Keith McCullough S&P 500 The 2027 market downturn will be worse than 2022's bear market (when the S&P 500 fell ~30%), with parts of the market crashing before a full-blown selloff
See quote
[0:02] 2027 is 2022, but potentially a lot worse because we have a lot more bubbles and the Fed's going to make a major policy mistake, invert the yield curve, and then have to cut interest rates. I expect parts of the market to be crashing before you get a full-blown one like 2022.
