Celente
Trends
Research Institute
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. *youtube.com

About
Peter Grandich
Managing Member, Grandich Publications,

With
no formal education or training,
Peter Grandich entered Wall Street
and within three years was appointed
Vice President of Investment Strategy
for a leading New York Stock Exchange
member firm. He was the editor
and publisher of four investment
newsletters, and appeared on national
TV and radio over 400 times.
Labeled
the Wall Street Whiz Kid, Grandich
gained national notoriety by being
among the very few who not only
forecasted the 1987 stock market
crash just weeks before it happened,
but on the very next day he predicted
that within a year the market
would reach a new all-time high
which it did. Proving his 1987
forecast was no fluke, Mr. Grandich
said in January 2000 that the
year 2000 will go down as the
year the great mega bull market
of the 80s and 90s came to an
end.
He
speaks at numerous major investment
conferences worldwide and was
awarded Best Speaker Award eight
times by the International Investors
Conferences.
