Legendary investor Paul Tudor Jones says he believes an explosive stock market surge reminiscent of 1999’s dot-com frenzy is likely imminent.
In a new interview with CNBC, Jones says investors that try to capitalize on the next five months should prepare for a swift exit.
Jones says markets are never certain, but aggressive fiscal and monetary policies could be key drivers for a huge breakout, including rate cuts and a 6% budget deficit.
“That combination, that fiscal monetary combination is a brew that we haven’t seen since, I guess the postwar period, early 50’s, something like that. And that was crazy times, right? Coming out of the war…
I’m suggesting that we’re in a period that’s conducive for massive price appreciation and a variety of assets.”
Jones notes that bull markets deliver the greatest gains in the final months before a peak, drawing a parallel between October of 1999 and March of 2000.
When it comes to the potential winners, Jones points to gold, Bitcoin, a Morgan Stanley retail basket with meme stocks and the Nasdaq, driven by inflation signals and unique policy conditions unseen since the postwar era, driven by massive inflows and narratives around fiscal-monetary stimulus.
