Summary: Once again a great book by Harry Dent!
Review: Sure, initially this book may look like a sequel to his other book "The Roaring 2000s," but to me I can't get enough of this guy who not only writes positive stuff, but also backs it up with data. That's the nice thing with Harry Dent's work, it always is factual and even if he leaps over occasionally, it still is never hype. Instead, the whole book is positive and encouraging, and we won't forget his foresight from the early 90s that so far, have virtually all become reality. Bottom line: it's a great book and well worth reading it. Another book that is very positive and optimistic, as it is truly helpful and brings a fresh outlook into everyones life, and I must recommend, is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding and Overcoming Depression" which is also available at Amazon.

Summary: "WHERE'S THE BEEF?"
Review: The book panders to popular sentiment without going thru the work of defending his conclusions. Mr. Dent clearly lacks the depth and breadth of understanding of his subject matter. He appears to merely want to sell books with catchy titles. Remember the old Wendy's commercial: "where's the beef?". Don't waste your time or money on this book I wish I hadn't.

Summary: Avoid! Try Sy Harding's "Riding the Bear"
Review: This book was never needed, it is rehash of the now thoroughly disgraced clap-trap Dent had in his earlier book about the roaring 2000s. So relentlessly wrong it is funny. Read Sy Harding's "Riding the Bear" and Charles Caes' "Tools of the Bear" to make easy money quick in this bear market that will last for years to come. Dent was merely a good salesman. This book's strategies will financially ruin you!

Summary: Gives you the 'Long' on the Western Economies
Review: We are seeing (and enjoying) similar macro-economic effects of the baby boomers in Singapore. However, as is typical with our far-sighted Government, we are now beginning to be actually worried about the "baby-bust"; if at the current birth rate (below replacement), we would be facing a declining population after 2020 or so.What Harry Dent puts forth makes sense - that baby-boomers drive economic growth. (It is only but one of many factors.) He admits that he came around to this population demographics reason for economic cycles not necessarily from pre-conceived ideas. Of course now that he has taken a stand he has to defend it for the sake of his professional reputation. According to the author, the American economy may slow down after about 2008. What does that mean to the investor? Lighten up on US equities? Overweight the other countries that are going into the baby-boom driven phase of their economies? Remember that his view is but one of many. As a matter of balance I would recommend a read of Krugman's "The Return of Depression Economics".
