Summary: Stay Away! All of Dent's Stuff Will Bankrupt You!
Review: Even before the wild melt down that started the year this wildly optimistic book came out, it was quite possible to read Dent's model as simplistic. He has taken one very valid insight - that demographic booms, particularly the baby boom, can drive economic growth, and focused on it to the exclusion of all else. He feels the demographics cause all other factors(inflation, entrepreneurship, interest rates, etc.) and believes that a predictable pattern is clear. Well, Harry, what's your portfolio worth now compared to 1/1/00? So much for predictability. Remember Warren Buffet, who said that economic forecaster's main role in business was to make fortune tellers look good.
