The Big Inflation LIE | The Fed's Great Reset EXPOSED. — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00is it possible that the Federal Reserve
- 0:02is making a massive mistake and that
- 0:04inflation is actually zero yes I know if
- 0:08inflation were actually zero we wouldn't
- 0:10be worried about diesel shortages we
- 0:12wouldn't be worried about Russia tearing
- 0:13up its Ukraine export agreement for
- 0:16wheat we wouldn't be worried about
- 0:18near-term inflationary pressures and
- 0:19quite frankly if inflation were zero we
- 0:22would not even be worried about those
- 0:24darn fomc meetings because we know at
- 0:27every one of these fomc meetings the
- 0:29Federal Open Market Committee meetings
- 0:31put on by the Federal Reserve we become
- 0:34fearful that the FED is going to tell us
- 0:37they have to raise rates more to tame
- 0:39inflation as they have done every single
- 0:43last report that we've had and
- 0:45unfortunately we know that the Federal
- 0:47Reserve is really sensitive to what's
- 0:50pronounced or at least outlined in these
- 0:53CPI reports and job reports in fact look
- 0:56here's an article from the Cato
- 0:58Institute which tells us that as soon as
- 0:59as we saw CPI data coming out you had
- 1:03articles in the Wall Street Journal and
- 1:06other sources immediately saying that's
- 1:07it this solidifies rate increases from
- 1:11the Federal Reserve in other words the
- 1:12FED likes to say oh no we have different
- 1:14metrics we don't like to use the CP lie
- 1:17either because really price has probably
- 1:20weren't up eight percent they're
- 1:22probably up more like 15 percent year
- 1:24over year let's be real but the CP lie
- 1:27could ironically also be keeping the FED
- 1:30even though it's not super accurate for
- 1:32us as individuals could actually be
- 1:35keeping the FED substantially more
- 1:36aggressive for a lot longer than they
- 1:39should be because of data that the Cato
- 1:41Institute breaks down we're going to
- 1:43talk about that data in this particular
- 1:45video now look there are a lot of
- 1:48different arguments about what's going
- 1:49on with the Federal Reserve and what's
- 1:50going on with interest rates and
- 1:52inflation most important thing to know
- 1:54is the next meeting from the FED is
- 1:57November 2nd and we actually won't even
- 1:59get get a lot of good Data before then
- 2:01we just had the employment cost
- 2:03indicator which did indicate that
- 2:05inflation and wages is still around
- 2:08which unfortunately wage-based inflation
- 2:11is probably one of the biggest concerns
- 2:13that we have if you jump over to a
- 2:16JPMorgan report here you'll see that a
- 2:18wage price spiral being noted as
- 2:20possibly developing is a real risk
- 2:22factor and something that the Federal
- 2:23Reserve is watching and being very
- 2:25careful of but one of the things to
- 2:27realize is for this next fed meeting and
- 2:30we're not expecting many changes why
- 2:32because between the next fed meeting on
- 2:36November 2nd and the one in the second
- 2:37week of December I believe it's right
- 2:40around December 13th you end up getting
- 2:43a jobs report on November 2nd you get a
- 2:46CPI report the week after that you get
- 2:48another jobs report the first week of
- 2:50December you get another CPI report
- 2:52after that so don't expect any changes
- 2:54from the Federal Reserve anytime soon
- 2:56this video is designed to be something
- 2:58for you to think about for the longer
- 3:01term because it could really change the
- 3:03way that you invest so let's go ahead
- 3:06and jump on into exactly what the Cato
- 3:08Institute says because for now we've
- 3:11already known that Goods inflation is
- 3:15expected to slow we're expecting to see
- 3:17not only Supply chains normalize but
- 3:20we're also seeing container costs
- 3:23decline we are seeing used vehicle
- 3:26prices decline we expect CPI to Trend
- 3:30down over time CPI is this white line
- 3:33but we do expect it to take time via
- 3:36this blue line which is a little
- 3:37frustrating because unfortunately even
- 3:39though inflation is expected and
- 3:41forecasts to drop this model here by the
- 3:44Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
- 3:46forecast by JP Morgan here we're still
- 3:49dealing with really high inflation now
- 3:51but is it possible the FED could be
- 3:55making a big mistake well take a look at
- 3:57this the Cato Institute just released a
- 3:59piece entitled CPI less rent was Zero
- 4:03for three months and basically
- 4:06suggesting that the CP lie is wrong to
- 4:09the downside now historically we've been
- 4:12thinking about the CPI being the CP Li
- 4:14because it's probably inflation's
- 4:16actually been a lot higher but what if
- 4:18it's actually now flip-flopped and the
- 4:20inflation that we've been experiencing
- 4:22is now behind us we're still stuck with
- 4:24higher prices but we're not getting
- 4:26increasingly higher prices and what if
- 4:28that means the FED would make a big
- 4:29mistake so you remember how inflation
- 4:31works if you have a widget that costs
- 4:34100 year zero and the next year that
- 4:38widget costs 110 dollars year one we're
- 4:42still dealing with 10 percent inflation
- 4:45that has not changed but if the year
- 4:48after that let's just call it the now
- 4:51that is still 110 dollars that being the
- 4:55now we technically have is zero
- 4:58inflation now don't get me wrong you're
- 5:01still paying the higher price but we
- 5:03have zero inflation so is there a case
- 5:06that there's actually zero inflation
- 5:08right now yes that is exactly what the
- 5:11Cato Institute is telling us let's take
- 5:14a look at their breakdowns oh right
- 5:16after I mention that we have a Halloween
- 5:18coupon code expiring for the programs on
- 5:19building your wealth uh there have been
- 5:21some questions on the differences
- 5:22between the courses we have a new course
- 5:24coming out called the elite Hustlers
- 5:27University course this is all going to
- 5:28be about entrepreneurship Business
- 5:30Development income growth and career
- 5:31growth that's coming soon it's not
- 5:33actually for sale yet but in the
- 5:34meantime we do have a Halloween coupon
- 5:36code therefore all of these programs
- 5:38right here real estate stocks and
- 5:40psychology of Money YouTube
- 5:41do-it-yourself property management and
- 5:43Rental Renovations of course for these
- 5:44you still get lifetime access to the
- 5:46course member q a fundamental live
- 5:48streams new lectures coming and there
- 5:50will be a price increase for these here
- 5:52so take advantage of the Halloween
- 5:53coupon code jump in on these and stay
- 5:55tuned for the announcement for the elite
- 5:57Hustler's program but for now take a
- 5:59look at this this is the core argument
- 6:02made by the Cato Institute they say if
- 6:06you look at this chart very very closely
- 6:08and you say hey wait a minute let's go
- 6:11ahead and zoom in here and say wait a
- 6:14second consumer price index for
- 6:18everything everything less shelter then
- 6:22we want to pay attention to these little
- 6:24bluish lines okay so let's do that where
- 6:28are the bluish lines wow they're right
- 6:31over here they're actually negative
- 6:34and see we can see that clearly when we
- 6:37zoom in here look at this here's the
- 6:40zero percent line right here and both of
- 6:44the all item lines less shelter that's
- 6:48the seasonally adjusted and the
- 6:50non-seasonally adjusted lines for the
- 6:52last three months
- 6:54have been below zero so negative or zero
- 6:58take a look at that right here July
- 7:01August September both of them seasonally
- 7:04adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted
- 7:06have completely collapsed
- 7:09so what's actually keeping inflation up
- 7:12well the only thing that's keeping
- 7:14inflation up in this recent trajectory
- 7:17here it's kind of like that 110 widget
- 7:19is 110 you look back a year ago you're
- 7:21like Kevin it's still more expensive I'm
- 7:24still paying more that's right but it's
- 7:28not going up anymore that is potentially
- 7:31a big game changer that the Federal
- 7:33Reserve appears to be blind to and
- 7:35that's a really big risk that the
- 7:37Federal Reserve could end up over
- 7:40tightening forcing a recession much more
- 7:43so than they actually need to the Cato
- 7:46Institute suggests the following and
- 7:48these are some pretty incredible notes
- 7:50okay look at this
- 7:52what makes three months of zero
- 7:56inflation in all items less shelter more
- 7:59remarkable is that listen to this folks
- 8:01it includes energy and food
- 8:06it also includes other CPI service items
- 8:09based on last year's data such as health
- 8:12insurance which is based on industry
- 8:14profits from 10 years ago and soon to
- 8:17fall the Cato Institute isn't the only
- 8:19one projecting that we're expecting to
- 8:20see large declines in health care costs
- 8:22remember that JP Morgan report right
- 8:24here look at what the JP Morgan report
- 8:26told us the largest likely decliner was
- 8:30going to be in September of 2023 look at
- 8:33that expecting a 39 percent decline in
- 8:36inflationary costs for health insurance
- 8:38while shelter Still Remains at seven and
- 8:43a half percent which is also look at
- 8:46this right on the right side here see
- 8:48this column that says share of core
- 8:50inflation
- 8:52negative 39 on health only makes up one
- 8:55percent of the CP lie whereas you jump
- 8:58over here seven and a half percent on
- 9:01rental inflation you're at
- 9:0341.6 percent of core now why is that
- 9:06such a problem well it's such a problem
- 9:08because the Federal Reserve even in the
- 9:11other indices that they use over weight
- 9:16shelter and not only do the CPI
- 9:19indicators and the measures via pce
- 9:23indices that the FED uses overweight
- 9:26shelter not only is that the case but
- 9:28shelter inflation has already started to
- 9:32Peak by most accounts if we stop using
- 9:35these measures uh like owner's
- 9:38equivalent rent we start seeing that
- 9:40inflation actually peaked around May or
- 9:42June so what is owner's equivalent rent
- 9:45and why does everybody keep talking
- 9:46about it well here's just basically how
- 9:49this would work
- 9:50if owners are surveyed and they're asked
- 9:53hey how much do you think your property
- 9:55could rent out for they might think well
- 9:58over the past few years we've seen
- 10:01properties in our neighborhood rent for
- 10:032500 a month so that might be your owner
- 10:07equivalent rent survey the problem with
- 10:10this measure is it doesn't tell you
- 10:12what's going on with current rents
- 10:14current rents are generally defined by
- 10:17asking prices that actually end up
- 10:20having leases associated with them in
- 10:22other words closed rental comps so
- 10:25somebody lists a property for three
- 10:27thousand dollars and then that leases
- 10:29and it shows up as a lease comp at three
- 10:32thousand dollars we know rent has
- 10:33actually gone up in this case by 20
- 10:36percent to three thousand dollars a
- 10:38month which is kind of what we've seen
- 10:40Nationwide
- 10:42however when you look at what Zillow and
- 10:44a core logic and almost every single
- 10:48leading indicator for rental inflation
- 10:50tells us almost every single one of them
- 10:53tell us we hit a Peak in May or June and
- 10:56we've already started to see the
- 10:58inflection to the downside the problem
- 11:00is
- 11:01the CP lie continues to focus on this
- 11:04and this number is still trending up
- 11:07from 2500 to 3000 very very very slowly
- 11:12so now we have a double problem we have
- 11:16a Federal Reserve that is giving way too
- 11:18much weight to these nasty matrices for
- 11:22rental inflation and yes it's catching
- 11:25up but the problem is there's so much
- 11:26weight on that rental inflation that
- 11:29we're actually telling the FED hey
- 11:30inflation is so high but the biggest
- 11:33thing that's really contributing to that
- 11:35rental inflation is right here it's rent
- 11:38because again if you look at all items
- 11:41less shelter what do you get all items
- 11:44less shelter there you go under zero
- 11:48percent inflation you could look at this
- 11:50on the St Louis fed website it's simple
- 11:53it's just sad it's sad because the
- 11:55Federal Reserve is doing us a dirty one
- 11:58and so unfortunately the Cato Institute
- 12:00suggests that it takes a lot long time
- 12:02to see notable changes in year-over-year
- 12:04inflation and the Federal Reserve is
- 12:06making a big mistake being as aggressive
- 12:07as they are hopefully this leads to some
- 12:10realization by the FED over the next
- 12:13couple months that hey we do realize
- 12:15that these owner equivalent rents are
- 12:17kind of skewing the numbers a little bit
- 12:18it's time for us to soften the pace of
- 12:21our rate increases this could be a very
- 12:23bullish indicator to markets because
- 12:25here's the thing the Cato Institute
- 12:27tells us that if monthly CPI did not
- 12:29increase at all in the next three months
- 12:32in other words month over month CPI was
- 12:35literally zero over the next three
- 12:37months year-over-year inflation would
- 12:40still sit at 7.3 percent in October
- 12:43which will be the November report we get
- 12:456.4 percent in November and 5.9 in
- 12:49December in other words we would have to
- 12:51actually see deflating prices those
- 12:54widgets going from 110 to 105 again to
- 12:57really see the uh backwards looking
- 13:00year-over-year number verse fall more
- 13:03quickly but we're not going to see that
- 13:05which is very unfortunate because now we
- 13:08have to wonder okay so the FED is
- 13:11looking at data that is substantially
- 13:13lagging reality how do we position
- 13:16ourselves in an invest for the potential
- 13:19that the FED realizes we screwed up we
- 13:22need to slow down
- 13:24well I think it's pretty obvious the
- 13:27more the FED keeps hiking so if you
- 13:30think the following that the FED needs
- 13:32to keep hiking because you actually
- 13:34think that inflation is going to get
- 13:36worse you don't even really care about
- 13:39this you just think inflation is going
- 13:40to get worse rental inflation is going
- 13:43to continue to get worse even if it
- 13:45inflected down a little bit everything
- 13:46else is getting more expensive and you
- 13:48don't see it going down then you want to
- 13:50be invested in things like cash or
- 13:52probably treasury bonds and bills
- 13:55cash-like instruments although these
- 13:58will lose value unless of course you're
- 14:00just sitting in them in an inflationary
- 14:03environment t-bills will lose value
- 14:04unless of course you're sitting in them
- 14:05just milking the yield and then it
- 14:07doesn't matter if their market value
- 14:08goes down generally cash is the best
- 14:11thing to have in an inflationary
- 14:13environment where the Federal Reserve is
- 14:15continuing to hike now I know that seems
- 14:17counterintuitive because you might be
- 14:18thinking oh but my cash is losing
- 14:19purchasing power well it depends what
- 14:21you're going to buy if you're going to
- 14:22buy things that are going up in price
- 14:25like food and gas yes your cash loses
- 14:28purchasing power but if you're planning
- 14:29to buy assets whether those are bonds or
- 14:32it's real estate or it's stocks your
- 14:35cash actually gains in purchasing power
- 14:37during an inflationary environment where
- 14:39the Federal Reserve is hiking now if you
- 14:41believe that it's possible in this
- 14:43November meeting and December meeting
- 14:45that the Federal Reserve finally comes
- 14:47around and goes hey you know we actually
- 14:49think inflation is meaningfully going
- 14:51down because when we start realizing
- 14:53that shelter is is sort of being Mis
- 14:56labeled here and being misread and this
- 14:58is something historically we haven't
- 15:00seen this is uh sort of like this time
- 15:02is different moment which are very
- 15:04dangerous words in investing but I mean
- 15:06the fact is you know this is pretty
- 15:07unique
- 15:08If the Fed comes out with that well then
- 15:10you're probably going to be looking at a
- 15:12fed that's more dovish and a more dovish
- 15:15fed would imply you probably want to be
- 15:18in things like cyclicals which could be
- 15:20Tech it could be growth however these
- 15:23are still sectors that could experience
- 15:25an earnings recession as we've already
- 15:28been seeing with Google ads plummeting
- 15:30with uh Facebook plummeting with Amazon
- 15:33seeing growth slow for the next quarter
- 15:34so you're still going to see that EPS
- 15:37risk and decline in potential margins
- 15:40which is a risk but a dovish Fed almost
- 15:43always pushes up those cyclicals it
- 15:45pushes up growth stocks generally good
- 15:47for stocks in general and you have to
- 15:50ask yourself as soon as we get a dovish
- 15:52pivot is it possible that spreads on
- 15:54mortgages come down and we actually end
- 15:57the real estate crisis and collapse
- 15:59before it meaningfully actually has a
- 16:01chance to decline If the Fed U-turn in
- 16:05let's say January and all of a sudden
- 16:07mortgage rates fell down to save four
- 16:09percent again is it possible then that
- 16:12the real estate market maybe sells down
- 16:14eight ten percent but then quickly
- 16:16rebounds another three four five percent
- 16:17as everybody comes out of the woodwork
- 16:19to go buy real estate absolutely
- 16:21possible so important things to keep in
- 16:23mind by the way we've got a big deadline
- 16:25for house hack coming up on the 31st
- 16:27make sure that if you are an accredited
- 16:29investor and you want to join house hack
- 16:31you join by October 31st assign your
- 16:34agreement you could wire within a week
- 16:36after that just make sure you sign by
- 16:38October 31st if you're not accredited
- 16:40yet don't worry stay tuned we will have
- 16:43our non-accredited round coming up
- 16:44hopefully within the next few months
- 16:45thanks so much for watching and good
- 16:47luck
