The Exact Date of Next Stock Market Crash
780 segments
Six months ago on this channel, Winston
here warned you that a wave of trillion
dollar IPOs would mark the top of the
market. And this week, Ray Dalio,
literally the most successful hedge fund
manager in history, went on Bloomberg
and he said the exact same thing.
Maybe he watches the channel.
>> [laughter]
>> Well, maybe he watches Winston. He's
saying the AI bubble is about to burst.
SpaceX is listing in a week's time at
1.7 trillion dollars. Anthropic just
filed another trillion dollar IPO, and
it means that 200 billion dollars
of Wall Street money needs to go into
these IPOs. And what's it going to find
it somewhere? And the question nobody is
asking is
what are they going to sell to buy
SpaceX?
We just said Broadcom, one of the
biggest AI stocks on the planet that
just crashed 12% in a single night
on very good earnings. And I'm going to
show you why that wasn't an accident. It
was literally the first domino. And just
when you thought the bubble was the only
risk out there, inflation data just came
in hot. Literally hotter than anybody
expected. And Goldman Sachs, you know,
the bankers with the golden heart,
they're modeling now oil at 150 dollars
for this year. If that happens, the Fed
can't save you. Rates are not going to
go down. And by the end of this video,
you're going to understand exactly what
Ray Dalio sees that most investors
don't. Where the 200 billion dollars are
coming from and the precise sequence of
events that tells you when this party
ends. So you can position yourself on
the right side of what's coming. My name
is Felix Prehm, an ex-investment banker.
This is Winston here, who's the brains
behind it all. And
we've also founded Goat Academy where
over the last 6 years our retired Wall
Street mentors have taught 25,000
students, which is super super fun. And
if you watched my video back in January,
you already know I've been tracking this
exact setup for months. So, I'm going to
connect three things for you Dalio's
bubble warning, the IPO frenzy, the
Broadcom crash, and yes, also inflation.
And when you see how all of those four
things, isn't it? Yes. Four things
connect, everything clicks into place
for you. So, this isn't a doom and gloom
video. This is an opportunity video
because there is massive opportunity
when that much money moves around. But
this video is going to cover a lot of
ground. So, I'm going to look at some
macro, IPO, the whole thing.
And that will be a lot of information to
absorb in, you know, 20 minutes. So, I
put together a full research report.
Well, Winston obviously has. I just take
credit for it. And you can download that
completely for free at felixfriends.org/
bubble.
>> [laughter]
>> Uh link's in the description. Not to
worry you or anything. No, no, no.
Winston is pretty relaxed about this.
So, let's start with
So, let's start with good old Ray.
Because my buddy Ray isn't some random
YouTuber with a theory. He's the founder
of the largest hedge fund in the world
called Bridgewater Associate. He's been
managing money through every bubble,
every crash, every crisis for 50 years.
And here's what he just said. All great
technology changes produce bubbles. And
then he said something that I think is
the single most important thing any
investor needs to understand right now.
He said,
"The pricking is the converting of
wealth into money."
And that sounds like an odd sentence,
but it's actually quite simple. Let me
break it down for you. The bubble
doesn't burst because the technology
fails. AI isn't going to go away. Dalio
was also very clear on that. AI is a
wonderful technology in many ways.
Except if it's stealing your job, but,
you know, it is it is useful.
Um
the bubble bursts because of liquidity.
When paper wealth needs to become cash.
He also said He also said his bubble
indicators are near levels last seen in
1929
and 2000.
Yeah, I don't know why I'm smiling
either. It's probably because I'm
getting to massage this lovely little
bear here. So, let me give you the
simplest way to understand this. Imagine
Sarah. Sarah has a lemonade stand and
it's worth a million dollars on paper.
Why? Because her neighbor said that he'd
pay that much for it. Wonderful, right?
Sarah is a millionaire on paper.
But
there is only $10,000 of cash in the
entire neighborhood.
So, if Sarah actually tries to sell her
lemonade stand, who's got the money to
buy it?
Well, nobody.
That's exactly what's happening with AI
companies right now. They've created
trillions of dollars in paper wealth.
Valuations are
sky-high, but paper wealth is not money.
You can't spend a valuation. You can't
pay your mortgage with a stock price.
The moment insiders need the cash,
whether for taxes or for debt payments
or the third yacht or the fourth
mistress,
they have to sell.
And if a lot of them need cash at the
same time,
well, guess what? There aren't enough
buyers and the price does what? Correct,
it collapses.
Not because the company is bad, because
there isn't enough actual money to
support the valuation. And Dalio says he
estimates the big tech companies,
Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, will
spend about $650 billion on on AI
infrastructure this year. $650 billion.
An insane amount of money going out of
the door. And that spending needs to
actually turn into
income from revenue. If it doesn't, you
got a $650 billion problem.
Now, let me connect this
to history, because we've seen this
movie before. In the year 2000, the
dot-com bubble burst. 86% of the IPOs
that year were losing money. Nobody
cared, right? It was like, "Oh,
whatever." I worked in a dot-com company
in 1999. Our
Our success metric by the investors was,
"How much money are you spending? The
more, the better." Yeah. Now, the
internet was real. It changed
everything. Um but they did say at the
time everything was different. And this
time was different. They're saying that
again right now. What happened to the
Nasdaq? Went down 78%.
78%. And some of your favorite companies
like pets.com, uh Winston,
uh eToys, all these guys were just gone,
right? They just disappeared. The tech
was real, but most of the companies
built on that tech went to zero anyway.
Now, we've changed ear here most
importantly, but there is a difference
in fact. I'm not trying to scare you
with the dot-com bubble because today
because today's AI leaders are actually
profitable, right? Your Nvidias, your
Microsofts, your Googles, they're real
businesses. So, this isn't a solvency
bubble like 2000 was. The companies
won't all go bankrupt. This is a
liquidity bubble.
And the companies will survive, but the
investors who buy at the top,
they're the ones who get burned. And
that's exactly what Dalio is warning
about.
Now, don't get me wrong. Every time this
much money moves around from one pot to
another, which is what's about to
happen, there is a massive opportunity
here. The people who understand how
these bubbles work, well, they don't
just sort of make it through them. They
actually potentially get rich from these
bubbles
or from the bursting. So, let me ask you
something. Just be honest with yourself
here.
Have you ever bought a huge winner
too late? You saw the stock, you knew it
was good, you watched it run up, and by
the time you actually bought it, the
easy money was gone. Or worse, maybe you
held a winner for too long,
and then you felt that knife in your
stomach as your money slowly bled into
Wall Street's pockets, right? And it
happened week after week. You get that
red that red and I rest, and this is
dreadful.
Now,
that isn't bad luck.
It is literally a gap between knowing
what's happening and knowing what to do
about it.
And closing that gap is the single most
important thing you can do as an
investor. And
Winston and I are going to do something
about that for you.
We're going to run a free live session.
One-time only, first-time only, never
again. And it's called the greatest
stock market playbook.
It's 2 hours live. You can get yourself
a free seat at greatestplaybook.com.
And I'm going to walk you through, well,
Winston will, obviously, the exact
playbook for navigating what's come.
The link's in the description. You can
grab yourself a free seat. Do it right
now.
Show up for yourself. There'll be no
replay. Don't ask for them.
Now, when I told you 6 months ago that
all the smartest founders in the world
are rushing to sell their companies at
the same time, you might have been
thinking, "Oh, this guy is a bit of an
extremist." Well, then guess what?
They're doing it right now.
We're looking at the biggest IPO in
history listing next week on the Nasdaq,
June 12th, targeting 1.7 trillion
dollars for SpaceX. Now, that's the
whole valuation. They're actually going
to raise 75
billion dollars. Still not exactly chump
change. It's trading at 60 times
revenue. Just throw that out there.
Anthropic, you know, the guys who make
Claude, um
they just filed the confidential
IPO filing with the SEC. They're going
to list in October this year
with a 965 billion valuation. Well,
let's make it a trillion, right? What's
a few billion between friends? Now,
Anthropic in February this year was
worth 380 billion.
>> [laughter]
>> So, they created 600 billion between
February and May. I mean, that's pretty
impressive, isn't it? And these two IPOs
alone have a problem because they are
going to suck up 200
billion dollars of money.
Now, you might be thinking this sounds
like a large number, but it's not the
sort of large number that Wall Street's
got lying about. Well, where did 200
billion come from? First of all,
it is more than all IPOs combined since
2022.
So, 2022.
It's kind of a lot, right? So, all the
IPOs in 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and 2025
and so forth in 2026.
All of them together are smaller than
these two.
Now, I told you in Jan that when all the
founders in the world, all the smartest
guys in the world all want to sell at
the same time,
it isn't a coincidence. They're reading
the same data you're looking at right
now. They want to sell at the top, and
they want you to be the buyer. So, think
about this question. Nobody talks about
this. This is the most important
question in the world right now. Where's
the money going to come from? Well,
there are only three places 200 billion
dollars can come from.
Wall Street sells existing positions,
existing stock.
They can borrow on margin,
or they redirect new capital, which is
your money.
But what it means is really is that
great Wall Street's going to sell
something to buy SpaceX. So, the
question is what?
And that answer is obvious when you
think about it. For the last 3 years,
the only way to play AI was through the
Magnificent For the last 3 years, the
only way to play AI was through the
Magnificent Seven. Microsoft, Nvidia,
Alphabet, Amazon, they were the AI proxy
trade. You couldn't buy OpenAI, so you
bought Microsoft, right? You couldn't
buy SpaceX, you bought defense stocks
and satellite companies, and some of us
made a lot of money with those, but now
you can buy the real thing. Why own
Nvidia as an AI proxy when you can own
Anthropic directly? Why own defense
stocks as a space proxy when you can own
SpaceX? So, capital rotates out of the
proxy
into the real thing. That's the rotation
I was talking about. And there's a
structural element that makes it worse.
When SpaceX enters the NASDAQ 100,
which they will on literally day 15,
it's a done deal. Index funds, you know,
your ETFs, your QQQ, and all that stuff.
They have to buy SpaceX.
So, they need to sell other stocks. It
is mandatory structural selling pressure
on every other stock in the index. And I
think we just saw the first sign of
this. This week, Broadcom reported
earnings. Revenue was up 48% over the
year.
Semiconductor revenue doubled. Earnings
per share beat expectations,
and the stock crashes 12% in a day.
So, record revenue, beat all estimates,
AI revenue doubled, and the stock still
crashed 12% in one night. Why?
Because Broadcom had already rallied
40% up this year.
So,
the market had gone up before this. The
market had priced in perfection. I mean,
the company guided very strongly.
Investors took profits, which is what
investors do, at least the Wall Street
ones. I'm not sure about you.
It is a textbook late cycle behavior.
Buy the rumor, sell the news is sort of
a popular way of describing it. But the
part that really caught my attention was
this.
On the earnings call,
but here's the part that really caught
my attention. On the earnings call,
Broadcom CEO named their six core AI
customers: Google, Meta,
and then Anthropic, OpenAI. Two of the
six biggest customers are companies that
are about to IPO. And
I get all my earnings data by the way.
We have a In the Winston app, there's an
earnings flash when big important
earnings happen and we tell you what
happened. We give you the key questions
here, the from analysts and then from
the
management, the replies, and as well as
our take on the whole thing. So,
earnings were actually very, very good.
And I mean, bear in mind, this is a
stock that Donald Trump has an 8.6
million stake in, right? This is like
you think in the weird world that we
live in, it'd be looking pretty sweet.
And I'll give you guys, if you want to
play with this and check it out, a um
3-month access to the Winston app as
well to give you guys some extra value
here. Um
But And there's a link down below in the
description, but let's connect the dots.
The money is already flowing towards the
new shiny thing. And away from the
companies that used to be the only way
to play Ion, AI.
If a stock can report record revenue,
right?
Record revenue, massive cash flow. To
us, this company got better. We moved it
from a 74 to a 76 score, but it crashed
12% in a day.
It tells you the market is no longer
rewarding good news. It's looking for
reasons to sell. And historically, that
is one of the most reliable signals of a
late cycle market. So, now you see the
picture, right? You got Dalio's warning
about
liquidity. There's not enough money
about. 200 billion in IPOs are about to
drain that market. Broadcom crashes on
record earnings because people are like,
"Well, that was great. Let's collect our
profits so we can buy SpaceX next week."
But don't get me wrong, there was a
massive opportunity here. Every time
this much money moves, some people make
fortunes.
But they're made by the people who have
a plan, not by the people who have FOMO.
So, be honest with yourself.
Have you bought a huge winner too late?
Have you held a winner for too long and
felt that, you know,
pain in your stomach, right? Your money
bled into Wall Street's pockets because
actually finding the good companies
isn't the hard part. I just showed you
the setup. The hard part is the
playbook, the entry, the exit, the
position sizing, the discipline
to make sure you don't have 30, 40, 50%
drops. And that's what
I'm going to cover for you on Saturday.
Free session, 2 hours live training. Go
to greatestplaybook.com, grab yourself a
ticket, show up for yourself so you
learn the skills before this tsunami
hits the market. Now, everything I've
told you so far assumes, and my mentor
used to say assumptions are the
And my mentor used Everything I just
told you so far assumes, and my mentor
used to say, "Felix, assumptions are the
mother of all f-ups." He was less polite
than me.
It assumes that the Fed keeps printing
money, that the liquidity keeps flowing,
that the safety net stays in place, but
what if it doesn't?
Because something has happened in the
sort of economic world that changes
everything. Jobs data came in better
than expected. And you might think,
"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?
Economy's strong. Woohoo!"
No.
>> [laughter]
>> Factory orders also came in stronger.
But do you see the stock market is not a
reflection of good news for
in the real world. The stock market has
very little to do with the real world.
Well, the stock market sees a problem.
Why?
Because a hot economy, so lots of growth
lots of jobs,
create
more inflation. People have more money,
people going to ask for higher wages,
and so on.
And the Fed
can't
cut rates when you have a lot of
inflation.
They have less room to print money, less
room to keep the market pumped. And this
is what Wall Street calls good news is
bad news. Sounds kind of schizophrenic,
but welcome to the wonderful world of
finance. It just means the Fed's going
to keep a bit of a bit of a foot on the
brake. That's the opposite of what we
need right now.
And on top of that, I mentioned this
briefly at the top, there's oil. Goldman
and Sachs, you know, the bankers with a
the kitten orphanage and the and the
bunny rabbit sanctuary, those guys,
they just said oil is going to hit $150
or $160 a barrel this year. Why? Because
the Strait of Hormuz, you know, that
lovely narrow waterway that we all talk
so much about.
Nobody knew where the heck that was,
right? It was a lovely world and nobody
knew where that was.
Um we track it on here, you can see
what's going on. Also again in the
Winston up, you can even see
the actual ships.
And I can tell you that is not a
I can tell you that is not a lot of
ships passing it. You want to see the
vessels not piled up here
and on the other side, you want them
going through. But you know what? No
one's freaking going through cuz no
one's suicidal. 20% of the world's oil
goes through.
And after the conflict with Iran, cuz if
you called it a war, you'd have to ask
Congress, oil doesn't flow anymore.
And if oil does hit $150, which is
hopefully not going to happen, but it
could, the Fed can't cut rates. You're
going to have high inflation. They might
even have to hike rates. Now, can we
make money out of it? Yeah, I mean I've
I've I've been in an oil stock for ages,
for example. I'll show you the one.
Again, I'm not telling you should run
out and buy it, but I want to illustrate
to you, not that I'm smarter, I just
want to illustrate to you that once you
know the rules, you know that there is
always an opportunity. Been in this one
here since
about about here, September. Why? I
didn't know anything about the war in
September, there wasn't one, but I saw
that the money was flowing in. We're up
61% on that investment, which is pretty
sweet, right? Um so, high oil prices for
me are going to make me money, but for
most people rising oil is a tax on
everything.
On every business and every consumer on
the planet, and it can make or break the
whole setup. Every single major crash
we've had was preceded by an oil price
spike. Yeah, it's true. Go look at Look
at 2008. Look at 2000. Look at every
single crash we had. It always oil went
up before it. How do I know that? One of
my mentors told me.
Let me tell you called Elliot. He's been
in the commodity markets for you know,
20 years.
And
so in January I gave you a three-step
playbook, right?
So let me update that with what we have
right now. Stage one I said economic
weakness could force the Fed to start
printing money again. Well, check on
that one.
The Fed started something they call
reserve management purchases. It's just
money printing, 40 billion a month.
Almost 500 billion a year that is.
Why did they do that? Because the banks
were running running out of money. So
they bailed out the banks quietly. The
second stage was I said money would
flood into assets. Stock prices would
rally, valuations would go to extremes,
and I said when that happens the
founders would rush to IPO at the top.
That's exactly where we are right now.
The market's been rallying. Broadcom was
up like 40% before it crashed. SpaceX
IPOing. Anthr- Anthropic coming up. Oh,
somebody said Anthrax coming up.
Anthropic coming up. Now stage three,
this is what's coming next.
And the timeline is now much more
specific than it was in January. SpaceX
SpaceX lists on June 12th. We know that.
For 6 months after the IPO insiders and
early investors they're locked up. They
can't sell.
Now, they're going to do some hedging,
which could depress this price a bit,
but they can't sell. And even then they
might not sell. I guess they might
borrow against it, but still there'll be
some selling. So something the selling
pressure will kick in in December 2026.
Anthropic is targeting their October
IPO. That lockup would expire in about
April 2027.
And what happens in between October and
and and December? You get midterms.
Those lovely elections Americans hold
for them for fun, right? Now, this
second year of the presidential cycle
has historically been not great for the
market. 90% accurate since 1933.
Past performance isn't a prediction of
the future and I've got a crystal ball
and I'm not a financial advisor and all
that, but the danger zone isn't
tomorrow. The danger zone is the window
from late 2026
to early 2027. The lockups expires, the
insiders can sell, the midterms create
uncertainty, and the market figures out
which AI companies actually make money
and which ones are just hype because
we're going to start getting their their
earnings reports. So, my January thesis
was a forecast.
Confirmed. Dalio's validated the bubble
thesis. Broadcom is showing us we're in
a late signal, late cycle signal rather.
SpaceX has filed. The IPOs are coming.
But there are two things that haven't
changed
that I didn't anticipate. First,
inflation. The macro data, the economy
is running hotter. If inflation
re-accelerates,
which it looks like it will, the Fed
loses its ability to print as much
money.
It removes the safety net. So, I assumed
the Fed would keep printing. I assumed
interest rates would come down, but I
didn't foresee
the second risk, oil.
I didn't think
the El Presidente would start another
war, but he did.
And if this escalates or this continues,
then you get an oil shock and that
breaks a lot of our thesis. So, the
playbook always has to account for two
scenarios. Scenario one, the classic
setup.
Market rallies into the IPOs, corrects
after the lockups. And and the quality
stocks get cheaper, which creates a
beautiful opportunity for us if you know
what to look for.
And then scenario two where we have
inflation and oil breaking this setup
earlier. The Fed not stepping us The Fed
not stepping in to rescue us, and the
correction becomes deeper and faster
than we would like. So, what am I doing?
First of all, I'm going to give you the
full playbook on Saturday. The full
rules, how to think about it. Not just
for this setup, but for all future
setups. Cuz once you understand the
patterns, you can make much better
decisions the way Wall Street does. We
follow the money, essentially. But, I'm
going to tell you what I'm doing.
Doesn't mean you should do it. I'm not a
financial advisor. I'm just sharing with
you what I'm doing. The step number one
is I don't buy IPOs. I never do. There
are like 5,000 stocks out there in the
United States. Globally, there are a
heck of a lot more. If I click on all
markets in the Winston app, how many
stocks do we cover? 9 and 1/2 thousand.
Now, that's only primary listings. So,
there are 9 and 1/2 thousand stocks out
there that I could buy who have all the
audited returns, proven management, a
track record, the market understands it.
So, why would one brand new stock that
I've never been able to analyze deserve
more of my attention than those 5,000?
Always ask yourself. It is FOMO that
drives people into IPOs. And also, ask
yourself, why are the smartest people in
the world
honoring you by letting you be their
exit liquidity?
Why have the founders and the early
investors, the people with the most
information, decided that right now is
the perfect time to sell to you? Right?
And number two, I stay invested.
But, I have exit management on every
single item I have. I have a stop setup
on every single position, every single
stock that I have. I manage my position
sizes.
And I move around with wherever the
money is flowing. From this sector to
that sector to this sector. I don't care
what makes me money. You know, whether
it's an oil services stock that's up,
you know, 70% or one of the things I
bought last week, I mentioned it to you
guys, was this one here. And I don't
know if that's going to be a cropper or
brilliant. It's up 12% in, you know,
about a week, a little bit less than a
week. I bought a little bit later than
that. And I don't care whether this is
the most brilliant company in the world.
What I care about is whether the Wall
Street money is buying it. Cuz it's
much, much easier, in my humble opinion,
for things to go up when lots of money
is buying it and not just me who's got
some sort of affliction, sorry,
conviction about it.
But for those of you who are not going
to show up for themselves on Saturday
because you're not that serious about
acquiring the skills to manage your
money better, let me give you a couple
of signals so at least you've got
a bit of a bit of a life vest around
you.
Signals I look for, when the ARK ETFs
start rolling over, as in going down,
that is bad. When you get good earnings
and they get sold, that is bad. And when
your barber talks to you about
a stock or an IPO, it is really, really
Now, my barber is 83 years old, so it is
particularly bad when he starts talking
to me about specific stocks. Now, having
said all of that and having scared the
bejesus out of you, the opportunity is
the correction. I love a good
correction. Now, I realize that this
bad for most people because they haven't
got the skills to deal with it. And I
genuinely think about that every single
day, which is what I why I do what I do
here, to educate more people cuz I think
ultimately we're going to have a much
better world if we do this financially
education. Let me know if you agree with
that. Put an agree in the comments down
below. But in a market corrects, quality
stocks get cheaper. So, you can buy high
quality stocks on sale rather than at
all time highs. And that is a wonderful
thing. So, the crash is never the enemy,
but you need to know what to do. You
need to know what to look for. You need
to have a system. You need to have a
structure. You need to have some money.
So, come and learn with us the greatest
stock market playbook. First and likely
last time we're going to run this live
this Saturday. We're at 2 hours. It
works if you're on a European or a North
American time zone or South American
time zone or anywhere else in between.
Go to greatestplaybook.com. Grab
yourself a seat. Doesn't matter how much
money you've got. This is about skills.
Anybody can learn skills.
And if you got some value out of this,
share it with a friend. If you think
some your friends might get some value
out of the free live session, share the
link with them as well. And
I wish you
And I wish you
improving skills. All the best. A few
weeks ago on this channel, Winston here
showed you four small stocks before
anybody was really paying attention. One

This video, presented by Felix Prehm, argues that the current AI-driven stock market is exhibiting signs of a liquidity bubble, similar to the dot-com era, rather than a solvency crisis. Highlighting warnings from Ray Dalio and the upcoming massive IPOs of companies like SpaceX and Anthropic, Prehm explains that the market is struggling to find the liquidity required to support such extreme valuations. He emphasizes that record earnings, such as those of Broadcom, are no longer being rewarded, indicating a late-cycle market behavior. Additionally, he points to external risks like inflation and rising oil prices that could limit the Federal Reserve's ability to provide support, suggesting investors should prepare for a potential correction by focusing on risk management and a disciplined investment strategy.
