Stocks Surge on Soft Inflation Data — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00out and let's talk about it kidding
- 0:02obviously the market is the lead Dan
- 0:04Nathan yeah I mean listen guy you say
- 0:07this all the time in a while actually
- 0:09which I think is really important I
- 0:10think you have a good track record doing
- 0:12this you're gonna say today is a day
- 0:14that I think you want a bookmark right
- 0:17you want to kind of remember this day
- 0:19because this is really listen there have
- 0:21been bits of soft inflation data here
- 0:25okay that that's basically kind of LED
- 0:27investors to think that maybe the FED
- 0:30could take their foot off the pedal a
- 0:31little bit here over the course of let's
- 0:33say the last six months or so but
- 0:35today's reaction not just in the stock
- 0:38market but also in the bond market is
- 0:41pretty powerful when you put those two
- 0:43things together you see here's a couple
- 0:45hot takes that we have over the the
- 0:47Twitter machine from some people that we
- 0:49follow quite uh closely you know the
- 0:52fed's semester saying that listen one
- 0:54piece of data I'm paraphrasing here does
- 0:56not make a pivot is that what you would
- 0:59kind of uh take away from nestor's
- 1:01comments on CNBC you know this is yes
- 1:03and this is how I would sort of sent
- 1:05this size it I'm sure behind closed
- 1:07doors they're thrilled that things are
- 1:09trending the right way but they also
- 1:11want to say listen let's not get ahead
- 1:13of ourselves you know let's continue to
- 1:15focus on things we want to make sure we
- 1:17get this under control so they're saying
- 1:19all the right things they're having the
- 1:21data gives them the latitude I think to
- 1:24speak a bit more hawkish so it's working
- 1:26out and I want to be very clear I mean
- 1:29it is working out I think their ability
- 1:31to vocalize and explain what they're
- 1:33trying to do I think they've done a much
- 1:35better job over the last few months what
- 1:37the market does what is is what the
- 1:39Market's going to do but I think they've
- 1:40all been pretty much on the same page so
- 1:43this number softer than expected still
- 1:47elevated again gives them a little
- 1:49attitude to speak as hawkish as they
- 1:51want to speak that's my interpretation
- 1:53yeah and I guess what what the bond
- 1:55market is saying and if you look at the
- 1:57CME fed watch tool you know we have this
- 1:59meeting coming up in a few weeks in
- 2:00December here and it looks like very
- 2:02squarely that a strong likelihood of
- 2:05only 8 50 basis point hike and again I
- 2:07mean this is one of the reasons why you
- 2:09know if people can start seeing you know
- 2:11a slowing of the pace we've had four
- 2:13consecutive 75 basis point hikes and
- 2:15then you get to the New Year 2023 and
- 2:18maybe sooner or later you know the data
- 2:20we just have a string of softer data
- 2:22like this and maybe the FED can take
- 2:24their foot off the pedal and say they
- 2:25are at that point data dependent so I
- 2:28don't know I mean you know it's
- 2:30interesting guy when you think about
- 2:31this where my trepidation about the
- 2:34broader Market in the year end was that
- 2:37and you've been saying that we 4 100
- 2:39could be easily in the cards here
- 2:41um you know was how poorly Mega cap Tech
- 2:44has acted over the last few weeks we saw
- 2:46a bunch of reports and guidance that
- 2:49sent these stocks lower all but Apple
- 2:51but then obviously Apple filled in its
- 2:53entire upwards earning Gap so it moved
- 2:56lower and made a new low here and so
- 2:58when you think about you know the NASDAQ
- 2:59100 or we look to look at the QQQ how
- 3:02close it was at its lows yesterday to
- 3:05the recent lows in the cycle you know
- 3:07there's a lot of room to run and as
- 3:08Market call viewers know here I've been
- 3:10picking at some of these stocks on these
- 3:12gaps lower I bought some meta I bought
- 3:14some Amazon I bought some PayPal I
- 3:16bought some uh Google
- 3:17um you know but these are going to be
- 3:18trades here because I really I don't
- 3:20know about you guy I don't have a ton of
- 3:22confidence that we're out of the woods
- 3:24as it relates to earnings revisions
- 3:26because the headline today this morning
- 3:28is that Amazon led by its CEO Andy Jazzy
- 3:32who's only been in the seat for a little
- 3:33more than a year is single-handedly
- 3:35overseeing a cost reduction pin so a lot
- 3:38of these companies are taking this very
- 3:40serious meta had that announcement about
- 3:41jobs cut early in the week I just don't
- 3:43think we're out of the woods yet no and
- 3:44I apologize for the talk so I'll say
- 3:46this so this is the problem that the
- 3:48Federal Reserve is going to have in my
- 3:49in my opinion again what you're seeing
- 3:52today and we'll talk about this
- 3:53obviously the Dollar's backing up
- 3:54something that you thought would happen
- 3:56rates are coming in something you
- 3:58thought would happen which in on the
- 3:59margin are good things the problem is
- 4:02the commodity Market will take its cues
- 4:03from that and it's going to Commodities
- 4:05will get back on their horse which will
- 4:07then Elevate inflation and we'll be
- 4:10right back into so you can have this
- 4:11cycle for a period of time I think where
- 4:13you get good data the market behaves
- 4:16like it should in other words the stock
- 4:17market goes higher yields go lower
- 4:19dollar goes lower but then Commodities
- 4:21get back on the horse which fuels
- 4:23inflation which requires them to do more
- 4:25money so that's where we are right now
- 4:27but don't you think it's an interesting
- 4:29guy that you know crude oil is up less
- 4:31than one percent today you know two days
- 4:33ago we detailed a bearish trade ID in
- 4:35The XLE and the offices Market that I
- 4:37put on
- 4:38um you know the XLE massively
- 4:40underperforming you know the broad
- 4:41Market
- 4:43um so you know to me when I look at this
- 4:44there's a chance that maybe crude
- 4:47doesn't get going and some of these
- 4:48other Commodities and maybe you'll see a
- 4:50rotation out of energy stocks and you
- 4:52know so I don't know and I also think
- 4:54it's interesting that you know this
- 4:56midterm ended up being much closer than
- 4:58I think anybody thought and you know I
- 5:00kind of came up with that little fmaga
- 5:02the Facebook Microsoft Apple Google and
- 5:04Amazon because to me for the last few
- 5:06years that was the stock market the
- 5:08direction of them you know what I mean
- 5:10was the key when you look at today the
- 5:12outperformance you look at the size of
- 5:14the market caps of these companies and
- 5:16the performance that they're having on a
- 5:18week again where I think a lot of Voters
- 5:20in this country basically said fmaga so
- 5:23I'm just going to tie that little bow on
- 5:25on that one there guys nicely done so
- 5:27this is what I'll say did their
- 5:28businesses change in the last 24 hours
- 5:31absolutely not and to your point are you
- 5:34going to see earnings revisions because
- 5:35the stock market's going higher today no
- 5:38again the problems that the Market's
- 5:40been facing haven't gone away this print
- 5:44helped assuage some of the concerns some
- 5:46of the inflation concerns but the
- 5:48Slowdown concerns are still there
- 5:50because quite frankly companies are
- 5:52telling you that things are slowing down
- 5:54and they're telling you that they're
- 5:56starting to lay people off and they're
- 5:58telling you that margins are being
- 5:59compressed so all those things are not
- 6:02bullish again the stock market reaction
- 6:04is bullish but that does not change help
- 6:08um in Impact anyway earnings or earnings
- 6:10growth from here on but but couple
- 6:13things here and I'd say this okay so
- 6:15let's just talk about some geopolitical
- 6:17headlines that could help earnings okay
- 6:19that would cause yields to go lower
- 6:21would cause the dollar to go lower
- 6:25um you know so you saw this headline
- 6:26that Biden's going to be meeting with
- 6:27President XI um in Indonesia next week
- 6:30okay that's potentially a really good
- 6:33sign for easing of sort of tensions
- 6:35right you saw that the Russians are
- 6:38pulling back from some areas in Ukraine
- 6:40right so maybe there's a potential for
- 6:43some sort of easing in that situation so
- 6:45you know with when you think about where
- 6:47we were a year ago at this time we were
- 6:49worried about the FED battling inflation
- 6:51we were worried about the Russians
- 6:53invading Ukraine and disrupting Supply
- 6:55chains we were worried about zero covet
- 6:57at China you know what I mean like
- 6:59there's the potential that we could get
- 7:01into 2023 and maybe the world looks kind
- 7:04of less dramatic attic that it had been
- 7:06for the better part of this year no apps
- 7:08listen of course this is absolutely the
- 7:10potential and there's potential you know
- 7:12for things you know why are the Russians
- 7:14pulling back I mean who knows what the
- 7:15thought process there you know they're
- 7:16going to try to Stage another different
- 7:19type of I mean I you know I can combat
- 7:21those arguments but you're right those
- 7:23things could absolutely happen and I
- 7:24think a lot of people are starting to
- 7:26get on that bandwagon you know President
- 7:27Biden meaning president XI is that a
- 7:29good thing on the margins yeah I guess
- 7:31is it going to change this deep root of
- 7:33belief that the Chinese have that they
- 7:35want to be a global dominant power no
- 7:37probably not but in the short term again
- 7:40it assuages some of the concerns so I
- 7:42think you bring up good points and the
- 7:43market is behaving exactly like that
- 7:45listen yesterday sell-off had everything
- 7:48to do and it will come up at some point
- 7:49in the show with what was happening in
- 7:51the crypto world I think it had nothing
- 7:53to do again with inflation fed and all
- 7:57those things that was just a one day's
- 7:58worth of noise so a lot of cross
- 8:01currents still they haven't gone away
- 8:02but again we've said it since October I
- 8:04think think what was it I think the 13th
- 8:0714 13 14 yeah and the 17th that you know
- 8:10we thought when the s p traded down to
- 8:1234.91 that would potential move to 4 000
- 8:15maybe an overshoot to 4100 was in the
- 8:17Cards into election and here we are so
- 8:19it's all sort of lining up the way we
- 8:21thought
- 8:22yes sir all right well here's one thing
- 8:24I have to change the way I'm lined up I
- 8:26have some bad lighting in myself
- 8:29I look like a hologram or something why
- 8:32don't you bring Carter into those fun
- 8:33movies get in here looking like you're
- 8:37behind your protective glass there or
- 8:39something just look at the zoo
- 8:44you're in the pope mobile or something
- 8:46there I love the Pokemon how are you
- 8:48caught it works I'm all right I'm right
- 8:49I'm all right how's it going no so good
- 8:51so you heard some of the things we were
- 8:53talking about and and quite frankly I
- 8:55think things are shaking out and sort of
- 8:59the way you thought they would as well I
- 9:00mean the back and fill in currencies the
- 9:03back and fill in yields the potential
- 9:05for the market to go up in the short
- 9:06term of maybe you know an oversold
- 9:09condition a couple weeks ago so just
- 9:11talk to me about today's action because
- 9:12everybody's all hyped up on the Mountain
- 9:14Dew exactly well I mean introduction if
- 9:17if it was 350 and we were wow s p is up
- 9:20seven what just happened it all just
- 9:22depends on how you close we know that
- 9:23right and so if we were to fade not
- 9:25going to happen like that but here's the
- 9:27thing you know I was just looking at
- 9:29this so what has really happened nothing
- 9:32has happened 10-year yields have gone to
- 9:34three eight percent I'll read this to
- 9:37you right here just like 10 year yield
- 9:38surge to 3.8 percent highest level since
- 9:412010. this was just in the news
- 9:43September 26th that is the headline high
- 9:47yield surge to 2.8 percent highest just
- 9:50in 20 years now it's we're 2.8 the same
- 9:54level but the listen it's a game you can
- 9:57Apple's earnings were no good Googles
- 9:59were no good Amazons were no good meta
- 10:02was no good and the stocks are up
- 10:04because the cost of 10-year money is it
- 10:072.8 percent and yet on September 26th
- 10:10the article was they're surging to 2.8
- 10:12percent the Market's terrible it's
- 10:14nothing not listening no is the bounce
- 10:16yeah you always get bounces but the way
- 10:19this ends more likely than not is lower
- 10:22dollar lower yields and lower stocks
- 10:25right and that's something you've been
- 10:26saying for a while so let's look at your
- 10:27s p chart because you have the arrows
- 10:29and the lines to back this entire thing
- 10:31up and by the way this is not you saying
- 10:33this in a vacuum today I mean this is
- 10:35what you've been saying for quite some
- 10:36time and it's playing out right before
- 10:37our very eyes you've actually said and
- 10:39I've said it as well on different shows
- 10:41that in in the knee jerk for yields
- 10:44going lower the equity markets will go
- 10:46higher until people figure out that
- 10:48they're you know they're going lower
- 10:50because things are slowing down and
- 10:51because you know the growth is slowing
- 10:54which is not a bullish thing so here we
- 10:55are an s p chart the lines draw
- 10:57themselves you have the arrows I think
- 11:00this suggests that there's a potential
- 11:02at the end of the year to trade around 4
- 11:06000 which by the way I mean that's
- 11:07something we've been saying here for a
- 11:09while
- 11:10right so I think the the hope with the
- 11:12very clear colors and the you see the of
- 11:14course the vertical line for the end of
- 11:15year we've got about 35 sessions left
- 11:17and the best case is you were to get to
- 11:20that downtrend line in effect since the
- 11:23Gen 4 high depicted in green and or we
- 11:27sort of continue to muddle along here
- 11:29but what is is important is this that
- 11:31right now we've simply recovered to
- 11:34where we were last week right so look at
- 11:36the price in the s p the level and it's
- 11:38where we were at the high last week
- 11:40we've just simply reversed losses from
- 11:43the preceding six eight ten sessions it
- 11:46doesn't feel to me as though it's got a
- 11:48lot of follow-through I think we're
- 11:49capped stuck we're contained by those
- 11:53green trend lines that you see so I'm
- 11:56going to make a comment before we go to
- 11:57yields but keep this chart up because if
- 11:59you look you know on the beginning of
- 12:00the chart in September of last year you
- 12:03had a series of higher highs and higher
- 12:05lows and we were in an uptrend it made
- 12:07sense and every time we traded up to
- 12:09that uptrend we we came off but we
- 12:11bounced again things changed in December
- 12:13where we've made a series of lower highs
- 12:16and lower lows and quite frankly we
- 12:19could trade up to or around 4 000 and
- 12:21that pattern is exactly the same right
- 12:24lower highs and subsequently probably
- 12:27lower lows so this is a good one just to
- 12:29have in the back of your mind because
- 12:31again in a bear Market we're seeing a
- 12:33bit of a rally but that happens to the
- 12:35point you made earlier all the time
- 12:37let's look at yields you brought another
- 12:38chart along again with lines so people
- 12:41can see them because I think that's very
- 12:42helpful
- 12:44uh yes I think we've got a maybe one or
- 12:46two iterations on yields but I mean the
- 12:48point about
- 12:49uh levels and trend lines and other
- 12:54reference points is that more often not
- 12:55they serve as a compass when you're in
- 12:58the dark because let's just talk about
- 13:0010-year yields if you ask any Economist
- 13:02did you know that 10 year yields were
- 13:04going to go to 30 base points didn't
- 13:05think that the worst single and this is
- 13:07ironic because I started in fundamentals
- 13:09of the when they put out payrolls that's
- 13:12the most observed number 40 and 50
- 13:14economists put in there we think
- 13:16payrolls will be this it is never right
- 13:18it's true okay what is Right more often
- 13:21not with its own error rate is a good
- 13:24chart and this is a good chart not
- 13:25because I drew it because look at those
- 13:27lines those are mathematically parallel
- 13:29blue lines and like a perfect sort of
- 13:32pinball machine when rates have hit the
- 13:35upper and lower band they have responded
- 13:37to the penny and what we're doing now of
- 13:39course is we're backing away from that
- 13:41upper band
- 13:42then Nathan is joined hi guys
- 13:45um you know I love this chart I I tend
- 13:47to look at some stuff I mean we've been
- 13:49focused on that kind of shorter term one
- 13:51Carter that just shows that kind of
- 13:52really steep uptrend from early August
- 13:54and the 10-year yield
- 13:56um went from two seven to what four two
- 13:58one here
- 13:59um and if you know this break is
- 14:01Meaningful and and to me you know if you
- 14:03look at that prior high that you have
- 14:05identified you know you're back at three
- 14:07and a half and guy and I were talking
- 14:09about this yesterday Carter and Market
- 14:10call basically saying that you know
- 14:12there's a world where three and a half
- 14:14three and a quarter in the 10-year yield
- 14:16is a really healthy thing I mean think
- 14:18back to 2018 guy when you know Fed chair
- 14:21Powell was Raising interest rates a
- 14:23quarter point every meeting and they got
- 14:25to about three and a quarter or almost a
- 14:27three percent in fed funds but the
- 14:2810-year was three and a quarter I mean
- 14:30without that Global growth fear you know
- 14:33that that might have been the path to
- 14:35normalizing rates in a way so I think we
- 14:38can all agree that nobody wants to see
- 14:40raids crash to your point Point guys if
- 14:42we saw the 10-year yield come down it
- 14:44would be reflective of growth it'd be
- 14:46reflective of flight to Quality there's
- 14:48a level that makes perfect sense
- 14:50especially if inflation's coming down
- 14:52here so to me I still like this this
- 14:55move lower in yields at least to three
- 14:57and a half percent by the end of the
- 14:59year and and maybe three percent we're
- 15:01gonna try something on the Fly here
- 15:02Mickey rat asks and Jacob if you can put
- 15:05up an XLV chart
- 15:07um what can we can we discuss the health
- 15:09care stock so the XLV I think I'm nine
- 15:11percent nine and a half percent of the
- 15:13XLV is Johnson and Johnson but then you
- 15:15have Lily Pfizer Abby those types of
- 15:18names but this has been a monster Carter
- 15:20and this is something you've talked
- 15:21about for a while you know we're
- 15:23probably at levels that we should fade
- 15:25here August September we traded up to
- 15:27these levels maybe we've over extended
- 15:29you know that double bottom is well
- 15:32intact but what are your thoughts here
- 15:33in the healthcare because if things are
- 15:35going to rotate into sort of higher
- 15:37valuation names Healthcare probably take
- 15:39a breather
- 15:40right so in and of itself just looking
- 15:43at that chart and you didn't know it was
- 15:44XLV was just a white background with
- 15:46black bars you'd say
- 15:49um bearish not particularly bullish not
- 15:51particularly you'd say that's what a
- 15:52pair of twos is it has no character but
- 15:55what is important is the relative
- 15:56strength exhibited by Health Care to the
- 15:59market and I continue to like healthcare
- 16:02as an overweight as do I Home Depot you
- 16:05brought with us because it's the move
- 16:06today again some of these individual
- 16:08stocks we could probably rattle off 50
- 16:10but Home Depot's one today where it
- 16:13looks like we're through that downtrend
- 16:15line and who knows what it means maybe
- 16:16it means we trade up the highs we made I
- 16:18don't know mid-summer late summer
- 16:20right so obviously a gap as is the case
- 16:23with almost all stocks today news
- 16:24related having to do with uh government
- 16:26data but the point here is two one it
- 16:30doesn't breach it's June low Market does
- 16:32it doesn't that's what relative strength
- 16:34is too it is now moved above that
- 16:37downtrend line now the downtrend doesn't
- 16:39have that much Authority all I've done
- 16:40is connect two points and today we've
- 16:42moved above and made it a third point
- 16:43but if you were to use a 150 moving
- 16:46average what you'll see if we might have
- 16:48this is that it's also starting to
- 16:50flatten and if we don't that's fine too
- 16:52no we have it this looks like to my
- 16:54right it has all the Care okay and so
- 16:57the moving average flattening typically
- 17:00happens at the same time when you move
- 17:01through the downtrend so if you do the
- 17:04downtrend line in red here they are
- 17:05together basically this is uh all that
- 17:09one would hope for for what should be
- 17:11the beginning of an important bearish to
- 17:14bullish reversal yeah here's one carton
- 17:16I know you're looking at Home Depot
- 17:17today not just because of the charts but
- 17:19again you know this was a knee-jerk also
- 17:21to the move in rates and and when you
- 17:23think about a group that's moving um
- 17:26today look at home builders I'm looking
- 17:27at Toll Brothers up 11 Lennar let's take
- 17:30a look at Lennar up 13 I see this thing
- 17:34you know breaking out above its 200-day
- 17:36obviously the 150 day would be
- 17:39um not far off of that this looks like a
- 17:41really constructive chart it just made a
- 17:44new like six month high today it's
- 17:45pulled back a little bit is this the
- 17:47sort of continuation move that you'd
- 17:49like here and again I've heard you say
- 17:51on numerous times over the last few
- 17:53weeks when you've looked at some charts
- 17:55that look bullish to you the whole idea
- 17:58that in this last down draft they did
- 18:00not make new lows this has to figure
- 18:02into that thinking too right so it it
- 18:05has almost all Aggregates and indices
- 18:08and asset class have their June low so
- 18:10did crypto Bitcoin and then most things
- 18:12went back and Revisited those lows some
- 18:15made new lows some didn't but this
- 18:16didn't and and the housing in general
- 18:18has not and so this is very similar to
- 18:22Home Depot
- 18:24um I'd want to be on the long side not
- 18:26the short side
- 18:27so I've got a dollar chart Carter
- 18:29because you know Dan said he's been
- 18:31sticking with this and it's proven to be
- 18:33correct you've made comments about this
- 18:35you drew that by the way that Arrow was
- 18:38drawn I know we saw this chart a couple
- 18:40weeks ago and you suggested it's
- 18:41probably going to exhaust itself the
- 18:42same conversation we had back in June
- 18:44that we said we're in an uptrend but the
- 18:47dollar will exhaust itself will probably
- 18:49trade to the lower end of the channel
- 18:50and then bounce that's exactly what
- 18:52happened we traded up to the top end of
- 18:54that channel as well and we've come off
- 18:56difference here though maybe is that now
- 18:59we're breaking through a channel
- 19:00thoughts here in the US dollar right so
- 19:02we put out a note to clients actually uh
- 19:04on Monday saying that we're going to
- 19:06approach the lower band but not hold we
- 19:09think it will break through and that is
- 19:12because it's the equal and opposite
- 19:14notice how we slightly broke through to
- 19:16the upside
- 19:17um where that last Arrow was drawn when
- 19:20the first judge was made you're likely
- 19:21just as you overshot there you're likely
- 19:23to undershoot and so that undershoot is
- 19:26underway the only ref reference point
- 19:28that matters now and I think we have it
- 19:29on here is the 150 moving average and so
- 19:32there they are together and I think we
- 19:34have it with just 150 to make it very
- 19:36clean and that's where I will be
- 19:39flipping around the dollar short trade
- 19:42and at least covering the short and then
- 19:44making the decision to either play for a
- 19:46bounce or not yeah if these guys can
- 19:48pull up the uup the ETF that tracks the
- 19:51the US dollar Index and again we've
- 19:52talked about this a lot fifty percent of
- 19:54the weight of that ETF is the Euro we
- 19:56know how the Euro has been so weak and
- 19:58again I do think it's interesting to
- 19:59have the Break
- 20:00um of this trend you know if you look at
- 20:03this thing I mean I'm really I I guess
- 20:05from the get-go I've been saying I've
- 20:06been playing for a move back to 28 I
- 20:08think that gets you know below that
- 20:10uptrend but but really kind of um you
- 20:12know does the job it gets back to a
- 20:14breakout level so in my mind that's
- 20:16where um I'd be taking
- 20:18um that bearish trade-off in the uup
- 20:20guys I got to give you guys both props
- 20:23here
- 20:24um Carter you had a note I think earlier
- 20:26this week or maybe late last week on
- 20:28gold miners guy you've been talking
- 20:30about I think you said it on Market call
- 20:32there's ever a time for gold to hold and
- 20:36you're looking at the GLD
- 20:37um it's right here are you guys a little
- 20:40bit surprised by today's uh continuation
- 20:43you know given what we're seeing now I
- 20:46get it it maybe it's just dollar related
- 20:48here but it seems like is there a need
- 20:50to run out and buy gold it's forget the
- 20:52chart you understand what I'm saying
- 20:54given what we're seeing across you know
- 20:56risk asset markets right here
- 20:59uh guy why don't you go first and then
- 21:01is there a need to buy it no because
- 21:03every time you've done it on moves like
- 21:04this you've been you have not been
- 21:06rewarded but I will say this this I know
- 21:09to be factual central banks continue to
- 21:11be net buyers of gold it makes sense
- 21:15that gold is rallying here one
- 21:17technically off that really little
- 21:18short-term double bottom that we flagged
- 21:20and B Because if you think about rates
- 21:23coming down the headwind of a stronger
- 21:25dollar seems to be abating and again
- 21:28inflation's a problem but if the FED
- 21:29were to back away it opens the door for
- 21:32gold to go higher so and coupled with
- 21:34that the fact that crypto seemingly is
- 21:36blowing up before our very eyes you add
- 21:38all those things into the mix and it
- 21:40comes out for a pretty bullish equation
- 21:42for gold so I don't think you're going
- 21:44to miss it to the upside down but I
- 21:46think you definitely want to stay with
- 21:48it Carter
- 21:49right so it's it's ever thus with the
- 21:52with the circumstance of who one is in
- 21:54the market and what your time frames are
- 21:55so just looking at this
- 21:58um here's a here's a chart with some
- 21:59nice lines I I did draw them but uh
- 22:02forget the fact that I drew them they're
- 22:04they're kind of tell the story is that a
- 22:06downtrend it has multiple touches yes
- 22:08have we broken above the downtrend yes
- 22:10is it the setup of a triple bottom which
- 22:12is to say it was not making new lows but
- 22:16here's the issue and this is its Ultra
- 22:18time frame is do we Chase something with
- 22:21new money right now we'll take a look at
- 22:23the next chart we're getting awful close
- 22:25to 100. it's the reciprocal of the
- 22:27dollar the Dollar's getting close to 100
- 22:28average having sold off meaning this is
- 22:32very encouraging ultimate I think gold
- 22:34because I think they're going to start
- 22:35doing QE 990. I think that's what this
- 22:39is saying of course because we are going
- 22:40to go into recession but independent of
- 22:42that it's a tough Chase here and so this
- 22:45is in a perfect rower to speak to
- 22:48derivatives I would stay long and sell
- 22:50calls yeah hey guy you know so that's a
- 22:53really important Point here you've been
- 22:55saying that you know if you saw a backup
- 22:56in yields especially in the 10-year that
- 22:58would suggest that economic activity is
- 23:01weakening here and would you take the
- 23:02the same thought away is that Carter
- 23:04just did is that a continuation in the
- 23:06moving gold is greater confidence that
- 23:08the FED is going to go from the
- 23:10aggressive tightening to possibly
- 23:12aggressive loose monetary policy to kind
- 23:15of be more accommodative I guess if we
- 23:18do have a weaker economy well I mean I
- 23:20think Danny Moses thinks that's going to
- 23:21happen as well and there are a lot of
- 23:23people that were talking about that in
- 23:25the spring of this year the potential
- 23:27for it to happen in the spring of next
- 23:29year I hope they don't do it um because
- 23:32just the problems that we are trying to
- 23:34combat now we'll just come back in
- 23:35spades but what'll what'll happen if
- 23:38they do well that dollar that's now
- 23:40challenging that 150-day moving average
- 23:42will break through it to the downside
- 23:44and gold which is challenging the 150 on
- 23:46the upside will break through and all
- 23:48those things will come back in spades by
- 23:51the way you mentioned a perfect world
- 23:52Dan I know you don't want me to do this
- 23:53but great Kevin Costner movie oh yeah
- 23:57Clint Eastwood and the guy from
- 23:59um the the president movie remember that
- 24:01The West Wing the guy Whitmore Whitmore
- 24:04oh yeah Bradley Whitmore that guy I'm
- 24:07gonna tell you he's a political Beast I
- 24:10don't know if you're watching the
- 24:10handmaid's tale but he's like a tour de
- 24:13force in that in that show that that's
- 24:15what is he in that one yeah he's the
- 24:17he's the guy he's uh Lawrence he's the
- 24:19oh Lawrence he's kind of once once yeah
- 24:21with the scarf and all yeah no he's just
- 24:23a great character
- 24:24um a guy I'm happy that you did that I
- 24:26remember Laura derns in that movie too
- 24:28but that's that's Bruce Dern's daughter
- 24:30and she's in all the Jurassic Park
- 24:32movies anyway I I apologize she is she
- 24:34isn't that the Bitcoin that's the
- 24:36stokeberry the lead Dan this is this is
- 24:39your this is your Bally Wick you say
- 24:41that it's so funny because you know I
- 24:44think there's like Wars going on on
- 24:47Twitter about the Bitcoin here because
- 24:49all of these guys who had all the
- 24:51podcasts and the laser eyes and the 200
- 24:54000 price targets and all that stuff
- 24:57um they're not there anymore I don't see
- 24:59them tweeting about it I don't I think
- 25:01they shut down their podcast everything
- 25:02like that and you know I've always just
- 25:04found Bitcoin or crypto in general
- 25:06interesting because some of the smartest
- 25:09people that I know in Tech and finance
- 25:10find blockchain technology really
- 25:12interesting
- 25:14um and you know again I've never I've
- 25:16been really skeptical of guys like Jack
- 25:18Dorsey who have like this religious
- 25:20belief in something like Bitcoin so I
- 25:23haven't owned Bitcoin in years to be
- 25:25honest with you it's not something of
- 25:26interest to me so when you say it's my
- 25:28baliwick I find it interesting from an
- 25:30intellectual standpoint but look at this
- 25:32and Carter I drew these lines I'm just
- 25:34curious what you think again this is not
- 25:36a log chart we're going back to that
- 25:38last retail high in 2017 when that was
- 25:42just a frenzy that retail frenzy right
- 25:44and here we are you know and you made
- 25:46this point I think on fast money that or
- 25:48night you know everybody he thought this
- 25:50kind of 19 to 20 000 range was support
- 25:52until there was another evident scenario
- 25:56of a Ponzi scheme and look what happens
- 25:58it drops 25 percent in a straight line I
- 26:01guess I don't know how this doesn't go
- 26:03back and go to that kind of ten thousand
- 26:06dollar level where it took off from in
- 26:07late 2020 Carter thoughts on that yeah
- 26:10where we are now interesting is having
- 26:11undercut the June low we've thrown back
- 26:13to it right so we've had a big Ricochet
- 26:15over the last two sessions and we're
- 26:17right back to the breakdown level which
- 26:19is what the definition of overhead
- 26:21Supply is so how far down and go it can
- 26:25go as low as the imagination will allow
- 26:26the main thing of all things I think is
- 26:29that more money has been lost in Bitcoin
- 26:31than made right because there weren't
- 26:32there weren't as many people involved on
- 26:35the way up whereas the involvement the
- 26:37amount of capital since the peak has
- 26:39been tremendous and that's uh basically
- 26:41puts you in a hell of a situation Dan
- 26:43yeah well guy one thing I wanted to
- 26:46throw this chart Bitcoin
- 26:49software I mean yeah they look at this
- 26:51hand in hand apparently both of them
- 26:53topped out to the to the day you know 52
- 26:5652 uh weeks ago yesterday I guess and
- 26:59when you think about this is that you
- 27:01know software not that these things you
- 27:03know I think some investors were
- 27:04thinking of them in a similar capacity
- 27:07the way they thought about risk and and
- 27:08you know they were obviously well
- 27:10correlated but that looks like that's
- 27:12been diverging a little bit and I'm just
- 27:14curious thoughts there guy because would
- 27:16you rather buy crypto here or would you
- 27:18rather buy a bunch of software companies
- 27:20that have big market caps big valuations
- 27:23traded ten times sales
- 27:25so here you go I'm going to answer that
- 27:27I'm gonna I'm gonna do the answer you
- 27:28don't see coming I would submit that
- 27:31what's going on in the crypto world now
- 27:33is the market basically regulating
- 27:35itself and it's weeding out some of the
- 27:37Bad actors which in the long run is
- 27:40probably a positive thing so this
- 27:42actually might be one of those
- 27:43inflection points in Bitcoin so given
- 27:47the choice in the Would You Rather game
- 27:48believe it or not I can't even believe
- 27:50I'm about to say this Bitcoin wow that's
- 27:53that's pretty fast you know so I know
- 27:55you didn't see that one right Carter
- 27:57play the game buddy would you rather
- 27:59Bitcoin
- 28:01as a long I'd rather have igv for sure
- 28:04yeah all right well we we put we we did
- 28:08that we played that there was a guy
- 28:09named um remember this guy Pavlov is was
- 28:13his name yeah I like names like that
- 28:14sounds like a hockey player and he had a
- 28:16dog right and I guess what he would do
- 28:18is you know he'd ring a bell and then
- 28:19he'd give the dog whatever and got to
- 28:21the point where every time the belt the
- 28:22dog would salivate it's Pavlov's dog I
- 28:24mean it's it's legendary that's what's
- 28:27happened here on Market calls on
- 28:29Thursday all I got to do is say one
- 28:32freaking word and this entire comment
- 28:34section I mean I just I can just feel it
- 28:36lighting up it blows up all right you
- 28:39want me to say it or you want Carter to
- 28:41say it I'll say it if you want
- 28:43somebody who wants to say it please
- 28:45stand it all right but but here's the
- 28:47thing guy you know factset are fine
- 28:48sponsor they like to clip this segment
- 28:51so we just had a little fun live on that
- 28:53let's do it properly okay so here's the
- 28:56clippable part we can't get we can't
- 28:58finish up a Thursday without going to
- 29:01the great John Butters and the
- 29:03tremendous work that he does and Dan
- 29:05once again we are going to highlight his
- 29:08Thursday notes so slide it Earl all
- 29:11right well you know the name it is John
- 29:12Butters he is the senior earnings um
- 29:16analyst over there at factset and he
- 29:18writes his earnings Insight blog that
- 29:20drops every Friday morning but he gives
- 29:22us a little bit of a sneak peek on
- 29:24Thursday's Market call and actually Guy
- 29:27special announcement John Butters is
- 29:30going to be on Market call with us not
- 29:32just his note this is going to be next
- 29:34Thursday people so tune in if you want
- 29:37to see the man the myth and the legend
- 29:39but I find John's work really
- 29:41interesting because you know over the
- 29:43the course of each quarter as we're
- 29:45thinking about what the results are
- 29:47going to be he's always given us little
- 29:48tidbits on Thursday but I always find
- 29:50the postmortems really interesting too
- 29:52because sometimes we get so caught up in
- 29:54some of the individual names as they're
- 29:56reporting it's kind of hard to see the
- 29:58forest from the trees if you will but
- 30:01John in his earnings inside blog this
- 30:03week is talking about how investors have
- 30:06been rewarding positive EPS surprises
- 30:09and again you know we've spent a lot of
- 30:10time on Market call focusing on some of
- 30:13the big disasters that we've seen over
- 30:15the last couple of weeks whether it was
- 30:16Microsoft or Google or meta um and uh
- 30:21you know and Amazon all had 10 percent
- 30:23gaps or so but what his work is saying
- 30:25is that investors are kind of leaning
- 30:28into to companies when they're beating
- 30:30now he's also done a lot of work on how
- 30:32the uh average
- 30:34um you know estimate has come down over
- 30:35the course of the quarter so thoughts
- 30:37here a little bit guy on we know that
- 30:39estimates have been coming down and the
- 30:41companies that are beating lower nest
- 30:43events they're seeing their stocks pop
- 30:44at a greater rate than we have in the
- 30:46past you know but and so here's yes all
- 30:49those things are great and then this is
- 30:50my takeaway the market is also punishing
- 30:52negative EPS surprises more than the
- 30:54average third quarter which you know
- 30:56what in this environment those companies
- 30:58should be punished and what the further
- 31:00takeaway is and a zero interest rate
- 31:02environment nobody got punished ever and
- 31:05that led to complacency and laziness now
- 31:07as rates go higher you know today
- 31:09notwithstanding Carter loves that word
- 31:12companies are getting punished if they
- 31:14don't perform and that's the way the
- 31:16market should operate so everything that
- 31:18he put in this note makes perfect sense
- 31:20and it speaks to for the first time in a
- 31:22while an efficient market Dan
- 31:25yeah Carter thoughts on that because I
- 31:27know yeah so we I think that and we'd
- 31:29have to couple this with obviously the
- 31:31other work done by Butters which is or
- 31:33the revision analysts look earnings
- 31:36estimates going back to the 1970s
- 31:38typically revised one percent a month
- 31:40down because that's why they call it the
- 31:42sell side they're there to sell and so
- 31:44they put these price targets that are
- 31:46not realistic and then slowly over the
- 31:47course of the year they move them lower
- 31:49when you're in a down tape in a market
- 31:51such as this where you drop 20 to 40
- 31:54depending on the stock and let's start
- 31:56revising more aggressively down and then
- 31:58of course the Beats come in because
- 32:01you're beating numbers there are
- 32:03estimates that were really revised maybe
- 32:05too much so the real question is what is
- 32:08the beat rate of the pre-revised numbers
- 32:11and I don't suspect it's all that good
- 32:12all right well listen to John Butters
- 32:16check out his blog post is going to drop
- 32:18tomorrow on factset's website I got one
- 32:21question okay this is going to be a
- 32:22little bit of a curveball for you guys
- 32:24Rangers Red Wings tonight yeah the
- 32:26Rangers are in Detroit the fathers are
- 32:28there Rangers haven't been no no next
- 32:32week okay on the 17th Alibaba is
- 32:35reporting okay let's see if we can throw
- 32:37a chart up here okay stop trading down
- 32:40to 58 on the 21st of October I think it
- 32:42closed that day at 62 and change it
- 32:44traded over 100 million shares since
- 32:46October 31st of 2020 we have seen seven
- 32:50or eight 35 to 50 percent bounces from
- 32:53Merlot I think we saw a similar one on
- 32:56the 21st I think the stock has potential
- 32:58to trade 90. so here's the thing so next
- 33:02week we already talked about Biden's
- 33:04meeting President XI okay who knows what
- 33:07the hell is going to come out of that
- 33:08okay so you look at a stock like this to
- 33:10me this is kind of the poster child for
- 33:12Chinese equities at least from an
- 33:14American Investor's perspective you know
- 33:16I'm looking at the implied move in the
- 33:18options market so the next week okay
- 33:20with the stock just below 70 the next
- 33:23week 70 straddle all is uh would cost
- 33:26you that's the put premium and the call
- 33:28Premium but together it costs you about
- 33:30seven bucks seven bucks on Seventy ten
- 33:33percent provide that that gets you about
- 33:35ten percent implied moving either
- 33:36direction now if you thought the stock
- 33:38was going to 90 you could buy the next
- 33:42week 70 call okay you would only have a
- 33:44day or so after earnings to earn that
- 33:46out so you wouldn't want to do that but
- 33:47you could pay about three percent okay
- 33:49which about 50 you know five percent
- 33:51it's about fifty percent of the size of
