Meet Kevin“The great suckening might come to an end and the deleveraging might come to an end the beginning of August here, August 3rd. That is short-term bullish, bullish for a bounce, bullish for a recovery, bullish for some of the pain ending mostly in hardware.”
Thesis at the time
MixedKevin argues the market has been depressed by a 'great suckening' of capital via huge corporate raises (Google, SpaceX, Meta) and higher yields, causing a leverage unwind in ETFs and memory stocks. He expects this deleveraging to end around August 3rd, making him short-term bullish on a bounce, while remaining longer-term cautious due to a decaying labor market that markets aren't yet pricing in.
Key arguments
- Massive capital raises (Google $80B, SpaceX $85B, Meta) sucked liquidity out of markets over the past six weeks
- Leveraged ETFs and hedge funds have deleveraged significantly (JPMorgan: hedge funds 50% delevered, leveraged ETFs 75% deleveraged)
- S&P 500 equal-weight index is already at all-time highs, showing the pain is concentrated in hardware/leverage-heavy names
- Labor market is decaying week-over-week, which is a longer-term (2-5 year) risk not yet priced into stocks
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Resumption of Iran conflict adds near-term uncertainty and could disrupt the expected recovery
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Fed decision uncertainty on the day of recording
- Upcoming major tech earnings (Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple) within two days
- Geopolitical risk from Iran tensions resuming
- Leveraged ETF deleveraging creating market volatility
- South Korean memory chip sector concentration risk
- Support levels are being 'respected so far' - not guaranteed to hold
