A recession will surely hit the US economy and stocks will plunge back into a bear market then, David Rosenberg said.
"The compounding effect of even a mild recession on earnings and what it does to the multiple will still lead you into a fundamental bear market," he told BNN Bloomberg.
Rosenberg warned that cracks were beginning to appear in the US labor market.
"You're going to hear a lot of this hand-holding, 'don't worry, it's going to be a mild recession, it's going to be a shallow recession.'
Ultimately you're paying for earnings, not GDP anyways, and the compounding effect of even a mild recession on earnings and what it does to the multiple will still lead you into a fundamental bear market," Rosenberg told the outlet.
