On todays episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with David Hunter, a contrarian macro strategist with 49 years of experience on Wall Street. During our conversation we spoke about how the S&P 500 will hit 6,000 or higher, how it could be the fastest rally in history, what assets will perform the best, what will then cause an 80% drop and bullishness for metals. I hope you enjoy!
