In this special episode, Natalie Brunell chats one-on-one with David Hunter, a macro strategist with more than 40 years on Wall Street. Hunter is the chief strategist at Contrarian Macro Advisors and he is well known for predicting that we are going to see a final "melt up" stage of the market cycle before a historic crash that rivals 1929. Hunter said after the January correction in equities we are poised for a euphoric melt up as the Fed is unable to tighten the economy, but that historic rally will end in a massive bust. *** This episode is powered by Bitcoin 2022 - the biggest Bitcoin event in the world.
