Today’s Heat Map👇

Wednesday February 12, 2025 RECAP👇

• Inflation data came in a little hot today!

• Inflation controls interest rates, & that is BIG for stocks.

• More on all of this below.

Fear & Greed Index For Today👇

• 44 Today & 47 Yesterday.

• I feel that we are closer to 60 vs what this says.

• Market was essentially flat today, so not much action here.

• Market Fearful = Potential Opportunity/Deals

• Market Greedy = Potential Over Valuation.

  

Today’s Economic Updates👇

• 30 year fixed mortgage rate climbs to 7.09% Today vs 6.97% Yesterday.

• 10 year treasury bond yield climbs to 4.62% Today, vs 4.53% Yesterday.

• 2 year treasury bond yield climbs to 4.35% Today, vs 4.29% Yesterday.

CPI INFLATION DATA DROPPED TODAY👇

• CPI inflation just popped +0.5% in one month, the largest increase since August 2023. Expectations were 0.3% MoM.

• YoY CPI expected at 2.9% but came in at 3%.

• Bumpy! But we will be ok! Volatility is ok.

• The key is to capitalize on the volatility!

This Can Crash Stocks👇

Money always wants to find the best risk adjusted return. The 2 big dog investments are stocks & bonds. Let’s break down why this matters so much to the stock market & why trouble can be on the horizon!

Stocks vs Bonds👇

• Stocks: Considered to be the “risky” investment and averages about 10-12% annually.

• Bonds: Considered to be the “risk free” investment and averages about 4.7% right now for the 10 year bond.

Why Does This Matter?👇

• I have said this a million times, interest rates are like gravity on the stock market.

• So why am I talking about this today?

• Cause inflation came in a little hot, and the federal reserve will most likely keep interest rates higher for longer to slow down the economy and bring inflation down.

• This can be bad for stocks because bonds become more attractive as the “risk free” investment with a higher yield.

• Think about it, if stocks are expected to do 10% a year and lets say for the sake of the example that bonds were at 10% too, what one would you pick?

• Most would choose the bond cause it is guaranteed.

• Stocks are not.

• Right now, the bond yield is about 4.7%

• So as bond yields climb, more investors are going to justify putting their money in a bond vs the “risky” stock market.

• This all comes back to inflation…

• If inflation is high, the fed will signal they are going to keep rates higher for longer and that pushes up bond yields… (bad for stocks)

My Thoughts👇

• Let’s look at the chart below that projects what interest rates will be at in a given time.

• So on the chart above, I selected the December 10, 2025 fed meeting to see what rates are expected to be at.

• Right now we are in the range of 4.25% - 4.5%.

• The bar on the right side shows that there is a 28% chance we are at that same range in December of this year!

• So 28% chance of NO cuts…

• The bar next to it shows there is a 40% chance we get 1 cut of 25bps (0.25%)

• The stock market now has to price this in, so expect volatility.

So How Would Markets Crash👇

• Well, if inflation continues to trend higher, the fed might even RAISE interest rates!

• Let me show 2 charts to show stock market valuations and interest rates.

• Ok let’s make this ultra simple.

• Look at the PE ratio chart in 1980.

• See how the PE is super low.

• Now look at the interest rates in 1980.

• See how rates are high!

• So high rates = low stock market valuations (low PEs)

• Notice how rates have been getting cut since 1980 and PEs have slowly trended higher?

• Lower rates = Higher stock market valuations (higher PEs)

So What Do We Do👇

• There is lots of opportunity out there in the market, but there also is a lot of companies that are VERY expensive with respect to fundamentals.

• I made a few big plays this month so far and generated about $56,000 in options premium.

• Yes $56k in a month for the plays I just opened up.

• I get this credit to my account IMMEDIATELY!

• There is opportunity out there, but you gotta be careful.

• The key is learning how to value a company, how to spot opportunities, when to get in, when to get out, how to manage risk, and how to win consistently.

Current Thoughts In My Head👇

• Day to day stock price changes don’t matter.

• Be an investor, zoom out, and be patient.

• Day to day movements don’t matter

• The market feels a bit stretched—probably about 5-10% above intrinsic value.

• Trump seems committed to keeping the economy strong and driving inflation down, which could provide stability if it actually pans out.

• BUT, he also loves tariffs & the market does not…

• Earnings have been solid so far, which is exactly what’s needed to justify current stock valuations.

• I’m not calling this a bubble, but things are a little expensive.

• As always, be prepared for any scenario.

👇Portfolio Thoughts

• Amazing growth from 2018 to Current all off of a total contribution of $90,000.

• That is over a 10x in 7 years!

• I did this in a very low risk and conservative way.

• I feel the market is a little stretched & volatility is healthy and normal!

• If bond yields continue to climb, I expect pain in the markets to continue.

• I will continue to find great investments / options plays that will pan out to explode the portfolio in the long run.

• Month to month and even year to year volatility is irrelevant.

• I see volatility as opportunity!

• My goal is $5,000,000 in this account by 2030.

• I see this as very achievable and if the market dips further, I will capitalize heavily, just like I did in 2022!

• Stay the course and keep your emotions in check!
