A big disappointment I have read most of Dent's books and enjoyed them. This is his weakest by far. I had high hopes, but was left vey disappointed.Dent made his name on demographics and his spending cycle, which are good tools for directionality but fail to match actual events. He tried to cover this by adding more cycles which stretches reality too far. I have a real problem with his supposed geopolitical cycle and his argument in the book is very poorly done. He has multiple pages of current negative events, but blows. Are the predictions real? Dave Just about finished with this book and really enjoyed it. Had read the one before this too. I then, out of curiosity, Googled "Harry Dent". You would not believe the number of articles on how many of his predictions have gone completely bust.I like his writing style and his level of confidence. I also like all the data he provides. I would take this book as "one more bit of data for your knowledge base" and not as the Bible as to where to put your money.. "Be cautious but aware" according to Carole. I agree with the review by Robert Savage. This book stretched a few pages by adding dozens of examples and anecdotes to make it book length. A rehash of the same cycles and demographics he has espoused for decades. BUT it is an easy read for any small investor who has not learned about waves, cycles, bubbles and bull/bear market patterns.
