this: a correction, a
- 26:41recovery, another correction, a recovery
- 26:43, another correction, and a small
- 26:44recovery. In the end, the stocks will
- 26:47still be worth less in the first quarter
- 26:49of 2027 than they are now. This is my
- 26:52private opinion as a private investor. I
- 26:55am not a stock market analyst, but I am
- 26:57a private investor with a lot of
- 26:59experience who can share my opinion with
- 27:02a large audience. While understanding
- 27:04that many people listen to me. And even
- 27:06two weeks ago, I advised some people in
- 27:09private messages when they asked me if
- 27:11they should sell. "I have a large profit
- 27:14on American tech stocks.""Should I take
- 27:15the profit?" I said, "Yes, it is worth
- 27:17taking; lock it in.""Most likely, it
- 27:18will be even cheaper later." This is my
- 27:21private opinion, let me repeat. It will
- 27:23likely happen that way, I believe. And
- 27:26there are also some very interesting
- 27:27movements happening on the Russian stock
- 27:29market.
- 27:31VK shares went up 30%in a day, and
- 27:35Nvidia shares went up 40%in a day.
- 27:39Aktina shares went up 70%in a day. They
- 27:43are all being moved to a discrete
- 27:44auction. A discrete auction is a special
- 27:46type of stock trading.
- 27:48They may ban short positions on stocks
- 27:51there, or taking these stocks on margin
- 27:53, and so on.
- 27:56But the point is, if you have these
- 27:58stocks and they suddenly shoot up, sell
- 28:00immediately; try to sell them, because
- 28:02this is your chance to sell.
- 28:05There is no fundamental reason for these
- 28:07stocks to rise. This is most likely a
- 28:09speculative pump. Sell.
- 28:11If you see such a rise, don't jump into
- 28:14those stocks, just stay away from them
- 28:16if you don't already have them, because
- 28:18just as they grew by 70%, they could
- 28:20fall by 40%the next day.
- 28:23This is a very common story in the
- 28:25Russian stock market, especially if it's
- 28:27some kind of speculative demand or a
- 28:29speculative movement. If you hold shares
- 28:31of these companies and see such a sharp
- 28:33spike, get rid of them immediately. This
- 28:35is your chance to exit these stocks with
- 28:38good momentum. That is all I have for
- 28:40today. Sending you my best. See you all
- 28:42in a week. And most importantly,
- 28:44remember that investing is available to
- 28:45everyone.
