Gerald Celente
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," andpublisher 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.

trends, Gerald Celente developed the

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.
Years before Starbucks was a
household name, Celente forecast
the popularity of gourmet coffee
and decades before Pepsi and
Coke got into the water business
he predicted the "Big Boom in
Bottled Water."
On the geopolitical and economic
fronts, Celente and The Trends
Research Institute are credited
with forecasting many major
trends, including the "Panic of
'08," the collapse of the Soviet
Union, the last two recessions,
the dot-com meltdown, the 1997
Asian currency crisis, the 1987
world stock market crash,
increased terrorism against
America, "Crusades 2000," and
the quagmire in Iraq … before
war began.
Gerald
Celente has also accurately forecast many real estate trends,
including the big move to vacation spots and small towns, the
growth in the second home market, a real estate "fizz" in 2005
... plus hundreds of other social, business, fashion, consumer
and entertainment trends.

___________________________
It's
not an accident that the New York Post has
likened
Gerald Celente to a modern
Nostradamus. These days, in fact, Celente
almost makes Nostradamus look like an
optimist.
As he bounces from one media appearance to
another, Celente has predicted that the economic crisis will not
only worsen, but lead to food riots and a tax revolt. He
ridicules the Consumer Price Index because it fails to include
food and fuel and calls the Obama administration's stimulus
program "fascism."
No wonder conservative talk show hosts love
him.
Nevertheless, Celente has achieved a certain
degree of credibility with some of his earlier predictions, all
filtered through the Rhinebeck, NY-based Trends Research
Institute. He was on record as predicting the current fiscal
malaise as early as the fall of November, 2007, and bought the
Internet domain name Panicof08.com that month.
Celente's detractors claim that some of his
other predictions are undocumented, and he has been dubbed "Dr.
Doom" by those who feel his current take on the immediate future
is too dark. Yet his accuracy has been hailed by pundits ranging
from Oprah Winfrey to Bill O'Reilly.
A native of The Bronx (born Nov. 29, 1946),
Celente began making predictions as a professor at St. John's
University. Later, after a period working as an executive
assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate and a
stint with a chemical company, Celente made some fortuitous
investments in oil shortly after hearing President Carter refer
to the Shah of Iran as "A bastion of stability in the Middle
East." A visitor to Iran not long before, Celente had seen a
country ripe for revolt.
With his windfall from the leap in oil prices
that followed the fall
of
the Shah, he founded his institute in the Hudson Valley
community of Rhinebeck. The Institute website declares "Our
research distinguishes fact from fantasies, trends from fads and
assesses the new opportunities required to create the future..."
Celente, who characterizes himself as a
"political atheist" who "sees things as they are and not the way
I wish they would be," doesn’t like the future for 2009.
In an interview with humanevents.com, he
said: "The boys at the Fed re-inflated the economy by lowering
interest rates to a 46-year low - and in turn created the real
estate bubble, much bigger than the dot com bubble. Now they’re
creating the bailout bubble, which will ultimately dwarf the
real estate bubble. It will cause the implosion of the global
economy world wide - which will not be able to be repaired by
creating yet another bubble. Every time the government fails, it
tells a bigger lie and then a still bigger lie. These previous
bubbles were not allowed to pop -- but they didn't destroy the
infrastructure of the country. This bailout bubble will."
The only hope, Celente added, is for American
society to return to the virtues of personal responsibility and
hard work. Meanwhile, he has been critical of the country's
politicians, foreign policy, amusements, and even diet.
A staunch champion of the gold standard,
Celente sees an even worse depression in 2011, following the
"failed recovery" of 2010.
