Final Melt-Up to S&P 8000 - Then an 80 % Crash
David Hunter WARNS: Final Melt-Up to S&P 8000 - Then an 80 % Crash
Wealthion: 5-21-2025
Contrarian macro strategist David Hunter delivers his boldest outlook yet: a final parabolic melt-up in stocks during 2025, capping a 43-year secular bull market, followed by what he calls the biggest deflationary bust since 1929.
In this must-watch interview with James Connor, Hunter predicts the S&P 500 surging to 8000 and the Dow to 55,000 before an 80 % collapse wipes out trillions.
Key points he explains:
Why the Fed is already behind the curve and will soon panic-cut rates
How bearish institutional positioning could fuel the melt-up
Signs we may already be in a recession
Why the coming global bust could dwarf 2008
How a $20 trillion Fed balance-sheet expansion could spark hyperinflation later in the 2030s
Why the next bull market should favor commodities, oil, and precious metals over tech
Also discussed: his targets of $ 20,000 gold, $500 silver, $500 oil, and why traditional index investing may be “dead money” for a generation.
