Natalie Brunell

In this bonus episode, Natalie Brunell chats one-on-one with David Hunter, a macro economic strategist with more than 40 years on Wall Street. David is the chief strategist at Contrarian Macro Advisors and he is predicting that we are going to see a final "melt up" stage of the market cycle before a historic crash (David believes it will be an 80% decline peak to trough). David correctly predicted in 2020 that oil would go to $55, S&P to 4300+ and the 10 yr to 1.55%. He has since raised many of his targets and actively tweets his analysis of market behavior. Natalie Brunell hears more insight on David's predictions, discusses the Federal Reserve being caught between inflation and a crash sparked by tightening, and explores other topics like wealth inequality, Bitcoin and sound money.
