The Two BEST Investments *NOW* in THIS Economy.
Overall Thesis
Kevin expects a future economic downturn and a Federal Reserve reluctant to resume quantitative easing to drive Treasury yields and mortgage rates sharply lower. He favors bonds held to maturity, debt reduction, and discounted real estate in supply-constrained markets over the next decade, while retaining some stock exposure during the remaining AI expansion.
Narratives
Kevin argues that a Federal Reserve opposed to money printing creates an unfavorable environment for gold. He expects bonds to outperform gold after the current oil-driven inflationary disruption subsides.
Key Arguments
- He describes the anticipated policy regime as an 'anti-gold Fed'.
- He interprets gold's alleged peak around the selection of Kevin Warsh as consistent with investors anticipating tighter balance-sheet policy.
- He expects bonds to benefit more than gold from a deflationary regime without quantitative easing.
Risks acknowledged
- The current oil-related inflationary crisis must first subside.
- The Federal Reserve could eventually reverse course and resume money printing.
Predictions (1)
CRWVCoreWeaveKevin identifies CoreWeave's financing and balance-sheet sustainability as a potential warning signal for the broader AI investment cycle. He does not make a company-specific stock forecast and still believes the AI expansion has room to continue.
Key Arguments
- AI data center investment depends on continued financing.
- Financial stress among infrastructure providers could disrupt circular financing across the sector.
- He treats data center funding and labor-market conditions as indicators of a possible broader downturn.
Risks acknowledged
- He does not believe the AI bubble is over yet.
- He remains comfortable with some stock exposure.
Kevin expects Treasury buying during a future downturn to push the 10-year yield substantially lower if the Federal Reserve avoids quantitative easing. His bearish yield outlook corresponds to a bullish view of Treasury bond prices and supports his expectation of exceptionally low mortgage rates.
Key Arguments
- He attributes elevated current yields primarily to oil-related inflation and geopolitical disruption.
- He interprets the incoming Federal Reserve leadership and its advisers as opposed to expanding the balance sheet.
- He expects deflation and potentially negative deposit rates to encourage investors to buy Treasuries even at very low yields.
- Lower Treasury yields would transmit to mortgage rates and support selected real estate investments.
- He cites Europe's low-rate experience as a precedent.
Risks acknowledged
- Additional tariffs or shocks could raise yields before the anticipated downturn.
- The Federal Reserve could eventually resume quantitative easing.
- The timing of the next crisis is uncertain.
- Bonds sold before maturity can incur losses.
Hedges & Caveats
- Another tariff policy or external shock could push yields higher before the anticipated downturn.
- Selling long-duration bonds before maturity could realize losses; his preference is for bonds investors can hold to maturity.
- He expects the transition by 2032 but explicitly says he cannot determine its exact timing.
- The Federal Reserve could reverse course and resume money printing, changing his preferred investments.
- Real estate selection matters: he favors underbuilt markets and warns that overbuilt Florida markets are still falling.
- The labor market and the financing sustainability of the AI data center buildout could end the current expansion.
