Hour:
Gerald
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 recording.
