IT'S STARTING.
Overall Thesis
Kevin advocates buying the dip following the Democratic election sweep, citing resilient employment, expanding business activity, supportive consumer spending and housing policies. He rejects fears of a sustained data-center investment slowdown and sees conditional investment value in a Tesla–SpaceX combination.
Narratives
TSLATeslaKevin considers Tesla overvalued alone but an attractive conditional purchase if SpaceX acquires it at a premium. He argues that the combined businesses would be reasonably valued and that political resistance will relocate data-center construction rather than prevent it.
Key Arguments
- SpaceX would probably pay a premium for Tesla in an acquisition.
- The combined entity would be decently priced.
- Data centers can be built in Louisiana or other locations if Texas presents obstacles.
Risks acknowledged
- Tesla's standalone valuation is excessive.
- The acquisition is uncertain.
- Substantial borrowing would be necessary for data-center construction.
Predictions (1)
SPCXSpaceXKevin endorses the investment value of Tesla and SpaceX together if the acquisition proceeds. His preference for Tesla reflects the anticipated acquisition premium rather than an expectation that SpaceX shares will fall.
Key Arguments
- The combined valuation is described as a good deal.
- Data-center investment is expected to continue despite changes in construction locations.
Risks acknowledged
- The acquisition remains uncertain.
- SpaceX may pay the premium for Tesla.
- The businesses would need considerable debt to finance data centers.
Predictions (1)
Kevin uses Super Micro Computer's commentary to support his view that the data-center buildout is expanding globally. He calls hardware broadly a bargain, but does not clearly state a separate buy recommendation or price forecast for SMCI shares.
Key Arguments
- Customers are expanding data-center investment into Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
- Political restrictions are expected to relocate capital spending rather than reduce it.
- The international data-center boom is described as just beginning.
Risks acknowledged
- One large data-center customer accounted for 44% of quarterly revenue.
- Political opposition could affect where facilities are built.
Kevin cites historical post-midterm S&P 500 returns as support for his broad buy-the-dip stance. The 13.9% six-month figure is presented as a historical average rather than an explicit forecast for this cycle.
Key Arguments
- He reports consistently positive six- and twelve-month post-midterm market outcomes since 1950.
- He cites a historical average six-month S&P 500 gain of 13.9%.
- Employment and business activity data support his optimistic macroeconomic view.
Risks acknowledged
- The first three months after midterms can be volatile.
- Lower-income renters are experiencing financial stress.
- Prices continue to rise despite some moderation.
Kevin references strong historical Nasdaq-100 performance following midterms to reinforce his optimistic market commentary. He does not explicitly forecast a Nasdaq-100 return or recommend a specific index position.
Key Arguments
- He cites an average post-midterm Nasdaq-100 move exceeding 30%.
- He attributes pre-election weakness partly to investor uncertainty.
Risks acknowledged
- Early post-midterm performance can be volatile.
- The cited return is historical rather than a guaranteed future outcome.
Kevin notes that Brent has fallen toward $100 per barrel and interprets the decline as evidence of markets pricing in an eventual Iran deal. His discussion of future oil declines refers to oil generally, without a distinct forward Brent price call.
Key Arguments
- Brent is described as nearly below $100, approximately $16 below its recent high.
- An eventual Iran deal could reduce oil prices and support housing and consumer activity.
Risks acknowledged
- The election reduced the immediate incentive to reach an Iran deal.
- He expects stronger congressional pressure only after the next session begins in January.
Hedges & Caveats
- The first three months following midterms can be volatile; historical index returns are not explicit numerical forecasts.
- Tesla is overvalued on a standalone basis, and the proposed SpaceX acquisition may not happen.
- Tesla and SpaceX would need substantial borrowing to build data centers.
- Super Micro Computer has customer concentration risk, with one customer representing 44% of quarterly revenue.
- An Iran deal could take longer following the election.
- Lower-income renters are struggling despite favorable aggregate economic indicators.
- Housing recommendations carry no guarantees, and affordable properties can have restrictive deed provisions.
