For example, a call that the S & P 500 would rise 100 points on a positive consumer price index print came true last year.
That's true so far, with the S & P 500 jumping 4.8% in May after finishing April down 4.2%.
As equities struggled, (the S & P 500 fell almost 20% in 2022), Lee felt like the risk of inflation was being mispriced.
Because of that, he foresaw a rebound in 2023, a year that sent the S & P 500 more than 24% higher.
"There was a pretty widely-held view that the Fed had to crash the economy in order to contain inflation," Lee said.
