Editorial Review: Product Description
For over fifteen years, New York Times bestselling author Harry S. Dent, Jr., has been uncannily accurate in predicting the financial future. In his three previous works, Dent predicted the financial recession of the early nineties, the economic expansion of the mid-nineties, and the financial free-for-all of 1998-2000. The Next Great Bubble Boom -- part crystal ball, part financial planner -- offers a comprehensive forecast for the next two decades, showing new models for predicting the future behavior of the economy, inflation, large- and small-cap stocks, bonds, key sectors, and so on. In taking a look at past booms and busts, Dent compares our current state to that of the crash of 1920-21, and the years ahead of us to the Roaring Twenties. Dent gives advice on everything from investment strategies to real estate cycles, and shows not only how bright our future will be but how best to profit from it. Dent gives us all something to look forward to, including: ** The Dow hitting 40,000 by the end of the decade ** The Nasdaq advancing at least ten times from its October 2001 lows to around 13,500, and potentially as high as 20,000 by 2009 ** Another strong advance in stocks in 2005, with a significant correction into around September/October 2006 ** The Great Boom resurging into its final and strongest stage in 2007, and even more fully in 2008, lasting until late 2009 to early 2010 Dent's amazing ability to track and forecast our financial future is renowned, and here he takes that ability to the next level, showing not only what our economy will look like but also how it will affect us as individuals, as organizations, and as a culture. From the upcoming wealth revolution to the essential principles of entrepreneurial success, the book describes a new society where economic and philanthropic development go hand in hand. In The Next Great Bubble Boom, Dent shows not only how the economic growth of the late 1990s was a prelude to the true great boom right around the corner but how all of us can reap its benefits.

Comment: We just threw out the library's edition of this claptrap. Hadn't checked out for a couple of years, so at least some of our readers had recognized this parasite for what he is. Word has gotten out that this fellow is in a class with Jean Dixon and Nostradamus rehashers. I imagine his new book about how to take advantage of the crash that's actually happening will wind up being his LAST book - no one will ever believe a word he says again.

Summary: yeah, right, this guy predicted a boom for 2005..2009 too

Comment: This author has lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned. He predicted a boom for 2005...2009, and that period turned out as bad as the Great Depression. I should sue him for the tens of thousands I lost. Seriously, don't waste your money.

Summary: Still Waitin' on that 40,000 Dow, Harry!!
Date: 2008-11-26 -
Comment: This guy's out with yet another book in January predicting another depression. So what happened, Harry? Did I sleep through that 40,000 Dow?? Oh, okay. Just another 32,000 points to go and THEN we'll have a depression. Not bloody likely.
Assuming you haven't lost everything you owned following this guy's advice in the past, save the last $20 you might have salvaged and DON'T buy this or any other book the guy comes out with.

Summary: Nasdaq 20,000?
Date: 2008-11-22 -
Comment: Page 73 of this book reads "Our best projection for the Nasdaq is about 13,000 around the end of this decade (2010), but it is possible we could see as high as 20,000." Let's see, the Nasdaq made its way up to 2861 by Oct. 31, 2007 and now sits at 1316 as of Nov. 21, 2008. Now today, I see this guy on TV saying he predicted the current market meltdown and has written a new book due out in Jan. 2009 entitled "The Great Depression Ahead". What a joke.

Summary: Nice prediction Harry

Comment: Harry, this boom is incredible. I can't believe how rich people are getting with the DOW almost to 40,000, just like you said.
