1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: With the recent crash in markets and the coming election 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: and potential wars, many investors are really scared. They're expecting 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: a big market crash to come any day. 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 2: And of course it's no wonder. 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: We have many economic indicators like the yield curve inversion, 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: we can unemployment, we have us slowing home sales, and 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: they're all showing us that recession is imminent. But while 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: those might be really good indicators of where the economy 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: is going, they're not good at showing where asset prices 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: are going. And the best indicator for that is right 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: now flashing a giant green arrow. 12 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: Well, at least you know what you're looking for. 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: So in this video, I'm going to break down the 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: event that's coming this year in twenty twenty four that's 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: going to have the biggest impact on asset prices, and 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: no it's not the election. Right, I'm going to show 17 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: you the prices. I'm going to show you the levels. 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: I'm going to show you what's expected to happen. But 19 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: we're going to look at the data. We're going to 20 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: look at the facts of other previous cycles like the 21 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: one that's setting up right now. Now, once you see 22 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: this data and you understand its impact on asset prices 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: in markets. They're going to have a completely different view 24 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: than you know, all the talking heads that are pedaling 25 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: their fear for you. 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: So let's go. 27 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: All right, so jumping right in, we are going to 28 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: look at the money. It's always about the money, right, 29 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: So we're going to look at the money. 30 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: And as I talk about all the time, now, liquidity. 31 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: So liquidity. 32 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: When there's more money in the system, more liquid in 33 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: the system, than prices tend to go up. And when 34 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: there's less liquidity, then prices tend to go down. Now 35 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: it's very simple, but it's not. It's not that easy 36 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: to understand all the millions of reasons why pricing can. 37 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Go up or down. 38 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: But let's look at a giant one right now, and 39 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: this is the United States government's piggy bank. Sort of 40 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: like this a little bit different than you have in 41 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: your kid. 42 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: Now. 43 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Of course, the government sort of like a business has 44 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: income right taxes, and they have expenses that they spend, 45 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: and they keep the difference their money. They're piggy bank, 46 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: and they keep it in the bank. Not Wells Fargo, 47 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: JP Morgan, not city bank. They keep it at the 48 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: federal reserve of course, all right, and this is known 49 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: as the TGA or what we called the Treasury General Account. 50 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Right now, a lot of people don't know what the 51 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: TGA is. It's the government's bank acount, okay. And what 52 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: we can see is that there's a lot of money 53 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: sit in that bankcount. But the important piece that we're 54 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: going to break down is how much money is there, 55 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: how has that money been used in the past, what 56 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: have we seen through other types of cycles, and what 57 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: do we expect is going to happen based off of 58 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: the information they've given us and what's historical. Now, I 59 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: do want to just give a quick shout out here 60 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: to Thomas. Thomas writes these great tweet threads over on Twitter, 61 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: and so I've taken some of the charts from his 62 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Twitter thread. We'll link to it down and below in 63 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: the description if you want to read the entire thread 64 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: that he put together is pretty good. But just real quickly, 65 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: you can go on to pretty much anywhere Trading View 66 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: or whatever this is from the FED directly and you 67 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: can look at the Treasury General Account. Now, it did 68 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: get really high in twenty twenty, like everything else did, 69 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: so you can see we sort of have this baseline 70 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: around here. This was this twenty twenty anomaly. Now these 71 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: red arrows that are put on the screen here is 72 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: tax time. This is April of twenty two or twenty one, 73 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: April twenty two, April twenty three. And you can see 74 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: that there's these spikes every year right when we get 75 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: that when the taxes come in. But what we can 76 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: see right now is that this level has pretty much 77 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: been flat lined here, which is sort of rare. You 78 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: can see it's usually pretty volatile, right coming in from 79 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: taxes spending down up, from taxes spinning down, and we've 80 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: had this pretty flat area. There's about seven hundred and 81 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: seventy billion dollars little less than a trillion. We might 82 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: see some of the peaks about seven hundred and seventy 83 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: billion dollars in that. Now, one thing to understand is 84 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: the mechanics of how this works when the treasury TGA. 85 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: When the treasury account is full, cash is out of 86 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: the market. It's on the sidelines. It's dormant, as I said, right, 87 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: So it's like. 88 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: Money in the bank. 89 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: It can be spent whenever they want to spend it, 90 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: but it's not actively incentivizing spending at that time. Now, 91 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: if we will look at the TGA Treasury General account levels, 92 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: we can start to get a sort of better idea 93 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: of where things are now and more importantly, where they 94 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: might go historically. Now, typically you might think that as 95 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: the TGA account is rising, as there's more money piloting 96 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: into that account, that's typically bad for liquidity levels. So 97 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: you know tax time, as I showed you how it 98 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: starts to spike around tax time, well, it has to 99 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: go from my account, my personal account, business acount, or 100 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: yours to the government. And that means that I now 101 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: have less money to invest into my business or to 102 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: spend for my family or whatever it is. And so 103 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: that money is being sucked out of the economy and 104 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: it's going. 105 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: To the government. 106 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: I like to stay that the government cannot give something 107 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: that it has not taken. The government doesn't create, All 108 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: it does is redistribute. So it's literally taking it away 109 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: from you and I productive members of society, and it 110 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: goes into their account. So that is typically bad. It's 111 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: sucking liquidity out. When we see TGA is draining, then 112 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: that is good for liquidity. That means that now the 113 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: TGA that the government is now pushing the money back 114 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: onto main street. Because remember the government redistributes, They take 115 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: it from me and you, from my business, and then they. 116 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: Give it to whoever they want. 117 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: So they're taking it, sucking out, giving it back, pushing 118 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: it back. 119 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: So that would be good, good for liquidity anyway. 120 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: All right, Now, what we can see is the TGA. 121 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: The government estimates where they expect their bank account levels 122 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: to be. So they said that by the end of 123 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: Q three, twenty twenty four, they expect it to have 124 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: about eight hundred and fifty billion, which is about seven 125 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy billion right now. So they expect the 126 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: TGA to go up between now and the end of 127 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: Q three, which is pretty interesting because we don't have 128 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: any you know, big tax dates coming up, and they 129 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: expect by the end of Q four, so by the 130 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: end of this year to be at about seven hundred billion, 131 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: which is a little bit lower than we're ride today. Now, 132 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: this estimate is completely wrong, just like every other estimate 133 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: that the government puts out. The Treasury also puts out 134 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: their borrowing requirements every quarter, and yeah, they're wrong, every 135 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: single one. They have to go back and revise them 136 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: when no one's paying attention all the economic gated the 137 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: BLS puts out, it's always wrong. They go back and 138 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: revise that, and these numbers are way off, and we're 139 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: going to take a look at that and why that's important. Now, 140 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: just to kind of put this into perspective with a 141 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: chart that you can see again, this goes back to 142 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the t TG account and so we're right here at 143 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: this blue dot, and they're expecting that the end of 144 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Q three we're here a little bit higher, and by 145 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Q four we're here a little bit lower. So we're 146 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: going to stay right in this range. Apparently according to them. 147 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: Now you can just look back here, that has not 148 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: been the case. We have not been in a range 149 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: at all that long. But that's where they say we're 150 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: at now. To get an idea of how this works, 151 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: the TGA account works, let's just break this down. This 152 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: is from macro alf and he says, right here, why 153 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: does draining the TGA matter that much for markets and 154 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: the US economy. So when the TGA is high, it's 155 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: bad for markets. When the TJA is low or drained, 156 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: it's good. So why why does it matter for markets 157 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: to the economy? And he says, because draining the TGA, 158 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: taking the money and pushing it back into the market 159 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: is akin to throwing fresh money at the economy. Just 160 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: dumping money into the economy, similar to deficit spending, which 161 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: we've been doing a lot of that as well. So 162 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: definicis spending as well as TGA spending, and also adding 163 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: new liquidity to the interbank system similar. 164 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: To QE or quantitative easing. 165 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: So this whole time, no, we're tightening, we're tightening. No 166 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: quantitative easing. Well maybe technically, but there's lots of ways 167 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: that we get liquidity into the system. 168 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: So how does it work. 169 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Well, he goes on to say, is sort of like 170 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: this one two punch. So step one is the government 171 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: drains down its tg at the FEDS right now seven 172 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy billion, they could drain that money down, 173 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: hence lowering its equity position, but then injecting this fresh 174 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: new money into the real economy, like this is the 175 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: most inflationary could be. You know, analysts will argue that 176 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: QI isn't really inflationary because it doesn't really get money 177 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: into the actual market, or I'm sorry to the economy. 178 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: QWI just gives money to the banks, but the maanks 179 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: don't necessarily put it into the economy. 180 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: Supposedly. 181 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: There's a whole nother topic for another video, but here 182 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: it's literally injecting this fresh money directly into the economy. 183 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: That's what the government does. 184 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: The economy equals households net worth goes up. Household net 185 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: worth goes up, people have more money to spend. 186 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: Step number two. 187 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: Households now have more money that's good in the form 188 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: of bank deposits, which end up back into the banking system. 189 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: So if you get money, where do you put it? 190 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Of course, you put it into the bank, and hence 191 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: banks also sit on a larger amount of reserves. So 192 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: now the banks take the deposits, they have more reserves. 193 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: What do banks do when they have more reserves, Well, 194 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: how they're able to loan out even more money, which 195 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: means even. 196 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 2: More liquidity in the system. 197 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: The Fed's balance sheet squares with less TGA perfectly offset 198 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: by a. 199 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: Higher amount of reserves. 200 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: So now you can see how powerful this monetary mechanic 201 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: combination is. So when they drain the TGA, it's literally 202 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: throwing money directly into it. But they're saying that they're 203 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: not going to drain it they're saying, by the it's 204 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: actually going to go up and by the end of 205 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: the year is going to be. 206 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: About even That's what they say. 207 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: But should we take them at their word or should 208 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: we understand this a little bit more. I just saw 209 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: the markets going to a tailspin and panic when Japan 210 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: raised rates and this thing called a carry trade started 211 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: to unwind. Now it doesn't really matter about that, but 212 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: what we did see was brokerage accounts were frozen. We 213 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: saw people unable to withdraw their bitcoin from their exchanges. 214 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Now that was a warning, but the reality of that 215 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: happening is real, and so don't trust your bitcoin on 216 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: an exchange. Secure it yourself, secure it properly. Now. I 217 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: know it can seem overwhelming, but if you use a 218 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: device like this, it can be very easy. This is 219 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: a treasure hardware device, and basically what this does is 220 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: keeps your private key secure and when you want to 221 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: use it, you plug it into your computer.

There's a link down below. 234 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so if we take the historical view now, I 235 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: want to go back in history to understand where we're 236 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: going in the future. 237 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 2: But I do want to just let you know I 238 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: don't really care about. 239 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: The end of Q three. I don't really care about 240 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: the end of Q four. Typically I'm looking at least 241 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: a year out. Most of my stuff, I'm looking three, 242 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: five or ten years out. But let's just take a 243 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: look at where we'll be in twenty twenty five, all right. 244 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: So that's sort of what I've been talking about a 245 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: lot with my qwave thesis. This quantitative leap that we're 246 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: taking forward right now is really through the end of 247 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So right now we're looking at that, 248 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: and if we want to know we're in twenty twenty five, 249 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: we have to see, well, what's going to happen before. 250 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: We get there. 251 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: And there's a really big event coming up that you 252 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: might have heard of before, and this is the debt 253 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: ceiling showdown. The government gets together and says we need 254 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: more debt. Of course we do, because we can't afford 255 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: the debt we have, so we need more debt. President 256 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: Biden was on the news saying, well, we need to 257 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: have more debt because the US has never defaulted, and 258 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: if we don't get more debt, how do we pay 259 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: the old debt? Sort of like the definition of a 260 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme. So the debt ceiling showdown comes and they 261 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: argue over if we're going to raise it or not. 262 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: Both sides grandstand about not wanting to spend more. There's 263 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: some concessions made, and every single time it's been raised 264 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: now there has been sometimes where it's gotten very close. 265 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: We've seen some credit downgrades because of this. But this 266 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: is basically what happens. And in this event, it almost 267 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: always seems to happen, and it probably happened this year 268 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: before the election, is that they can't come to an agreement, 269 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: and so what happens is without passing an agreement, then 270 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: there's no more debt. Available to no more funding develop 271 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: for the government. So what happens in that event, Well, 272 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: don't worry. The government has a piggy bang called the TDA. 273 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: During that time, they will do what they. 274 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Call extraordinary measures, and they'll use the government bank account, 275 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: the TGA to actually fund that gap where they can't 276 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: get the debt ceiling. This happens most of the time. 277 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: Now we can see this in this chart right here. 278 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: Here's the TGA account again, and what we have right 279 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: here in this first dotted line is where the debt 280 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: ceiling showdown begins. 281 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: This is where they start fighting, and. 282 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: We can see they start spending down the tgaccount down, down, down, 283 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: down down right here, this line right here is where 284 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: an agreement is finally reached. Now this timeframe is about 285 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty days. Now we fast forward, the 286 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: TJA gets replenished, kind of has this sideways action, and 287 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: this dotted line right here is where they start fighting 288 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: about the debt ceiling again. 289 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 2: We're not going to raise it, we need to raise it, etc. 290 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: And then they start spending down the TGA until they 291 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: finally make a deal right here, about another one hundred 292 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: and forty days. 293 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: Now, it went. 294 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: Up here, it goes up, it starts walking sideways, and 295 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: this dotted line right here is guess what where the 296 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: next debt ceiling showdown is going to begin. Now, what's 297 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: interesting is this is January twenty twenty five. Now they 298 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: predict that the TG will be higher by the end 299 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: of the year, so maybe it'll be somewhere in this range. 300 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: But when the debt ceiling debate or starts happening, what 301 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: do you think happens based off of this? 302 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: Most likely it starts trending down. Let me show you 303 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: another chart. This is a little bit different historical lens. 304 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: Again thanks to Thomas, I'm stealing his charts. 305 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 2: We got this off of Twitter. I'm going to link 306 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: to his. 307 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: Full thread down below. What we can see here is 308 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: when this happened. You can see it dropping right here, 309 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: and each time we got to about. 310 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: One hundred billion, same level. 311 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: So it's important to understand what happened in the mechanics 312 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: right here. 313 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: But it's also important to. 314 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: Understand the sort of empty level that they draw down to, 315 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: because if we want to know where we end up here, 316 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: what level will we be at? 317 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 2: About one hundred billion? 318 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Now one hundred billion, how much did they say, would 319 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: be in there by the end of the year. 320 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: Now we can do some math, all right. 321 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: Now, I also want to show you for historical purposes 322 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: that this is where the government said we would end up. 323 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: So again we have these dotted lines where the debt 324 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: ceiling debate started. 325 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Here's where up. 326 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: Now what's important is this is where we ended up. However, 327 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: what the Treasury had forecasted. 328 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: Where we'd end up was right here. 329 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Same thing here we get to hear they forecast we 330 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: would be here, but we ended up down here. Now 331 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: they're forecasting we're going to be here. 332 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: But where do you think we're going to be? 333 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: Well, if history is our guide, we're going to be 334 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: right here in this range. 335 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: The same thing. Now, why does all this matter? 336 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: Well, it matters because we need to figure out where 337 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: we're going in the form of liquidity. And the first 338 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: thing we have to kind of figure out is where 339 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: do we go? What are the lawmakers going to do? 340 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: Now we have to remember, as I said, take into 341 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: a consideration that we're also in an election here, So 342 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: this is going to make this even more volatile, meaning, 343 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, is it going to be Republicans or Democrats 344 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: are going to take over the presidency, who's going to 345 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: retain the Senate of the House. 346 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: I would imagine there's going to be even. 347 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: More grand standing than we normally see, fighting over budgets, 348 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: different parts of the budgets. 349 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: And so if anything, this could. 350 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Probably exacerbate the situation. It could probably make the Treasury 351 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: fund it for longer than they typically have, And if so, 352 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: then they will have to continue to inject the money. 353 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: So the question is how much will they have to inject. 354 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: We know that they're here, now, we know that they 355 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: say they might build it up a little bit, and 356 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: the question is how far will they drain it down? 357 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: Well, back to the math. 358 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: If we're typically down to about one hundred billion each time, 359 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: and we have about eight hundred billion, eight hundred and 360 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: fifty billion, they draw it down to one hundred, that 361 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: means there's about seven hundred and fifty billion that could 362 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: get injected directly into the economy for you and I 363 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: to spend. 364 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: So what does that mean, Well, if. 365 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: We have seven hundred and fifty billion injected, not into 366 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: the banks like QE, I'm talking about being injected directly 367 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: into the economy, directly into stimulus, into building programs, into 368 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: more welfare things like that. It goes directly to the economy. Now, 369 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: to put this into perspective, just to kind of normalize ourselves, 370 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: because these numbers get so out of whack. In two 371 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, during the Great Financial Crash, where the 372 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: entire global financial system, not just do US, global finance 373 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: system was melting down. At the same time, the FED 374 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: stepped into action to save the world. And at the 375 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: time it was seven hundred billion that was spent in 376 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: this tart program to do that seven hundred billion. This 377 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: is more than that, and it is most likely coming our 378 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: way in the next couple of months. So again, what 379 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: happens if we see this it takes about, as we 380 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: saw history, is about one hundred and forty day process 381 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: of shoveling this money in seven hundred and fifty going 382 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: directly to main street. What do you think is going 383 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: to happen? Well, I put some arrows here. This is 384 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: asset prices. Now, look, this is good and bad. Right, 385 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the economy is going to be fixed 386 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: by this. Now, a lot of people that are losing 387 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: their jobs, a lot of businesses that might suffer, they're 388 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: going to get some help, right, they'll get stimulus that 389 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: will be coming their way, so it's good for them overall. 390 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: It's bad for the economy. 391 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: But for asset prices, coin, tech stocks, real estate, I 392 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: expect all this to go back up. Now, not everything 393 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: moves up at the same time, and we do have 394 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: to keep in mind that as more money is created, 395 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: and as more money is injecting the system, it just 396 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: diminishes the purchasing power of those dollars. So just because 397 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: assets are going up doesn't necessarily mean you're getting richer. So, 398 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: for example, as I break this down in the Investing 399 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: black Hole, the S and P five hundred is basically 400 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: just keeping your. 401 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: Nose above water, just barely. 402 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: But there's certain assets that will go up one times, 403 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: five times, nine times what this liquidity will do. I 404 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: broke it all down to this other video called the 405 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: investing black Hole. I'm not going to go through it 406 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: right now, but if you want to watch the investing 407 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: black Hole video, I'm going to put it. 408 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 2: Right up here for you. 409 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: Go watch that video, because it's really the only place 410 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: that you should be investing. But this is what I'm expecting. 411 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: I'm expecting a massive liquidity increase, so don't get tricked, 412 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: don't get faked out over the next month or two, 413 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: the next quarter, two, keep your eye on the next 414 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, nine months to twelve months, because it's 415 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: going to be a wild ride. Let me know what 416 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: you think about this video in the comments down below. 417 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: Of course, that's always give me thumbs up if you 418 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: like it. If you don't give me a thumbs down, 419 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: that's okay either way. At least tell me what you 420 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: think of the comments.
