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
