An economist has doubled down on his grim prediction that America faces a stock market crash that would dwarf the one during the 2008 financial crisis .
Harry Dent first warned last December that an 'everything' stock market bubble would burst - prompting the 'biggest crash in our lifetimes'.
'If I'm right, it is going to be the biggest crash of our lifetime, most of it happening in 2024,' he previously told Fox Digital.
Given he predicted the crash was due to hit by May, critics who accused him of being 'crazy' appear to be correct.
But in a new interview the Harvard Business School alum said he stands by his claims. He says the benchmark S&P 500, for example, will plummet 86 percent.
However, he does admit the market bottoms are now more likely to be seen between early and mid-2025.
