“I'm still sitting at uh, a 7.1 out of 10 on the Bearbull scale.”
Thesis at the time
MixedKevin remains cautiously bullish near-term on his personal 'Bear/Bull scale' at 7.1/10, citing continued economic spending and earnings growth, but warns of a longer-term bubble risk building from high rates, high oil prices, and AI spending excess. He believes the Fed will eventually be forced to print money once a recessionary/deflationary environment sets in.
Key arguments
- GDP growth sitting over 4% in Q3, expected to average over 2%
- Fed and Treasury likely to avoid tightening in the near term
- Combination of AI bubble, high rates, and high oil prices could lead to a long-term bubble pop
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Labor market slowdown or consumer spending slowdown could create larger risks a year out
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Conflicting reports between US military (CENTCOM) and Iranian sources regarding mine incidents
- Uncertainty about whether threatened strikes will actually occur
- Distinction made between Trump's rhetoric and actual military action
- Acknowledgment of both US and Iranian propaganda narratives
