Is the final parabolic melt-up finally here? David Hunter, Chief Macro Strategist at Contrarian Macro Advisors, joins Jeremy Szafron to break down the mechanics of the market’s “final blow-off” and the 80% deflationary bust he predicts will follow.
As the S&P 500 pushes into record territory, Hunter explains why he believes we could see the market top as early as Labor Day. In this deep dive, we examine the hidden leverage in private equity, the potential for a $20 trillion Fed bailout, and why incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is facing an “inflation bind” created by the AI infrastructure boom.
Is your portfolio ready for the 80% wipeout—and the 25% inflation that Hunter expects to follow in the 2030s? Watch until the end for Hunter’s exact exit signal to watch before this 44-year bull market ends.
