- what's different between today and 2008
- market crash 2008 market crash was about
- no income no assets Nina loans Banks
- were giving them money left and right
- hey uh stated income you're trying to
- qualify for $720,000 loan how much money
- did you make last year Tom I'm a school
- teacher
- $48,000 you're not going to get
- qualified for this Tom I going to ask
- this question one more time how much
- money did you make last year I just told
- you
- $48,000 do you want to get qualified for
- this or not yeah okay one more time how
- much money did you make last year
- 62 that's what it was no income no ass
- in 2008 right 2007 and then I remember
- the month when I knew it's over because
- the one guy in La who was making 400
- Grand a month uh had an office in Tanga
- Valley in Tanga or Koga 30,000 ft of
- office space November of 2007 he shuts
- it down o and this is right after you're
- seeing in WAMU Countrywide you know all
- 1:02
- these other companies that are doing
- what they're doing very problematic when
- that took place so then you saw cities
- like Riverside Community Riverside
- County
- 65% houses forclosure then you had loan
- modification then you have people that
- were buying five six homes paying the
- negative amortization payment which
- means if you got a loan this was a
- program that came here from Australia
- with the story you always hear about
- that this program was in Australia we
- brought it in America it was meant to
- only be for people who are affluent okay
- you got a $20 million loan on a house
- you got $40 million on a bank account
- I'll give you 20 million no problem you
- got four payments to make you got your
- 15year loan which is going to be the
- biggest loan you got your 30-year fix
- which is going to be reasonable but it's
- not a 15-year loan then you have your
- interest only that you're literally only
- paying interest and the loan stays the
- same amount or you got your negative
- amortization payment which means the
- 2:01
- loan gets bigger every month that you
- 2:03
- pay it because it's negative
- 2:05
- amortization every month the loan gets
- 2:08
- bigger okay so for example for the
- 2:10
- average person in America it would have
- 2:11
- been something like this it would have
- 2:12
- been NE gam payment was 1,200 bucks a
- 2:15
- month interest only was 1,800 bucks a
- 2:17
- month 30-year fix was $3,100 a month and
- 2:21
- 15E was $4,500 a month okay so people
- 2:24
- are like dude buy another house and
- 2:26
- another house and another so I got five
- 2:29
- houses that I'm paying 12200 bucks on I
- 2:31
- can afford to do that except that was
- 2:33
- only for two or three or 5 years and
- 2:35
- then all of a sudden your 1,200 payment
- 2:37
- goes to $4,200 Time 5
- 2:39
- houses how do you pay $20,000 a month
- 2:42
- you can't do it boom foreclosure
- 2:45
- foreclosure forclosure so that's not the
- 2:47
- case study of today the case study of
- 2:49
- today is somehow someway the government
- 2:52
- thought it's a good idea to lower
- 2:53
- interest rates to
- 2:55
- 1% and we had 3% loans that were going
- 2:59
- on and then we talk about 128 month
- 3:01
- expansion by the way if there's no covid
- 3:03
- that would have been 150 month expansion
- 3:05
- that we would have had that's not good
- 3:07
- to have a 150 month expansion because
- 3:10
- during that cycle that we went out
- 3:12
- Tom money was so cheap that people were
- 3:16
- just picking up money and buying stuff
- 3:18
- left and right it was so cheap go get a
- 3:20
- house go get a car rates were low you
- 3:24
- know these big companies are getting $50
- 3:25
- million lines $100 million lines $200
- 3:27
- million lines go get as much money as
- 3:29
- you can
- 3:31
- then Co hits when Co
- 3:34
- hits philosophically it was a show
- 3:37
- go work from home 18 months that's what
- 3:40
- you got to do essential
- 3:42
- non-essential and then when that took
- 3:44
- place companies like Twitter and many
- 3:46
- others said at Twitter under Jack dorsy
- 3:49
- you can work from home for the rest of
- 3:50
- your life what a Noble company that's
- 3:53
- what we got to do and then so we go
- 3:55
- through that cycle and then people
- 3:57
- started abusing employers and they had
- 4:00
- two jobs where they weren't telling
- 4:01
- anybody but they're making 82 here and
- 4:02
- 88 here so they're making $170,000
- 4:05
- thinking they can do this fraud that
- 4:07
- they're doing for the rest of their
- 4:09
- lives and then they're living a $170,000
- 4:12
- year lifestyle not realizing that's not
- 4:13
- going to be around forever and then the
- 4:15
- money that they put into the system all
- 4:17
- of a sudden people have cash in the bank
- 4:19
- like never before so we had $2.2
- 4:22
- trillion of cash Americans every quarter
- 4:25
- that thing went from 2.2 trillion to 1.7
- 4:27
- trillion to 1.4 trillion to 1.1 trillion
- 4:31
- and our savings as a nation kept going
- 4:34
- lower and lower and lower and lower so
- 4:37
- then we have um more money being printed
- 4:41
- into the economy and then we have the
- 4:44
- election then now covid is gone now we
- 4:48
- got to get people to come back to work
- 4:49
- they don't want to come back to work
- 4:51
- they want to work from home then
- 4:53
- companies like David Solomon Goldman
- 4:54
- Sachs they start saying no you got to be
- 4:56
- there for accountability on Monday
- 4:57
- morning and all this other stuff if you
- 4:59
- don't you're not getting your bonus
- 5:00
- people started kind of getting creative
- 5:02
- that's unfair that's not cool I'm going
- 5:05
- to go get another job many did then some
- 5:08
- companies came out and said no we're
- 5:09
- just not doing that and then you know
- 5:11
- that has taking place and then you have
- 5:13
- a bit of War you have craziness going on
- 5:16
- with another War you have all of these
- 5:18
- things taking place and then suddenly
- 5:21
- Jerome Powell sees inflation's going to
- 5:25
- 8% wait a minute what's going on here we
- 5:27
- got a led to 2% how do you to 2% let's
- 5:31
- start increasing interest rates we raise
- 5:34
- this is crazy we raised
- 5:38
- 4.88% in the shortest amount of time
- 5:40
- ever in the history of
- 5:42
- America there's a chart on statistic you
- 5:45
- got to see this it's a great Visual and
- 5:47
- it shows historically when we've had to
- 5:48
- increase rates it's over a threeyear
- 5:50
- span or it's over a six-year span or a
- 5:54
- three and a half year span no no this is
- 5:57
- over a 12 month 15 month SP span
- 6:02
- 4.88% boom like this hoping inflation
- 6:06
- goes down okay inflation moves a little
- 6:09
- bit sales of homes to the lowest in 20
- 6:13
- years mortgage applications lowest than
- 6:16
- 27 years people who were doing loans I
- 6:19
- don't know if you have friends who were
- 6:19
- doing loans or mortgages or real estate
- 6:21
- these are guys that were making a half a
- 6:22
- million dollars three years ago per
- 6:24
- month they're not making nothing right
- 6:26
- now guys who were making $100,000 a
- 6:28
- month are having a hard time making
- 6:29
- $88,000 a month WR down loans there is
- 6:31
- no loan application because even new
- 6:34
- homes are not being sold to do the loans
- 6:36
- of new homes so home sales are down
- 6:38
- because typically when refi comes down
- 6:40
- people will sell homes no one's selling
- 6:42
- homes today why are they not selling
- 6:44
- homes today because they're still
- 6:45
- sitting on some cash and they don't want
- 6:47
- to give up that 3% loan they got a year
- 6:49
- and a half ago and then you look at the
- 6:51
- data okay let's just say I do sell this
- 6:53
- house I got to go buy another house but
- 6:56
- I got to get that house at 8% I'm not
- 6:58
- willing to do it why would I do it so
- 6:59
- I'm not going to there is no motive to
- 7:01
- sell the house so now what's the ticking
- 7:04
- Time Bomb few things
- 7:05
- one Jerome PO is trying to increase
- 7:08
- rates hoping hoping unemployment
- 7:11
- increases because that's what we need
- 7:13
- they need the unemployment to increase
- 7:14
- it's not moving still 3.7 3.5 3.8 3.9
- 7:17
- it's not movement it's right
- 7:19
- there okay so either we need
- 7:21
- unemployment to go up or we need people
- 7:23
- to run out of money if people run out of
- 7:26
- money and they're stressed out guess
- 7:28
- what they they do they're going to sell
- 7:29
- the house so today numbers came out
- 7:32
- saying it's 55% more cheaper to rent
- 7:36
- than buy this is the highest we've had
- 7:38
- ever wow it's
- 7:39
- 55% cheaper to rent than to buy today
- 7:44
- this is not a buying season this is a
- 7:47
- renting season okay this is what Wall
- 7:49
- Street Journal many of these other
- 7:50
- articles we'll talk about okay
- 7:53
- meanwhile the economy is growing the
- 7:55
- economy is going up Dow Jones oh it's
- 7:57
- killing it based on seven compan
- 7:59
- companes magnificent 7 and you know who
- 8:01
- these magnificent 7 companies are Nvidia
- 8:04
- you got these Facebooks the Amazon the
- 8:06
- apples these seven companies that are
- 8:08
- preventing the company from country uh
- 8:10
- the market from having a crash then
- 8:13
- while all this stuff is taking place um
- 8:16
- Powell now is dealing with a war he's
- 8:18
- afraid he wants to raise the rates a
- 8:20
- quarter but due to the war that took
- 8:22
- place in Israel he doesn't and then data
- 8:24
- shows which is by far the most
- 8:26
- interesting data to answer your question
- 8:27
- here is how much after these five
- 8:30
- situations where we rais the rates
- 8:32
- multiple times in a span this being the
- 8:35
- shortest uh in the most condensed time
- 8:37
- frame how long does it typically save is
- 8:39
- there a formula of when recession comes
- 8:43
- if at all here's what they realize
- 8:45
- recession usually comes on average 11
- 8:49
- months after the last month they rais
- 8:51
- the rates so what does this mean if
- 8:54
- Powell's no longer going to raise the
- 8:55
- rates and the last time they raised the
- 8:57
- rates was September let's just say that
- 9:01
- means recession is going to come when
- 9:03
- not October so you got October November
- 9:05
- December January February March April
- 9:06
- May June July August August of next year
- 9:10
- three months before election that's if
- 9:13
- it follows the trends of the last five
- 9:16
- times when they raised interest rates so
- 9:19
- how did I start off the story I talked
- 9:21
- about the doctor that has met 4,000
- 9:23
- different patients and the 420 you're
- 9:24
- kind of going through this the problem
- 9:26
- of everything I just told you could be
- 9:29
- completely wrong because there's a fifth
- 9:32
- when the doctor says I've never seen
- 9:33
- this before so we've never seen current
- 9:35
- climate current climate before for us to
- 9:37
- be able to put it and say well according
- 9:40
- to this and according to that we've
- 9:41
- never had this situation before yeah
- 9:43
- that's the thing that makes me really
- 9:45
- tense but there are fundamentals that
- 9:47
- when I look at I think oo like there it
- 9:50
- isn't possible to sustain this so the
- 9:53
- thing that I just keep coming back to is
- 9:54
- debt and interest and when you look at
- 9:58
- the charts that show
- 9:59
- the interest payments and how they're
- 10:01
- going to go up and up and up and even
- 10:03
- people that locked in you know say
- 10:06
- three-year fixed rates at really low
- 10:08
- rates in the corporate Market that all
- 10:10
- goes away in a few years and so you
- 10:12
- start looking at just the absolute
- 10:15
- Behemoth numbers that are going to be
- 10:16
- due to service that money and it becomes
- 10:20
- completely untenable and the bad news is
- 10:22
- it becomes untenable both at the
- 10:24
- individual level where we're more in
- 10:25
- debt than I forget ever or close to it
- 10:28
- but individuals are in psychotic amounts
- 10:31
- of debt corporations are in ridiculous
- 10:34
- amounts of debt and the nation is in a
- 10:36
- ridiculous amount of debt all while
- 10:38
- we've had two major printing events
- 10:42
- since 2008 and so now you really have a
- 10:49
- very unstable market so there's a great
- 10:52
- quotes called Minsky's Financial
- 10:54
- institutional hypothesis instability
- 10:56
- hypothesis excuse me uh and he said when
- 10:58
- an e omy is stable people get optimistic
- 11:01
- when people are optimistic they go into
- 11:03
- debt when they go into debt the economy
- 11:05
- becomes unstable and now that's even
- 11:07
- without the crazy rising in interest
- 11:10
- rates so we have like this for me it
- 11:14
- seems self-evident that there is going
- 11:17
- like that that gravity insists that
- 11:20
- things come back down but they haven't
- 11:22
- yet and so just when I want to get
- 11:25
- bullish and be like hey obviously this
- 11:27
- is all going to come Crashing Down it
- 11:29
- just keeps not and not and not
- 11:33
- um my intuition is that a recession is
- 11:37
- inevitable but the market can remain
- 11:41
- crazy longer than you can remain solvent
- 11:42
- whatever the quote is um why hasn't it
- 11:45
- happened yet and how do you think about
- 11:49
- because obviously you have the you have
- 11:50
- similar concerns that I have only the
- 11:53
- paranoids survive but how do we turn
- 11:55
- paranoia into an action
- 11:57
- plan yeah so everything is right now
- 12:01
- about mapping out different
- 12:03
- possibilities so for example if we're
- 12:04
- right now in a conference room and we
- 12:06
- got bored to write on we would write on
- 12:08
- you and I would write down and we would
- 12:09
- say okay uh World War III takes place
- 12:11
- what do you think of the chances of this
- 12:13
- taking place Ray doio says 50% yes okay
- 12:16
- do a um Jamie Diamond says this is the
- 12:19
- most danger Dangerous times we've had in
- 12:21
- America in decades Okay cool so if World
- 12:24
- War II happens what happens to the
- 12:26
- economy who's going to be the parties
- 12:27
- involved are we going to be involved
- 12:28
- purely through proxy or is there going
- 12:30
- to be attack here then you write down
- 12:32
- the possibilities okay if this happens
- 12:34
- what are you going to do if this happens
- 12:35
- what are you going to do then next what
- 12:37
- happens if unemployment all of a sudden
- 12:38
- goes to 7% 6% what happens if inflation
- 12:42
- goes down what happens if Powell starts
- 12:44
- lowering rates back down to 54% holy
- 12:46
- that's that's going to be crazy
- 12:48
- what Happ so you got to write all of
- 12:50
- these different scenarios down but
- 12:52
- here's a couple things that we have to
- 12:53
- be thinking about and you said which was
- 12:54
- fascinating one so credit card debt
- 12:59
- highest it's ever been you know what's
- 13:01
- the crazi thing about uh uh credit card
- 13:03
- there being being the highest it's ever
- 13:05
- been Tam the average interest rate on
- 13:09
- credit card is the highest it's ever
- 13:11
- been Jesus forget about the debt so
- 13:13
- people are worried about the debt so
- 13:15
- imagine the interest rates in the last 5
- 13:18
- years has gone like this to 23% or the
- 13:20
- average is 23% on credit card you know
- 13:23
- what 23% means that means the debt
- 13:25
- doubles about 2 and a half years that's
- 13:27
- like loone shark number that's loone
- 13:28
- shark three years is your debt is
- 13:29
- doubling right but that's what we got
- 13:30
- right now credit cards okay so our debt
- 13:33
- is
- 13:34
- record-breaking the forgiveness for your
- 13:37
- uh loan uh school loan is gone so now
- 13:39
- you have to start paying for it that's
- 13:41
- $3 $400 a month that people are
- 13:42
- expecting I think October November
- 13:44
- starting then let's set that part aside
- 13:47
- go to the corporations you were talking
- 13:49
- about that are borrowing money this year
- 13:52
- their interest payment on corporation
- 13:55
- that borrowed money is going to end up
- 13:57
- being around $530 billion just interest
- 14:00
- oh my God next year it's going to 730
- 14:03
- next year it's going to 1.1 trillion in
- 14:05
- the next 5 years it's going between 1.3
- 14:07
- to$ 1.5 trillion just on the corporate
- 14:10
- debt that we're talking about by the way
- 14:13
- next part car payment a credit no one's
- 14:16
- affected good credit they're making the
- 14:18
- credit payments on
- 14:19
- time mortgages we're not saying anything
- 14:22
- crazy with people with bad credit not
- 14:23
- making payments we're still good car
- 14:26
- payments and subprime they're seeing a
- 14:28
- spike and defaults where people are not
- 14:31
- making car payments the first sign
- 14:32
- you're seeing on what's taking place no
- 14:34
- problem let's go to the next one that's
- 14:36
- the scariest one us has $33 trillion of
- 14:40
- debt worst that's ever been the highest
- 14:41
- that's ever been no problem what does
- 14:44
- that really mean nobody can really
- 14:45
- figure it out here's what it means of
- 14:47
- the money that we have about 8 trillion
- 14:50
- of it the rates are going to
- 14:53
- re-calibrate and we're going to have to
- 14:55
- have new rates that we going every
- 14:58
- single time the rates go up one point
- 15:01
- just one point for the US government our
- 15:03
- interest payments Tom increases by $320
- 15:08
- billion Jesus so imagine we raise rates
- 15:13
- by three points just interest it's a
- 15:16
- trillion dollar more per year if it's 6%
- 15:21
- $2 trillion more per year that's that
- 15:25
- then last thing that I'll just kind of
- 15:27
- get you to be thinking about
- 15:30
- um so anytime you want to know if the
- 15:34
- economy is back to normal go to
- 15:37
- Vegas Vegas is humming like okay we're
- 15:41
- good and always whenever you go to Vegas
- 15:44
- talk to C drivers and talk to the
- 15:46
- drivers who are doing Uber always ask
- 15:49
- how's conventions doing how are you
- 15:51
- seeing with traffic are you noticing
- 15:53
- things cancelling no this has been crazy
- 15:54
- for us the last three months
- 15:56
- everything's good but if they start
- 15:58
- seeing in a downturn they're typically
- 16:02
- an indicator of what's to come
- 16:04
- Transportation industry we consult for a
- 16:06
- lot of Transportation companies at Bed
- 16:08
- Consulting one of my friends I'm about
- 16:11
- to go meet with them right after
- 16:13
- this they're they're con their
- 16:15
- construction company does very well we
- 16:17
- have these three clients that we have
- 16:19
- who are doing
- 16:20
- Transportation two of them are doing a
- 16:23
- 100 million 80 million a year numbers
- 16:25
- are down 40
- 16:26
- 50% one of them is doing a billion a
- 16:29
- year their revenue is down 70% oh so
- 16:34
- let's actually talk about transport why
- 16:37
- would Transportation be down
- 16:39
- 70% aren't Walmart Amazon companies
- 16:43
- ordering stuff to ship it from here to
- 16:45
- there why would that be lowering what do
- 16:48
- they know that we don't know again these
- 16:50
- are people who have data to Insider
- 16:54
- stuff that we can sit there and say
- 16:55
- these are great indicators when you're
- 16:57
- studying these things on what's going on
- 17:00
- does this mean recession is going to
- 17:01
- come here like I told you earlier when
- 17:04
- we were talking my bigger fear is a
- 17:07
- reverse market crash which Venezuela
- 17:09
- just went
- 17:11
- through which all of a sudden the rates
- 17:16
- get lowered and DOW an S&P goes and DOW
- 17:19
- goes from 33 40 45 50 55 60 just goes
- 17:23
- Voom is that just the dollar losing its
- 17:26
- purchasing power yes exactly that's what
- 17:27
- happens the more we're printed like for
- 17:30
- example a Michael Jordan um card uh
- 17:34
- years ago a bgs 9 a half sold for
- 17:38
- $78,000 I was like oh my God that's
- 17:40
- crazy but then all of a sudden all of
- 17:43
- these boxes kept entering the
- 17:46
- marketplace of 1986 Fleer so guys
- 17:49
- started buying these things and they
- 17:51
- were sending more to get graded at
- 17:53
- Becket and PSA the more they got cards
- 17:56
- graded that $78,000 card bgs s 9 half
- 17:59
- became a $60,000 card $50,000 card
- 18:02
- $40,000 card $30,000 card you can
- 18:05
- probably buy bgs 9 half today for
- 18:06
- $20,000 $25,000 okay so the
- 18:11
- inventory increases the more we print
- 18:13
- money the more you print dollars and
- 18:15
- it's more accessible the less it's value
- 18:17
- the less it's worth so these are some
- 18:19
- things that's going on uh today uh so
- 18:23
- you know like I you sit there you're
- 18:25
- like okay so does this mean guys are not
- 18:27
- going to make a lot of money no no

- 18:30
- trillionaire in the next 24 months cuz
- 18:32
- none of this is going to affect the guys
- 18:33
- at the top none of it this printing
- 18:36
- money every time they print money the
- 18:38
- guys at the top make more money every if
- 18:40
- there's anybody that should be against
- 18:42
- printing money it's low and middle
- 18:44
- income families if there's anybody that
- 18:47
- should be against printing money is them
- 18:49
- if there's anybody that's for printing
- 18:50
- money guess who it is the guys at the
- 18:52
- top why because the poor in Middle
- 18:55
- America can't keep money they spend it
- 18:57
- and when they spend it what do they buy
- 18:59
- a product owned by somebody in the S&P
- 19:03
- 500 or other people who have businesses
- 19:05
- money flows up they can pre keep
- 19:08
- printing money all they want so when low
- 19:10
- and middle income families are like look
- 19:12
- at these guys all they care about is

- kids to school live in a nice place
