Hour:
Harry
S. Dent Jr.
H.S.
Foundation
Harry
S. Dent Jr. is the Founder and President of the
H. S. Foundation, whose mission is “Helping People
Understand Change”. Using exciting new research
developed from years of hands-on business experience,
Mr. Dent offers a refreshingly positive and understandable
view of the future. Mr. Dent is a well-known author
and is known as the developer of The Dent Method,
a forecasting approach based on changes in demographic
trends.
In
his book The Great Boom Ahead, published in 1992,
Mr. Dent stood virtually alone in accurately forecasting
the unanticipated “Boom” of the 1990s. Today
he continues to educate audiences about his predictions
for the next and possibly last great bull market,
from late 2005 into early to mid 2010. Since 1992
he has authored two consecutive best sellers The Roaring
2000s and The Roaring 2000s Investor (Simon and Schuster).
In his latest book, The Next Great Bubble Boom, he
offers a comprehensive forecast for the next two decades
and explains how fundamental trends suggest strong
growth ahead, followed by a longer-term economic contraction.
Mr. Dent also publishes the HS Dent Forecast newsletter,
which offers current analysis of economic, and financial
market trends.
Mr.
Dent received his MBA from Harvard Business School,
where he was a Baker Scholar and was elected to the
Century Club for leadership excellence. Since 1988
he has been speaking to executives, financial advisors
and investors around the world. He has appeared on
“Good Morning America”, PBS, CNBC, CNN/FN,
and has been featured in Barron’s, Investor’s
Business Daily, Entrepreneur, Fortune, Success, US
News and World Report, Business Week, The Wall Street
Journal, American Demographics and Omni.
While
at Bain & Company he worked as a consultant with
several Fortune 100 companies. He has also been CEO
of several entrepreneurial growth companies and an
investor in new ventures. A frequent speaker on economic
trends, Mr. Dent educates clients and partners on
The Dent Method and provides strategic vision for
asset allocation and investment selection.
Peter
Schiff President
Mr. Schiff is one of the few non-biased investment
advisors (not committed solely to the short side
of the market) to have correctly called the current
bear market before it began and to have positioned
his clients accordingly. As a result of his accurate
forecasts on the U.S. stock market, commodities,
gold and the dollar, he is becoming increasingly
more renowned. He has been quoted in many of the
nation's leading newspapers, including The Wall
Street Journal, Barron's, Investor's Business
Daily, The Financial Times, The New York Times,
The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The
Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News, The
Miami Herald, The San Francisco Chronicle, The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Arizona Republic,
The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Christian Science
Monitor, and has appeared on CNBC, CNNfn, Fox
News and Bloomberg. In addition, his views are
frequently quoted locally in the Orange County
Register.
Mr.
Schiff began his investment career as a financial
consultant with Shearson Lehman Brothers, after
having earned a degree in finance and accounting
from U.C. Berkeley in 1987. A financial professional
for nineteen years he joined Euro Pacific in
1996 and has served as its President since January
2000. An expert on money, economic theory, and
international investing, he is a highly recommended
broker by many of the nation's financial newsletters
and advisory services. Mr. Schiff holds NASD
Series 4,7,24,27,53,55, & 63 licenses.
