hi this Erin ku here on the 10th of

0:02

April Good Friday and I've got pretty

0:04

tragic news there's been a death with

0:07

someone that we all know intimately

0:09

really well and the death is the bad

0:12

that's right the bad market is

0:14

officially dead but the good news is the

0:17

bull market is back so let's take a look

0:20

at a chance to really understand what's

0:22

going on

0:23

all right so over here we have the S&P

0:25

500 index and a bull market is defined

0:28

as a drop 20% or more from the higher

0:31

the market so the high of the market at

0:33

the beginning of the year was 3 3 9 3

0:35

and we dropped into a bear market over

0:39

here this is the 20% mark so he went

0:43

from the top of the market or bear

0:45

market and it took 16 days it was off

0:48

the fastest in history for Bhumika to

0:51

turn into a bear market and he went in

0:53

fact all the way down to a lot to 191

0:56

and that was a 36 percent decline from

1:00

the high and as I mentioned before if

1:03

you look at all the bear markets in the

1:05

last 100 years the average decline of

1:08

the 21 bear markets in last hundred

1:11

years was actually - 36 percent so it

1:14

was pretty coincidental ok now a bull

1:18

market is defined as a rise of 20% from

1:22

the law of the market so from this low

1:25

of 2 on line 1 if you take 20% it's 2 6

1:31

3 0 this is the 20% increase from the

1:36

mode so you can see that the market has

1:38

just crossed that level which means

1:40

officially a booming market has begun

1:43

and then by a bear market lasted only 90

1:47

days it was one of the fastest bear

1:49

markets in the history of the world in

1:53

fact I turn bullish on the markets way

1:56

before that happen in fact I went

1:59

bullish on the markets and started to

2:01

buy stocks and take on bullish trades

2:04

over here on the 3rd of April

2:07

why because I saw

2:09

bullish engulfing pattern making higher

2:12

low from the previous low so when I see

2:15

higher loss and see a bullish engulfing

2:17

pattern I turn bullish in the markets

2:19

and for my students I'm buying stocks

2:21

right now in fact if you take a look at

2:24

my private telegram chat group with my

2:26

students this was back on the 3rd of

2:29

April as you can see over there right

2:32

and my message to my students was yes

2:34

the bullish engulfing pattern on the

2:36

espy sentiment has turned bullish I'm

2:39

starting to buy stocks right now

2:42

now many people were surprised that the

2:44

bear mark and the sofa they said how to

2:46

the bear market and the economy still in

2:49

tatters right people are still dying

2:51

people losing jobs how can this be I was

2:55

not surprised because if you are one of

2:57

my students you have seen the signal

2:59

that the market has actually hit a bear

3:02

market bottom the signal that the bear

3:04

market was dead and I can share view

3:06

what are these signals that I look at so

3:08

for future bear markets you can look at

3:10

these signals yourself so what are the

3:13

30 warning signs that the bear market

3:15

comes to an end so what are the early

3:19

warning signs of a bear market ending

3:21

well therefore things have looked at for

3:23

the last 20 years and they've proven

3:26

very reliable even for today's bear

3:28

market so what are the four things the

3:30

first thing is I noticed that bear

3:32

markets that the bottom when one with

3:35

extreme volatility as well as extreme

3:38

oversold conditions I'm gonna show that

3:41

to you in a chinois what that means

3:42

right number two is when we have got

3:45

peak levels of unemployment that's right

3:48

you heard me right when unemployment

3:49

hits a peak usually it signals the end

3:52

of the bear market next when the market

3:56

rallies in the face of bad news and the

4:00

fourth thing I look at is when the S&P

4:02

500 didn't yield exceeds the yield on

4:06

the third year Treasury bonds these are

4:09

the four leading indicators but bear

4:11

market bottom so let's look at the first

4:13

one right now one of the most powerful

4:15

signals that the bear market is born is

4:18

when I see

4:19

stream volatility and this is measured

4:22

using ATR Average True Range when you've

4:25

got big 80 hours it signals a bear

4:29

market bottom if it coincides with

4:31

extreme all the sub conditions now I

4:34

have actually taught this in my previous

4:35

video which you must watch where I show

4:39

you basically the last 50 years how

4:43

accurate this signal has been so I will

4:46

get to indicate this if you remember to

4:48

my previous video do watch it I look at

4:51

what is known as the normalized ATR or

4:55

Average True Range as well as the

4:57

Williams percentage are that measures

5:00

other soul conditions at the 52-week

5:04

level alright so basically what am I

5:07

looking at when the ATR is above 80

5:12

right this that 80 level is dotted line

5:15

and if the Williams R is below minus 80

5:20

and they both happen at the same time is

5:23

the signal of a market bottom and they

5:26

must both happen in the same time right

5:27

so you can see over here this ATR

5:31

crosses above 80 and the Williams R goes

5:35

below minus 80 right so when they both

5:38

happen that signals the bottom over

5:40

there that's how I could tell now if you

5:42

go back again 50 years this signal has

5:45

been very reliable I've shown that my

5:47

previous video to watch that can see

5:49

last year we had a 2018 bottom same

5:52

thing we lives are below minus 80

5:55

coincided with ATR above 80 so when I

5:59

think are the two signals together boom

6:01

that's a bottom that's a bottom right

6:04

and again can go back so that was the

6:07

first sign of the market bottom now the

6:10

second sign of a bear market bottom is

6:13

when unemployment in the US hits peak

6:17

levels that's right you heard me right

6:19

when you've got massive unemployment

6:21

people out of jobs that's the time the

6:23

market has bottomed and there's the time

6:25

to buy stocks and it's us be content

6:27

uted people always think hey I should

6:30

buy stocks when they

6:31

are going well when people are fully

6:33

employed wrong the time to buy stocks is

6:37

at the bottom and death - massive

6:39

unemployment say if you look at this

6:41

chart over here and you see what I'm

6:43

talking about now over here you can see

6:46

this blue line this represents the stock

6:49

market the spot price okay that's the

6:51

blue line going up this black line going

6:55

up and down represents unemployment

6:58

claims or jobless claim benefits okay

7:01

now check something out notice that when

7:04

unemployment claims go up and is walk

7:06

back unemployed right like over here you

7:09

can see this is the four hundred and

7:11

fifty thousand mark of people who are

7:15

unemployed okay

7:16

and notice whenever the unemployment

7:19

goes above this level it signals a

7:23

bottom in the stock market the market

7:25

bottoms that's when you buy to catch the

7:27

next blue market can you see that over

7:29

here same thing when unemployment goes

7:31

up above this mark over here it signals

7:35

the end of the stock market bottom and

7:38

time to buy to catch the next boom

7:40

market right over here the same thing

7:43

note this over here again you can see

7:46

unemployment going up to 450 thousand

7:49

that signals the bottom of the bull

7:51

markets or the bear market to buy to

7:53

questionings bull market right

7:54

it sounds weird but that's how it works

7:56

so where are we now in terms of the

8:00

unemployment claims in the market well

8:02

check it out

8:03

currently right the US jobless claims

8:08

have hit six point six million six point

8:11

six million people are out of a job now

8:12

that is terrible that is really really

8:15

awful I wish that it did not happen but

8:18

the point is from the perspective of

8:21

investing that's when it's time to buy

8:25

stocks because it tells us that when

8:27

unemployment like look at this whenever

8:29

unemployment really flies really high

8:32

right it climbs really high amongst the

8:35

bottom of the bear market okay now the

8:39

next chart shows you the same thing you

8:41

can see over here

8:42

this red line represents the stock

8:45

market okay and the blue line represents

8:48

the unemployment rate how many people

8:51

are unemployed in the u.s. now look at

8:54

the 6% ma notice whenever the

8:58

unemployment rate goes above 6% what

9:01

happens market bottom time to buy right

9:04

goes above 6% market bottom right ghost

9:08

above 6% game market bottom goes above

9:12

6% again market bottom above 6 the same

9:15

market bottom so we're in the

9:16

unemployment rate goes above 60% 6%

9:20

right is the ball of the market come to

9:23

buy stocks to catch the bull market now

9:25

where's the unemployment rate right now

9:27

it is now at a whopping my god 14%

9:31

I am unemployment rate in the u.s. right

9:33

now there's no people unemployed

9:35

so that is the highest spike in

9:38

unemployment that again reverses to

9:41

muddy bottom of the stock market which I

9:45

always counted you did buy that's how

9:47

the market works all right so far we

9:50

have the first 2 signals right extreme

9:53

volatility extreme initial conditions

9:55

we've got peak levels of unemployment

9:57

and the third signal is the market

10:01

bottoms when it starts rarely on bad

10:04

news that's right see bear markets die

10:07

on bad news not on good news in other

10:11

words whenever you see a lot of bad news

10:12

in the media but the market no longer

10:15

goes down it starts going up it tells

10:18

you that the market is falling because

10:21

there are no more sellers left everyone

10:23

who has needed to sell has already sold

10:26

and that's a sign of capitulation so for

10:29

example take a look at this this was

10:32

back on the 5th of April and yeah this

10:36

was the 5th and 6th of April look at the

10:39

news in the media us reports highest

10:42

single day death since the outbreak so

10:46

that's terrible news but what happens

10:48

the market goes up us we leave jobless

10:51

claims double to 6

10:53

six million people bad news market goes

10:56

up so when the market starts going up on

10:58

bad news it means it's over

11:01

right nothing else can make the market

11:03

go down because the worst news has been

11:05

priced into the market fourth condition

11:08

I'm looking at is when the SMP 500

11:11

dividend yield exceeds the yield of 30th

11:15

Treasury bonds

11:16

you see historically when you buy

11:19

government bonds they are safer so they

11:22

should give you higher yields on

11:24

interest interest rate yields higher

11:26

than a stock market which is the S&P 500

11:28

that should happen logically right now

11:32

whenever the S&P 500 the stock market

11:35

gives you higher dividend yields

11:36

compared to bond yields that signals

11:40

that a market is bothered because that

11:42

means that stocks are cheaper than bonds

11:45

stocks are under them and bonds are over

11:48

them so this triggers a flow of funds

11:51

from big institutions from bonds to

11:54

stops hence creating the next bull

11:56

market so we take take a look at this

11:59

chart you can see from 1977 to 2019

12:03

there's only been two times when the

12:09

30th Treasury year which is the red line

12:11

has gone below the S&P 500 dividend

12:16

yield it happened here at the bottom of

12:18

the financial crisis that triggered the

12:21

bull run after the financial crisis and

12:24

it also happened briefly during the

12:26

breads in you know when breaks it was

12:28

announced and now it is happening again

12:31

let's check it out you can see right now

12:33

that the u.s. 30th Treasury rate is one

12:39

point three five percent so by third

12:41

year government bonds you're getting one

12:44

point three five percent return on your

12:46

money but the SMP 500 is offering a

12:50

yield of two point three one percent so

12:52

this exceeds this signals that spots are

12:57

really cheap they are the border and the

13:01

triggering the next boom market easy as

13:03

pie

13:04

now whenever I tell people that the

13:07

stock markets in a new bull market you

13:09

know a lot of people say how can it be

13:10

the economy is in a recession or going

13:14

into recession or going to in fact the

13:16

depression where it's gonna be more job

13:18

losses more business losses things are

13:21

gonna get worse

13:22

you know what I completely agree the

13:24

economy is going to get worse we are

13:26

going to go into a depression I agree

13:29

that but understand that the stock

13:32

market is not the economy that's the

13:35

mistake people make see the stock market

13:37

is a leading indicator of the economy

13:39

the stock market moves six to nine

13:43

months ahead of the economy because the

13:46

stock market doesn't care what's

13:47

happening now or what's happening next

13:49

week or next month the stock market

13:51

cares was happening in six to nine

13:53

months so even though we're in a

13:56

recession right now but the stock market

13:58

is already pricing in the recovery take

14:02

a look at is really nice chart by sense

14:04

- well and you can see for example this

14:08

red line represents the stock market

14:10

right so that's the one in red the one

14:13

in green represents the economy so you

14:16

can see that when the stock market is at

14:19

the bottom right the markets that a

14:21

bottom what's happening to the economy

14:22

that's why the economy is in a recession

14:25

so the time to buy stocks at the bottom

14:29

of the market is when we are in a

14:31

recession which is now in a recession

14:33

right now the trouble is a lot of people

14:36

say hey I'm gonna buy stocks when the

14:38

economy recovers when the pendulum is

14:40

over now what happens once the economy

14:44

fully recovers when the economy recovers

14:47

what is happening you are actually

14:50

buying at the top of the market and

14:54

that's why most retail investors when

14:57

they see the economy doing well they buy

14:59

stocks what happens

15:01

stocks go down but professional

15:03

investors we buy when the economy is in

15:06

recession because when you Kaunas the

15:08

recession and we buy a bind

15:10

bottom so we catch the best price and

15:13

write the bull market all the way up now

15:16

you take a look at the news headlines of

15:19

the past week what do you see right on

15:21

the 26th of March it says you know

15:24

jobless claims saw to 3 million a record

15:27

high 30 of a march coronavirus job

15:31

losses could total 47 million pushing

15:34

unemployment rate to 32% 6th of April

15:38

Janet Yellen the last fetch and person

15:41

she said second quarter GDP could

15:43

decline by 30 percent with unemployment

15:46

already at 12 to 13 percent so these are

15:49

all very bad economic news what do you

15:53

think the typical retail investor does

15:55

we need we call these news that's right

15:57

they will sell they will sell their

15:59

stock which is the most stupid thing you

16:01

can ever do what do professional

16:04

investors do professional investors when

16:05

we see all these bad economic news we

16:08

buy because it is a sign that the market

16:12

has bottomed I told you you buy on bad

16:15

news check this out look at this chart

16:17

over here again look at the numbers 26

16:20

March 30th March and 6 of April if you

16:24

look at the SMP 500 you can see all the

16:27

26 of March bad economic news market

16:30

goes up 30 up of much bad economic news

16:33

market goes up 6 of April their

16:36

increment news market goes up market

16:39

goes up where the economy is bad why

16:42

because the stock market moves 6 to 9

16:45

months a hit on the economy thus pocket

16:47

is not the economy and that's why you

16:50

can see that you know in my telegram

16:52

chat rooms whenever I buy stocks I tell

16:55

my students right for example to get

16:57

25th of March I said I just added

16:59

MasterCard at 236 dollars and 40 cents

17:03

and I never st lauda at 1:58 and this

17:08

was on a 25th of March over here I

17:11

started to buy stocks the moment I saw a

17:14

change in the market trend on the 26th

17:18

of March editing uninsurance

17:21

at 75

17:22

is a Hong Kong spot which I bought as

17:24

well on the federal match ed at Facebook

17:28

at 1:59 so you can see over here I

17:31

started buying more Facebook shares on

17:34

the 30th of March I said adding Bank of

17:37

America at 22 $21 right on the 30th of

17:42

March again I'm adding a SHR that's a

17:45

Chinese ETF at 25 cent entry so you can

17:49

see well because reading all the bad

17:50

news and the selling professional

17:52

invests like me I'm buying like crazy

17:54

and that is the difference between a

17:58

retail investor and a professional

18:00

investor and sure enough what happens

18:03

after I buy then you read this news in

18:07

the media hey stock market life updates

18:09

Dow jumps 5 her points up 30 percent on

18:13

the week 9 of April Nasdaq says blue

18:17

market begins start a new bamboo market

18:20

right so that's why the retail investor

18:23

always can always get screwed because

18:26

they read the bad news they sell stocks

18:27

and the moment itself stops the media

18:29

that tells you is a bull market and

18:31

you're screwed so never never make

18:34

decisions based on reading the

18:37

mainstream news blindly always take a

18:39

look at the price action of the market

18:42

and the intrinsic value of the stocks

18:44

you buy and learn how to use the

18:46

indicators which have been talking about

18:48

in my videos so by being able to add

18:52

more shares and very undervalued prices

18:55

in a bottom I'm able to cushion the blow

18:58

to my portfolio so you can see this one

19:00

of the portfolios that I have and yeah

19:03

my portfolio is still down for the year

19:05

there are in fact my portfolio started

19:07

at about $900,000 and big earlier and

19:10

right now is at eight hundred forty-one

19:12

thousand so it's still below the top of

19:15

the year right because as you can see

19:18

that we have not fully recovered back to

19:22

the high okay and and that is why like I

19:25

said because of that my

19:27

folio is still you know down from

19:30

$900,000 right now is when he beat her

19:32

at 41,000 dogs but when the market

19:34

eventually recovers back to the high and

19:38

beyond the high then you know this

19:41

economy way more than a million dollars

19:43

right but despite that you can see that

19:45

most of the stocks that I have my

19:46

portfolio

19:47

they have unrealized profits they are

19:50

profitable they are but what they're

19:53

green right because I added more shares

19:55

and very very discounted price that's

19:57

the key to it now let me just say also

20:00

that important disclaimer

20:02

just because we're at the beginning of a

20:05

new bull market doesn't guarantee that

20:08

we're going to go all the way to the top

20:11

right away or beyond that right away

20:14

because no one can predict how long this

20:17

ballpark is gonna last

20:18

is it possible that the bed could come

20:21

back for a rematch and get another bear

20:23

market really fast sure anything's

20:25

possible that's why it's an investor you

20:29

always buy in stages your is average

20:32

into the markets never buy at one time

20:35

so I don't buy at one time i buy shares

20:38

consistently so that even if the market

20:40

goes down again and becomes more

20:42

undervalued again I'll just buy more

20:44

shares because I know in the long run if

20:46

I might great companies at huge

20:48
