The
Martial
Artist
of
Trend
Forecasting
—The
purpose
of
trend
forecasting
is
to
provide
insights
and
directions
in
anticipation
of
what
the
future
may
bring
–
and
to
be
prepared
for
the
unexpected.
Gerald
Celente,
a
Close
Combat
practitioner
and
black
belt
trainer,
well
understands
the
importance
of
proacting
rather
than
reacting:
"The
first
rule
of
Close
Combat
is
to
attack
the
attacker.
Action
is
faster
than
reaction.
The
same
holds
true
for
the
future.
You
know
the
future
is
coming
…
attack
it
before
it
attacks
you."
Founder
of
The
Trends
Research
Institute
in
1980,
Gerald
Celente
is
a
pioneer
trend
strategist.
He
is
author
of
the
national
bestseller
Trends
2000
and
Trend
Tracking
(Warner
Books)
–
"Far
better
than
Megatrends,"
and
publisher
of
the
internationally
circulated
Trends
Journal
newsletter.
Political
Atheist
—
Gerald
Celente
is
a
political
atheist.
Unencumbered
by
political
dogma,
rigid
ideology
or
conventional
wisdom,
Celente,
whose
motto
is
"think
for
yourself,"
observes
and
analyzes
the
current
events
forming
future
trends
for
what
they
are
–
not
for
the
way
he
wants
them
to
be.
Like
a
doctor
giving
a
diagnosis
after
gathering
the
facts,
whether
or
not
you
like
the
prognosis
doesn’t
alter
the
outcome,
make
him
an
optimist
or
pessimist
–
it’s
simply
what
is.
And
while
Celente
holds
a
US
passport,
he
considers
himself
a
citizen
of
the
world.
Globalnomic®
Trend
Forecaster
—
Using
his
unique
perspectives
on
current
events
forming
future
trends,
Gerald
Celente
developed
the
Globalnomic®
methodology
which
is
used
to
identify,
track,
forecast
and
manage
trends.
The
world's
only
trends
analyst
covering
300
diversified
trends
fields,
Gerald
Celente
and
the
Trends
Research
Institute
provide
trend
research
studies
and
consulting
services
to
businesses
and
governments
worldwide.
Celente
also
designed
the
nation’s
first
professional
course
in
trend
forecasting.
The
proof
is
in
his
past
—
Gerald
Celente
has
earned
his
reputation
as
"The
most
trusted
name
in
trends"
by
accurately
forecasting
hundreds
of
social,
business,
consumer,
environmental,
economic,
political,
entertainment,
and
technology
trends.
Among
them:
Celente
coined
the
term
"clean
foods"
in
1993
and
predicted
sustained
growth
in
organic
products
in
1988.
When
gold
was
at
$275
per
ounce
in
2002,
Celente
said
the
price
had
bottomed
and
in
2004
forecast
the
beginning
of
the
"Gold
Bull
Run."
Since
that
time,
with
pinpoint
accuracy,
he
said
when,
why
-
and
how
high
-
gold
would
go.
